In other words, your post may still be visible on, say, a linked Mastodon server, even if you decide to delete it with Threads.

“I think this is a downside of the protocol that we use today, but I think it’s important to let people know that if you post something and another server grabs a copy, we can’t necessarily enforce it,” Cottle says.

… it’s not a downside of the protocol, it’s just a literal impossibility. Once someone’s downloaded something, you can’t do a thing to take it back.

As did Pleroma and several other fedi servers — that’s not really innovation, it’s something simple that Mastodon devs deliberately avoided implementing.

The best I can think of would be tmux/screen with khal running in a pane beside todoman; sorry. :o

For calendar, I use khal, which offers a TUI (ikhal command) and a non-captive UI that can print a simple list like you might want (khal command). It supports multiple calendars, ical, recurring events, etc. Since it support ical, you can add locations, times, dates, alarms, pretty much anything you want. No database required, each event is saved into a seperate ical file (easy to import into another program, if you wanna switch someday).

I also use todoman for to-do lists, which is pretty similar to khal in terms of interface — having both a captive TUI and a non-captive UI.

I realize this doesn’t interest you, but as a side-note: Both of these use portable file-formats that can be synced with any pretty much any calendar-syncing service using vdirsyncer, which I use to sync my events and todo-lists and address book using Posteo.

For somewhat larger projects, I think the OS Haiku is a perfect example. It isn’t a benevolent dictatorship, there is no single leader — there are just long-time contributors. If you send in contributions substantive or regular enough, there’s a good chance you’ll get push access. Patches generally are accepted with open arms, and devs with push access give constructive criticism on patches kindly. The OS is better for it!

Better yet, check out NewPipe on F-Droid. :^)

You’re so consistent on the She-ra memes lately, OP, I hecking love it :P

It’ll try to render it, even if just as markup (like if you try using and Latex markup for math).

Just as dangerous to connect a random number generator to nukes. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

The federation with Mastodon is mostly one-way: We can’t see or comment on Mastodon posts, but Mastodon users can see and comment on Lemmy posts.

Mastodon’s like Twitter… its posts wouldn’t fit in the Lemmy UI well. Though I hear kbin works well with both Mastodon-style and Lemmy-style posts.

I can hear the Luma eating, what a nice little jingle.

A community-driven hyper-hackable text-editor

Ah, so it’s Emacs :^)

Matrix (with its main client Element) is probably the most popular Discord competitor right now. It’s libre and federated, just like Lemmy!

Thanks!

Would you mind sharing the link/author of the extension? I tried searching on Firefox’es site, but only found spammy-looking unrelated add-ons.

I’ve been wondering about this, too! It might be nice for hash-tags to somehow be invisible to Lemmy (so as to not be intrusive or annoying), but visible during federation to non-Lemmy/Kbin servers? Without hash-tags, discoverability of Lemmy posts on Mastodon & friends is pretty much DOA, unless they’re actively sought out.

Missed the chance for the title “There will never be a second Second Life,” real shame.

Your redirect idea would probably work excellently as a browser extension — there are are redirect extensions like that for Mastodon already, actually.

As for the domain… the only thing I can think of would be, like you said, a Lemmy instance.

If you’re moving primarily files, I’d probably use Synthing, which is easy to set up for several devices and is really good at syncing files. If you need to be sending messages like a chat, then you might have some luck with Berty, which can work over local Wi-Fi or Bluetooth; though it is in beta.

From what I understand, opening a port isn’t a risk in and of itself — it’s only a risk if the software using the port is insecure! So long as you use reliable software and take care to configure things properly (following through with instructions from a site like ArchWiki or the official documentation helps), you’re good.

CloudFlare is more for DDOS protection, which you almost certainly don’t need . You could always set up DDOS protection later on, if the need ever arises.
