    [waves hand]

    Call on me!! Call on me!!

    Why not just make it 1998 and bring back Web Rings?

    Problem solved

  • @AlbigensianGhoul

    If a #Lemmy post has to come with instructions for me to read it properly, not interested

    Hard pass on that

  • @saplacat

    "I think this is on your side but it’s hard to make out what you’re actually trying or which links you are referring to."

    This is exactly my point

    I'm clicking on the links you're posting as they appear on Mastodon

    I'm on Mastodon v4.3.4 which is the latest version

    Why do I have to be logged in to some Lemmy instance to get Lemmy posts to operate with any kind of sanity?

    I don't

  • @saplacat

    It does exactly the same thing when I click through on your profile link from Mastodon and click the top-most link under your profile

    Y'all got sold a bill of goods and seem to be stuck in your own little Walled Garden

  • @saplacat

    Mastodon v4.3.4, Firefox 136.0 (64-bit) browser tab on Ubuntu desktop

    This is so typical of #Lemmy posts I've already filtered them out

    Why should I click through on something I won't be able to read?

  • @yogthos

    "You must log in or register to comment."

    Or even read whatever it is

    feh...

    "but after reading the rules, I definitely don’t want to use that server. Mainly because of this rule:

    "No incitement of violence or promotion of violent ideologies”

    That’s not gonna fly for me. I definitely want to see people inciting violence against CEOs and stuff if the time comes."

    You're trolling, right?

    Right?

    Bad gambit

    Bye...

  • @frightfulhobgoblin

    Lets review:

    You make a declarative, public statement about the length of your password, suggesting a problem

    The required length of a password is stated at your link

    Someone asks you the obvious question

    You insult them with a complete non sequitur

    Wow...

    Instructive to read #Maven's #About page and see who's behind it.

    Here: https://www.heymaven.com/about

    Selected excerpts from "Who is behind Maven?"

    "CEO Ken Stanley is an expert on open-ended discovery in both AI and human systems and ... (most recently leading the Open-Endedness Team at #OpenAI )."

    At: "Is Maven part of a larger company?"

    "No, Maven is an independent startup."

    But

    "Here are a few of our investors, who also commented on their reasons for supporting Maven:

    - Ev Williams, co-founder of #Twitter: “Maven lets you follow your deepest curiosities instead of the trends of the day.”

    - Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI: ”In Maven, there is a chance for AI to play a role in fixing much that is broken in our online discourse.”

    - Rana El Kaliouby, co-founder of Affectiva..."

    Sam Altman

    SamAltman

    Where have I heard that name before?

  • @deadsuperhero

    Been looking into #Maven all morning

    Just going to copy-paste two posts

    The head admin/dev @jsecretan claims:

    "Happy to remove any of your posts from Maven and cease ingestion from those servers going forward"

    So, after the fact, individuals on Mastodon have to contact you personally and ask you to stop?

    Is that your position?

    Reminds me of Byron Miller (@Supernovae @universeodon.com) and his since-deleted "In four months of having full text seach [we haven't heard from anyone who has be directly harmed]..."

    That last is a paraphrase because Supernovae has pretty much removed any mention of himself from the Fediverse, right down to deleting his involvement with Mastodon on Github, causing renchap to opine:

    "I suspect that @Supernovae closed it because they do not want to be involved with Mastodon anymore."

    here: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/21398#issuecomment-2145321855

    Executive summary: there are a lot of people On Here(tm) who don't appreciated every new idea all you bright-eyed young creatives can come up with

  • @Deadman

    Couple thoughts, because I read some common misunderstandings

    1. The Fediverse is a broad, generic concept like "democracy"

    No one is running "Fediverse" anywhere or is homed on a "Fediverse" instance

    1. #ActivityPub is a protocol, a specification if you will

    It must be implemented in a specific software distribution (to varying degrees of accuracy) to exist

    Again, no one is running "ActivityPub" anywhere or is homed on an "ActivityPub" instance

    1. "Viewing content from other #instances, one needs to follow a profile from that instance"

    and

    "Explicitly viewing instance content, user needs to sign up on their instance"

    No

    I can go to your instance in a web browser, to /public/local/ and read the public posts on your specific instance

    Here: https://mstdn.social/public/local

    But no, I cannot see anyone's Home feed unless I follow that person, or follow hashtags which we use and Follow in common

    Which is the only reason I saw your post in the first place, the hashtag #Fediverse
