Again, I know what an analogy is. We already established that.

No, the only thing we established, and now confirmed, is that you don’t understand the difference between an analogy and an equivalency.

I don’t understand why you want to waste your time tap tapping away about shit no one is talking about.

There’s a specific reason you chose Bin Laden and Hitler to make the analogy.

Yes, there is. To get the point across. The reason was not to make an equivalency.

The point is not Raisi = literally Hitler.

The point is celebrating the death of horrific people is not necessarily a bad thing.

If you think Iranian leaders are equivalent to Biden Laden and Hitler

Do you just not understand the concept of an analogy?

Everyone rejoiced when Bin Laden was killed also. I’m sure lots of people did when Hitler died too.

Sometimes people celebrate the death of horrific and oppressive people. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Only ones with 2GB RAM

Yes, I plan to add it to our local non-profit org but right now it feels super Alpha. And I cannot get the Meetup integration working, which is paramount, as it will save me a whole lot of work 😅

Last time I checked there was no functioning Mobilizon instance based in North America

There is, because I run it 😀

If they want any fediverse account to be able to subscribe, which they do

Subscribe to the user, not the publication. If they want to actually read the article, they’ll have to log in and give them money.

This is pure speculation but it makes the most sense to me.

A new network will have to start from scratch and with the “nobody is there, so I won’t join”-mentality, potential growth is severely limited.

There’s “nobody” on Fedi either. Also federation isn’t for everyone. It greatly complicates lots of things.

Neat. It would be nice to see the directory also opened up so there can be other directories.

Also would be cool to have streams embedded rather than opening up a new site in a new window.

New? Old? Don’t think it really matters in this case

Yea the paid subscription question is the big one here

What is the question, exactly?

I assume your Ghost account will become a Fedi account and your articles will be automatically shared with headlines and links to the article, along with federated boosts, likes and comments.

Heaven forbid we should get our news from sites that aren’t riddled with ads and pop-ups, or creators should be compensated for their work.

Will adopt*, in the future

At this point I’m not sure any social platform that launches without an eye towards federation stands a chance, really.

That is a…hilariously bold statement. As much as I would love to believe that, the entirety of the Fediverse comprises ~1% of Threads. Not to mention Instagram or Facebook.

Tag a Fedi account in the post description.

It would be great but it won’t happen. Even if you ask them nicely.

You did 🙂

It’s funny when people mention they are worried I’ll burn out, probably not realizing I take every second day off.

Do you know how much Drag Race, Real Housewives and Desperate Housewives I’ve been forced to watch with my partner lately??

If anything, I’m burnt out from reality tv shows (except Drag Race, Nymphia + The Grande Dame are my top favs)

For real though, balance is important and I’m the last dev you have to worry about burning out ❤️

…Well then what is “PixelFed Groups” and why does it federate with Lemmy if it’s fundamentally different?

Okay but, why wouldn’t you just use Lemmy? Is PixelFed going to censor posts without a photo?
