  • Do bridges make Matrix into Discord, Telegram, Signal, Whatsapp, *gasp* Slack, FB Messenger, imessage, Mattermost, Mumble, *gasp* Google Chat, Instagram, Linkedin, xitter, Skype, SMTP, IRC, KakaoTalk, *heavy gasp* GroupMe, Line, Wechat, Tencent QQ and Jabber/XMPP? Phew. Or does it make entire federation into a 3rd party *insert list again* app, which *insert list except Signal, SMTP and IRC one more time* don’t want and would never tolerate?




  • Alien.top is one-way bridge instance. If you belive(I will not say think because it will be insult to thinking) that it is spam instance, are you sure you understand what fediverse is? It lowers switching cost for reddit users since they can come here, post here, comment here and STILL be able to see content they want to see, but without ads and spyware.

    In easy to understand terms: u r spam.






  • Why would you need all data to build the frontpage? Why not just make a sliding window with the content from the last 24/48h?

    Exactly what I’m saying. To not be super resource-intensive, client-side sorting needs to be incomplete. As I said, if there is hypothetical post from 49 hours ago with 10k upvotes, you will not see it, but you will see one from 48 hours ago with 1k upvotes.

    Even if that were true, how is that different, e.g, from any modern desktop email client?

    Not much I guess(sounds like Thunderbird). But what about mobile?
