It's literally what federation is. It's why discovery doesn't work the way people expect.

Do you mean to say that PeerTube at least embeds videos? Because that's news to me, and welcomed news at that

Not here, no. It does on Mastodon and other microblogs, though.

I was still seeing people use them as of 1995, but it wasn't that common. At least, not on IRC. Not sure what the style was on Usenet or BBSes

Boosting re-sends the original message, with the original message id attached, and both Lemmy and mbin filter filter out duplicates. On Lemmy, upvoting a post boosts it, and on mbin the functions are separate. Boosting works to get the community/magazine group actor to re-send the post to subscribed remote sites, so if the site you're using subscribed to a community after the original post was made, it could now receive it thanks to the boost.

Well, it is a photo sharing platform.

He creates shareholder value. That's all that publically trades companies do. It's their goal.

Everything else is just ways they attempt to do that, and someone like Elon does it with hype, since the agencies that are supposed to prevent such nonsense abandoned their responsibilities a long time ago.

Tesla stocks are now a ponzi scheme. At some point, someone'll be left holding the bag.

It's not unsocial. It's just not mirroring multi-gigabyte files by default. It's perfectly social if you use the website.

Everyone has to stop conflating the technology with the network. Lemmy is a website engine. PeerTube is a website engine. The ability to mirror content is not inherent to running a Lemmy- or PeerTube-based website. The network is not the primary object here.

It is a construct that arrises from content-mirroring.

Remember, federation is copying, not creating some kind of remote view. If you're federating videos, you're letting other websites consume terabytes of your storage space amd bandwidth.

No. I think it works to hide the distributed nature of the fediverse, and works to make things that are inherent to a distributed model seem uncanney and broken.

It also strips some value out of the 'local' experience, communicating that each Mastodon-based website is the same as any other, and presenting something that looks like a dumb terminal, rather than a stand-alone website.

Ultimately, I think it's bad for the fediverse.

I mean, most of the communities are on .world, and if they're not federating with .world, they're just not going to show up in the majority of comment sections.

But also, HB is much more of a communal space than most of the big instances, and much more aligned on how they engage with off-site content. And as the fediverse grows horizontally, a significant part of it probably going to be through focused instances, rather than more general purpose sites. We have those covered already, and most of the people interested in something like that aren't going to leave Reddit anytime soon.

They have what they want.

This means there will be more "we don't want to host this kind of content" discussions over time, not fewer. The fediverse will look more patchwork, not less.

"Accidents"

This is a soundbite that does nothing but help Trudeau. There's no reason to think it was accidental, rather than just theatrical. He was a drama teacher. He knows how to make an impact.

It will never happen. The NDP and the Liberals are just not allies, and will not get out of each others way, no matter how much anyone else would like them to.

Just need a big ol' Smilin' Moe slammer.

So, I gather what you're encountering is communities that are tossing out posts and comments that do not break any laws, on the basis that they find them distasteful. And you're looking for an instance where communities will not do this, but that is also federated with all of the instances hosting the communities that are doing this.

But to what end? If you are still trying to interface with those communities, the posts will still be removed. Being on a "free speech instance" doesn't insulate you from the rules of the communities you are engaging with. There's only an issue if you're finding yourself under pressure to change your own behaviour under threat of the admins banning you from the site.

You're looking for a space where you will feel welcome, but where one of the key defining elements is making it easy to ignore that local space.

I'm not sure you're presenting a coherent desire here.

The polls are all starting to show the Liberals gaining on the Conservatives, they're just showing the trend starting at different times. Ipsos, Nanos, and the others are even showing the rate of change being similar to the EKOS polls (the most recent of which have the Libs and Cons in a statistical tie), just starting several weeks later.

There's enough runway to make this interesring, and enough Trump to keep the trends going.

Downvotes are already a questionable design choice, which encourage passive-aggressive drive-by behaviour rather than engaging with and countering challenging ideas. They're kind of a dark feature, which give the user a sense of participation, or worse, the sense of being a cop, while contributing nothing.

They are catharsis without praxis, and they almost certainly contribute to online toxicity.

Actually giving them forum or site moderation power is... Well, it sure is doubling down on that feeling like a cop thing.

And what are all cops?

Going to get Nuralink to market, though.

Holy shit, it's going gold!

There will never be "a lemmy". There's no canonical "lemmy" out there. There is only 1000 independent websites, sharing select content with select neighbours.

We either accept this, or we return to corporate social media.
