But that was already in the process of changing

But I thought BlueSky was open source and decentralized? /s

EDIT: In case it’s not obvious (as it apparently isn’t to OP) if BlueSky was either of those things then it could not be simply shut down by a CEO.

Non humans yes, non persons…?

The whole point of federation is a variety of moderation styles so it doesn’t really make sense to federate in comments from other communities because it would take away any identity that exists

I noticed on the redditalternatives subreddit whenever someone mentions Lemmy and someone else is like “I didnt like it because of XYZ” someone else will often say “you should look into Piefed its much better”

Which is funny to me but at least it’s working!

Should just be “to prove you are human tell us how many 'r’s are in strawberry”

my instance required me to name a food from star trek lol

Go with Bazzite, it tries to mimic SteamOS out of the box. Very easy install/setup process (easier than windows).

Bazzite is Fedora Kinoite with some extra stuff, Kinoite might be better for a desktop setup but either one is totally useable for gaming and desktop so don’t overthink it.

I see, then what you’re asking for is sadly impossible.

Also FWIW I do not have the same issue as you. Not sure why!

Yes, but there are no (cannot be) any content rules that apply to the entire fediverse, the admins of each instance determine what experience their users will have.

Not everyone is seeing the same posts you are seeing, and your instance has no rules on the topic. You could have more luck enacting change by messaging your admins or making a meta post in your instance’s meta community.

I think immutability actually takes away from the confusion and kind of makes the overall experience much more similar to windows where editing system files is something rarely done even among most power users.

Nobody really seems to be pointing out that you are on an instance that does not require the behavior you are requesting.

I would suggest installing Fedora Kinoite, poke around it for 20-30min and if you find it too confusing then just putting windows back.

My point is that it’s not a big decision/commitment. And it’s trivial to undo!

Ah ok, so ignoring Calibre for a moment, what’s the difference between Calibre-Web and Calibre-Web Automated? The ReadMe does not contain a list of the differences.

This is explaining the difference between Calibre and Calibre-Web.

The person you replied to asked what the connection is between “Calibre-Web” and “Calibre-Web Automated”

Lemmy and Piefed are much more 1:1 reddit replacements. Mbin is it’s own thing, which is very high quality, but has less out of the box appeal to someone looking for “fediverse reddit”.

What’s going on? Why does this offtopic comment have 14 upvotes and no upvotes?

EDIT: Dead internet theory here in full force. This post is about Lemmy. The only thing that has to do with Substack is the example post that OP highlighted to demonstrate issues with Lemmy federation. And yet the top comment (and replies to my comment) is going on as if this post is about Substack, almost as if it was written by a technology that cannot understand context.

+1 for this recommendation. Gnome is going to feel more familiar to a MacOS user and Silverblue is very resilient.

The LinkedIn-styled writing here is hard for me to get through, but I think the general gist is that for profit platforms are easier to onboard which I agree with. This line stands out:

And what do we get in return? A worse experience than cloud-based services.

I have to disagree somewhat, it’s a different experience that is absolutely more difficult in many ways, but for those of us who value privacy, control over our data, and don’t like ads, the trade-off is worth it. Also it goes without saying that the usability of selfhosted apps has exploded in the past few years and it will likely become less and less of an issue.

Fortunately “groupthink” on the fediverse isn’t a structural problem since nobody controls all instances and every instance has different moderation styles.
