Ugh, the comments here are so full of BS and distortions of what really happened 🤦

So here is the actual tl;dr: Some people asked the main Fosstodon admins what they think about having an openly Trump supporting, islamo- and transphobic moderator in their team and their response was "not here on Fosstodon and not our problem" (paraphrased, but close to their actual response).

That is pretty much like this scenario: lets say you get (credibly) informed about someone openly corrupt in your organization. If your response is: I have not seen them steal money in our organization and our processes should prevent any theft happening, then you are missing the forest for the trees.

If an organization can't get such basic governance issues right and prefers to hide behind a "neutral" stance on something that is really concerning to a large percentage of their members than they irrevocably lose a lot of trust and that is more than justified.

There is usually a meta community where you can ask the instance admins for a community transfer.

You can open the browser extension menu and press the fill button. The autofill never seems to have worked here on my mobile Firefox 🤷

In theory you can also self-host Firefox sync, but well... there seem to be issues with that.

Afaik yes.

The latest Lemmy release already allows moderators (and admins) to see who voted 🤷

Huh? Is there some study if cats recognize themselves in a mirror? Because this sure looks like that cat does 🤔

As if interviewers would read the resume before or even be involved in the shortlisting of candidates...

Also included: XMPP account on the same address, but it would be nice if they would keep their Ejabberd a bit more up to date.

What you need to be aware off is that the LibreOffice based options run a full headless LibreOffice client on the server for each connecting user and stream the view as tiles to the webclients. If you mostly use low power devices to access your office files remotely this can be great as it offloads the processing to the server. But I think in most home server or VPS settings the server speed is the more limiting factor.

OnlyOffice on the other hand runs entirely in your browser and thus puts little extra strain on the server.

Well, lets see when that actually happens. I am doubtful.

I guess they are being creative on marketing with having implemented a small part of the matrix protocol via their appservice bridge.

The disadvantage is that it is just a bridge like many others and totally dependent on Synapse, which is a resource hog and open-core.

actually implemented the matrix protocol, so it’s interoperable with matrix.

They originally planned this, but realized along the way that the Matrix specs are overly complicated and change at the wim of Element, so they ended up only supporting a link to Synapse via the appservice system, which isn't great as it means you have to run both Rocketchat and Synapse on the same server for it to work.

XMPP is great. Movim.eu is a nice webclient for it that also does macro-blogging.

Akkoma serves me well for the micro-blogging part of the Fediverse.

GoToSocial is just another Fediverse software that works with multiple users like any other. The difference is really only that it is tuned more towards smaller instances and as a result is easier to set up and maintain. It also assumes most people will be using a mobile app with it anyways and thus the built in webclient is very bare bones. It does work fine with external webclients like Phanpy though.

I am aware of that and explicitly didn't write ActivityPub c2s api 🙄

Quite interesting that this functions as an independent AP server instead of using the c2s api like most other bots 👍

You can still manually query accounts, yes. But that is not what I said.

This only applies to old posts. New post will not be send to lemmy.ml anymore.

It does work on the latest version of the default interface. There was a fix recently.

I agree on the global forum aspect of Twitter being the reason it was exciting for public figures and journalists, but you get waaay more genuine interactions from normal (techy) people on Mastodon. It may feel a bit dead when you start out because there is no algorithm to feed you content, but after a while of using it you get a lot of interesting opinions and feedback on things you post.
