It doesn’t block them though does it? My understanding is that it simply filters them so that you don’t see them anymore. They’re still there doing their thing though.

Before Musk, Twitters advertising was driven by engagement, and engagement was driven by encountering things that made you angry. So they were slow to respond to anything but the most egregious cases of hatred and bigotry.

He’s mostly on nostr of all places…

Thank you for that link! That looks like it will be useful!

Fedipact is an anti meta pact that some instances have taken.

Blocked is instances that have blocked meta but aren’t part of that pact. Blahaj zone is one of the latter for example. We block threads because it houses hate groups. Were it to stop doing that, we wouldn’t block them, but fedipact members still would, because their concerns are to do with what Meta itself represents

I prefer Sharkey, but I’m sure that comes as no surprise :P

This article was the first time I understood that particular way of implementing nomadic identity, and it’s the first time I’ve felt genuinely excited by the idea.

My concern is that with “instanceless” nomadic identity on the fediverse is that ultimately, it would mean that instance would lose their sense of differentiation and community, and would simply be infrastructure instead, and that’s how we we end up with bluesky.

This implementation though is amazing. It lets people actively lean in to community based instances, without having to only pick one, and it gives people protection against loss of any particular instance.

I don’t see why not. And in fact, they would benefit from the whole relay thing, allowing multiple accounts on different instances to be the “same” community

Oh, now that’s fascinating, and explains some of the issues we’re having. Our hosting provider had some issues, so all of our queues were delayed. It took us a while to recover, but we got through all of the outstanding queues, except for lemmy.world, which still has a huge amount outstanding. And I’m guessing that’s because we’re processing them only slightly faster than new ones enter the queue!

Probably because in Egyptian mythology, Thoth, who was an Ibis headed deity, was the god of knowledge and wisdom, and thus Ibis became a symbol of knowledge and reason.

It’s somewhat amusing that the Egyptian Ibis is so closely related to the Australian Bin Chicken that they may actually be the same species

What do you mean waiting to migrate?

Post history migration will never be implemented. But you can already use apps to move over your subscribe lists etc.

Lemmy’s Image Problem

I see what you did there…

I’ve still got an old Olympus E-300 that fits that category :)

It’s quite an amazing sight isn’t it?

I haven’t experienced anything like that. The only real issue is that the autofocus isn’t quite as fast.

I went mirrorless and got an adapter for my existing EF lenses

Edit - If you have a look through my post history (not my comment history) you’ll see lots of bird photos. Anything with a 2023 or 2024 date on it was generally taken with my old EF 70-300mm lens using an adapter ring to mount it to a Canon r50.

Not quite. Yank would be a closer comparison to Pom.

Seppo is closer to “Pommy bastard” in terms of severity. It can be used in a good natured way, but it’s slightly derogatory.

Seppo is old, slightly insulting Australian slang for an American

A locked thread from 3 months ago that has been crossposted in to half a dozen groups isn’t the best example of how replies and comments federate across the fediverse.

Get in to the ones that fill a niche for you!

Like, it doesn’t matter how good PeerTube is, I’m unlikely to use it, because I rarely consume “Youtube like” content and when I do, it’s without an account or interaction, following external links.

But I use the threadiverse and microfediverse as my only social media outlets.
