If Mastodon were as big as Bluesky is, it would also have this problem.

Just another day in Occupied Palestine

Calling China “West Taiwan” undermines Taiwanese independence.

That’s a misreading of the headline. Pro-LGBT speech IS allowed, but often suppressed.

DuckDuckGo and Kagi managed to figure this out. Bing is the odd one out.

They should probably just make that the default homepage at this point

If Bluesky goes, Lemmy will be my permanent home

I have to wake up at 5:30 every morning

Sorry to burst your bubble, but permanent daylight time is bad for public health.

It’s worse for your sleep and for your health.

If we had year-round DST, the sun wouldn’t rise until after 8 AM in the winter.

He’ll probably fuck it up by pushing for year-round DST (where the sun wouldn’t rise until after 8 AM in the winter).

This is only great news if you are Mark Zuckerberg and you want a near-monopoly on social media.

Fuck. What now?

1. As far as I know, there aren’t any yet. Even if there were, I personally wouldn’t trust them for the same reason I wouldn’t use any Mastodon instance besides mastodon.social: if the PDS shuts down abruptly, your account is gone forever.
2. Bluesky and ATProto are designed specifically to hide the ways in which it’s decentralized.
3. I think this post does a good job visualizing how AtProto is different from ActivityPub.

This is for if you want to host parallel infrastructure. If you only want to self-host your own data, the instructions create a PDS are here, and the instructions to migrate an existing Bluesky account to that PDS are here.

For most Americans, that’s not feasible.

I’m begging google to just bring back YouTube Premium Lite and expand it

What do you want Israel to do? Discriminate against LGBTQ or not?

What we don’t want Israel to do is use LGBTQ people as propaganda, especially against Palestinians. It’s unproductive, and it disgusts me everytime someone uses “Hamas would throw you off a roof” as a cheap gotcha.
