I’ve been hearing good things about peertube and pixelfed, but have yet to really dive into either. Both are free and decentralized like lemmy though :)
https://joinpeertube.org (positioned to replace youtube)
https://pixelfed.org (more like instagram?)
I can’t believe I’m only now looking into the decentralized side of the social internet - I’m usually an early adopter lol. Been a boiling frog in corporate for too long.
Honestly at that point I’d just delete the mail app altogether, quit my job and join a forest commune
like damn
I’m super pissed about this.
I have a ton of client domains registered with google, and squarespace’s pricing is double.
They had by far the best platform I’ve used for managing domains. This sucks.
Memmy was easily my app of choice, but these are some big improvements so it’s between these two for sure now.
Each has important features the other doesn’t, but both are steaming ahead at a record pace. I know all about how the tiniest feature can take ages to code properly, so I’m really appreciative of all the work being poured into making lemmy more friendly.
Especially for us who had apollo set up just right for all our own personal idiosyncrasies lol
Thunder is too far behind to compete right now, but damn if the front runners aren’t setting the bar high
Good lord some of the names in that list…
What horrifying company for an instance with such a seemingly benign and inclusive name.
I considered it, but I liked the idea that I could actually pick something short and (semi)sweet instead.
Plus, new start and all that.
I’d be interested to see how they isolated use of AI from, well, everything else that’s happened in the last three years.
We are more stressed, burned out, socially isolated, broke, and pessimistic than ever.
The findings do make sense I think, if AI is replacing interpersonal collaboration and already dwindling social contact within that larger context, combined with the knowledge that (in my case, anyway) the very tool you’re using also poses a threat to your own financial future.
Yep. Expecting a lot of bot comments on bot reposts that are just copied portions of top comments on previous versions of that repost.
It had gotten to the point where I didn’t feel confident upvoting much at all anymore, because so many posts were automated content, and worse, more and more comments were just bots stealing contributions made elsewhere (or even further down in the same post) by actual people.
It’s only going to get worse now.
I really hope the fediverse is able to do something to safeguard against all that. Because if it’s not already testing the locks, it’s coming.
Mlem is coming along nicely. It’s a far cry from Apollo, but I feel for the devs in this space; they weren’t ready! It’s a lot all at once.
I’ve been flipping between mlem and kbin (as a pwa for now)
Kbin does have a bit more to offer right now in terms of customization, but it’s barely out of prototype phase itself. You can have a compact mode experience there, but both options are limited and struggling to catch their breath, in their own ways.
Mlem just implemented comment collapsing which I definitely appreciate.
At the same time I’m not mad about the lack of polish in this stage. A lot of the things people hated about reddit came from a particular type of mean-spirited and/or low-effort user… maybe the requirement of a little effort and patience/empathy on our parts now could be to our ultimate benefit :)
This should be a wake up call, but I’m too far gone.
I don’t want to pile on, you guys are doing a great job
Immediately for me though, since you asked:
Missing from both:
