I am in no way techy, but from what I gather because the posts are federated they are also stored on the other instances as well, so posts are still visible. In the post announcing the shuttering of .ee they specifically mentioned adding a note on your profile to link to your new profile, so people can find your new profile after that shut down. That implies to me that everything not intentionally scrubbed remains open/visible long after the shut down of the original source.

Again, though, not techy, so I may be vocalizing from my posterior

D:

Honest to goodness, it was freaking good. I’m sure the Europeans would absolutely die if they tried it, they’d be so offended we call it cheese, but it was good .

What? I had no idea! I manually migrated my subscriptions over when I switched!

It was hard for me, so I vote everyone must manually do it, for character building or some such bullshit.

We had government cheese in the late 90s and early 00s. Honestly, it was good. I don’t know wtf the difference between gubment cheese and American cheese was, but it was so much better than regular American cheese.

The last one there is my basic philosophy for real life. Magic is real, we just understand it really, really well

I always mention whenever I see libro.fm brought up: if you don’t have a local store you want to support for whatever reasons, Firestorm in Asheville, North Carolina is a fantastic refuge for the local queer community, it’s a worker cooperative, and they’re struggling to survive. Please consider them if there isn’t another local place in your own community. With the big book stores and then Amazon, a lot of communities don’t have a physical local shop anymore, so if someone has a plug for their local, I think it’s worth making on these kinds of threads.

Can you explain to me, an Idiot™, what that would mean for me in practice if I switched? Would I be able to use the play store? What about my bank’s app, or something that uses location, like Grindr?

My guess would be they’re using the all feed? Idk, I’m not one of those people lol

There are folks who just instantly down vote anything 3d printer related, I think it’s a plastic waste thing?

Does it have even fewer words?

Either way, I excitedly anticipate almost understanding the posts! Lol

I could see this being the future of tattoos in general. Most tattoos are designed digitally, or at least go through a digital phase. Load the image and hit print. No more shitty “my artist was drunk that day” posts, which I’m sure are actually rare as hell, but scare so many people off of getting a tattoo.

Basically, it’d take out the human element and make the experience a little shittier, but with a more polished (again, less human) final project… So it fits 100% perfectly in line with everything we do as a society.

I will definitely check that out and try to use it before checking marketplace, but I honestly can’t imagine I’ll find anyone selling anything near me. I’m fairly rural, and even the nearest “city” isn’t exactly a thriving metropolis.

Only ones I use are YouTube and fb marketplace because Craigslist is totally dead here, but it’s from an alt account I’ve never used for anything at all.

Back when Boomer humor was at least a little anti rich/elite

I’m really excited for it. I might actually be able to get my family off Whatsapp because of fuckerberg, but I can’t get them to move twice. I’m debating pushing signal now, or waiting it out for sup

I forgot about spacehey! I made an account and never got around to setting it up. Shame it’s not part of the fediverse, though! Myspace had that part where you could, like, post a random letter or something that wasn’t confined to your friends. I can’t remember what it was called. I just remember Mrs. Abnorman Punkrockwell used to post open letters. Lmao. Anyway, it would be perfect for integrating into Mastodon, and Myspace groups would be perfect for integrating into Lemmy.

Honestly, friendica seems cool, in the same way Facebook seemed cool in the early days, but if we’re remaking social media for the fediverse, can we try to remake Myspace instead?

Explain these ‘dogs’ please

Is Dansup personally building the entire fediverse? I didn’t realize loops was a fedi thing, tbh. Just started noticing it the other day, seems awesome.

Was there every any progress on sup? I’d love to find a way to get my family to ditch whatsapp
