This is great news. Algorithm optimized social networks are poison to society.

Nice! I’ll try it out

I’m itching so hard to block both.

Supporting both is in order. As one is pointless without the other

A design that scales. Forwarding every like, post and comment to all federated servers will not scale well.

This looks great! Now do iOS pls

Mastodon exists. It’s pretty good. Using 2 apps is fine.

I write down everything I built so for plus future plans in OneNote. This kind of defeats the purpose of self hosting but I want to keep a written copy complete off site in case if a complete loss. Plus I like OneNote. It’s actually a well designed product. Scripts, docker compose files and such are in GitHub.

That really depends on how you treat the media you download. Is it just a temp buffer that you delete after watching or is it a collection you grow and curate over time.

Fuck Reddit. I’m here now and it’s great.

Quitting Reddit and switching to lemmy - easy. Quitting FB - not possible. I have no other way to keep in touch with remote friends and relatives and there are local FB groups that are useful for me. Dropping Whatsapp also is sadly impossible. With my nerdy friends I use telegram/signal but 99.99% of ppl are available only on WhatsApp.

A pleasure to read. Every time. Thank you for this

Wow that’s a great idea

In retrospect, I’m really glad all of this shit with Reddit happened and lemmy became a thing in my life. Was bummed initially when Apollo died, but now despite needed polish in lemmy apps, the experience here is much much better and I would never go back.

It feels like it is possible to have a conversation here. In Reddit I felt like my comments were getting buried

OP is correct. We have very little to to gain and everything to lose.
