Yes, that’s one of the restrictions. I also think you can’t see your users’ comments. (perhaps posts too, I am uncertain)

If you’re not interested in following something there or it’s not a topic you’re interested in, it’s alright. You could always create another account somewhere else or browse their instance anonymously.

The good thing about Lemmy is that you can always switch to another instance in the future. I started for a few months on .world and then moved to lemmy.blahaj.zone.

Welcome! I hope you have a great time here and I’m glad people are moving :)

Right, except that’s not politically motivated, and is a useful change for people reading the code, both for women and non-binary people.

Calling pronouns “political” is the dogwhistle they always use

Well it’s 20ish% for Gen Z, so the acceptance likely plays a part there

And what’s bad with furries or linux socks?

No, I tried, they don’t comply, and tell you to make a complaint to your DPA and the Irish DPA or go to court if you have a problem with that.

If

Anyways, so yes, you are a bigot, thanks for confirming

Of course it’s in the eyes of the beholder, like anything is, but from the reaction of others, it seems like most people in this thread agree with me or have a similar viewpoint, so I think it’s worth considering why people had that impression. If it’s not your views coming out or your intention, fix what was pointed out and there’s that.

they are on a mission to impose their views on anyone who disagrees with them. What a sad way to go through life.

Nevertheless, I don’t know about you but this doesn’t look like a joke, nor does your initial comment, as it seems you’re taking what you said quite seriously, I don’t see why you’d say that if you weren’t.

But anyways, bigoted jokes are just that: bigoted. Not that great of a defence. Nobody has a problem against “joking around”, it’s more about what your comment was full of.

Well there’s Ladybird which is open source and uses its own browser engine. Can’t seem to remember or find the other one though, but this one is more mature iirc

Impose their views on people who disagree with them? Damn that’s crazy, people want others to treat people with respect and not be bigoted? How political

Yes, you can run a PDS, but while it might be true that you can self-host a relay with a couple thousand people (I didn’t find anything about this in that blog post but I don’t see why you couldn’t), using a limited relay like that would mean this would not be a full/real instance of Bluesky (unless you disconnect from the rest of the network, but then why even bother)

So let’s examine the problems with relays here:

After recent growth, our out-of-box relay implementation (bigsky) requires on the order of 16 TBytes of fast NVMe disk, and that will grow proportional to content in the network.

Core Bluesky engineer’s blogpost

In July this was “only” about 1TB, in mid November around 5TB, and now 16TB? That’s insane growth if you want to self-host that, and will get expensive really fast really quickly, especially since fast storage is important here. I don’t think many individuals have the resources to self host this just for themselves.

Another critical problem is that when more people self-host relays this has the wonderful side-effect of increasing the necessary computation power and network use, because Bluesky scales O(n^2 ) , which is really bad if you want anything close to a decentralized network.

So yes, it is true that it scales down terribly, this is by design. It’s a step up from Twitter, because this time multiple corporations can control it instead of one, but it isn’t that good either.

I use an app called Moshidon, it’s a fork of (a fork of) the official app, it’s quite nice

I completely switched to Mastodon and here, I’d rather not use platforms that are locked down by corporations and will inevitably enshittify without leaving me a simple way to migrate

Yeah, you subscribe to hashtags to start, find people you agree with/find interesting, follow them, and then as they boost stuff you’ll find more and more people to follow.

They’re not necessarily the same, there’s two major differences between them physiologicaly:

1. Asexual people date others unless they are also aromantic (well aromantic people also can date but it’s less common)
2. Some asexual people can and do have sex

Well I’d say most of them are federated together, or at least those with a good amount of users. In practice you don’t really get islands other than I guess troll instances that everyone has blocked.

And AFAIK as long as an instance isn’t blocked by yours (and vice versa to be useful), you can follow a person on that unfederated instance and it should just work and get federated.

The way I understand it is that they can relicense it and then publish it if they want, but the GPL would still fully apply to the previous versions.

The first question you cited seems to refer to any different organisation/individual making changes to the source code. And the second seems to refer to revoking the GPL for an already released version, which they would of course not be allowed to do.

This would make sense as ownership of the copyright would supersede a license.
