This is actually the problem with mid sized communities. If there’s two political communities and their content is 70% overlapping then you’re obviously going to unsubscribe from one as your feed becomes cluttered. But then you’re missing that 30% of content from the other community.
Bans LGBT+ people
My fyp is full of bipoc LGBTQ+ people? Twitter on the other hand tries to feed me right wing news sources and disinformation all the time. There’s a spectrum here and TikTok is far on the other side.
Also to be frank the algorithm is by far the best out of any company with a “for you” algorithm. It blows pretty much anything else out of the water entirely.
Is it a for you based on your instance or based across all mastadon instances?
One single god God, perhaps what makes a god a god? I do believe we form a network or web of connected consciousness. Who’s contained within this web and how interactions work on it is where it gets interesting.
Your subscribed will be the same. All will differ as it grabs everything everyone on that instance is subscribed to.
Ex. If you’re on lemmyworld you’ll see everything there by default but if you swap to instance X and nobody in x is subbed to niche.community@lemmyworld then it won’t be brought to your All
I have no doubt that it’s well maintained and well tested, but how does this provide benefit to an every day intenet user.
The setup for i2p is virtually impossible for 98% of internet users. How do we apply i2p benefits to the 98%. This is the rewrite that must be done. The code is solid and works yes, but it’s the social application that needs to be rethought.
The absolute greatest people you can target with i2p are torrenters as it proves the MOST benefits to them immediately and you generally don’t even see any of them adopting i2p. This is the problem that needs to be thought through.
I2p is notoriously difficult to setup up for the average user as well as being pretty slow right?
It’s also 20 years old, do you think the core i2p code would need to be retackled in order to make it more available to the average user and at that point would it be more advantageous to start from scratch?
But honestly it’s not a huge deal, I swapped an esim in under 3 minutes last week
physical sim card trays
Seems like a backwards move IMO. honestly haven’t needed a tray in ~6 years
Being able to rip the battery out when the phone locks up
How often does your phone lock up that that’s necessary? I used to have lockups a lot more but android is damn stable now, haven’t had one in years.
Needing to make sure it’s actually off and can’t be remotely powered on
Do you disconnect your PC’s PSU?
When it’s 3 years old and the hardware is still well up to the task but the battery lasts 4 hours.
Fair, but if you’re getting 4 hours SOT after 3 years, it’s just not a great phone. My current Note 10+ still pumping out 10 hours SOT and I’m a HEAVY user.
Honestly in 2015 I’m totally on your side for this, but in the last few years I’ve never felt the need to hotswap batteries, and only slightly felt the need to replace it in general.
Just curious, what situations do you find yourself in relatively frequently that a hot swappable batter would be more convenient?
Nowadays w/ 15 SOT I don’t think I’ve actually needed one minus camping where I don’t really use my phone much anyways.
Also tagging onto this if there is a possibility of UFOs our defense radar systems are the only ones that would pick them up besides China’s.
It’s also important to note that Google is doing this already as well. It’s almost impossible to use Google with my VPN provider as I’m slammed with 5 captchas every Google.
Why should Stack Overflow (part of Prosus - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosus ) be welcomed when Meta / Threads is shunned for being a big corporate evil company?
Being shunned from the Fediverse for being a corporate (evil or not) company is an inherently bad way to think about the Fediverse.
The beauty of the Fediverse is that it’s open to everyone and free (minus hosting prices/your data) to join, if we suddenly say we’re banning every corporation, then we’re a bit of a joke of a platform as that’s the exact opposite intention. While defederation exists it’s a joke to assume every huge instance will decouple from every major corporation.
Yes it is not optimal that an application such as Threads can adopt the protocol, but generally unless they destroy the protocol itself (highly unlikely) it’ll only affect competitors in direct competition like Mastadon. Even whilst being affected the main user base should remain as it’s currently made up of like minded individuals who despise corporations, respect our data privacy etc
This is exactly what Kbin is intended for, it essentially bridges both platforms, I’d suggest you check that out as well.
Tagging onto this: Does anyone know of the easiest way to backfill Immich with photos from Google photos all at once besides manually downloading them from the Photos site?
Someone somewhere has to host the image. Realistically it should be the same people hosting the instance so you don’t run into cases where historical posts have all their images dropped. In an absolute ideal world everyone selfhosts their own images, but that’s an absolute fantasy.
I also just bought one 2 days ago 🙃🤦♂️
Someone on one of the privacy communities were talking about a tor hosted Lemmy ~week ish ago and said a few people were working on getting one up. Not sure on the specifics though.
Realistically this graph wouldn’t include Snapchat, as it’s less of a “social media” than the others. Most people nowadays use it strictly as a messaging platform.
