Are you calling the server list on joinmastodon.org “the federation”? Because it’s not; it’s literally just a list. Nothing about the list tells you about any actual federation between instances. Without a doubt there are instances on that list that are federated with ones not on that list and vice versa. It’s not even the only list out there.
This would be a good thing, though I think it’s trickier than it appears:
Lots of comments already telling you to stay home so I don’t think I need to. What I will say is if you don’t want to contribute to the growing number of variants, you’ll stay home. Variants largely arise from mutations in the virus during replication. Humans are virus-replication machines. If you’re infected you could be carrying a new variant right now and the only way to stop it is to let it die inside you. Your body’s immune system will already be in full swing and be in the best position to deal with it as opposed to an uninfected person.
Don’t contribute to the endemicity of COVID.
Is this a repost? I’ve seen this exact same post somewhere.
Anyway, SimpleX may not be decentralized OOTB, but can be made to be since their relays are self-hostable. It should be as simple as spinning up an instance and changing the url in app.
The Proton free tier is pretty limited compared to Gmail, in particular for me, you’re only allowed 1 label. The basic paid tier opens up a lot more. They definitely want you to upgrade to the paid tier.
Available on desktop device (Windows, MacOS, Linux), because decentralized network may cause high amount of cellular data usage when connecting with nodes.
It looks like SimpleX does have a desktop app, it’s just via cli: https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/tree/stable#zap-quick-installation-of-a-terminal-app
IMO the title is incorrect because the common interpretation of getting “burned out” is that of the same individuals of a population losing effectiveness after working hard. The article even likens the term “exhausted” the same interpretation of the phrase:
Altogether, our research suggests that T cells in tumors are not necessarily working hard and getting exhausted. Rather, they are blocked right from the start.
This same quote describes the truth of the phenomenon where it’s not individuals getting “exhausted”, but cellular signalling permanently altering the expression of T cells to make them less and less effective.
A more correct title would be something like:
Cancer makes every generation of T cells worse than the last
Isn’t this a strange article title? The whole point of it is to show T cells don’t actually get “burned out” at all. And imo it’s not like the real reason is uninteresting.
Why dress the article in the exact thing it’s refuting?
I’m not agreeing with the above, but it’s nuanced. Content curation is a sliding scale that can create an echo chamber if one becomes too insular. On the internet especially where discourse can be inflammatory, avoiding some topics can shut you off from entire ideas that may otherwise be benign.
IMO create the experience you want, but build resilience and test your limits often. It’s healthier for yourself and the internet as a community.
Do you have any rationale behind keeping in touch with those people in spite of their treatment of you? What do you believe about their future behaviour?
I would hope in the future we get a more fleshed out version of multireddits. I think it would be a decent solution since I don’t think duplication of communities is a phenomenon that will ever go away.
Joined on one instance, it went away, had to create a new account on this instance.
That’s a really annoying issue. Not being able to trust an instance to keep your account alive plants the seeds for a centralization problem in the future.
Agreed, though I think it’s less “we don’t want you here” and more “you’re on your own”. I liken it to Linux in that sense where new users are expected to try harder to learn the ins and outs. The difference is with Linux what you learn can be applied in so many more places in your Linux experience. With Lemmy, once you grasp the technical depth of it there’s not much you can do with it except explain it to another person.
I agree, though I probably wouldn’t call it marketing or advertising. Maybe just a better and more accessible introduction and onboarding experience.
Except OP is starting a meta discussion about Reddit discussions, not a direct discussion about Reddit. I don’t necessarily agree with OP, but you’ve crafted an artificial contradiction using a false equivalence. I’d be happier if we left the Reddit-tier logic back where it belongs.
This will be a terrible answer to your question, but I recently listened to this episode of the Linux Unplugged podcast and they seem try to explain the situation from Red Hat’s perspective. It sounds very technical, but it was interesting to listen to because up until then I had only been seeing anti Red Hat commentary online.
Are you still using it? I went through many deployments before I finally thought I had it settled.
At the beginning of the pandemic I looked into ways to de-Google and found Nextcloud. It wasn’t the easiest thing to start with, especially for a novice, but I had the time and the hardware, and I’m the type to not mind jumping into something difficult if it means solving a specific problem. I then found out about Bitwarden and had a great experience setting that up. After that I was confident enough to try hosting anything I could find. It’s been good times ever since 😀
