• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kemchup⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Imo we should go a step up from that:

  Communities should define their own categories, and identify certain categories as CW.
  Then clients could opt to auto-hide/blur those categories, and provide per-category overrides.

  Last time I tried to post something, using voyager, I didn’t even see the option to flag as NSFW, idk if it’s community specific or if this client simply doesn’t support it.

  Imo this is a failing of Lemmy itself. There needs to be a way to tag content under certain (community-specific?) categories, without needing to put a bunch of shit in the title.

  3. Imo providing high density housing is less evil than leaching off people to fund your retirement, building for building.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re being intentionally obstinate. You keep implying that you can’t host your own relay, to which many PDSs (that also link to other relays) can’t exist.

  With bluesky, people choose what federations to join by selecting which relays their PDSs will join.

  The analogy of geopolitical federation is cute, but that’s an analogy, it’s not actually what federation is when talking about technology. You seem upset that bluesky achieves federation with a different architecture, and idk why you’d be upset about that, or even care

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not Fediverse™ because it’s not activitypub.
  But that doesn’t make it not federated

  Just because it uses a different mechanism to achieve federation you’re going to say that it doesn’t count as federation? That’s wild.

  PDSs get federated by relays.
  You can have multiple relays which means you have multiple federations. This is similar to how the Fediverse ends up with pockets completely defederated from each other.
  Except that a PDS can be in multiple relays (federations) which the Fediverse can’t do.

  You’re right that currently there is no meaningful federation because there is only one relay, and it’s a problem that the cost is so prohibitive. But to say that it isn’t a Fediverse is kinda disingenuous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think so?

  But a single PDSs can talk to multiple relays.
  And I think an app view can talk to multiple relays (or at least switch between them)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When you see signs like this you know all is lost⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I see this as an absolute win

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s not quite true afact.

  There are 3 types of servers:

  1. Personal data server (actually hosts your post)
  2. Relay (aggregates posts from all PDSs, responsible for federation of PDSs)
  3. App views (generates feeds from the relay)

  Bluesky hosts the only relay I’m aware of, because relays are very expensive to host. But afaict anyone can host a relay.

  So if we’re to describe it:
  PDSs are nations states
  Relays are the federation of those nation states App views are like the ambassadors of the federation.

  Except that PDSs can be part of multiple federations, and app views can be ambassadors for multiple federations. Ok not a great analogy.

  I imagine they’re dual booting.

  if they already have a copy of the OS anyways, I totally get it. If you have the resources to play the game you wanna play, any would you intentionally deprive yourself of that?

  But yeah, bringing all that to the hospital is fuckin nuts. God I hope that his wife is a huge nerd too and that this was like a joke between them and he didn’t actually use it during active labor or after the baby was born.
