Thanks for the reply and stating your position. I’d understand deletion if you were served a legal notice for a post/comments.

Btw, that user has also requested deletion of [email protected] on lemm.ee and it is in consideration. If this is the reason for your switch, I’d wait for their action.

How can anyone run a Plex server on their work machine? And why doesn’t their IT dept monitor their devices?

I see episodes for all seasons on Streamio Android. For season 1 and 2, there are no streams though

Love it. Question: Does Photon not support opening communities link within the web app? When I click on the Photon community link in the post, it takes me to the instance lemmy.xylight.dev page

Off topic question, I’m trying to learn about seedboxes: Do you have to configure your own VPN with your current seed box or is it not necessary?

It doesn’t support Android Auto, right? That’s what’s holding me back from installing it.

I share your experience but unfortunately don’t have answers

I was facing issues with lemmy.world too, now seems to be okay

That seems as a weird decision by Firefox considering their relatively privacy focused image.

Streamio with Torrentio add on + a Debrid service is all you need.

I wasn’t aware of PGP, thanks for that info!

The article was a nice read. I’m surprised that there is either no awareness or discussion in the privacy conscious tech crowd over here on the lack of privacy from anonymous bad actors. Everyone seems to only care about Meta, who are bad, but the most they will do with our data is advertise to us. The other bad actors enabled by ActivityPub can actually doxx, redistribute, save our posts, messages.

It’s usually the water that makes people sick. When people from third world countries move to first world countries and live there for a couple of years, they will get sick too when they revisit their home country.

Yes, I agree that we can’t let them dictate the pace. Let me try to express my thoughts more clearly. Couldn’t we have something like The Linux Foundation for Fediverse? It has many corporate members including Google, Microsoft.

Some corporations can be partners to a ActivityPub foundation and contribute to the codebase of the protocol. The foundation itself needs to be independent to steer the features and technical direction according to the Fediverse principles.

As you said just because this is mostly run by volunteers, it need not be an inferior product. But some thought on what I said above might make it something that is adopted by the general populace as well.

It seems likely that some instances will federate and others will not. I think eventually, many people who hate Meta might move to the instances that federated with Meta, just so that they can find people on their social graph.

I’m afraid, that’s when silo of the defederated instances will become echo chambers, especially if they do second order blocking as some have threatened to do with mastodon.social

They can already do it by running a simple web scraper or running an anonymous instance that federates with everyone in disguise

I have the same thoughts as you. The advertising seems something like what r/theonion might have.
