Oops sorry, don’t know why jerboa didn’t warn me
¡Hola chachareros!
Aquí os dejo el resto de mis rincones en el Fediverso para no perderme nada:

Maybe a good intention, but the wrong community.
Try out communities like !linux_gaming@lemmy.world and !pcgaming@lemmy.world which might appreciate your content.
heck if anything, the Fediverse, as it is right now, is more susceptible to this. You can spin up spam instances on new domains, with spam users, and have them federate to existing instances, faster than volunteer run instances can ban/defederate.
So you end up with not federating by default, but having some trusted web of instances that federate and maybe an approval process for new instances to federate with? But that’ll still lead to centralization with “trusted” instances and new instances having a hard time to join the club (there’s also the scaling problem of the fediverse, but that’s besides the point). So you end up with a few very big instances and the owners of those instances having all the power. Or maybe small isolated islands of mutually trusting instances? Still better than tech oligopoly, but also a far cry from the original dream.
I miss the mid-2000s YouTube when there was no monetization incentive. People just made videos and posted them because they believed others would enjoy them. That was it.
Good times.
Mastodon displays properly Markdown posts from other instances, but doesn’t allow creating posts with it. I’m trying to fix this. I know there is glitch-soc, but I don’t want to switch to a fork for a single feature. So is there a patch for mainstream Mastodon that adds this functionality?
Marktowndon?
I mean, if he will
like can i send a dm to someone and talk to them here?
Made me curious, are there any lemmy instances with embedded matrix protocol? Does it even work like that?
It’s a different protocol altogether so unless someone went out of their way to build a bridge between Lemmy and Matrix, probably not.
Not the commentor, but yes: time to set up and configure each account, not interacting with folks on the social media I gave up, and time and effort pumping posts and comments into the Fediverse.
None of that pays the bills of the developers.
On mastodon side there is iftas.
What would be an equivalent for lemmy?
Since I am on a single user instance, the instance receives only stuff from the communities I subscribe to.
This means that I just select what I am interested in.
So far after over 1 year I never seen a single “dangerous” piece of stuff, so I think the risk is a not overstated.
The downside is that my “all/everything” feed is identical to my subscribed feed, bummer.
So defederation just means we block some of instances
Is there any way for someone to remove themselves from a starter pack here?
Good question, but I think you will need to ask the original author.
In other words, can any user delete its data on its will and is there something that will remove its data from all the connected activitypub services? I believe this should actually be a basic feature and pretty much a requirement.
Anything you post on the internet is public knowledge forever. End of discussion. Most people won’t care at all, in most cases almost nobody or perhaps even literally nobody will ever even see it, but the harder you try to hide it, the more the Streisand Effect will magnify it until eventually everyone knows about it.
Anyone telling you they’ll delete your data from the internet without clarifying that it is in fact impossible, is at worst deliberately lying to you usually for their own benefit, and at best making a promise they literally have zero ability to keep.
I would hope that Fediverse services will never lie to you and tell you your data is deleted, because it can’t be.
I think not? Which is kind of a drawback to the fediverse. You gotta be careful what you post cause it’s probably gonna be somewhere forever.
I could be wrong though
Oh man, seeing folks suggest it as a Discord alternative always had me uninterested, because I don’t even use Discord and it just seemed like yet-another-standard.
Now I’m reading this really technical title for a talk which mentions XMPP and I’m instantly sold.
Well, to be honest, “Movim” also sounded like a VC-funded startup. Looks like it’s a bus-factor-of-1 open-source project instead, which I have significantly more trust in.
You have to ask whoever is running the server but it is possible
