  • Don’t talk about the high concept of federation, talk about the community that the different services offer.

    The classic misstake is to oversell and miss the point that the other party is focusing on.

    Don’t: “Lemmy is so awesome, it can’t be shut down, it is federated, you can even run your own instance and have total control”

    What the other party hears: “Lemmy is awesome, and you have to do a lot of stuff to join.”

    Do: “Hey, have you heard about Lemmy? It is a Reddit clone with a much calmer community, I have had a lot of interesting conversations over there”

    This puts the focus on the community rather than the service, people join social networks for the interaction, not the tech.














  • So you are not using Firefox?

    If you actually are using Firefox, you need to provide more information.

    What kind of computer are you running?

    What operating system and version are you running?

    What version of Firefox are you running?

    When did the behavior start?

    What have you tried to resolve it?

    I am an IT technician, I am no speciallst on Firefox or even web browsers, but I will give you a free tip, try a reinstall of Firefox, and if you are on a different browser based on Firefox, get the real version of Firefox, then you can compare the two.


  • Yeah, that is my take as well, at first I thought it was completely useless just like the old Facebook posts with users posting a legaliese sounding text on their profile trying to reclaim rights that they signed away when joining facebook, but here it is possible that they are running their own instance so there is no unified EULA, which gives the license thing a bit more credibillity.

    But as you say, bots will just ignore the links, and no single person would stand a chance against big AI with their legal teams, and even if they won the AI would still have been trained on their data, and they would get a pittance at most.
