They literally all run the same program, lemmy.
This is so stupid. I love it!
What's worse is that they're all missing the hyphen.
Honestly, by now I've come to hate games where you can't figure out how to play them from the game itself. It seems like nowadays you can't play without a whole community figuring out what's currently the meta way to play.
It's dependant on cookies. If whatever you checked that on deletes its cookies it can't remember the "device". The wording is all wrong but I guess they have to do that because plebs don't know that this is running in a browser.
My counterpoint is that you have to use WhatsApp (I rather use Signal) because iMessage is Apple only. SMS and RCS are stupid. With Signal you can reach users of all devices. Having a messaging protocol that depends on the device used is stupid. And hopefully the EU can end the vendor lock in with messaging apps as well.
You can see the exact post date in the nerd stuff. It's 2020-10-25. For some reason it appeared in Hot on my instance. And it looks like it did for others as well.
Well, at least OP is finally getting some answers.
Wait, did I just reply to a three years old post?
That's basically what Facebook is doing with Mastodon at the moment. And I think the consensus is that nobody wants to federate with Facebook.
FOSS does not exclude corporate interests. Most contributions to the Linux kernel for instance come from corporations, including Microsoft.
Edit: Also see Facebook entering the Fediverse soon. Their frontend JavaScript library is also open sourced by them. Their backend PHP version as well.
I'm mostly waiting for marking posts as read as you scroll by and hiding read posts (but only in your feed). I think this is especially important with the federated content that might come in later than when I "scrolled past" the point in time it would appear in my feed.
OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I like it for being a rolling release with quality control. On the one hand I don't like its restrictive defaults but on the other hand I know enough to work with them and that's given me a leaner system.
