Things I boost don’t necessarily have to be things I agree with. They can just be things I want people to see.
Make sure you’ve got a bio or introductory post when you want to follow me.
@unterzicht that IS it’s use. It is primarily used in show-off posts where people present their systems so that people in the replies can get a quick glance on what they’re running.
The reason this is big news is because neofetch was by far the biggest project of it’s kind
@Benjamin its basically automatic e-mail in the sense that it doesn’t matter what e-mail provider you’re on but you can still contact each other across mail providers
Here you can substitute mail providers with social media platforms, and it happens ✨automagically✨, without anyone doing anything
To put this into perspective, I see hundreds of posts that aren’t by people that signed up on wetdry.world on my home feed, and I can still interact with them, yet wetdry.world is my home.
Maybe the little explanation video on https://fediverse.info helps
No I am not saying accounts are portable, but the content is. Your mastodon app has no idea how to handle Lemmy, and your Lemmy app has no idea how to handle Mastodon
BUT the servers that you’re signing up to? They know how to share the content between eachother. That is because they all use the ActivityPub standard to exchange posts and account data.
@Benjamin they’re all connected :)
I’m writing to you from mastodon (hence all my replies start by pinging you)
Lemmy does format some things in lemmy-specific ways, but other than that all our posts can be viewed anywhere, and I can slap any lemmy thread into my mastodon UI to reply to whoever I want
@Benjamin account removal can be done on https://my.telegram.org if I recall right.
Also…someone OTHER THAN ME linked this? That’s rare
Matrix is currently in a bit of a weird place as funding is low. Its alright, but dont expect Telegram-level UX. Element is also re-making their mobile apps as part of Element X.
@Benjamin the wha-
okay here’s an unshortened one
I usually share the shortened one because cryptpad links tend to be large

@Benjamin oh there are other reasons not to use it
(full disclosure: that is my document, I maintain and update it)
@matcha_addict you can make it however big or small you want 🤷
@Benjamin Telegram. They all moved to fucking telegram.
@matcha_addict the keyboard experience is quite literally just your device’s keyboard
