  • What's the best chat to self host?

    Jump

  • XMPP, but also Delta Chat! The Webxdc apps for Delta work in XMPP client Cheogram despite there being no cross-compatibility between the networks. It can access ordinary email servers so long as they were not set up maliciously (Apple, M$, Gmail, etc). It can do a couple things XMPP cannot, but it's not suitable for anyone outside close friends and family. I basically only use it for email, automation, and other personal matters. XMPP is for general use and can replace Discord. The Movim project looks very cool they have a community here also join their XMPP chat. Cheogram services can connect to the regular phone network.

  • It is a good implementation of RPG mechanics. The worldbuilding setpieces were fun to engage with. The writing is insufferable.

  • I'm interested in setting up a misskey instance, and have questions.

  • Ask in the Sharkey Discord (sorry that's the only place they are) if any better forks have arisen than Sharkey yet. They'll be frank

  • What exactly have these members of Israeli parliament ever done other than try to display moral superiority while living the same as the rest?

  • They're just in browser at the moment, but it's very flexible since you can login to instances with XMPP accounts elsewhere. It's under pretty active development although TBQH I find the Povoq guy difficult 😂

  • Russia ready for 'hot confrontation' with Europe at any moment, German intelligence head warns

    Jump

  • They are doing fine, they maintain a large reserve, 3 times larger reserves of diesel and crude, 22% of refineries sit idle normally, and the drone attacks penetrating are causing inconsistent damage, at most shutting places down for a week or two. Gas tank explosions look big, but it's apparently not hard to fix. Who knew refineries planned for fuel accidents? I digress. Friend of mine just did a detailed breakdown of what exactly the damage being done to Russia's gasoline refinement is, what the reserves are, and what escalation options Russia has postponed until now. You should be concerned about the ability to keep trading blows like this. I know you love watching Ukraine getting fucked up, but I hate seeing good infrastructure go to waste. They waited to start hitting gas infrastructure until January, remember that. There was a real hope the rail and pipelines might keep flowing to Europe.

  • Because you advocate for ineffectual solutions against brutal violence. You want to know a fun fact about Gandhi? He offered medical assistance to the soldiers of the British Empire. Pacifism in the face of evil is bad enough, but browbeating people and sucking all the air out of the room with disgusting antics is complicity. Don't bother trying to hide it, because the double standards of when liberals choose to roll over and show their belly and when they hiss and scratch is pretty goddamn clear!

  • You know if Movim really takes off I admit that would be amazing because it's like a hardened facebook. Public photo albums are important to people

  • I try to get people to add me on musicbrainz and link up music services to it. It's cool bc you can funnel music player program listens, funkwhale (which is activitypub!), scloud, spotify, yt music, apple, all of their ʜᴏᴛ ɢᴀʀʙᴀɢᴇ right, but it still works with open source shit. It can absorb lastfm which a lot of ppl have hanging around. None of this solves the reality of being at an information disadvantage vs someone who plays weird games with IG likes. But are people like that worth the stress anyways??

    But if you get each other's music recs and can dm realistically what else do you need? Am i boring? Lol

  • If you avoid technical stuff a lot of people are pretty understanding of not having socials. Instagrsm ks HITLER NOW! Everyone jokes abt it. Way I do it is I just post hiking photos on Insta and other stuff. In order to avoid booting it up yourself, it can be automated with IFTTT (proprietary but so are the datamining services you use it to reach so who care??). Problem is being responsive to notifs but I just check half of them every other day so people don't think you died and hit like

  • The highlighted division and factions of Lemmy.

    Jump

  • Hey, I don't speak for anyone here, but this isn't a problem. Decentralization is a means to an end, not a desirable state in and of itself. Federated networks being separate from each other is fine. I feel this has been a critical misunderstanding among advocates of open source social media.

    Honestly, best experiences I have had on ActivityPub were replacements for a group chat of 40-200 persons, not an attempted replacement for Twitter. (Also crucially not on a Mastodon fork but stuff like Akkoma.)

    Since this app is clearly for some people a replacement for the general mechanics of websites like Stack Overflow, HN, and Reddit, and for other people meant to be a direct fork of specific Reddit communities, it makes sense to me that the networks would diverge completely, though it seems it hasn't happened yet.

    What really kept me from using Lemmy is the poor integration with Mastodon. It's not a UI thing. Mbin and Kbin were a step in the wrong direction by furthrt splitting the UI between two types of posts that are the same under the hood

  • The whol eXMPP ecosystem is really confusing I just strongly disagree that matrix is a step forward. On the subject of its backups, I had multiple mysterious failures with matrix it before switching to XMPP. I use a password manager so the likelihood of user error is low

  • Not a real thing, you just have high bodyfat and poor eye contact skills. Hope this helps
