Lemmy, which is pretty known for its opinionated devs The opinions of the devs have so far (at least as far as I know) not spread into the actual code though.

You can only watch like 10 videos without an account. And no search. No thanks!

Unfortunately that's just not how people work. I hate Tiktok and never used it, but I still want Loops to do well so people can have a far healthier and privacy-considerate service. There are many inventions huamns have made that do harm instead of good, but we have to learn how to minimize what we can as we depend on them. Forcing people to "not have Tiktok-like services" is not a solution.

It's a non profit and open source. But they do the same as WF, basically just an account that posts links to your blog.

Ah, makes sense!

The code of conduct is linked in the About page showed at the bottom of the page https://piefed.zip/coc

The way I understand it, no one should deal with those they don't want to, and that's best done bilaterally than having to deal with the choices of a central governance. And ActivityPub should go by this principle. Instances decide if they want relations with other instances. Users decide if they want relations with other users, communities, tags, and instances. If a given instance does something the user doesn't like, the user can pick another instance without inhering the choices of the previous, but still being able to access the environment and choose whom to deal with. Also, in a process, whatever it may be, it's the point that more parts depend on that if it fails, the more damage happens. While AT Protocol's PDS system helps lowering stress on specific instances, the tendency is to have only a handful few, as "they already do all the job", so if a PDS node fails, more strain goes to the others, if the site owner chose or remembered to put back up nodes. Meanwhile, if an instance dies on ActivityPub, just a small part of the environment dies, but even posts from that dead instance may keep propagating. It's a situation of safety versus server optimization, I'd say.

Not even that, per Louis Rossmann, you don't even get a full penny in ad revenue, just fractions of a penny. YT's ad revenue system is a scam.

If it was it was a complete coincidence, I literally just pulled something clickbaity out of my ass to illustrate the point. Just tells you how similar and boilerplate these headlines are becoming, though.

Why do you ask?

I thought as much, but thought I'd mention it. Do you have their server, or just the app? It's been a minute since I messed with it, but I think it had more features than the app.

Again, you are confusing how propaganda works. Propaganda doesn't "create" sentiment, it appeals to underlying sentiment. The working classes aren't morally just, nor gullible, nor intelligent, but instead rational, and therefore generally seek narratives that conform to their felt conditions. It's not that I confuse cause for effect, it's that I go deeper, the cause is actually the devastation in capitalism compared to socialism resulting in rising socialist sentiment, the effect is that the nationalists take notice and are trying to twist it into Russian nationalism, causing a struggle between Russian nationalism and socialist nostalgia playing out in the Russian Federation, the effect of which is large increases in CPRF membership and restoration of soviet monuments and nomenclature. Cause and effect do not exist in a vacuum, but are instead the result of endless spirals. Dialectics at work. Further, the CPRF supports Russia United against Kiev in the war, and has taken a stance of critical support. The fact that United Russia is doing better electorally right now doesn't mean communism is falling out of favor, but that communist analysis is rallying around the nationalists in Russia, and partisans aren't willing to advocate for overtaking the current system at the moment. This also explains why polling suggests that sympathies for the Soviet Union mostly (not fully) consist of cultural and military pride. Polling does not suggest this, it suggests that the increase in poverty, austerity, sex work, drug abuse, homelessness, and overall devastation of capitalism wasn't worth it for the broad majority of society. You seek to explain sentiment derived from real, material economic conditions via culture and vibes, when the culture and vibes are a reflection of the economic base. You did it earlier with the idea that the nationalists are creating soviet pride in a vacuum, ignoring economic conditions, and you do it here again. As for Ukraine, it's very convenient that you skip over the Banderite coup in 2014 where the nationalists took political power. Ukraine did used to be more pro-communist, especially in the Donbass region, but after the western-backed Euromaidan coup the nationalists took political supremacy and started punishing communists. Same for East Germany, after reunification the communists were punished in show trials and purged, leaving the right-wing West German political force with supremacy. This purge of leftists created a vacuum for far-right populists and nationalists, as capitalist devastation combined with a lack of leftist organizing results in the faf-right having free-reign. Overall, when we take your convenient framing of trends and insistence on explaining demographic shifts not by real, material conditions but instead by a battle of vibes and ideas alone, we have to question your entire thought process. It's clear that you view history not as a long process that progresses in spirals, but as static snapshots, and the ideas held by the people not as coming from their real conditions economically but instead as beamed from above, and these failures in analysis are why you come to incorrect conclusions.

In addition, some hashtags you could follow on Mastodon-like softwares are #fosdem, #fosdem26, #socialweb and #fediverse. There's a lot of stuff happening and watching these hashtags and hanging out on matrix when you're attending remotely gives you a little bit of a feeling of being there.

Weird must be my setup then, thank you! EDIT: Looks like their DNSSEC config might be incorrect which was causing my failures.

fedidb.com reports what the instances' nodeinfos state. Where do you get what the servers themselves report, other than their nodeinfo? https://fedidb.com/resources/data-sources
