Discussion
For weeks, millions of people in France have filled the streets in a rebellion that has shaken the ruling order to its core, demonstrating against an economic and political system that is rapidly eroding their future prospects.
Today, they will do it again.

Kann mir nochmal jemand kurz erklären, warum Kühlregale unbedingt ins Internet müssen?
Nennt mich altmodisch, aber früher waren die Dinger auch nicht im Kühlregal und haben trotzdem ganz wunderbar funktioniert.
Indeed, my original notion applies to literally anyone who thinks that Mastodon is dying.
Just fuck off. Please.
Fuck off to Twitter, or Bluesky, or Threads (if Threads is still even a thing).
Fuck off and leave us to enjoy ourselves over here.
Fuck off, and take your refusal to add alt-text to photos with you.
We're perfectly happy chatting amongst ourselves. You're just pissy that people don't kiss your arse as much as they used to over there.
Oh, and you're on .social, which a huge number of servers block because that where so much of the spam comes from, so if you don't get as much interaction as you used to on Twitter, that'll be why.
Just fuck off.
@Withelias great art, happy birthday
@DJDarren Eternal September. Gentrification. Enterprisification.
When you chase mainstream validation, the thing that made you interesting to begin with goes out the back door into the alley to start over while you roll out the red carpet in the front for people who don't actually want what made you interesting to begin with.
And thus Mastodon would stop being an uncoördinated organic collection of coffee shops and turn itself into Starbucks and/or Tim Horton's.
Stay weird, Mastodon.
@SinclairSpeccy Wow. ADSL. That was sheer luxury!
Yes, connected computing goes back a long time.
@paulk Luxury until someone picked up the home phone and the internet dropped out
Woke up feeling strange..
I've been busy dreaming about my participation in a card game competition or social event with colorful cards I do not recognize. My next opponent was presented to me as Lord Ben of the Bread, and upon recognizing his photo in the community communication app Tante (which is Norwegian for Aunt and looked very much like Mastodon), was of course our very own @TheBreadmonkey. When this Scottish (?!) person came over, I shared that I had made this connection. You and your very colorful group of friends, I think you had a hat party going on, had a great time. The venue was great. My husband won the whole thing.
So with that, good morning 🌞
Good morning! Welcome to the hat party. 🎩👒 🧢 🎓 ⛑️

I wish my votes were even more public. If I’ve taken the time to downvote your bullshit/nonsense, I want you to know it was me. Same with upvotes.

zero, it’s on the internet, it:s not “private”

Votes are not private and never will be.
There have been some discussions about whether Threadiverse software should only federate out the number of votes and perhaps some anonymised voter IDs, rather than information that identifies individual users. This would prevent vote snooping via sites like Lemvotes. However, even if something like that were implemented, instance admins would still be able to snoop on their own users if they so wished. So imo, it’s better to just accept that votes are public information.
Personally I don’t see the issue with it. My principle when it comes to voting is upvoting stuff I want others to see and only downvote things I don’t think anyone would want to see (like spam). So if for some odd reason someone is interested enough to check my voting history, I don’t care. What’s the worst that could happen? Someone on the internet disagrees with my votes? Oh no! How will I ever survive?!
As a side note, Lemmy’s developers seem to have a strong opinion that voter information shouldn’t be displayed publicly. For example, here’s an issue they opened in the Mbin repo. While I disagree with their stance on vote visibility, Nutomic has a valid point there: Lemmy doesn’t mark voting activity as public when federating it out, so there’s an argument to be made that other software should not display individual votes coming from Lemmy.

I don't expect much privacy on a shared public space like the fediverse. If I wanted privacy, I'd spin up a new profile every day/week, and use an external bookmark manager to save stuff

How private do you consider your votes in the Threadiverse?
From the technical side anyone can spin up their own Lemmy instance and view all votes, but I'm curious at what the community's perspective on how "private" that is. I think Mbin already shows upvoters? Piefed allows anonymous voting. I also know there are sites which show all voting history, but assuming those are fairly disliked.
My general questions to the community: - Do you expect your votes to be private, or just not shown in the UI? - Would per-voter votes showing up on another aggregator platform bother you, even though your instance already shares them with other servers?
For context I'm the dev doing some two way bridge interop between atproto + Threadiverse, in atproto the votes/likes are generally publicly accessible, you just look at the users repo through something like pdsls.dev, they're readable and archivable by anyone. In my opinion this isn't that big of a problem since it's fairly hard to look at and discern (Ex all my votes: https://pdsls.dev/at://did:plc:lmdkqemqrqnfiix72pyjhfey/social.coves.feed.vote). Ultimately trying to figure out if there's already a mutual understanding that they are public and we can just mirror them or whether they should stay hidden as an aggregate.
@dansup oh, thats great! just because im curious , why couldnt the code be published as is ?
anyways, im very excited for this, cant wait for it to be out !
@fiore Oh it could be published right now, I just want to make a nice readme and install guide, and a lil project website first!
I also want to find some co-maintainers to steward the project going forward, as I have too many other things to focus on and this has outgrown my own personal usage.
@MagisterLudi BBS then GEnie is a solid path. GEnie doesn't get brought up nearly as much as CompuServe or AOL even though it was one of the big ones back then
What started as a personal experiment to get Hyprland working on FreeBSD has become HyprBSD.
FreeBSD 15.1, stock kernel and base system, graphical installer, NVIDIA/AMD/Intel support, Steam gaming and plenty of fixes along the way.
RC2 is now available, with over 200 ISO downloads so far.
@AmyZenunim @sporfk likely so, but I still suspect eliminating poverty to help
@AmyZenunim @sporfk (mostly because eliminating poverty would help to encourage more proactive screening)
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
