  • Sure and there are pages helping you find communities, but there isn’t that one central instance that works as a frontend to all the decentralized content.

    I really wish to get a solution that builds of a free protocol, not on a single centrally managed instance of something that gives disproportional power to the instance hoster.

    I fucking love the idea of activity pub. Everything can talk to everything and offer different features for different requirements like forums, short messages or even video distribution.

    Internet, as much as anyone acts like it’s not, is in its childs steps. We should really make sure in 100 years it’s a communication tool for the masses, not another advertising platform.

    OSS and open protocols are so important for the future. Who cares if some people feel overwhelmed by adding an @instance to some handles?!

    Sorry for my bad English btw. ;)


  • Give it time I would say. Nobody cares about not having a central mail index, because everyone is used to how email works.

    Now with Lemmy we are changing the central approach of reddit to a decentralized one like email. It’s not a big problem if you ask me, it’s only that people don’t like change. Still, I think it’s crucial that we stay with the decentralized approach instead of creating the same problems we had with reddit/facebook/twitter and the likes.

    We did it the wrong way nummerous times. This time, let’s be patient and please do it the right way for once.

    And don’t forget that the big corporations are already trying to undermine the new approach. Look at meta and threads for example.


  • Im most interested in encrypted homedirs for servers. Since all my collegues are to lazy to use encrypted ssh keys, i hoped that systemd-homed makes it possible to secure them from the root user.

    Is systemd-homed already useable for such usecase? If gnome will do the same for desktops, that would be a big plus, thinking about firefox profiles and such. Hopefully also using pam or kerberos for decryption.

    I’ll look into fuse though, thanks for the hint








  • I robs your soul like facebook on steroids. I’m glad I got over the idea of finding someone online based on some self describing texts and vacation pictures.

    I feel like even on tinder it’s still the first impression that counts, but the first impression consists of meaningless bullshit, so even if you would connect with someone, the first impressions makes you loath meeting these peoples.

    I am glad that I’m not the only one feeling like that. Fuck off tinder, bumble and the likes.
