Even if they are coming, I don‘t think any of us which are already here will switch back. They should‘ve thought of this before they broke their platform.

We can already view PeerTube channels in the “Microblogging” tab, as that’s the way PeerTube federates to other services.

At least in theory that should be the case

I still prefer PeerTube.

(it’s part of the Fediverse. We’re also part of the Fediverse here on Kbin and Lemmy.)

NixOS can become quite complex, so maybe stay away from it until you know more about how to manage your system ;)

The other options you’ve mentioned here are good, but EndeavourOS is based on Arch, so that may be contradictory to what you’ve said earlier.

It isn’t just a fork, its a collection of tools and patches around wine tailored for a specific purpose.

DXVK, VKD3D and other components aren’t part of Wine or Proton’s Wine builds, for example. They’re extra tools used on-top of Wine.

I don’t really see Fedora maintainting a patched version of audacity as a fault of Flatpak, though.

Flathub is designed to allow developers to publish their own software in the way they intended. So Flathub and Flatpak are doing exactly what they’re designed to do

Let’s paraphrase to “CLI applications are quite cumbersome to use under Flatpak as per the current implementation”.

Unless you set up your own aliases, you’ll have to write out commands like flatpak run ..., and if you don’t know the package name yet you’ll need to run flatpak list --app first as well

I hope that in the future, Flatpak gets some improvements for exporting CLI utilities into the user’s environment.

Users upping permissions is not something that Flatpak is to blame for.

Flatpak has set the groundwork for sandboxing of desktop apps with a runtime permission system. People dont yet know how to properly use it.

The problem here is that most packages aren’t maintained by developers, but rather by independent package maintainers from respective distributions.

In my eyes, this adds another potential point of failure outside the control of the developer of a given tool.

Thank you so much for the consideration! <3

This wouldn’t work for the actual content however, as those are posted by individual users from all around the fediverse.

Exporting settings, moderators and alike might be feasible, though.

Your best bet right now is blocking the biggest NSFW instance, lemmynsfw.com

Hm, I find it somewhat annoying that right now, this is not really searching the Fediverse, but rather what we’ve come to call “the Threadiverse”, which is all about Reddit-like content aggregators.

In other words, I’d love an option to search different kinds of content, like instead of Threadiverse-stuff searching the most popular mastodon, misskey, or pleroma instances just to name a few.

On that note I highly suggest you read EFF’s “To save the News” articles, where they also go over why targeted ads don’t work. It’s a great read

Because these instances are often run as hobby projects and out of passion, not to be sustainable.

The Fediverse isnt corporate, we’re a community and nothing will change that. We don’t want to make money, we want to bring back what social media was supposed to be.

Additionally, it has become part of the culture of the Fediverse to regularly remind your peers to donate to your instance, as they’re who are running this all for our benefit.

@hariette@tech.lgbt is working on a client that is (currently) called Kmoon.

It might be renamed soon, but I’ve signed up for the beta and am currently waiting for an Android build 👀

I’d say this is for the best of us.

Even the existing moderators have started to acknowledge that Reddit is no longer a platform for the people, and it was just a way for Spez to make money all along, even saying that the years of content can be marketed and sold.

People often compare the fediverse to E-Mail, for a good reason

E-Mail doesn’t need to live all on the same server, or be made by the same provider. I can use ProtonMail, you can use GMail, somebody else can use Outlook, but in the end it doesn’t matter, as we can all talk.

The “Fediverse” - short for “The Federated Universe” - follows a similar concept, but it doesn’t do this over Email; The Fediverse does this using the ActivityPub standard instead.

Activitypub allows all the servers we have our accounts on (in your case kbin.social and in my case forum.fail) to talk to eachother so that content can show up and be interacted with on ALL servers.

This is also why I - someone from a different server/instance - can reply to your comment and up/downvote it if I want to.

This is essentially all you need to know to get started. To see where somebody’s account or a magazine/community is hosted, just hover over their username / check the magazine out. It should have something like @name@server.example. We are currently talking in @lemmyworld@lemmy.world for instance.

Kbin doesn’t seem to support this yet, at least I can’t find an option in the web interface or by appending .rss to a magazine’s link.

It’s not that we all can’t talk to eachother, but rather that Memmy has no idea how to login and interact with Kbin, but it DOES know how to login and interact with Lemmy.

Sharing posts between instances is handled by, well, your instance. It’d be really slow if each user had to share posts with eachother like a Torrent or something :P
