anything teenagers actually want to do and enjoy doing is self-harm, haven't you gotten the memo that adults know in 100% of all cases what's good for them a lot better than they themselves do

(To any reader unironically agreeing with the above paragraph, I suggest reading this webcomic.)

But the real question is, if it becomes independent, will it finally have data?

Most people live at least somewhere near a city that doesn't usually get radically different weather than where they do live.

You can register on an instance with a backend that combines the microblogging fediverse and the threadiverse (afaik: mbin, piefed, friendica), then you can both microblog and post to communities.

Yeah discuss.tchncs.de has been serving me well so far too. I don't really know how it compares to other instances because I haven't had a previous account elsewhere.

Stereoblind people already see the world the way a camera does.

I am not sure how non-stereoblind people see in 3D because I've been stereoblind my whole life, but I do think it helps me when taking photos.

Commenting in part to save this thread for later reading when someone more knowledgeable gives a full answer.

Here is what I (think I) know:

• It is possible to follow Lemmy users on Mastodon, which gives you threads they start in your feed, but not comments they make (I have not really tested this, but this is what I remember reading).
• It is possible to follow Lemmy communities on Mastodon, which makes those communities appear as bots that share everything (posts, comments) posted to them (I have done this accidentally before, not realizing that an account I was following was actually a Lemmy community, then wondering why it was only boosting Lemmy posts until I figured it out).
• It is possible to post to Lemmy communities from Mastodon. I don't know how exactly, but !kde@lemmy.kde.social is a community that gets a lot of posts like that, e.g. https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/27370850?scrollToComments=true - looks like they simply tagged the community? I am not sure how this works and have never done this.
• If you are seeing a Lemmy thread or comment on Mastodon through one of the above methods, you can reply to it; you can usually tell when someone is doing that when they put @ links to the people above them in the thread into their posts. Here's a thread full of examples: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/27508474?scrollToComments=true

great so that means the CCP is stepping down and letting the ROC government back into Beijing to govern a reunified China? Excellent news if true.

John Perry Barlow was right: https://www.eff.org/cyberspace-independence

stereoblindness is bad when you're an athlete in a ball game, good when you're a photographer

I think it's important to be allowed to create any community one likes in the fediverse. I wouldn't moderate like that either, but if some people want a community like that, they should be allowed to.

This has to do with how copyright laws changed over time, for example there used to be a requirement in the US for works to have a copyright notice, or for copyright to be renewed, so some things that didn't meet those requirements became public domain earlier than they could have if the copyright holder had cared about all the formalities.

doesn't look like either mastodon or lemmy, although its structure is similar to lemmy; from the sidebar it appears they are running something called "scored" which I don't know anything about

I mean you could use pretty much any federated blogging software for such purposes.

The clue what ActivityPub is for is in the name: it is for publishing one's activities (so that others can subscribe to them). Fiction writing isn't inherently about publishing one's activities, the main thing you want to do on such platforms is host the content so others find it, not make sure your subscribers are notified about your activities. So it's not really clear how ActivityPub fits into that use case, although I suppose you could use it to publish the content.

you need to acquire a better drill then

Israeli leaders, if you're reading this, I know of one way to improve your country's reputation: stop doing the things it is being criticized for.

Who is "we"? Speak for yourself, I usually poop after most meals; if I've eaten a lot or very spicy or fatty things, I might even poop more than once for the same meal.

Those keywords you mention were a thing before 2013.

Aaron Swartz.

Guy was opposed to any and all censorship and was politically left-leaning.

Almost immediately after his death, such people started to die out, opposition to censorship has been a right-wing cause for about the last decade.

You are one of the very few users here on Lemmy I recognize, and it is not because you've been posting very intelligent things. In fact you posted this exact question once already (but seem to have deleted it by now).

I remember being 21 and I was more mature at 21 than you appear to be based on your post and comment history here, in fact I think I was more mature than you are now at around 14.
