It does block them more so than on fedi. When I block someone they can’t see my content nor account, they can’t log out and go see my content. It’s not just filtered, also they have banned accounts and removed content
A lot of people have talked about the possibility of forking Mastodon to get the many improvements their communities need. Making such an effort successful is another discussion entirely.
I get it, Sports Twitter is resilient and still is where the good stuff is. I mostly read and listen to The Athletic. The Threads sports community is solid, sports & tech are the reasons I made a Threads account. NFL Threads is typically lively
It’s been some time since my last update. We’ve just been dealing with some life issues that have impacted development. This isn’t ideal but we use three times as learning opportunities. We’ve been working closely with the development team of ActivityPods and attending weekly meetings with them. We feel it’s important...
I dunno how many here have given it a try yet, or simply don’t ever intend to but are nevertheless a little curious, so I’m putting down some notes here....
Yes, they opened federation a couple months ago and people are running their own PDS. It’s different from Twitter as people can own their identity, it’s only been out a little over a year, give it time dude. Mastodon is 8 years old. Blue sky has custom feeds over 40k of them made by various people, mute lists and block lists that are shareable and abled to be subscribed to, use identities are not tethered to instances, more controls of what they see and don’t see. You have a bunch of liberals and marginalised communities on there enjoying themselves. Why would go to Twitter?
You say that but it’s a one year old play form and protocol, of course it is just Bluesky. The Fediverse existed long before Mastodon and Mastodon is 8 years old, so I don’t get your point. That still doesn’t touch upon the negative to tethering users identity to instances. Many of them have tried Mastodon and it was a poor experience for them. So, it’s not an option. The Fediverse isn’t for everyone and that is absolutely okay. People are hoping to leave and not use Twitter/X, they have good alternatives that suits their needs and that should be celebrated.
They stopped calling it CP. As Porn is typically consensual and is typically what people think of when they think of Porn, they’re not thinking it’s two legal persons where one has not consented. Thus to avoid any confusion or possibility of downplaying its severity they changed the term from CP.
Is it gonna reach anywhere or die out like kbin and the way it is going i would say mbin ? They are also trying to dip toe in the microblogging platform as well and trying to use lemmy clients and that confuses me as they are promising some features lemmy doesn’t have so how would that and the microblogging part work out on...

I was thinking how people are upset at Remake as they feel it deviates too much from og. The creators have said that it will remain true to the original but maybe they weren’t referring to the ideas but to the core themes of og. Seeing Sephiroth introduced so early in FF7R, the whispers, different worlds etc. It got me...
Hahaha no worries. Toilet is one of the best places to read. For sure would love to know your thoughts once you get the chance ☺️ I don’t get those that wanted a 1:1 remake. Some things are dated and a fresh approach is nice.

Okay, that’s fair. I will point that out to the developer as English is not their primary language. But, you can read the very next paragraph in how does ActivityPods solve this to understand the context.
Who said one instance? It’s a pod store by a pod provider, which there will be multiple pod providers. Please go research Solid. Even in the scenario of multiple accounts in multiple instances you don’t own nor control your data. With Solid you get to determine what access and how much access a provider & service has

is there a search engine for the fediverse?
Since big part of the web is drowning in AI junk, including Reddit, is there a good search engine to find answers in the fediverse?
