How do you feel about people joking about and using 404 far off from HTTP?

Also: yay, AMAs have finally arrived. Who’s gonna verify your identity, though?

That phrase makes perfect sense, though

Yes but 99 is also literally ninety nine, so the English ones should be 90+9 🤷‍♂️ don’t know about Spanish, though

Slightly related: someone needs to organize a celebrity AMA on Lemmy to let people know that there’s a new sheriff in town (or something like that).

Yeah, I’m still baffled by the fact that all these officials are still on Twitter.

I see where you’re coming from but to me anything related to programming goes.

If you don’t want that then point people to the right communities and delete unfitting posts. I guess that’s the only way to keep it clean. As a side effect, this may actually help other more specific communities in the long run.

… reached the €1 million mark — nearly five times more than a fundraising effort to help the 17-year-old's mother.

Are they trying to mock the kid‘s family or what?

I’d argue it’s 4*20+19 in French, though, otherwise you’d probably need to change some of the other 99 to 90+9.

The problems most often experienced by the participants included: "the system was slow," "the system froze temporarily," "the system crashed," "it is difficult to find things."

In case you were wondering what computer problems.

I’ve actually been using the Reddit app for quite some time now and I don’t get the hate. Regardless of that, the way Reddit handled all of this was enough for me to leave anyway. Hi Lemmy!

More people isn't always good. But imagine some organizations and journalists that for whatever reason still are on Twitter can now be persuaded to sign up to Threads. Well, now they're in the fediverse.

And if the content from Threads is overwhelmingly bad we can always defederate and the fediverse still isn't destroyed.

So, how do I picture the extinguish part?

Okay, if it'll never enable federation then all our discussions are obsolete!

yeah, that's kind of an issue. Many communities exist more than once on multiple instances. Then again, this can also be a benefit. Maybe one of them isn't to your liking -> choose another one. Or one of them goes down -> there's a backup.

And how will this extinguish the fediverse? We'll still all be here, won't we?

Truly insane

wtf

Welcome, wefwef.app can be installed on your home screen and it's awesome!

Entirely possible, yes.

I’m kind of an agnostic, so naturally my point of view is: it’s hard if not impossible to tell.

I don’t really believe in a soul but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was such a thing. Maybe we’re all going back home after we die, maybe we just stop existing. Maybe it’s both. It’s hard to tell.

I like this answer. Thanks!

Will people come?

it's intended to be a highly reliable little instance. For now it's closed, though, until I figured out how to properly handle pictrs' internal state.

Yes, people are panicking because Meta is coming for us. They’re taking two opportunities with one strike:

1. fill the void that Twitter is starting to create
2. profit from the buzz around the fediverse

At the end of the day, more people in the fediverse is a win in my book. And if it becomes a problem there’s always defederation as a last resort.

There was a time when the typical redditor was a geek and weirdo 😅

My (short) take on this:

The whole fediverse lacks security right now compared to how email did in the 90s. This will only become a problem with mass adoption, again, like it did with email.

Good to start thinking about it early on, though.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks. I didn’t realize that first but it’s been starting to become clear.. now that I know I’ll have to adjust my setup accordingly.

Great analogy!

Not just a web app but a PWA which is much closer to a native app than a web app usually is.

zombo.social because I just learned about zombo.com

Interesting, thanks.

Oh, yes, totally forgot about windows93! 😃

I don’t really have an opinion right now 🤷‍♂️

beep beep - mylem.me checking in

sometimes I miss giving awards like on Reddit...

I mean, are companies really paying attention to user needs? Lol

Look, the user needs to see stuff that keeps them engaged. That keeps them coming back for more. Algos are designed to achieve exactly that. Your self chosen bubble of followings and interests may not be optimized for engagement and addiction.

No, the companies don't pay attention to user needs, they pay attention to the bottom line.

How is this legally binding? I still remember when people posted similar stuff all over Facebook. It means nothing.

Yeah, it not being saturated yet kind of invites more active participation IMO.
