ActivityPub doesn’t guarantee your post gets taken down on other instances after you delete it. Federation with another site isn’t more a less trustworthy just because it uses AP proper or a bridge.
I think that everyone being on the same protocol is better for compatibility and UX but I think bridges can have their place for those who choose to use them until then.
Your employer has policies for dealing with shrink/theft. They assuredly don't include confronting the shoplifter. It sucks because you were just trying to act in the best interest of your store. It sucks to lose your job, it sucks to not be given a second chance based on your history. I'm guessing there is probably liability/reputation concerns that is keeping corporate from just giving you a warning. Its not that they don't care about you, actually it is because they don't care about you, the dollar value of the risk of lawsuit/bad press became higher than what it costs to replace you.
Did we just have a different post on this topic a couple days ago? I can dig up my reply from the last thread but basically Lemmy and the fediverse is similarly bad for political discourse as the other social platforms because of the (semi)anonymous of social media and the fact we don't really have the mental bandwidth needed to devote time to have nuanced conversations with strangers.
If IP was developed today, you'd be paying IBM or a similar corp royalties for every network adapter manufactured. Thats whats supposed to be impossible in today's late-stage hyper-capitalism web.
Thats really a great feature if it allows you to use Siri for instance to edit iCloud photos with text prompts. There have been some really great AI powered photo editing features on Pixel and Google One that would be nice to be able to have natively on iPhone. And especially if you could use "magic eraser" based on a text prompt rather than trying to scrub it yourself.
This screen combined with the somber music used to give me such an uneasy feeling. I'd close my eyes and spam A as fast as I could whenever I got a game over as a kid.
The only mastodon posts that get federated to lemmy are ones that explicitly mention a community. So if someone just has a random toot, its not going to be viewable from lemmy
I think that the masses are mostly disengaged with terminally-online type discourse. The only reason I knew JK Rowling was TERF was because of reading it on here, so if you are only on social media to follow your old high school classmates on facebook, you'd probably never find out
Nostr is really good at the one thing AP struggled with, which is identity portability.
That being said, I feel like the challenges that nostr has (the network effect, association with crypto bros, private key recovery and human readable account linking) are bigger hurdles than what AP has to overcome
I still think there is room for both to operate and a market niche for bridging services for those who want to follow people on both protocols
I don’t care for beehaw but I don’t see why it’s any different from any other non-federated general discussion forum.
They aren’t helping the fediverse grow but they aren’t actively harming it either. It’s a live or let live thing. Being able to choose who you federate with is part of the fediverse
Lemmy isn’t an echo chamber. It can’t be because it doesn’t have an algorithmic feed so it’s not artificially boosting viewpoints based on engagement. There is simply more people who are more left-leaning than Reddit/twitter. The political posts aren’t self-reinforcing just really prevalent
That happens in any online space. The internet is not a great place for that kind of discourse because it lacks the context that you have with people that you associate with in real life. When you talk about politics with a family member, coworker, or friend with who you have a disagreement with, you know the experiences that they had in life and led them to hold that belief and so you believe that their viewpoint is genuine and so you look to change their mind. Online the person on the other, you know nothing about so you are more likely to be frustrated with them and consider them a troll or political enemy.
The secret is knowing when to disengage with someone online because otherwise you will get jaded.
The thing is that the votes don’t matter on Lemmy, they are purely for organizing content in the home/all feed if you sort by Top. You shouldn’t worry about being downvoted. It doesn’t down rank you in the algorithm and restrict your ability to post like on Reddit.
