🤔 :fediverse: :mastodon_oops: Zastanawiam się, czy fenomen niezwykłej łagodności #Fediwersum (w porównaniu z Twitterem, Facebookiem itd.) nie bierze się z czegoś całkiem innego niż się powszechnie uważa. Ludzie mówią: tu nie ma algorytmów, za pomocą których BigTechy manipulują emocjami ludzi, dlatego ludzie w #Fedi są milsi, mniej konfliktowi, bardziej pomocni itd. A czy nie jest tak, że o tym decyduje po prostu
b i o l o g i a ? 🍃
Skoro ponad połowę użytkowników stanowią osoby po czterdziestce, to czy sam ten fakt nie sprawia, że w atmosferze jest mniej testosteronu, gówniarstwa, fochów itp. przedszkolnych zachowań?
This is not an attempt to convert Lemmy users, nor is it a slight on Lemmy. I'm sure there are plenty of reasons why Lemmy works better for some, and I love the fact that we not only have multiple choices, but multiple choices that allow us to interact with each other regardless! It's amazing. Lemmy is great, no shade....
All this conversation about #Meta on #Fedi feels like the worst parts of geek culture. So technical, without understanding context or what strikes can actually do. My thoughts:
Meta will make a great app for Fedi because it has more money to throw at the task. People will start using that because it's better. It will have QTs and an algorithm. People they want to follow will be there.
A year ago I started a little personal #Fedi project to every week share #newRelease music + a variety of other tracks from all sorts of eras & genres too.
I called it #BearTracks for my own humour & just to sort of see what I was doing.
It's over 500 tracks now. Lots of good music, quite a bit you might not have heard.
Feedback is extremely welcome. This is a loving document, it can only be honed and get better with loving input from other users. What are your best tips for #creators?
I have closed my public instance, finecity.social, binned my account there and moved back to mastodon.social. My bots will keep running on calckey.bloonface.com but I won't use that site for anything else any more.
I have fallen out of love with #Mastodon and #fedi in a big way, I don't intend to use it much any more. The past couple of weeks has crystallised that this isn't really a platform I like much.
so, I learned that #threads can not only get your posts, even if you blocked them (via different servers that didn't and that store your posts cus people there may follow you or interact with you), they can also monetize those posts by showing ads next to them. Thus making money off of you. Put that together with all the genocidal and fascist and other harmful activity. It makes me think that the #enshittification of the #fedi has begun. The cycles seem to move faster and faster. I love it here and I've had many elightening convos and beautiful connections. Today I read that 41% of servers have blocked threads. Maybe there is still hope.
Esp. the neurodivergent community on here is the best I've ever experienced. @actuallyautistic
No i fajnie - widziałem rano, że w nocy ludzie rejestrowali się na mastodon.social i byli informowani z góry o tym, że są problemy z obciążeniem. Świetny początek dla tych osób.
Kurcze, żeby Eugen chociaż przygotował kilka instancji i proponował domyślnie je według jakiegoś round robina, to by już dużo zmieniło.
Każda osoba na instancji #mastodon Pol.social ma konto #matrix na serwerze Pol.social
Logowanie do Matrixa odbywa się przez połączony profil Mastodona.
Prościej nie potrafiliśmy tego zrobić :)
Więc posiadając konto na #polsocial wystarczy wejść na https://chat.pol.social i zalogować się przez profil mastodon Pol.social.
(Uwaga, inne formy logowania nie działają!)
Instead of being screamed at for attention by "influencers" (whatever THAT means), here on Mastodon/the fedi, I have great, regular conversations with REAL PEOPLE (that's the key here! REAL people!) about music, TV, science, and tech stuff, and I see art and photos of animals and things in space. It's just nice.
Does anyone have a very detailed and comprehensive guide on how to scale up a Mastodon server?
I'm pretty noobish to Linux but I can follow guides if they have commands and stuff. Though, the only guides I could find were very light on the commands for certain steps.
My Sidekiq has been getting backed up every now and then with thousands of jobs. Of course they eventually clear out but I'd like to just mitigate it by adding more processes or whatever because I'm not even using 50% of my server resources🤷♂️
Any help would be much appreciated.
PS. My server is currently backed up so if you reply to this, I probably won't see it for a bit.😬
"Few times I post on exTwitter it's to advertise the #Fedi as a general rule." @ArtBear To be honest, if someone stayed on Twitter until it became X Twitter, they have been exposed to Nazis and Toxic content to long, to be valuable here. I'd rather they didn't come here. All the people rightfully offended, who came here for #TwitterMigration last year, had principles IMO. I kept my account to prevent name stealing and impersonation. I don't even look at it, I don't have an app either; no value
HIGHLY recommend Fediblock for user '@MKULTRADiamond' as they're tagging random users and spamming porn with no CW. Receipts attached in the screenshot.
Edit: The whole instance is Freeze Peach. Toss it in the trash.
Nie chcę pingać grup na gupikach bo to w sumie offtopic, ale skoro „dzięki redditowemu fuckupowi” #lemmy i #kbin wleźli w internet cali na biało może właściwym byłoby przeniesienie się tam?
Raz, że część grup już jest, dwa, że lądują tam (znów dzięki Ci reddit) ludzie których w #fedi nie było.
No chyba, że niewłaściwie rozkminiam czym są „magazyny” na karabinie, ale wtedy uprzejmie proszę mnie naprostować, najlepiej zanim zbiorę ewentualny OPR za spamowanie np. rower@karab.in ;-)
Apparently not many people believe me when I say that "normal" users using the "block this domain" option, is functionally just a mute....
There's gonna be LOTS of very mad people when they find out for themselves that meta/Threads can still see their posts....😬🤦♂️
To actually block Threads, you have to be on an instance that actually blocks them. As of right now, the biggest instance that blocks Threads is masto.to
So all this talk most of you are doing, means absolutely nothing because the majority of you are still federated....
Użytkownicy #Fediwersum dzielą się na dwa obozy: obóz "Twitter 2.0" i obóz "Małe społeczności".
Pierwszy z nich ceni sobie komunikację pomiędzy różnymi instancjami i oprogramowaniem, zapewniające jak największą docieralność do użytkowników. Drugi obóz stawia na korzystanie z kontroli, na którą pozwala federacyjność - dzięki czemu może zapewnić użytkownikom małych społeczności komfort i poczucie bezpieczeństwa niedostępne na wielkich platformach społecznościowych. Ten podział stoi u podstaw kontrowersji nt. współpracy i komunikacji #Fedi z #Facebookiem.
YSK that a lot of common questions/complaints about Lemmy are presently answered by kbin
