I mostly used it as a curated home page, with a mix of news (world and local), sports, tech content, gaming content, and of course memes and shitposts.
Just like with #Twitter, I never contributed to it a whole lot. But unlike the bird site, it’s much easier to leave since I didn’t have specific friends there I was following, just groups. And with many of those groups now going dark, there isn’t any value in remaining around any more.
Later today - or maybe tomorrow, I’ll set up a new account on #Kbin and/or #Lemmy and see if I can try to recreate that experience.
Before I delete my account on the snoo site there’s a couple things I’d like to archive - specifically my saved posts, and ideally the list of subreddits I’m subscribed to as well. Does anyone know of an easy way to do this? I posted earlier today about my bad experience with some of the tools I found on Google: https://oldbytes.space/@smallsco/110520484142248866 - hoping someone knows a better way.
@box464 Very into a "how to get verified wizard idea.
And if you already have a #GitHub, #Medium, #Flipboard or #Gravatar account already, I'll be the wizard could just connect the two and give you a greencheck pretty seamlessly.
PixelFed uses the same federation protocol as Mastodon, which means Mastodon users can follow people on PixelFed and vice versa. You can try following a PixelFed account right now such as @Iancylkowski or @JoseMel or @connyduck
You can use PixelFed through a web browser, and there are also free open Android apps like @PixelDroid and FediLab (@apps).
👋 Mastodon ! Aujourd'hui je te fais un tuto sur les interfaces alternatives : des logiciels qui te permettent d'accéder aux contenus des plateformes privatrices en réduisant l'impact environnemental, la surveillance de masse (capture de tes données), la consommation de tes ressources (énergie, bande passante, attention), les conséquences sociétales (éviter d'augmenter les "vues" et la viralité d'un contenu néfaste) et de contourner la censure.
Tu déroules et dans 5 minutes c'est opérationnel 💪

Achieving true space resiliency requires an architectural approach. @torybruno explains how an overarching architecture can be created by blending elements of both PLEO and High Orbit constellations, creating a more resilient space.

I just read a blog post about how and why #Akkoma split from #Pleroma. What scares me is that our divisive human nature was the true culprit behind the free-speech vs FOSS debacle that caused the split. I have written on #Medium about how human nature's divisiveness is dangerous, but I would have never thought it would splinter a software dev team working on a platform for the #fediverse.
