They have consistently voted democrat in the past despite the consistent pro lgbt stance of the dems, the last vote was against the Biden’s support of Israel. and most of those who abstained from voting outnumber those who voted for Trump.

they are the most exceptionalist ellististe agreable and push-over nation in the whole earth. don’t forget they are still a proud monarchy.

Where is Retailleau ?

Retailleau is in the Kitchen.

My understanding is that they want to offer monetized subeditors for content creators and influencers, a mush up between Patreon and onlyfans

my concern is what if after all the hassle the next bank pulls the same act ? and the next one !

they have moved most of the features to the app, the web portal is very bare bone.

very hard to change the bank when alot of payment accounts are linked to it.

they have moved most of the features to the app the web portal is very barebone.

I did, doesn’t change a thing, I have no power to influence what they add into their app

The one thing that I like about the fediverse is that it somehow unintentionally has a filter to keep the low effort people from poisoning the well.

I have been on the fediverse from 2019 and these types of arguments have been floated times and again at each exodus wave. they expect to be offered everything on a silver platter. they come into a new platform maintained by hobbyists and good will people and they expect it to offer the same features, experiences and user base or even better than the once on proprietary media that spend billions of dollars to acquire that user base. they get screwed by one company and hope that another for profit won’t do the same. Lemmy is even easier than email, as you don’t need to know the handle of people of communities you interact with you just search for them or explore the public feed. We don’t need them here.

there are many aspects the fediverse can improve upon. decentralization or federation isn’t one of them

If an instance doesn’t want to grow they turn off new sign-ups, some growth might help instances stay afloat, as not only it might help with more donations, but also signal to the maintainers that there is appreciation for their work.

there is a protocol used by HubZilla called zot, it allows for true nomadic identities. where you can even login to your account from any instance.

I don’t think ActivityPub (Protocol that links all mastodon, Pixelfed, lemmy, peertube instances) developpers have any interests in implementing that, or it isn’t so high in their priorities, also to note that ActivityPub developpment has stagnated since its early releases.

Now the hard part is to get Friendica to integrate it in its base code, and somehow prompt users upon sign-up to choose their user interface !

I understand though that friendica devs might be reluctant to integrate it if they can’t get assurances that this UI project will be maintained into the future.

Capitalize, meaning to translate those new sign-ups into monthly active user, buy doing a better job at exposing the potential of the fediverse and easing up the exploration process of interesting content.

I know about Microsoft patent, I am not sure whether MS does license it to other software makers as it is very wide spread from big companies like Autodesk to smaller ones like NirSoft. I think they just made the patent to camp on it and intimidated big players with it, the opensource OnlyOffice do ship the Ribbon and they haven’t faced any trouble for it so far.

Do you know how many forks of mastodon there are and how many died, because they can’t compete against the network effect of the master project ?

on their website’s roadmap section it says it is planned. I don’t know how much work has been done on that. mean while Mastodon’s userbase is dwindling, and it hasn’t been able to capitalize on the many waves of exodus and twitter controversies for over two years now

That’s an aucorrenct feature that has been shipped with MS Word for as long as I can remember.

MS Word is one of the most used software il the planet, I believe Microsoft has enough data on why the majority of people want that. what I don’t get is why software with smaller userbases think they know better (ie sometimes they do). Or why LibreOffice is so stubborn on keeping the menu bar default instead of the ribbon-bar, I am not inconvenienced by changing it once and for all, but I know many people who ould nope out at first sight and never give LO a second chance ever again .

Reddit power tripping mods migrated en masse to lemmy.world and recreated another Reddit environment there ! glad the fedivere isn’t constrained to big servers. but this is still a big problem to resolve as those mods make it hard to engage in conversations with communities that are solely hosted on their instances.

The fact that mozilla does’t understand what user consent is, is alarming about where they are heading.

What else to expect from a Colonialist Settler Nation ? A colonialist power that has been given nuclear weapons by another colonialist power, to make sure that the colonialist project never dies, yet that have no shame in declaring themselves the inventors of the human rights principals and “Universalism”.
