I’ve heard someone comparing it to the famous rubber duck.

What phone os do you have?

For me android automatically blocks 90% of spam calls nowadays. I can see them in the phone history, but my phone don’t ring for them.

Not at all. I have my instance sitting on 100MG of RAM and 0% cpu usage. There’s only 3 users that barely use it, but there it is.

It scales by number of users.

It’s true that it’s a resource hog, due to being written in python (who the hell though that), but it all depends on usage.

I selfhost a matrix instance just for myself and my bots. And send myself notifications to the phone client element. I can even trigger a fake VoIP phone call for really important stuff.

Notifications come through as any other message app notification. And calls do the same.

In order to get all notifications and not destroy your phone battery I found out that you need to download the google play version as you need google services for notifications.

I doubt is satire as the project was truly linked with trans groups.

Probably they just count as experience things that are probably not truly experience or maybe there’s a lot that’s being untold there.

Just last week I was setting up a matrix server.

I considered conduwuit but I had a feeling this might happen. Happy to stick with Synapse. It’s just a shane that it’s written in freaking python.

I agree. Straight up fascist out. Nobody need a fascist. But I do miss liberals (in the european sense) or conservatives /republicans (from US perspective).

It gives little more variety to a place.

For instance it would be nice to have people defending tariffs and getting some discussion on those, see different points of view and such. I like to be intellectually challenged, and it’s hard sometimes when I agree with most people here in most topics and in the ones I don’t agree people tends to be very hostile. I think that when most people think the same way that leads to some feral behavior to those who write any different opinion.

I don’t mean fascist or nazis, obviously ban those. But, you know, the real ones. Not the “everyone who is slightly more right wing than myself is a nazi”. I’m not right wing but I do enjoy the company of normal right wingers. And here sometimes it gets a little boring knowing that for most things everyone has the same opinion on most issues.

While nice to have and good for people who need it. I won’t think it would have an impact of very high statistical relevance in userbase growth.

As people with visual disabilities (the most common disability that needs adaptations for a social media service) is not a massive demographic group.

Userbase being more friendly towards different ideologies.

People don’t want to admit it. But this is a very toxic place for people who are not of a very specific ideology.

And when confronted about it the usual response is “I don’t want people thinking like that here” which is a rephrase of “I just want people like me here”. Which is ok, but inconsistent with a wish for growth as the idea of people turning your ideology because you think you are so convincing it’s a fantasy.

I’ve been thinking for years. Maybe there’s a way to do a collaborative crawler and indexer. In a similar way on how collaborative science is done. And probably using p2p protocols.

Get a bunch of people together to create the perfect search engine in these dire times.

I don’t know fully what’s they are doing. But here’s my workflow with watchtower.

I have a cron task that runs watchtower every day on monitor-mode and only-once one time a day. That creates a list on what containers can be uograded. They using shourrr (it’s already integrated with watchtower it’s just an environment variable to do this) I send myself a message to my phone informing me of what updates are available. If I see fit to upgrade everything I just run watchtower once without monitor mode to upgrade all. I have pendant to automate this last part in a way that I just answer to the bot that’s informing me of the updates and should apply the command without having me ssh into the server. But as for now I have to ssh and run a script I have at hand to launch the upgrade with watchtower.

There are some problematic containers that I don’t want to upgrade this way. For those I have their compose files version locked and I upgrade them manually when I want.

This. Except for a few projects that have given me headaches for an automatic update before (I’m looking at you Jellyfin). Those I have them locked to a version and only upgrade when I think it’s truly stable (spoiler: stable release was not stable) and when I know I will have time to fix things that may broke.

Then the moderator would ban you because the mod agrees with the other person. I have seen it happen. (Not to me luckily, but I’ve got a post deleted and the post insulting me was upvoted by the same mod who deleted my post).

And not fron small communities, some of the bigger here on Lemmy.

Moderation is a bit lacking. Which is understandable as few people want to invest time in moderating.

With the aggravated issue of moderators being far less ““professional”” here than in Reddit. At least in some big reddit communities there was a big admin team that tried to keep things more or less professional (not that they would always achieved that but they tried). Here mod teams are very small and mods mostly just got their position by just being here first, so I have found out a lot of very biased moderation and mods just using mod tools and position of authority to defend their own particular opinions.

If you are debating something with a moderator alt account, or with a moderator friend you are in for some unfairness going your way. At least that have been my experience trying to debate even very small deviations from a Community main political stance.

Also a lot of people do not consider they could be on the wrong or that other person can have a total different valid definition of what’s right. And just take this “I’m obviously on the right so I can be an as*****” approach.

Normal day.

Some things made me nervous because I need to make a big decision soon. But I also got this afternoon (CET here) free when I was expecting to have it occupied so that’s nice.

Probably another big tech would fill the gap before. Sad, but that’s the most likely outcome.

I would say (and I know that is a controversial opinion this one) that the fediverse itself is a little to blame here. Not because the technical difficulties to join in that are not that bad, but because most people in the fediverse want everyone here to have a very characteristic political ideology and to be very passionate about it. Like 90% (exaggerating here)of what I read here and in mastodon are politics (more so politics from a very specific pov), even after I made a big effort to get away from political communities.

Most people have not that particular ideology or are not that passionate about it, so they take a look of what’s going on here and take the sane decision of not joining in.

I actually think that’s the bigger impediment for the fediverse to become mainstream.

Latin America. They are not aligned with NATO or Russia/China. And the level of life quality have greatly improved in later years. In fact many migrants feel cheated when coming here because they thought europe was better than it actually is in comparison.

My country used to be a fascist dictatorship and there’s still plenty of people alive who were educated on false information and a different fabricated version of history.

Certainly missinformation is not anything new.

And people should prevent it and solve it the same way it has always be solved. Taking the missinformators out of power.

It’s not a tech issue. It’s a political issue.
