@remington was about time. Thankfully, no one died despite the far right triad's efforts (AUR, SOS and POT parties) to slow things down. Fuck Russian aggression and Putler in particular.

Long overdue. He should have gone after the handling of last year's elections
Hello from Friendica.
How do you feel the platform performs compared to corporate ones?
As a user, I think it still has some way to go to reach parity with Facebook, and some features likely could be impossible to implement as they require tracking and gathering user data en-masse (imo). But it still got a thing or two in its sleeves, and those things also keep me here too, besides the federation, freedom and privacy ones.
For example, I just discovered I can send my posts on email as well to whatever person I want, which makes the whole thing highly usable even if people aren't there.
There are some bugs that might put people off, and Friendica as a platform might seem to have a higher learning curve too (I really got into it after watching some videos on yt), but this is with all the Fediverse platforms I guess? idk
How do you feel moderation is handled?
I never did moderation for it.
Do you believe the people of Beehaw (admins, moderators and users) could do a better job? If so, then why?
I don't know tbh 😁
I think UI wise, as being an alternative to Facebook, Friendica is possibly the best Fediverse platform out there, not only are the features and the capabilities (text formatting pretty much everywhere, a calendar with events, RSS feeds straight into your main feed, plugin options etc.), but it just makes it easier to tell if a post that I'm seeing is a top-level or just a comment, if it's from a group or just posted by a person etc.
My advice would be to try it and see what it is up to. The admin of lemmy.world (and also mastodon.world) also set up an instance on friendica.world, and it quickly became pretty much the no. 1 Friendica instance. 😁
Plus, the devs of the platform are very open to suggestions and provide very comprehensive reasons if they reject a certain feature request.
vedem cine iese 😁 e super strâns scorul oricum.
@mesamunefire The latest find, highly underrated, is @flwwhtrbt (also posting under @PerfectDark on !steamdeck@sopuli.xyz) posts about the latest gaming stuff on Linux and in general. Highly informative imo and not overwhelming with posts.
Then I get my memes from @nonfedimemes and @memes.pixelfed. I also liked @DarthPutinKGB, but it now it appears to have stopped posting.
There's also my page called @cheamaminerii where I post infrequent updates about the health condition of Romania's 1st president, Ion Iliescu, charged for crimes against humanity (currently mostly posting about the fact that he's alive - which is what trăiește means).
There's also @FoxNews which posts the latest news about foxes. Highly recommended if you want to stay up to date in this regard.
For serious news, some of the journalists I recommend following are @timkmak @kevinrothrock @w7voa @anneapplebaum plus other big publications, which have enabled federation via their Flipboard account, like @BBCNews or which they have an actual Mastodon presence like @theintercept @arstechnica or @Bellingcat
Other creators that I like are @silentbeauties (posting about vintage movies and actors), @Astro_benny (Italian NASA astronaut, posting about all things space) or @notjustbikes (yes, the real one).
Last but not least, there are some bots that reply to you with some various stuff if you tag them:
I'm using them as Christmas tree decorations, but you can use them in multiple ways. You can hang them by a string, you can spray paint them and/or put them in a terrarium, etc.
It was unreliable on my potato computer and with the speeds of back then for me, but I remember that pretty much all of my friends used it. I had to use my mum's computer to join in lol.
Well, you can easily tell if an envelope has been tampered with. For email, on the other hand, it's more difficult for the average folk. And again, Gmail is also sharing information with the government (okay, it's mostly the US government, but still).
Imo, we need more providers like Proton, Tuta, Mailbox dot org etc. and probably more education into how one could protect their data and so on.
I think they do provide torrents for the stuff they have available to download already. So we know what to do *wink*!
Having the government provide email as a public communication service sounds good in theory. However, this could also pose a privacy risk if your government turns rogue and authoritarian. If it is possible to also have this communication E2E encrypted in a way that is as frictionless as possible (no, PGP is not really that frictionless unless it's built in), it would be great. However, we all know what is the general take of governments regarding E2E encryption, so I think I'll pass this one.

@Servais haven't really watched it since 2 years ago. Not really into this geopolitical song contest anymore. I prefer finding stuff on YouTube, Spotify, Bandcamp or wherever I have an account.
