I don't know why I keep hearing of security measures to stop someone sleuthing into bootloaders.

Am I the only person using Linux who isn't James Bond?

Tbf, maybe a shitstorm of racist rants will make advertisers pull their ads, and start a bunch of bad press.

Maybe /r/conservative were playing 4D chess all along.

I just made a lemmy.world account after hearing about the mods on lemmy.ml, but when I posted a picture of winnie the pooh, the comment was deleted, and I was marked as a bot. And it sounds like beehaw's not open for new registrations.

Oh well, guess I'll be a tankie now. :/

Arch, Void, Arch, Gentoo, Arch, Arch,...you're all making me feel like a basic removed.

Well it worked last time. Truthsocial.com is still up.

It's all a little arbitrary. When you create a new service (like Lemmy, or Mastodon), you can have them link with anything, in any fashion you like. The defaults are mostly sensible.

For example, I've just made a mastodon post asking /r/casual a question. Once that synchronizes across, you'll see the topic over there.

Nah - each service (Mastodon/ Pixelfed/ Kbin) requires its own app.

You can sign up to Mastodon, then follow the rest from there, but the experience won't be complete (no downvotes, for example).

Having 'no single source of truth' is part of the joy.

If you're not happy with /r/cars moderators banning everyone who drives a Skoda, then you're out of luck. Here in federation land, you can just go to a different lemmy.something/c/cars place.

Of course you can still follow and interact with all the /c/cars communities from any Lemmy instance (and interact a little from Mastodon).
