The waiting list is still very long at this point. Probably don’t expect to get in for like 2 weeks…

Eh… no? Most free press is privately owned. Just not by billionaires who influence the content.

1997 was before his big break. At this point, he was Rap Olympics famous, not signed to Dr. Dre famous.

Implementing mastodon.social instead of proper Mastodon, implementing no other fedi software – this scheduler has much potential/work ahead

What you see on Bluesky is a lot of people using their own domains for their handles. They are not hosting their own instances though, it’s only their identities. Their connection to the AT protocol still goes through the central Bluesky server.

Theoretically, yes. Practically, the way their model is set up, it costs a lot to host a federated server so no one is doing it.

No. I have blocked a few specific lemmy.ml communities but I don’t generally avoid interacting with lemmy.ml.

There are other instances I have blocked completely (a certain grad).

Fyi @informapirata@mastodon.uno I have crossposted the meme to !fedimemes@feddit.uk where the audience might be a bit more appreciative of seeing memes :D

Afaik nutomic recently improved federation interoperability with projects like WordPress that use “Person” instead of “Group”. But idk the technical details for that.

So you mean, thematically focused on the fediverse? Or able to listen to over the fediverse?

Nintendo has gone after youtubers and content creators for 15+ years. They are infamous for it.

Closed for registrations = no instance user accounts

Given how other impactful contributors to the ActivityPub spec have been presenting their work in public vs how Evan does it, one can certainly get the impression that he is a bit self centered, yeah.

I mean, age of attraction is different for everyone and tbh I don’t have an “absolute” problem with a 33yo consensually hooking up with a 18yo. To me, it’s simply as weird as hooking up with a senior citizen.

But as this case once again shows, often times the people who go for much younger ones are ignoring when those feel uncomfortable, are not willing to consent, and keep pushing for something. And that is straight up inacceptable.

This Bix guy seems a bit butthurt.

Like, I am sure there are dozens of definitions for what “social web” is and when it began. And that sentence about Evan surely is sus, but is one sentence on one foundations website. I’m still thinking that this foundation will be pretty irrelevant.

For the german speaking countries, !dach@feddit.org

Given that the state-run media used to fearmonger with horror stories about Germans before Tusks party won the last election… I’d think it’s only partly a joke. Tusk knows that there are Poles who still think Germans are all criminals (like vice versa in Germany).

Except there is literally no evidence for Epstein being an Mossad op. People are pulling that solely out of the relationship of Maxwell sr to the Mossad.

Exactly. Tell them to leave and in the worst case some landowner might threaten to punch them.
