  • It's not even popular in the western world. It's still a relatively niche and unknown platform that most people in any given country haven't heard of. For example I know of two communities about my home country (which is in the EU and western world), !austria@feddit.org and !austria@europe.pub and if you look at them you can see that they get very little activity despite a lot of things happening in Austria all the time.

  • However, that comes with some extra requirements, such as having 85% of the partners be from Spain, a limitation that Igalia did not want.

    How does that comply with EU law? Is not most discrimination between citizens of different EU member states prohibited by it?

  • That is the exact opposite of how you're supposed to do things (assuming you're on a qwerty keyboard or other keyboard where P is typed with the right hand). The reason there are two shift keys is so that you can hold down the one that is not the one you're typing the letter with, i.e. you should be using the left shift key to type P, but the right shift key to type Q, W, E, R, etc.

  • I've had this thought before, but have also wondered whether it's even possible to implement this using ActivityPub, considering that a wiki inherently requires having the same state everywhere, but ActivityPub allows instances to ban and defederate how they like (thus become desynchronized from each other).

  • You can click the edit or view source link and try to figure out what it's supposed to say from there. This is certainly an error on the Wikimedia Foundation servers' side. There used to be IRC channels where you could make the sysadmins aware of problems like this, not sure those still exist.

  • There's a language selection option in your preferences. Some people may have that set up to not show "undetermined" although at least on my instance the interface warns that people won't see most content if they deselect that.

    I never select a language when commenting, though have done so a few times before (not recently) when starting new threads. It seems that sometimes this is automatically determined, although I can't tell what this depends on.

  • When I was new to Mastodon, I followed everyone who might maybe have something interesting to say (e.g. open source projects that I've never used but found somewhat interesting).

    Right now I have 43 tabs open on my phone most of which are links from Mastodon I haven't yet gotten around to reading... I think you can see why nowadays I tend to unfollow more things than I newly follow.
