D’ata with a glottal stop? Savage.

It was something, but I forgot.

Oh that guy resurfaced? I assumed he was dead.

Just do it!

Same. I’m enjoying the experience. I was surprised how seamless it went.

I can’t tell if I’m just too deep in the fedi-culture weeds, or if the article really is confidently ignorant

Prolly both :D

Lighthearted comment: Does the topic come up so often that you have created your own copy-pasta? :D

The parent must be intelligent, well read, a good teacher and not an extremist.

And they must be self-reflected enough that homeschooling poses a severe risk of stunting your childs development, however well-intentioned. So in theory, if they were intelligent, well read, a good teacher and not an extremist, they’d send their children to school.

Who’s doing what where?

Cheers! I should have really found that when looking on github, my bad.

which was and is developed by communists

Is that so? I didn’t find any information on that from a quick search. Not an “attack”, genuinely curious.

Well… in that case, the meme is at least correctly used. That was my main concern anyways :')

You must realise you’re holding a very fringe position that’s more a conspiracy theory and will be considered trolling, right?

It’s multi-layered and tedious to write down on the phone. Prolly easier to ask you some questions: How do you think this meme’s formula works? Do you beleive it to be factual that China isn’t authoritarian and that North Korea is not andictatorship? If not, do you know anybody who has ever claimed this?

I’m confused.

Luckily there’s still the trick of not using Edge. Who knows for how long.

Cheers for the lengthy explanation!

Lol. Truth Social using Mastodon seems so ironic.

I’ve just “joined” the Fediverse a few days ago. I’m somewhat tech-savy I’d say. I still find a lot of it confusing.

"Most people don’t conceptualize it like that; they conceptualize it like the postal service. " I think this was and still is in part true for me.

There’s the term “Fediverse”, which suggests that there’s one continuous “universe” of things. But actually - and please correct me if I got this wrong - there’s just servers connected/interlinked with other servers, which (strictly must, due to how it works) form bubbles/webs or islands of all sizes.

There are practically no postal service bubbles, because I can send mail to anyone I’d realistically wish. There are different postal service providers, but a “-verse” term would be better applied to postal service (-> “Postalverse”) than to federated servers, imo.

So ideally as a noob coming from reddit or twitter, I’d like to know what the biggest bubble of connected servers is and where I can enter.

A thing I haven’t figured out yet is why I can’t find a decent feed feature on Mastodon. On Lemmy there are local/all filters for communities a server is federated with, if I understood this correctly. My mastodon home instance (mastodon.social) doesn’t seem to have a feed, really. There’s a “trending” filter, but it has very few posts - afaik just the ones I specifically subscribed to - and it doesn’t differentiate between local and all federated servers.

Am I doing it wrong? :P

I’m expecting to have filters like in Lemmy, where I can just consume anything new, trending or controversial.
