Anyone make/find a non-google export yet?

Ready Player One

At least more salaried workers will be paid overtime with the new rules thus week in the US.

You can’t turn pictrs off as a configuration setting?

Can CSAM distributors use it as a test suite for workarounds?

Edit: first draft was too declarative where I meant to pose the thought as a question.

Yeah that really made it hard to convince normies to use it. Have you found a similar replacement that does e2e privacy if both using the software and sms/rcs as a backup if not?

Most of the others were Emacs related. I’m sure someone on here is even using the new emacs client lem to read this comment.

Wine and crossover can probably meet the needs of most of your windows app needs at this point, which realistically aren’t a lot if you look into it, and keep a windows vm / cloud instance handy. Why not try a vm of Linux on your windows machine (or use WSL) to get your toes in the water to see if your assumptions are still correct today?

Where does ChatGPT fall into this meme?

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2959 got closed. From what I gather it seemed like too large of a task to tackle right now. They are recommending to use pinned posts with links to other posts if that gets too large as a workaround.

Edit: I tried writing out an explanation of how defederation works, but Lemmy has a few more gotchas with communities being owned on different instances. See https://lemmy.world/comment/276067 for some info about how the Beehaw defederation of LW worked.

Meta can and already probably does have crawler bots capturing the data anyway. Anything public on the internet you should assume is consumable by these types of companies.

Additionally, instances of ActivityPub platforms can further require releases of ownership if they have a TOS stating so in their registration (like any other website). IANAL but I would reach out to one to discuss your options on restricting the usage of your works if that is a concern. In general, I think the safest option is to host your own works and share only the links and what you don’t mind being scraped on sites like these. Some AP platforms like Mastodon Glitch Edition allow local-only (non-federated) posts, but as far as I know Lemmy don’t support that yet.

Nothing either :(

That’s a good idea that I’d really like that to be a norm in news communities.

How do you prevent that? I think that might simply be inherent of unrestricted news communities, not necessarily the platform itself. You can have a more restricted news community that disallows click bait or polarizing titles or only allow posts by approved users (or go further and lock to instance like beehaw).

If you don’t want to wait for that feature in Lemmy, you can interact with Lemmy users and communities on other AP speaking platforms. Kbin seems to do this in an all in one approach, but you can easily follow Lemmy users in Masto too. I’ve been splitting between Lemmy for communities and Masto for people so far.

I think Lemmy being decentralized and not having user karma by design already gets a pretty good base. With the concerns of censorship, admin drama, and protecting marginalized groups, the rest has to come from your instance admins and moderators of communities you follow. With the nature of the platform, you can create toxic places but those are easily defederated and/or blocked.

There is a lemmy seed script you can use as an admin that gets you a “default sub” experience https://github.com/Fmstrat/lcs

What software did you use to manage the backups? This seems like a really neat idea!

For read only reddit use teddit (old.reddit style) or libreddit (new reddit style). They proxy instead of use the API so both still work but you can’t log in. sub.rehab has a good listing of reddit to lemmy equivalents.
