Yay Lemmy.world, you kicked yourself in the dick, congrats.

Dude I was away on vacation chill. :-)

Ah cool I didn’t know that, thank you!

You gotta be registered on an instance that allows users to create them, I think Lemmy.world does. Alternatively can ask the admins at your instance (or another one) to make one for you and they might.

Also try to use the Container feature in Firefox. I have acting Google all contained in one subset for example, so none of their tabs gets a view on my other tabs.

Where can I buy Lemmycoin, getting FOMO here.

Hmm that’s an impressive development! I’ll subscribe to your world news sub to give it a try. It’s heavy on UK sources and Al Jazeera, which is ok by me but what’s the makeup of your feed derived from? Can you share the method so others could do our own?

Their community link for World News if it saves you a click: !news_world@lemmy.link

I just upvoted you from Memmy on Lemmy, it’s nice!

Absolutely, very vigilant. I want nothing from the bad corps. and especially just here. Though I use some things from some of them, try to keep it minimal.

Yeah, but if they flood the fediverse with their P92 Twitter killer they’ll try to own the whole space, overwhelm it and warp it to their own ends.

Aye great read and very illuminating. We gotta protect the fediverse from corporate insidious destruction. This quote stood out to me:

And because there were far more Google talk users than “true XMPP” users, there was little room for “not caring about Google talk users”. Newcomers discovering XMPP and not being Google talk users themselves had very frustrating experience because most of their contact were Google Talk users. They thought they could communicate easily with them but it was basically a degraded version of what they had while using Google talk itself. A typical XMPP roster was mainly composed of Google Talk users with a few geeks.

In 2013, Google realised that most XMPP interactions were between Google Talk users anyway. They didn’t care about respecting a protocol they were not 100% in control. So they pulled the plug and announced they would not be federated anymore. And started a long quest to create a messenger, starting with Hangout (which was followed by Allo, Duo. I lost count after that).

Love it! Keep it coming

From what I read, they understand everything perfectly well.

Crappily malicious username you have there, are you the baddie?

Oh this is when their lawyers turn around and point out they were doing some kind of scientific “research” on behalf of someone’s pet charity organization so it’s all exempt and they pay zero.

All I can say is Slavi Ukraine! Stay strong and I hope you persevere.

Being cheap is how you become a billionaire sometimes.

Could they also use Seth Myers please? He, of the famed Corrections and target of the Jackals attention is also a worthy public figure.

Yay Firefox! Will sub

She’s going to take away your tendies, best be good!
