Beehaw is looking to shut down and or completely defederate.

They already de-federated 447 instances, I doubt that will make much difference.

As someone who mostly likes those things, that does seem to be a big problem here.

Make each user function as an instance, to solve the mess of netsplits/defederation.

I can’t help, but I love that recycling thin clients is become more popular.

lemmy.basedcount.com and lemmy.dbzer0.com are both interesting.

It’s like people are taking the ideologies of the instance owners and labeling anyone in it to have the same ideologies. Where did this come from?

I generally agree, but hexbear exists mostly as a place where r/chapoTrapHouse users went after it got banned from reddit, so it tends to have a specific type of user. (not that I agree with de-federating them, despite not being exactly aligned with them politically)

Whatever’s cheapest lol

Set your default view to subscribed in user options to show only the sublemmys you are subscribed to.

You can change it in user settings.

I guess I can understand how some may be concerned about the latter happening, but given mastodon is open source a hidden algorithm isn’t really possible (barring some esoteric technique like code obfuscation)

The biggest, most significant reveal at this stage of development is that Pixelfed’s groups feature will be launching with compatibility for both Lemmy and Kbin

Awesome!

they spend an awfully small amount of time discussing the real and tangible harm that KF has brought to this world.

As callous as it may sound, it isn’t their job to talk about that. I’m sure there’s plenty of charities who’s job it is to do that you can support, not to mention the police who should investigating if they caused real harm.

No idea why you’re getting downvoted when lemmy uses an algorithm by default.

If you go to a bank and attempt to steal money, but you were unsuccessful in doing so, there wouldn’t be any loss, but you’d still go to jail and it’s widely accepted as wrong.

Theft is taking property with the intention to permanently deprive the owner of it, which you were attempting to do

getting a service, e.g going to the barbers and running out of the store before paying

Technically fraud not theft.

digital stuff is great!

Until they pull a 1984 and delete your copy of 1984

All the CIA/NSA ones will be mysteriously not picked up.

Isn’t this like the fourth time this has been posted? the conversation always goes around in circles with nobody changing their mind.

I use brave search from firefox, seems the least shitty search engine so far.

Nothing against brave the browser, I’ve just been using firefox for about 10 years so have a lot of inertia.

Brave search seems marginally better than others.

Aren’t those ads personalised to your browsing history?
