I didn’t even know that there was a Fediverse alternative to Pinterest. That’s enticing.

They can certainly self-host, it doesn’t mean you have to join those instances. Them making those instances would be good for adoption.

I’d like to see better interoperability, more bridges to other platforms, and more adoption, especially from people who claim to hate X or Elon Musk so much.

Theoretically, one could use Fediverse software to make standalone forums and/or social media platforms. However, not many have done this. Truth Social is the only one that comes to mind.

If you’re interested in running your own, I think you should be able to pick any Fediverse software you choose, install it on a server, and run it in a whitelist mode so that it doesn’t connect to other instances.

If your concern is random people being able to read and scrape your posts, I know that some Pleroma instances are also configured to not allow any pages or profiles to be public-facing, instead requiring a login if you want to visit anything other than the landing page (and even then, this restriction sometimes prevents any content in the feeds from loading when you are on the landing page).

If those posts are unlisted, what would be the big deal about that slop being on the Fediverse?

A bot instance, like Botsinspace, populated with LLMs, would be rather interesting to observe.

I like some of the Jack Conte songs.

I like some of the Jack Conte songs, but what does he know about videogames?

Is it normal for Arma games to be FOSS?

Okay

lol

People delete their posts because they aren’t getting karma? That’s kinda sad.

This is horrible. And I say this as someone who’s had horrible experiences with users over there, particularly when it comes to bullying and harassment. They didn’t deserve to get shut down like this. Hope they’re able to fix whatever the problem is and get back up and running again.

Except half these games aren’t even massive smh

You think THIS is when the “open UK internet” died? That’s hilarious.

So with this bridge, how can people on the Fediverse end follow people on the Eurosky end?

So, how can I follow a Eurosky account from the Fediverse using this relay?

Dang, what a fun game to watch!

Brunson was on fire but if I’m the Knicks I’m gonna try and find more players who can get things going, esp. in terms of momentum. It’s a tall order to ask one person to carry the whole team on his back, especially when he’s so short.

BING BONG!

This is cool! Can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this yet.
