@remington was about time. Thankfully, no one died despite the far right triad’s efforts (AUR, SOS and POT parties) to slow things down. Fuck Russian aggression and Putler in particular.

Hello from Friendica.

How do you feel the platform performs compared to corporate ones?

As a user, I think it still has some way to go to reach parity with Facebook, and some features likely could be impossible to implement as they require tracking and gathering user data en-masse (imo). But it still got a thing or two in its sleeves, and those things also keep me here too, besides the federation, freedom and privacy ones.

For example, I just discovered I can send my posts on email as well to whatever person I want, which makes the whole thing highly usable even if people aren’t there.

There are some bugs that might put people off, and Friendica as a platform might seem to have a higher learning curve too (I really got into it after watching some videos on yt), but this is with all the Fediverse platforms I guess? idk

How do you feel moderation is handled?

I never did moderation for it.

Do you believe the people of Beehaw (admins, moderators and users) could do a better job? If so, then why?

I don’t know tbh 😁

I think UI wise, as being an alternative to Facebook, Friendica is possibly the best Fediverse platform out there, not only are the features and the capabilities (text formatting pretty much everywhere, a calendar with events, RSS feeds straight into your main feed, plugin options etc.), but it just makes it easier to tell if a post that I’m seeing is a top-level or just a comment, if it’s from a group or just posted by a person etc.

My advice would be to try it and see what it is up to. The admin of lemmy.world (and also mastodon.world) also set up an instance on friendica.world, and it quickly became pretty much the no. 1 Friendica instance. 😁

Plus, the devs of the platform are very open to suggestions and provide very comprehensive reasons if they reject a certain feature request.

@remington The way it should be

I’m using them as Christmas tree decorations, but you can use them in multiple ways. You can hang them by a string, you can spray paint them and/or put them in a terrarium, etc.

It was unreliable on my potato computer and with the speeds of back then for me, but I remember that pretty much all of my friends used it. I had to use my mum’s computer to join in lol.

I think they do provide torrents for the stuff they have available to download already. So we know what to do *wink*!

*sigh* I was woried

Jokes aside, I am quite afraid though.

@Gunk Catima

Damn, only the 2nd? There’s room for improvement /s

@jagged_circle You don’t install a Bluesky instance, rather you host your own PDS, or your own web client, or the feed part. It’s all a mess and the latter has very high system requirements for one to self-host from what I understood. Basically, it’s impossible if you’re not a company with the willing and the money to do it.

If decentralization actually happens on Bluesky, it will be more confusing for the average person than with something like Mastodon.

@remington

@remington Gee, I wonder which nazi politician is on that list again. Place your bids before you dig in! 😁

@knokelmaat Happy birthday! 🥳 I’m also trying to make the most out of it. Yesterday I just got my salary and I ate a nice juicy burger in a restaurant I planned to go to for a long time. Was delicious!

@PerfectDark Nonsense is my cup of tea when I get bored, so it’s a perfect fit for me, haha.

Friendica is also cool, do check it out when you can. Once you’ll get the hang of it, you’ll love it 😁

@PerfectDark This is a fantastic series of posts. Highly informative and really fun to read and follow through. Your Mastodon also seems like a hidden gem, with lots of cool stuff. Just gave you a follow from Friendica 😁

Keep it up! 👍

@remington All I hope for the world after this is to get its shit together and form some world trade system with as little US as possible in it (no offense to you or anyone living in the US); or that the next presidents will realize what shitshow this makes

@dogerwaul They’ll probably just brand it as a sales platform and not care about sellers anymore. They’ll get some cut from every sale, and along with the ad business they’ll have lots of profit.

@coldsideofyourpillow No worries, thank you!

for Windows 10

Thank God. I was afraid because I use OneNote for work.

@SmokeyDope thank you!

You can find good stardicts of just about every dictionary on the internet if you look hard enough

I’m just amazed by this. Can you point me to some of the more common places where one could start? I could really use some new dictionaries 😁
