This is a reasonable response if you look at this situation in a vacuum. But sadly the open source community got burned a bunch of times already by big private corps. Of course they dont destroy all open source. If it helps them they actually help develop it and only try to overtake it in the democratic sense to gain the most voting and controlling power. But Facebook is absolutely not in a benefit of the doubt situation. They need to show a hell of a lot of good faith and need to be a tiny enough fraction of the userbase in the fediverse to be trusted in my opinion.

Wow didn't know about the chat moderation. Haven't spun up my server since a year or so, but good to know for when the next cycle of Minecraft gaming sessions hit again.

What about peertube? Since Twitter -> Mastadon | Reddit -> Lemmy Why not Youtube -> Peertube next :D

Im using the ansible matrix playbook with synapse for 3 users and a bunch of bridges. I choose this because I used to setup my docker container and everything myself up but i absolutely dont want any downtime on my communications just because a config is not perfectly setup. If im out and about i want to still be reached. The playbook makes it really simple and takes care of everything i want. Even things like sliding sync are setup with one line added to the config. https://github.com/spantaleev/matrix-docker-ansible-deploy

Yes please! even though jebora is nice. i would still prefere to swipe through the fediverse and customize the experience again

Well that's exactly what peertube does to distribute the load of serving the videos

such a great episode. love it

While it doesnt yet support Lemmy you might be interested in fedilab. Its goal is to combine all fediverse services into one app.

Jellyfin ftw ;)

The feature your interested in is called portable identities and is still in development, as far as i know. As far as matrix is concerned there is no difference between a personal chat and a group chat. There are rooms with members, thats it. Maybe the tool can kick your old identity after a successful transfer though. Hope this helps a little :)

Yes. Only your server needs to allow it. But lemmy.world f.e. does

Theoretically of course :D The Software side shouldn't be that hard either so if you get the motor somehow connected you could get fancy rumble instead of the haptic feedback which you can currently enable.

Thats awesome 👍

Synapse runs absolutely fine for me. But im only hosting for a few users

Have you tried snapcast. I've been quite successful with it.

Ohh yes!! Here we go. Slide was the App that started my Reddit Addiction. Best interface imo. Used it till a few weeks ago.

Currently going through all Android apps i could find and currently enjoying thunder with it's swiping to vote. Feels really great. - posted from thunder

I think its really great. Im using the server component together with spotifyd and then have the clients running on a few different devices. The sync is really good and you can adjust the delay of each device in the web interface. I mostly needed that because of a bluetooth speaker and a sound receiver which delays always by 250ms no matter the input. But now i have music blasting from every room and you can ealk from room to room and dont hear any delay. You can even have different soundsystems in the same room and it is not even noticable that there are different devices playing. I totally recommend it for a music multiroom setup. On my main pc i've even added it as an audio output device with pipewire :)

Wow how haven't i heard of hubzilla before? Wow autocorrect doesn't recognize it either😄 And thank you for the excellent write up.

Thats reall nice
