A lot of us are pretty new to the fediverse and we've arrived just in time to grapple with what is easily the biggest federation/defederation controversy ever to hit it. I've put this thread together to hopefully help communicate some of the more complex ideas that we're trying to get our heads around....
I honestly think reason 3 just shouldn't be included, it changes nothing. It ultimately is a non-point. I think this post is one of the better one's explaining this situation. Many others include non-nonsensical arguments.
"Defederation is about what an instance allows in, not what an instance allows out. Defederation stops you seeing the defederated instance's content, but it does not stop them seeing your instance's content." Is the best summary for this situation, thanks!
Livestreaming has gained significant popularity as a means of sharing content globally. The emergence of platforms such as Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook Live has led to a surge in available streaming software options. Among the multitude of choices, OBS Studio and Streamlabs stand out as two highly favored solutions.
Corporations don't just sit out on new technologies, and no matter how hard you try you can't force them to. Defederating from Meta's new project preemptively is naive, and will not do much of anything....
Hard disagree with to see sentiment that people who use the fediverse want freedom, alot of the people I see on here instead look for choice. 'Freedom' may be a side effect of that, so is many of the positives of choice.
The idea of 'freedom' is inheritly flawed if your relying on someone else.
I have many accounts with instances I trust, and my own instances.
That is choice, not freedom.
To have 'freedom' on the internet means a P2P model where everyone directly communicates with each other.
Often times when duckduckgoing (is that the right term for that) advice for products, I use the !ddgr key to directly search reddit for advice. But in a post-blackout world, I need to do this a lot less. So I want to know what the best places are to get reviews and advice for products that are human and not top 10 listicals.
Well, messages have to be sent to each server which then propagates to the server. Think of it as E-Mail where if it hasn't hit the server, it doesn't exist.
This message shows anytime the magazine or user is on another instance. This is mostly because we do not want to rely on scraping each other sites. Each interaction with someone is an 'activity', these activities are sent out to all related people.
Anyone here been using the CableMod angled high power connector? Anyone had any issues with it on their their end? Finally picked it up today, it looks like most of the melting issues are still from it not being seated correctly
