I have never been an "online community first" person. The internet is how I stay in touch with people I met in real life. I'm not a "tweet comments at celebrities" guy. I was never funny enough to be the funniest person on Twitter.
So when Twitter was accidentally purchased
It’s incredible how much ActivityPub sabotages itself. This author speaks on the deliberately dysfunctional aspects of Mastodon as being a result of “open source software having to suck” when in fact the devs here chose to make it suck because they decided it was better, like removing quote tweets etc. Misskey variants do all this stuff perfectly fine, far more features than Twitter actually, although the base version is incredibly buggy and inhabited by pedophiles. There is no reason why Lemmy and its forks can’t connect to these sites either. People are just incredibly confused on here and do not see their own potential.
Big fan of Movim by the way.
Related to Movim; it just received Discord-like spaces a couple days ago! So it’s now a pretty effective decentralized Discord that can do group audio/video calls, screen share, and even has blogging built in.
Highly recommend anyone thinking about ditching Discord to give it a shot. It doesn’t even require an email to use, just a username and password :)
The internet doesn’t run on potential. It runs on actual fucking features.
The fact that I don’t see a mix of Mastodon, Lemmy, PeerTube, and other mediums on my front page just makes me angry at the lost potential of what this protocol is supposed to be about.
From what I understand, Piefed instances will have better support for Mastodon posts, and I believe it supports subscribing to Peertube channels already
(something that Lemmy still doesn’t support…)Edit: It does support Peertube!You can subscribe to Peertube channels from Lemmy since a very long time. Recently there has been a problem with federation on the Peertube side, but that will be fixed soon.
Ah, my bad. Thanks for letting me know! Edited my other comment to reflect that.
