Is this just the inevitable tradeoff of federation?

Not being able to follow someone isn’t a federation problem, it’s an instance mismatch problem.

When you can’t follow the people you want on Twitter (because they were banned), that’s an instance mismatch. Your preferences don’t align with Twitter’s.

The difference is that, with Twitter, there is only one instance. You can’t switch to a different Twitter where those people aren’t blocked.

On Fedi, you can choose an instance that blocks and federates according to your preference. And if you can’t find one (unlikely for most users), you can host your own.

If you just want Piefed instances with less regulation, these appear to have the fewest number of blocks:

• Quokk.au
• Keyboard Vagabond
• Bookwyr.me

It will be interesting to see how the MPAA tackles Hotfile now that they are restricted in the language they can use. It probably means that the term “copyright infringement” will be used more often than they had hoped.

To be continued.

This was written back in 2013. Does anyone know how that shook out?

It’s not theft. It’s copying or copyright infringement.

If it was theft, the owners wouldn’t have it anymore.

The words matter because they change your moral intuition about it.

Haven’t seen Doki mentioned yet. It’s the official successor to Kotatsu.

Kotatsu-Redo is a fork by a new guy. At this stage, they’re basically the same, so I’m waiting it out.

Yea, I don’t think we’ll ever be able to disable that kind of thing.

But this addresses at least one of the main concerns people had with allowing quote-posting.

The update is notable because quote posts have historically fuelled negative behaviour on other platforms, where they are often used for public ridicule or so-called “dunking.” (source)

Authors can limit and disable quoting, both globally on the new Posting Defaults page, and individually on specific posts. Also, when quoted, they can easily revoke the use of their post.

Nice.

Smart collections and gatekeeping.

Plex allows me to set up smart collections and shuffle, so every time I open the app (or refresh it), I have a random short list of shows in my library that I haven’t watched yet.

That, and there was some weird glitch where it would progressively use up more memory on my server until it crashed. I checked the forums and the threads about it were elitist and toxic.

So I figured I’d check back in a few years rather than deal with superusers.

Edit: Someone saw themselves in my comment and didn’t like it.

Am I correct in understanding that migrating Jellyfin migrates only the Jellyfin database and won’t affect my Plex setup or my actual media ?

If the worst that could happen is that the migration fails and I have to start over with a brand new Jellyfin database, I don’t mind since it’s only my secondary media server (for now).

That’s fair.

I did also try directly searching for accounts from loops, i.e. @eickertv@loops.video and Rudygardea@loops.video, and neither of those popped up either.

Seems a bit early to me.

I tried searching for @loops.video users on three separate mastodon instances and the only ones that pop up are the “official” accounts (@dansup@loops.video and @loops.video@loops.video).

Anyone else have better luck federating with loops?

Last I heard from Automattic, they were putting the Fediverse conversion on indefinite hiatus.

Is your news saying they’re starting up again ?

Just to make this abundantly clear, we received a cease & desist against our use of the name ‘Revolt’, we are not releasing any further details as this may cause harassment of the other party and may hurt negotiations.

Damn, that sucks. I wonder who the whiny IP baby is.

I do wish cross-posting between fediverse types (microblogs, link aggregators, image sharing) was as easy as cross-posting within them.

I know it’s technically feasible to comment on a Lemmy post from your mastodon account (at least, that’s what I was told), but it’s not easy or intuitive.

They’d use that money to turn it back into twitter.

That would be useful. I’ll look for it.

Yea, the teeth bit was mean spirited and unnecessary.

I don’t mind sass from leadership. It’s leagues better than sanitized corpo-speak.

Sass doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive from professionalism, but it is a fine line to walk.
