From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

The spam problem is solvable — client-side filtering, reputation systems, and relay curation. The protocol shouldn’t filter; the clients should. That’s the right design.

🤣

Oh wait, you're serious?

🤣🤣🤣

to be fair I didnt like the crypto bs either on nostr - but blocking users/communities on lemmy has made it infinitely better

It doesn't scale. Lemmy is tiny so it's manageable.
