Feel free to link us to these abusive communities then since you are making a singular claim yourself.

Yes I watched your video. So many wrong comments from ignorance. And blaming a protocol for the behavior of people? Another commenter here pointed out how Tor could be blamed in the same way. Why not just do away with the internet then? Ridiculous.

Nothing wrong with the matrix spec. I’ve ran a matrix homeserver for several years now and have never had issues with illegal material. It’s free, open source, and self-hostable. If you have an issue with matrix.org that’s a different issue. Don’t use matrix.org servers. In fact, they have made it a point in their literature that they want you to use your own servers, they preach against centralization, and point out that matrix.org is an entryway to get you started, not an endpoint.

I’m not sure about the software always breaking, I haven’t had this issue. I will say though this most recent update (19.4) has me frustrated, mainly because the instructions are clear as mud (especially pictrs 0.5). Once I get it figured out I’ll have to post a real upgrade doc instead of what is currently available. I have never seen the lemmy matrix as busy as it is now with upgrade questions and puzzled admins.

There’s an interesting book I read recently related to this called The Anxious Generation: how the Great Rewiring of Childhood is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness. I’d recommend it.

As a counterpoint, EFF put out this article today: The Surgeon General’s Fear-Mongering, Unconstitutional Effort to Label Social Media

I am using Kinoite for quite a while now and not once did layering break anything.

That’s great for you. Not everyone may use their distro in the same way as you.

Not to mention the whole Firefox debacle of including an outdated borked version based with the system install instead of just moving to Flatpak install of most recent stable release. There’s a very valid reason why package layering is discouraged by atomic maintainers and why toolbox is there by default as part of OS. And don’t even get me started on DKMS and driver installation.

So, the points in favor of Kinoite is sticking closer to upstream, however it seems like I would need to layer quite a few packages. My understanding is that this is discouraged in an rpm-ostree setup, particularly due to update time and possible mismatches with RPMFusion

It’s not only discouraged but often times it’s system breaking. I used Kinoite for a year before I just became too frustrated and gave up. The first thing I learned though was to stay away from package layering because it tended to break things more often than not. Basically if you can’t find or build a flatpak and you don’t want to use toolbox all the time, just stick with workstation. Immutable is great when deploying to multiple servers or locked-down corporate workstations, but it makes no sense for your personal setup especially if you’re already familiar with Linux.

Even more shocking is the revelation that somehow, even private DMs from Mastodon were mirrored on their public site and searchable. How this is even possible is beyond me, as DM’s are ostensibly only between two parties, and the message itself was sent from two hackers.town users.

I find this hard to believe but stranger things have happened.

That’s too bad. Nova’s usually a good show.

Ok

This is where the nature of federation really shines. .ml is one of the biggest lemmy communities? It doesn’t have to be. In fact as lemmy is still so new and various situations continue to shake out I would wager that in a few years time the top current communities will be replaced. And later on those will be replaced. Censorship resistance is built into ActivityPub by virtue of its decentralization.

I was thinking about the digg exodus to reddit just the other day.

Nevermind then. I was gonna say Samsung’s default mail app does what you want and afaik has no connection with Samsung or Google servers.

What model phone do you have?

You’ll want to use a reverse proxy with separate domains/subdomains for each service.

If you’re serious about it, yeah I can.

Yeah https://zulip.com/ they’re actually pretty awesome

I see your point but you can call out China’s Uyghur genocide while still being against forced labor in other parts of the world.

What was the reason?

I know about it. It’s pretty popular, so much in fact that you can buy a wide range of routers with it preinstalled.
