I will add that many of us who work remotely using publicly accessible wifi also use VPNs, and Imgur actively blocks IPs from multiple commercial VPN providers. If you want those users to see the image you're sharing, Imgur is not the way to go.

Pixelfed works well with other Fediverse services like Kbin and Lemmy. Try hosting there!

They haven't said why. I'm assuming that federation with outside entities would present some logistical problems for them w/r/t their privacy obligations in Europe. If that's right, I suspect the whole ActivityPub thing could be "delayed" indefinitely.

They previously announced that they would federate with ActivityPub, but yesterday we learned that it won't happen for "three months." With all the European regulatory issues and other factors, I'll bet it will be a lot longer than that. In fact, I'd be surprised if we ever see full federation capability.

I scorned the Independent when they reported a few weeks ago that Trump would be indicted "tomorrow." None of the usual journalists in the know confirmed, and plenty of reasonably reliable experts cast doubt on it. And then the next day came, and lo and behold, the indictment was issued.

All this to say, I don't take the report as gospel, but I take it seriously.

Yeah, I posted that to !fediverse@lemmy.ml from my lemmy.ca account. I figured that if the admins aren't answering questions via Matrix or whatever, maybe someone there would have an answer. (So far, nothing more than the same kind of speculation that's happening here.)

 

Canada's grocery business is controlled by large players and needs government assistance to encourage new entrants to bring down prices, a report from Canada's Competition Bureau says.

Apropos of nothing, never forget that it's often better to just block TERFs and transphobes than to engage with them.

Tusky is best for those who are newer to Mastodon. Visually it's very clean, straightforward to use, and largely free of bugs (it helps to have been around for so many years).

For users more familiar with Mastodon, I'd go with Fedilab. Despite a few bugs, it's the most customizable option, with so many features you can tweak to your own tastes.

Weird story. I had no idea he had carved out his own little crypto world before really seeming to break down.

Let's not turn on other users when Reddit is the actual problem. Show them that there's something better being built over here.
