I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as @qaz@lemmy.ml until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

4·12 days agoI saw you joined it, what do you think about it so far? They mentioned non transparency of algorithms, and I feel like FOSS would help a lot for that. They also mentioned more regulation, but I’m worried that might lead to regulatory capture, disspropionately affecting smaller communities while big tech remains largely unimpacted.
Also a bit ironic they use gmail lol
It’s on Zoom, here’s the invite https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87415126197
Let them federate with Hexbear
The HTTP response times are sometimes a little rough, but the team has managed to keep up a large part of the fediverse for the past few years. It’s impressive, and I’m happy that I ended up chosing lemmy.world after migrating from lemmy.ml.
I’ve personally started creating my new communities on other instances to spread it out more. You create an alt on a fitting and reliable instance, create it there and then give control to your main account. My latest community is on mander.xyz.
I tend to pick D, the instance that is federated with most other instances so most of the interactions are visible or C.
Neat, might have to try that sometime
Are there options with lower fees? It’s not much but if people pay per view it adds up quickly.
I think something like this is going to be a necessity to make a federated video platform work.
What are the transaction fees for USDC?
Thanks for the update, good luck with your trip.

They’re hosting Nextcloud, it’s not realistic to expect them to fix/implement E2EE when the upstream project hasn’t been able to for the past few years.
Nextcloud’s E2EE support isn’t great. It does exist and is mentioned on their site but it has a lot of issues.
Imagine if someone teaches them about volunteer work
I don’t think this is a good idea. I would prefer the votes of new accounts having a lower impact.
I checked the images and so far every image I’ve encountered linked to the users’s lemmy instance’s pictrs instance, none were hosted through a custom trackable image host.
Could you please explain what mean with that? Why would the CEO of Pfizer have paid for that?
EDIT 2025-03-26: Bloomcole was referring to the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfizergate. It refers to when von der Leyen directly negotiated a big contract with the CEO of Pfizer with very little transparency and later refused to share any information about it.
Nobody embodies the EU’s elite-driven nature better than its incumbent president, Ursula von der Leyen. And no action of hers embodies its warped excesses better than her decision, in April 2021, to single-handedly sign off on a €35-billion deal for the purchase of 1.8 billion doses of the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine. According to one analysis, the price per dose she agreed was 15 times higher than the cost of production — meaning that the EU overpaid the vaccines by tens of billions of euros. Adding fuel to the fire, the New York Times later reported that von der Leyen had personally negotiated the deal via a series of text messages and calls with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla.
1·1 year agoWhich Nazi propaganda videos are you referring to? I’m unable to find them.
They seemed unfamiliar with the workings of Mastodon, so it doesn’t seem like it. There doesn’t seem to be technical vision behind the proposal yet.
