    Is there a way I can give out a business or government office phone number? And simply ask to ask them a question? Kind of like call your representative stuff but on lemmy?

  • Maybe they want to be sure people are not up to shady stuff? People let a lot out a lot of clues of intention when face to face.

  • I'm still new to the Fediverse. What are your favorite unique things that your instance does? What do you wish was more widely adopted across instances/federated platforms?

    Jump

  • Only upside I can think of federating with Threads is to try to pull people into the wider fediverse, but indeed it's a major risk that Facebook the company's grip is stronger in case people don't defederate.

  • Closest in other engines afaik are tags, but they are only an

    type of filter, not also an

    one.

  • @speedythefirst@lemmy.zip AT Protocol uses relays instead of direct communication - think two devices talking over bluetooth (ActivityPub) vs talking through the router on a same network (AT Protocol).

    AT Protocol is better for content distribution, but its relay system is more centralized. ActivityPub is better for decentralization, but contents and to a smaller degree servers need to be found first.

    Also there is the Nostrr protocol, but to my knowledge it's dwarfed in comparison to ActivityPub and AT Protocol, is also relay-based, and the only instance that uses it that I know is minds.com, which also uses ActivityPub.

    And talking about instances with multiple protocols used, alternative to bridging through Bridgy Fed, Wafrn uses both AT Protocol and ActivityPub natively, and NeoDB (for cross-posting afaik) and Friendica (for normal use) allow connecting to your Bluesky account if you have one.

  • Mbin has mixed feeds (microblogging + threads), is very responsive to Ublock Origin so I can simulate a better post hiding than Lemmy or Mastodon's, its RSS picks both threads and microblog posts from communities (but thankfully not comments from users, unlike Misskey), and UI has very little visual noise.

  • One could inform and be informed, boycott those that cause problems, support one's local businesses and initiatives, and to always evaluate both to whom something benefits, and what may be the intention behind the intention of a given movement.

  • Soviet Union started planting the seeds of a take-over project, but when it feel, as there's no vacuum in power, mainly China took over, with strong indication of politicians and beureaucrats from other countries being co-opted by them. Then China started taking away the production capacity from other countries and where it couldn't, it would either buy a given country's means of production, put people they could control in key positions, or use other sabotage strategies.

    Technology companies likely fell in either or both of the latter two strategies, as they would show to have deals and aligned strategies with the CCP government. And with people aligned inside, or with the company devalued but still with a perception of relevance, it's easier to take over them.

  • One of the major aspects of communism is centralization. As companies inflate, they take more and more control of the market. And if they have ties with countries with such regimes, which seems to be the case nowadays even if they're distancing themselves now, these regimes can leverage the companies' grip on the market to sabotage it and even the culture, so that what remains are the communistic ideals.

    And if such process involves making a profit, to such project it is just a means to an end, as then by the end, money will have lost all its value.

  • How's this Max Messenger ? Has it got a lot of features ?

  • Yes, though because primary sources don't live much in such places when they pose a risk to a given regime.

  • Iirc, in Russia, companies must have participation of the state. And Russia inherited laws from the Soviet Union, has had autocratic tendencies even between the opening of the SU and Putin coming to power, and has worked with other dictatorships such as China, Cuba and Venezuela's. So it's easy to assume and expect there's state-issued spyware to monitor users.

  • Well, if it's likely to be mandatory wherever you are, may as well take the initiative and install it to test, instead of asking what, by your comment, sounds like a rhetorical question or an ad.

  • Is there any decent PvP FPS that's not infested with cheaters? Looking for a decent PvP FPS

    Jump

  • To my knowledge, only games with private rooms where you know who's entering would be safe from cheaters.

  • Do you think we should have an index of how ethical gaming companies are?

    Jump

  • I'd propose instead a review platform specific to companies, so users can leave their votes and the evaluation average is the company's score. And in that idea, apparently NodeDB NeoDB, which has ActivityPub support, can do. Just yet to test to see how reliable it is, and how it propagates around.
