  • Ran Ubuntu and Ubuntu server first then switched to desktop fedora and liked it so I switched all my servers to fedora. Tried TrueNas Scale in the past and disliked it except for SMB shares. Also have an unraid server but hate it.

    I guess I’m pretty superficial about just liking the base fedora DE. Idk beyond that.

  • Are you asking country specific based on the transliterations? I feel manga can be fun but also quite goofy. Less experience with the others. The Korean ones I see in the library seem underdeveloped and the Chinese ones somewhat better

  • Well written article. I wonder how common cross posting your content is for Mastoton and Bluesky? Or peertube and YouTube? I chose Mastodon because I believe in activityhub and YouTube because it actually has people. Would someone prefer mastodon but also share to bluesky?

    I find it kind of goofy that they quote their own toots. Feels like tooting their own horn. Just say it, don’t need to quote it.

  • When you “private mention” someone, only you and they can see the post. And they can reply with a “private mention” of their own. But if anyone in that “private” thread accidentally mentions any other Mastodon account by name, that is itself considered a “private mention”, and that person is invited into the thread. It is an absolutely insane UI design that makes it extremely easy to share private conversations with exactly the people you don’t want reading them.

    This is the best real critique

  • This problem became abundantly clear after setting up my solar bots on the mas.to instance: the mastodon.social instance (where I keep my personal account) had expressed no interest in any of these accounts, so none of their posts were available to my personal account. Crucially, the posts did not exist even if I visited the profile page of the account: even after weeks of daily posts, the profile page displayed by mastodon.social claimed the account had never posted, and the posts would only begin appearing after someone on mastodon.social began following the account. (And even then, for reasons far trickier to debug, some posts would never propagate to instances where they did have followers. The ActivityPub architecture and protocol are just flaky.)

    Feels like half their argument is because no one wants their crappy bots
