I've been using #Kbin for a while since reddit exodus, but it wasn't until like a week ago that I decided to create an account. It's been great, it is the best way for me to experience the #fediverse, I used mastodon and firefish before, but I think I like more the community format, and not losing the possibility to follow...
Ngl I’m a little confused on how this works for the most part but I am interested putting my One Piece hyper fixation into urusai #onepiece#anime#newbie
@tiger_lily420 Welcome from another #OnePiece fan! It seems you have already gotten help. But I would recommend not to think too much about it to the point you feel overwhelmed, just use it as you would on other social media. :D You will learn as you keep using it.
Are you up to date with OnePiece? I see you are a #nami enjoyer too! ;-)
@mrpablington Really excited about it! I caught up with the story with the anime and after discovering projects like #OnePace and hearing issues people have with the anime, it made me wonder when a remake will be made. I was expecting something like 5 years after the original anime ends, but here we are.
A friend of mine said that the reason he haven't watched #OnePiece is because of how the early episodes look, others, because is over a 1000 chapters/episodes. After the news, they have said they will give a chance when it comes out, so I genuinely believe this will brake even more the breach for new fans.
Meta just announced that they are trying to integrate Threads with ActivityPub (Mastodon, Lemmy, etc.). We need to defederate them if we want to avoid them pushing their crap into fediverse....
@mypasswordis1234 I mean, what is the point in defederating while being in a Lemmy instance? You cannot interact with microblog while using #Lemmy. The only thing that comes to my mind is that threads users will not be able to comment on a lemmy post or comment, but let's be honest, the way communities will probably federate to #threads (the same way it is today with mastodon*) is not good, thus reducing the amount of attraction a lemmy post can get over there.
For some weird reason in the implementation of the AP protocol, lemmy posts are seems as just a link on mastodon, the replies are complete though. If someone understand this better and wants to explain, feel free to do it.
If for whatever reason you never wish to interact with #Threads, you can personally block it for your account. This hides all posts and profiles from Threads, prevents anyone from Threads from following you, and stops your posts from being delivered to or fetched by Threads. Simply click the "Block domain threads.net" option on any Threads profile or post you see in Mastodon.
@tasket If they want to #scrape all your information, they will, it is publicly available on the internet. Wouldn't be surprised if they already did it with their AI. No, it does not matter if you add no index to your robots.txt or profile.
People have this misunderstanding, if they add ads, it will be for users of #threads, other servers will not see the ad. What about if they inject an ad to every post? That would make no sense, their income come from ads, but personalized ads, you probably hate them, but tons of people find them useful, besides they won't be able to have metrics for a wall of text or image at the bottom of every post for others in the #fediverse.
@stux This is the way. I think people are overreacting about threads, ActivityPub is an open protocol, no one owns the network and anyone can join. You don't want to interact with them? Join an instance that is not federated with them or block the domain, the protocol allows you to. Let people enjoy things, many will love to follow their friends or favorite creators without having to go to threads.net directly or any other centralize service, and this open the possibility to even follow an account through #RSS on threads more easily. The truth is, people don't care about centralization, ads, algorithms, they love them.
We are less than 1% of meta user base, it is not like they are hungry for a few millions of user in the fediverse as fedi users are making it seems to be, when they have billions across their services, and #threads alone have more than the whole #fediverse in a couple of months.
If they later decide to eliminate #ActivityPub from their services, the fediverse will remain the same as it is right now, used for people who are considered techie.
So I’m nearly halfway through watching One Piece. Why do I get the feeling that Boa Hancock is going to convince Luffy to marry her the same way Chi Chi convinced Goku: by telling him that their wedding will include a feast? 😂
@jcalexandrewrites Personally, don't see that happening, not a fan of them as a couple, specially of this take. I don't like the idea of Luffy marrying someone by being tricked with food, I feel like people make Luffy more dumb than he actually is, he is excellent at emotions, is direct, and he wants freedom, I want him to end up with someone (if he does at the end of the story) because he chooses to be there. Don't want to spoil things, in which episode are you? Do you mind if I show you something? Anyway, just keep watching...
At the end, we are speculating, and the author can do whatever he wants, but he stated in an interview (this year or last year) that one-sided love is for the gag.
@jcalexandrewrites Perfect, you are close to the episode I was going to make a reference, so, I won't tell you anything, it is not like is a big spoiler anyway, just relevant to what we are talking. Enjoy the ride!
@jcalexandrewrites No, I think those are filler episodes, what I mean happened in canon, if I'm not wrong, is around 500ish. Do not search for it, be careful, you will probably end up spoiling yourself huge stuff for the plot.
As a huge #OnePiece fan, I was enjoying it at the get go, but I have to admit that there were some moments where I felt it was slow, but I kept watching because of the way fans talked about it, the moment I felt completely in love with the series was at Arlong Park Arc (ep 31-44), especially with the episode 37, for others is later or early in the story.
I understand it is scary to get started after seeing the amount of chapters and episodes it has, it takes time commitment, it's been almost two years since I watched the first episode, and it has been an incredible experience. You have multiple options to start.
Watch the anime. Fans complain about the pacing, it was annoying for me at certain moments, but for me, most of the time I didn't notice it. It has the advantage of being more accessible, I would say, most people will likely watch on a streaming service with the dub in their native language. Watch One Piece on Crunchyroll
Watch One Pace. Fan edit of the anime. This is a project that takes the episodes of the anime, and edit them to make them more truthful to the source material by removing filler scene, long reaction shots, stretched fights, fixing certain errors from the original anime (especially from the old ones, like color schemes since they didn't know or errors that made the final version probably because of deadlines of being a weekly anime since 1999) and removing censorship from certain censored scenes. You can download the episodes by torrent or watch through telegram. Their website claims it 45% faster to watch than the original. One Pace official website
Watch One Piece Live Action. Even though it has certain controversial changes that I don't agree with, I loved how it opened the door for a lot of people to read the manga, watch the anime or One Pace. Watch One Piece Live Action on Netflix
I agree completely, don't get me wrong, I was liking it so far. But that episode was what made me realize what story I was getting into and made me fell in love with #OnePiece.
I had a good time watching too, not saying it was bad, just I didn't like certain changes, but I understand why they had to do it, it is a different medium and if I'm not wrong, they didn't have much time.
Mark Zuckerberg: Starting a test where posts from Threads accounts will be available on Mastodon and other services that use the ActivityPub protocol. Making Threads interoperable will give people more choice over how they interact and it will help content reach more people. I'm pretty optimistic about this.
Are you using Dropbox cloud storage? You do not want 3rd party AI technology partners to have access to your Dropbox files? Flip this switch, which is on by default. Go to web->account-> settings- 3rd party AI. Please turn it off. Please boost so everyone know how bad this move is … 😡
@asteroidrainfall#RSS for the win! My internet browsing is mostly done through RSS. I personally subscribe to channels with #invidious or #piped instead of youtube.com.
When I found out about this app, I was blown away about how cool the concept is. Sadly it was already dead, at that moment it made me wonder why other services weren't build like that. I don't think it will be easy to create a service like that and probably have too many downsides I'm not aware.
That would be awesome! And with RSS feed even more, sadly Meta is known for blocking at a huge scale scraping, so that would be really hard, just look what happened to bibliogram and barinsta. (I'm aware we have proxigram these days)
Why are peertube channels federated like a magazine or a community on lemmy?
