Literally hundreds of civilians killed to rescue 4 hostages. I don’t know what happened but I can guarantee we will be hearing more about it.

Not a huge fan of the title but this is breaking news and I think the AP can be trusted to at least get the basics right.

Love to see unique features for piefed. So many different ways to tackle “threadiverse” as a project and I think we’re all better off with some experimentation

If anybody’s interested in signing up for the rolling beta, here’s the link

Seems like it’s less a problem with pixelfed and more an issue with pixelfed.social?

The major difference is that it’s modular. So you can pick and choose which traditional social network features you want to use.

Have you checked out [email protected]

Well my own usage so far consists of a mastodon list with my favorite peertube, nebula, and other video creators. Since it’s chronological, it roughly serves the same purpose as the OG YouTube subscriptions page.

The creator is a nebula employee. Don’t believe it’s officially sanctioned, but they aren’t distributing videos, just notifying of new releases. Should all be in the clear based on my limited knowledge.

Love the idea is a “similar communities” button but I don’t know if I’d say searching communities is really that hard.

I think there’s some pretty low hanging fruit here, but most of it is platform specific.

On Mastodon, I think this looks like a revamp of the for you section. As it stands the posts are mostly human curated and the people section is mostly a static list. That is, if you’ve scrolled through the list once, that list will not be different next time unless you’ve followed a significant number of people outside of it. It would be nice if it at least showed you the next 20 or so by the same metric.

On lemmy, I think making the functionality provided by the trending communities community a first class feature would go a long way.

Unmanic to optimize your library in the background. Encoding things to x265 can buy you a huge amount of space.

Edit: Reading again i see that you’re on a pi. Not at all sure what the video encoding performance is on those.

#BlackMastodon is a thing. I think there’s also a guppe group?

Regarding Sup: dansup has mentioned that he’s put the project on hold until the new EU guidelines around interoperability (targeting whatsapp) are available.

There are a couple of prpeertube creators that make short form content

I think it’s worth considering a model where one might be expected to provide hosting for their own video. Certainly not necessary now but probably will be if/when video on fedi takes off

This is super exciting. I think one of the things a lot of people are missing here is the potential for wikis to augment existing fediverse communities. Reddit’s killer feature has always been the massive treasure trove of information for hobbyists and niche interests. There is huge potential in the fediverse to take advantage of that sort of natural collaborative knowledge building process.

It’s normal that there will be forks and alternatives

This is not the sentiment you have previously expressed in direct response to these forks and alternatives. Thinking specifically about your activity in the sublinks announcement posts.

I am not sure I’d be using any mass communication platform that is primarily developed and/or funded by any government.

One could argue you’re using one now.

for users to migrate it could be dead on arrival

Sublinks isn’t meant to appeal to users, it’s meant to appeal to admins.

A cohesive culture has definitely formed distinct from the rest of the fediverse. I think microblogging as a paradigm kind of lends itself to this but Lemmy certainly has a distinct culture as well.
