  • Data normalization has nothing to do with it.

    All Matrix channels are a channel name and a domain. That’s a unique identifier. You need unique identifiers. Matrix is not designed to exist in an vacuum (even if you can make it work that way). Locality is dictated by policy not by the data model.

  • That’s correct but it’s not like “reddit disallowing NSFW” because you can still access the content.

    Hell, some Lemmy apps allow you to be logged into multiple accounts at once so you can just make an account on the instance that hosts the content your main instance blocks and see both of them.

  • Why not just run your own instance of the Lemmy software? This is essentially what you are asking to do.

  • Then you should understand why a server needs to exist to accept a post from you.

    Unless you are saying “why can’t I send the API calls to Lemmy instances that cause a post from another domain to show up in one” and the answer is that posts aren’t pushed to other instances, they are pulled.

    So you’d need to set up a listener that responds to requests for subscriptions and requests for post and comment updates and responds in kind when another instance that you wish to allow federation with) asks for updates and congratulations you’ve just re-invented the Lemmy server software.

  • BYOD has been a huge shift in corporate IT over the last 10-15 years; mostly because if people bring their own gear, you don’t have to lease it.

    How do you think Citrix is still in business?

  • If you think that the reason Apple makes the bubbles different colors is “to profit of teen bullying” then I think perhaps you might want to go back to reddit or Twitter.

    What a ridiculous statement.

  • I thought we weren’t going to be Reddit-brained over here

  • I think you mean tndtsitngutshable

  • Biang a U-ey is something we have here too.

    I’ll Xiè myself out

  • See, this is why we can’t have a discussion. First, there’s your claim that we “don’t want nuance” here.

    Then you immediately go to “racist liberal communist school teachers are brainwashing white youth to hate themselves” talking points. Sure you watered them down a bit, but that’s because they were watered down to make them palpable to you.

    Great Replacement Theory. You’re pushing shitstain fascist (mainly neo-Nazi) propaganda; whether you realize it or not.

    So maybe you should shut the fuck up until you gets your head in order.

    Checkmate, commie groomers!

  • “We’ll pay you!” - Guy famous for not paying Twitter bills

  • To make an n-turn, you’d need to star from the other side of the street, drive forward, and then back up while steering around the bend.

    When creating traffic laws and regulations, this was deemed too dangerous, so they went with “u”.

    (You should have seen the options when they were using a serif font…)

  • Cyclist starter pack: “Sidewalk? You mean my personal bike lane?”

  • This is how Threads would take over the Fediverse and eventually win when they decide ActivityPub development is too slow and holds them back.

    Boom all your communities are now empty.

    Federation works because we’re spread out. Just subscribe to all the small communities.

    Now, what might be a better idea is a cross post functionality where the crosspost has a single identifier of its own so it only will show up once in your feed (I guess as your local instance)

    That way you can have the ability to reach everyone as if you had posted a bunch of times, but a big popular corporate instance can’t gather up all the communities and then defederate and wall them off.

  • I’ve heard the latest Debian absolutely slaps; haven’t tried it yet myself though

  • Yeah but it’s a great reason not to support them
