  • Is there already a Fediverse compatibility matrix?

    Jump

  • Hmm, that's close, but not quite. I'm testing to find out what's confirmed to work and not work between each pair of platforms, not what features are supported on each.

    Ex. Lemmy and GoToSocial both support following, posting, and replying, and you can do all of them from other platforms like Mastodon...but they can't interact properly with each other yet.

    I'm collecting that sort of thing and reporting bugs to each project as I find them.

  • It's standard boilerplate lawyerspeak for "You allow us to show other people your content." You'll find the same thing on just about any commercial site with user-supplied content, where they want to avoid getting sued for copyright infringement by their users.

  • "The Twitter Files" is a series of cherry-picked internal documents that Musk gave to hand-picked sympathetic journalists (including Matt Taibbi) who then portrayed things like an extensive internal debate over whether to ban Trump after his supporters tried to stop the official count of the election he lost as, somehow, evidence of arbitrary liberal censorship, or the Biden campaign (which was not part of the government at the time) asking Twitter to take down posts containing revenge porn as, somehow, an example of government censorship, getting organizations mixed up and at one point even claiming that 22 million tweets were flagged for takedown by one organization, when the real number was only about 3,000 and they weren't flagged for takedown, only for review, and Twitter left most of them up.

    Techdirt has a whole series of posts pointing out the flaws in the claims. This one's a good place to start: https://www.techdirt.com/2023/04/07/mehdi-hasan-dismantles-the-entire-foundation-of-the-twitter-files-as-matt-taibbi-stumbles-to-defend-it/

  • Sorry, I just can't take seriously someone who actually takes the Musk/Taibbi spin on the Twitter Files at face value.

  • So Google is now preventing people from removing location data from photos taken with Pixel phones.

  • Looks like even more brands are going to vanish from Twitter soon.

  • I'm reminded of the phrase about someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing, except he doesn't seem to have any sense for effective price points either.

    Or maybe he does -- I still can't make up my mind as to where his Twitter approach falls on the malice/incompetence spectrum.

  • Pinterest I get, it's all about images, or the gaming sites ... but for Reddit, a primarily text based collection of links and comments, to use that much energy takes some serious effort.

    Of course you can see that effort just by trying to take a quick look at one thread, and seeing everything else it pulls into the page.

  • What do you use to donate to OSS projects?

    Jump

  • I use LiberaPay and OpenCollective more or less interchangeably, depending on which one the project mentions on their own site.
