It already has Twitter-like and Instagram-like platforms. How much worse can it get?

Just like you have to make another account on each Fediverse platform because either they’re incompatible or one of them blocks the other.

How is this walled-garden behavior? There is no centralized database of Minetest accounts.

Wiser words have never been spoken.

I hate that it constantly plays advertisements for itself. Like, I’m already listening to you, I don’t need to be informed that you exist.

You would be able to find them if every instance didn’t decide to defederate with Threads.

How would federation with Threads have any effect on the usability of a Mastodon instance?

Terminally online people often get the feeling that everyone except a hateful minority agrees with them, when in reality they’re part of a secluded echo chamber.

You’re so close to reinventing Smalltalk…

What is ridiculous about it? What do you see as the difference between moderation and censorship?

I’m not citing the author to add credibility, just to give credit.

Moderation is when you take down material because the recipient doesn’t want to see it. Censorship is when you take down content because you don’t want the recipient to see it, regardless of how the recipient feels about it.

For whatever reason, GIMP includes this image of a green pepper as a built-in brush.

I find it disappointing that everyone says how the Fediverse will allow all kinds of social media, personal blogs and other things to be interconnected, but in the end it kinda sorta works for Twitter clones and barely works for anything else.

You literally said “instead of algorithms”, implying that algorithms would be replaced.

But SearxNG doesn’t have the nice features like bangs, redirects, changing the priority of domains, custom CSS, lenses, etc.

Kagi has clearly stated that the AI features will always be optional and the engine is designed to be useful without them.

Try writing 20 algebraic manipulations of the equation on paper and you’ll quickly understand why it’s written that way.

Why not just add function overloading to the language and have a function named copy that takes a string and an optional character count?

To be honest, my comment probably applies more to gets, but the point is the same.

Good for you. Not all of us have terabytes of free space on our computers.
