That impressive then. I don't know.

Can you Boost, favorite, mention, or direct message them? No not really. It's a very limited subset of the Mastodon experience. They have vastly different feature sets, mostly without corresponding analogs. That's not remotely what I would call seamless.

Or maybe it literally is seamless. There are lots of missing and incomplete pieces that would need to be stitched together, but aren't.

The idea that you might want Lemmy and Mastodon to work well together is honestly kind of silly to me.

They are structured and built from the ground up to be entirely different kinds of social platforms. Mastodon is structured around people publishing their thoughts. Fundamentally it's simply a kind of blog network. Lemmy is structured around topics and conversation. It's essentially a forum network. I can't see a way they could blend seamlessly, forget if they should. (They shouldn't)

Yet people managed to run restaurant's, and all manor of other businesses before 1977!
(1977 is when the LLC classification was first created in Wyoming)

None of that is private. It's all readable by anyone with an admin account.
As a general rule. If it's not end to end encrypted, assume it's public.

Since this community has already established that privacy is justified

What does this have to do with privacy?

we need our SSDs to store all our morally rationalized but illicitly obtained copies of content we enjoy

Oh hell no! Spinning HDDs are way cheaper per TB! Absolutely no reason to build a library on SSDs.

we'll have to be modern-day Robin Hoods and shoplift these SSDs, because fuck corporate greed.

I think you missed an important part of the Robin Hood story.

The Carice TC2 looks a good one

the organization documented and reviewed more than a thousand reported instances of Meta removing content and suspending or permanently banning accounts on Facebook and Instagram.

Does 1000 seem small for an intentional, global, censorship campaign? That seems very small to me. That seems like a rounding error on a days worth of reported posts.

They don't care about the user base we have today. They want to eliminate the potential user base we may have in a decade.

[–] Steve@communick.news 1 points 11 months ago

That's what I was thinking of!

Short sighted mistake. Terrible Idea.

~~Adopt, Extend, Destroy~~ Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. That's the game plan. It's worked so many times in the past.
