Mastodon will still be the biggest fediverse service. It will remain a niche player in the microblog world, as Bluesky gradually becomes the big player by stealing users from the platform formerly known as Twitter.

The rest of the federverse will (hopefully) coalesce around fewer projects. Development is massively fragmented right now. I'm very curious to see which projects flourish, and which projects die.

I do not expect the federverse to unseat large corporate social media and become home to the masses. And I'm okay with that.

I wondered if the Turbo button on the computer really did anything.

 

We're supposed to be done with the heat waves by now, ma'am.

You need to grease some palms. Lay it on thick.

@[email protected] is a meme god.

@[email protected] keeps history alive and the Confederacy in check.

@[email protected] is our resident owl afficionado.

There are many others, of course, but I seem to notice these three a lot in my Subscribed feed.

Have you... have you never felt the joy of holding a great stick?

"Latitude" can mean freedom of choice, or scope of work, rather than position on the Earth. I think he's saying that it looks like the work of some low-level employee just doing what they're told without thinking much about it.

Instead of one central Reddit, imagine hundreds of mini-Reddits each with their own users, communities, rules, culture, etc. Now connect them all together so the users on each mini-Reddit can read/post/comment on any of the others. That basically how this works; each Lemmy instance is a mini-Reddit in a sea of peers.

Some brands do this continually. That's how Eddie Bauer or The Gap is constantly having a 30% off sale on one thing or another.

And it works. It's called "price anchoring."

Independence Day in theaters, Seinfeld on TV, The Macarena all over the place. Hell yeah, '96.

When viewing the lemmy.world main page it should be on the right side:

Note that it isn't visible when you a viewing a community.
This is normal behavior for the default Lemmy UI. Here is the Lemmy developers' GitHub page, where you can open issues to request changes: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui

 

He's all right now.

 

He's at the hospital waiting to be seen.

 

The nurse asked the rabbit, "What's your blood type?"

"I'm probably a type O," he replied.

 

Apologies for the low resolution. It was a mobile ad and all I could get was a screenshot.

 

... if we could all agree on the spelling of Chanukah.

 

He wasn't putting in enough shifts.

 

I had to get a running start, but I made it.

 

I guess I rub people the wrong way.

 

Good players are hard to find.
