  • Australia’s Social Media Ban Is Isolating Kids With Disabilities—Just Like Critics Warned

  • In your original post you demonstrated an ability to collect a nice pile of links to support your argument. Use that skill to build the opposite argument and see what happens. If your original argument was a good one it should stand up. I've given you a starting point but I'm not going to try to change the mind of an angry person, that's just stupid.

  • I could have linked to the studies individually but I am not your research assistant and owe you nothing.

  • The claim was that there is no evidence. To disprove that all I had to do was find one piece of evidence. I found several with 5 seconds of work. Why are you not putting in that amount of effort? Is it because you are too angry to consider alternative points of view?

  • Where Does Community Live?

    Jump

  • This article is better than most like this in that it at least acknowledges the existence of the threadiverse and even explores some of it's community-related features. Hurrah! But really it equates ActivityPub with just Mastodon, which leads to the conclusion it does. I believe that if they compared Lemmy/PF's ActivtyPub with ATProto the conclusion might have been quite different.

    (Community lives in the heads of the people involved and their feelings of connection to and support for one another. But ok, let's run with the assumption it's a technology / protocol thing...)

  • Is there any limit to the amount of instances to federate with?

    Jump

  • It's complicated.

    You could federate with millions of instances if the people using them are not doing very much. But a handful of instances could theoretically overwhelm the whole network if they had malicious bots spamming like crazy.

    The instance that hosts a community is responsible for sending copies of everything to all following instances, so most of the load is on those instances that host lots of popular communities. All other instances just need to be powerful enough to keep up with what they receive, which is 100x less work.

    So even more important than spreading users out among instances, is spreading communities out among instances. Communities cause most of the load.

  • Defederating Threads

    Jump

  • It doesn't matter, Threads has crippled their ActivityPub implementation so badly that I've never once seen a post from a threads user. Meta gave up on the idea, effectively.

  • No, it's legit. Elena has been tooting and peertubing about the fedi and her self hosting journey for over a year.

  • Very weird. It'd be hard to ignore the reflex to curl up and instead put your feet down.

  • Seach for Threadiverse communities more easily by adding a custom search engine to your browser

    Jump

  • You could probably do something similar with your instance, like https://piefed.ca/communities?search=%25s. Any big instance is going to have 99% of communities already added.

    Jump

  • When the characters are talking about something and say "oh this is like that time when..." and a flashback scene which is just copy and pasted from old footage is used. Then they do this 5 more times in the episode. So annoying and cheap.

  • Ohhh, I get it now. Thanks for spelling it out.

    Sorry for hurting your feelings. I didn't mean to imply your bs detector is broken but I can see how it would come across that way.
