That’s the only possible way to make it opt-in. People using other software deserve privacy too

Most people seem to not want to be discoverable with the exception of artists and other people who want to make money, I doubt search will replace hashtags as the primary discovery method
“These are the things you can do to alleviate climate change” That’s still negative. It’s blaming climate change on people instead of corporations and governments, a trend started by bp
Actually, Lemmy already does crossposts, Kbin doesn’t. This user just crossposted their post, and interestingly, they just show up as separate posts to us. I’d think Lemmy would use the protocol’s boost feature, but maybe there’s some limitation that prevents this
Objectively? You’re just used to them. I like the extra screen real estate and they’re much easier on my hands
They’re exploiting the fact people don’t know how it works. They see “https”, they think cops can’t see anything
They are connected (you can boost/retweet Lemmy posts from Mastodon) but use a different API for apps, so they won’t all support it. Kbin supports interacting with both Lemmy and Mastodon, but it’s a different platform so you’re going to have to create a new account
As always, non-profit open-source software gets branded as “complex” for no reason. Mastodon’s maintainer even made mastodon.social a default server so it takes absolutely 0 seconds to get started which was hated by the userbase for the centralization it causes, and it’s still “complex”
It’s great. Number go up mentality is dead, none of Twitter’s features used for toxicity are integrated, actual communities are formed
It says you can contact the moderators if you have any questions right at the bottom.
Try adjusting them on openstreetmap.org/edit, takes a few minutes at most
Huh? OpenStreetMap is pretty bad in the US compared to Europe, where it’s far more detailed than Google Maps will ever be
I use Tutanota’s clients, and enjoy it. Haven’t had any issues, was a great replacement to the unencrypted privacy-invasive Gmail and Google Calendar, sorting to folders has been even more convenient
I guess names making sense matters more to English speakers, but for the vast majority of the world these English names are just nonsensical, so it doesn’t matter that much. Especially since the wider fediverse is largely European, and this service is inspired by the polish Wykop.pl, unlike Reddit, which aimed for a US audience.
Wykop.pl is a direct translation of “Dig out” because it was the local Digg clone, but polish doesn’t have a translation of “I dig that”, for example
Boost when you want a post to be on your profile
Do weird names really matter? People stop paying attention to them and accept them with enough time. “Reddit” is just a funny mispelling
I think it depends on the region (and possibly type of device?)
Haven’t had any issues with GrapheneOS on Pixel
