Fediverse@lemmy.world•FediGroups -- helping you share and interact across the Fediverse!English
2·1 day agoYep.
FediGroups works with all the popular server types – Mastodon, Misskey, Firefish, Iceshrimp, Sharkey, Catodon, Friendica
Weird exclusion of all threadiverse server types, there.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•How should Lemmy & Piefed handle voting activity from banned/deleted accounts?English
75·2 days agoWhen banning someone there is the option to remove their content too. It makes sense to include votes in that.

13·2 days agoPieFed can subscribe to peertube channels as if they were communities. https://piefed.social/f/peertube shows some of them.
It’s my fave too. It handles opening files over the network very well and I like the scrolling system on the right.
Featherpad is my alternative when I want something I can paste into on the screen right now as Kate loads a little slowly.

World News@lemmy.world•Supercarrier USS Gerald R. Ford Has Crossed Into The MediterraneanEnglish
6·3 days agoIf it looks like something that could happen again, rather than a one-off fluke, USA would have to change their whole naval doctrine. The strategic arms balance of all countries would need to be reassessed.
Community members pointed out that the indexable flag is enabled by default on many instances, which means that a significant number of accounts with the flag set never made a deliberate choice to be indexed. The flag that’s supposed to signal “this person consents to being searchable” frequently signals “this person’s server admin didn’t change the default”, and on a protocol-level, there is no difference between these two options.
Maybe Mastodon could get the user to set this during onboarding. Then no one can say they didn’t choose.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•How does one go about contacting the admins of a Piefed instance?English
14·4 days agoIn the footer there is ‘About’. That page lists the admins. You can click on their name to view their profile and from there send a PM.
PieFed is fairly straightforward if you already know sysadmin basics or have Yunohost. - https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/INSTALL-docker.md
But for blogging only, you’ll find Ghost or Wordpress with the ActivityPub plugin federate with Mastodon better, which is a bigger audience.

Technology@lemmy.world•Tesla's New Sales Data Is Absolutely BrutalEnglish
14·4 days agoThe Ford Edsel car is widely used as a case study in business schools as an example of a massive fuck up. But Ford sold way more of those cars (118k) than the Cybertruck (maybe 60k?) and USA had half as many people then (and lower car ownership rates).

29·4 days agoHe also had a lot to do with Nostr, early on.
Jack Dorsey, has endorsed and financially supported the development of Nostr by donating approximately $250,000 worth of Bitcoin to the developers of the project in 2023,[13][15] as well as a $10 million cash donation to a Nostr development collective in 2025.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Is there any limit to the amount of instances to federate with?English
3·6 days agoGenerally I think duplication isn’t great because it means people subscribe to all of them and cross-post in all of them. A lot of client apps don’t deal with this well, yet.
I mean just have a community for cats on instance 1 and a community for dogs on instance 2.

3·6 days agoIn your original post you demonstrated an ability to collect a nice pile of links to support your argument. Use that skill to build the opposite argument and see what happens. If your original argument was a good one it should stand up. I’ve given you a starting point but I’m not going to try to change the mind of an angry person, that’s just stupid.
















They need to have some kind of AI safety team, as a fig leaf. But they don’t don’t want it to slow them down so they make sure it’s incompetent and ineffective.
Just a theory.
