Ye I was not finding it but it’s probably because maybe without federation the setting doesn’t pop up :)

Yes… But where u.u

In order from little to bigger:

• any ssg like Zola or pelican
• mataroa.blog
• writefreely
• ghost
• lemmy :)

Gandi got sold 2 times

Basically the company went from “no bullshit” to “just another asset for some capitalist fund who only cares about extracting as much value as possible”

It would be so good to have a no profit owned or cooperative European domain seller

but wakest was answering to that comment, so i think it’s right to not be federated on lemmy if the parent is not

The filter is being a pet peeve of mine too these days

I would like to be sure that I’m filtering stuff but looks like filters on miniflux and freshrss just work on future articles so I should do something like put a filter to an rss feed I control and then post and check if it works

Ok i took the time to write from my masto under that post and it did show also on Lemmy

I’d say it’s something about either lemmy.ml or mastodon.social or both

The mastodon instance I use is on 4.3.5, mastodon stable looks 4.3.6 and mastodon.social is on 4.4.0-nightly…

I love software, it also works for me now :D

To not let this pass as a random problem of my instance, yesterday night i also did a test with opening the feed in the browser itself and also addind the feed to reeder (the ios app) without using freshrss

So i don’t think it was on my end, unless it was something bigger like routing (i did not try via vpn, didn’t think it was necessary)

I don’t force any user agent so idk which one is the default (it’s freshrss on Debian on a raspberry in my house)

Idk if this is still possible but 2 years ago I was blocked by a person that I was trying to mod and so the only thing I could do was deleting the whole convo+post lol (obviously they went on mastodon to shit-talk the whole server)

The broader you make a community, harder it will be to feel like you can make a very specific question and it will also be harder to find so we will never have niche content

Pick your poison, I’d go for the slow but steady usefulness

Try to be informed about the stuff you can have an impact on

For example on my rss feed I just wiped out most of the non EU stuff. It’s ok to know that there are wildfires somewhere in the world but being overexposed is really just toxic

I can organize here in Italy, not even the whole of it but my region and the cities I spend time in. It’s much better to know what my little city council is discussing about rather than any even major event but so far from me.

Unluckily, social media doesn’t help too much with curating the feeds but as others said try to work more on mutes and filters. Don’t forget that getting informed is just one tool for change, do not get too high on it :)

Edit and P.S. : it’s also much easier that on social networks driven by engagement algorithms the posts that travel the most are the ones that cause hate/rage and sex or generally emotions easier to exploit online. Newspapers themselves tend to post more negative stuff. It’s just a human bias, take it into account and watch around yourself to find the positive stuff of life

Just avoid following climate and collapse x)

I myself do not follow them lol

Thank you for taking your time to answer for me!

yes, hence why i used a dot before it. i guess it’s not clear and i should edit

tell me if it’s better now :)

After the API exodus sure got worse but I don’t see much difference from the reddit-before-that

Also, there are still a looot of power users still on reddit. So yes quality got worse there but it’s not like the bests came here anyway

Sad tho.

“Random” events of “evil”. Basically I think we’ll never reach something like 0 murders, 0 rapes, 0 stealing for little greed and so on. Or even 0 addiction (edit: i’m not including addiction to the previous list of crimes, i wanted to add it as another class of issues for we will never reach a true 0)

We are very very far from the ideal situation tho, there is a looot of margin of improvement

Like your alcohol thing in the post: ban only makes it worse and still now you (as US, not you OP) have a very weird relationship with alcohol with the thing that minors cannot touch it and people have to drink from a paper bag lol. Let’s say that you are not really trying hard to improve the situation. We’ll never reach 0 alcoholists but society is not in a good shape and alcohol is cheap so ye

I’m not sure I’m explaining myself well enough.

That was my point since the beginning and you are not the first one repeating it lol

Free as in freedom not just as in beer

And paying for distribution is not the same as paying for the software…
