wow this is actually fucked.
a DNS resolver being court-ordered to block a website is way, way, way too far.
we are literally a step away from google chrome or firefox being ordered to disable websites.
this is a new low. i like quad9, and i want to continue using them. i respect them hugely for putting up the fight, and obviously when forced by the court to do something, they have no option but to comply.
but holy SHIT FUCK SONY and spez, of course.
I do, from desktop, mainly as force of habit.
my chosen mobile app, Relay, actually still works, but I am trying to train myself to use Lemmy more.
I just wish the content changed over faster, and there were more comments.
*the correct amount of sugar
if I didn’t go to the gym 4 days a week i would definitely have diabetes
great explanation, the relation to the brand-name platforms really helps. thank you.
can someone explain to me the difference between kbin and Lemmy before we get too far into this and I’m too scared to ask
yep, i’m here now, but i do also have a reddit tab open…
I can’t figure out how to collapse comment threads tho…
there have been some third party audits, as it is open source, and they all came up very positively. I think we can trust them for now…
i found it challenging to understand how to subscribe to communities across instances until i discovered the Home icon in the top right of lemmiverse.net. i wish there was a quick ‘subscribe’ button there that would help you build up your subscriptions fast.
generally, i feel good about it. waiting for a few communities i really enjoyed to pop up- watchexchange and watches are big ones imo.
glad to see two huge F1 communities though!
i’ll join the voices saying this is bad for the fediverse, and bad for users in general. there are LOTS of normie users who are joining threads who will be shut off from learning about all the cool other servers if everyone blocks them. this will mean users who want to interact with them need to sign up on Threads, which is what we don’t want.
what we want is that users on Threads see other servers, learn that they’re better, and migrate over.
don’t block Threads, show them how much better we are.
I dunno man, I recently put Mint onto my Lenovo and… the refinement just isn’t there STILL. dual monitor management isn’t very good, even mouse acceleration doesn’t play well when you go from the touchpad to an external mouse. Sure, many things have improved, but the fit and finish just isn’t even where windows was a decade ago…
