We're the generation that learned to troubleshoot bc we had to. If we wanted to play that shiny new game or app, we had to actually get it running first.

Anyone who thinks federating with threads for the content is Naive, and should just join threads instead. Unfortunately it seems like Lemmy Worlds instance controller is naive as well based on this post. Looks like its time to instance hop again or self host. Shame too bc I liked what LW had the potential to be, but I'm vehemently disappointed with the instance owners attitude towards corporate coming in, which already has me looking elsewhere for a home. If LW doesn't defed, ill self host and defed with LW and any other meta connected instance. I cant believe so many of yall are so naive to meta and EEE. Those who dont learn from history are doomed to repeat. One only has to look at xmpp(rip) and google for evidence.

You could've always done this, infinity has always been open source. However using this just means that you and others will be paying reddits ridiculous pricing for their own api access JUST to use infinity. Which iirc is gonna be around $25 a month per user depending on amount of use. Everytime you open that app itll be charging you for data..

This seems popular to some users now but I don't see it going over to well when the bill comes due. Id rather take my chances going all in on Lemmy and helping support an instance with a community. Decentralization ftw.

But even having the ability to do these things speaks volumes. With lemmy you actually have the option do to do all these things, and yeah they take effort for the amount of control you want. Limiting yourself like that is limiting your own freedoms yourself in exchange for convenience. Im actually considering running my own instance just for fun.

Let's have a mass organized bake sale. We'll call the lemon squares "Lemmy Squares". People will love it.

I couldn't happily imagine such a future personally. Thankfully its possible to block instances without having to pay for the privilege.

Just doing MDMA isnt gonna help, especially if overdone. You gotta do the actual therapy work. The MDMA sets your brain in the right state, but the therapy and introspection are what helps.

Ive had personal experiences with mdma and doing introspection, a long time ago. I managed to gain clarity in places i lacked it before. But that wasnt targeted at helping with my Autism struggles.

For Vets with PTSD, they describe it like, the neural pathways in your brain are like water breaking down a path in a rock. The MDMA allows your brain to break those pathways and create new ones.

Don't forget you can always self host one's own instance and access the larger fediverse from it, without Ads. So because it's open source, itll always be easy to access the fediverse with an Ad free experience. A personal instance doesn't need to grow, scale, host 40gb of data, or have any content at all either so it doesn't come with the issues of a public instance.

Or Facebook who can spend money like no other, shove their users in, and will just control the whole thing.

This just doesn't make sense at all. IF Fb ever added ActivityPub support (it would take a huge rework of their format) but instances would just defederate from it like they did with ad supported instances. And then what is even the point of FB ActivityPub support if their exiled.

I disagree. So many people used Google and Reddit congruently as a sort of "hack" for finding solutions quickly, not just tech based but for any and everything. Google even announced that their search has worsened since the reddit changes. For it to be noticeable by Google and enough the publicly comment on it, I'd say it was driving alot more traffic to reddit than your thinking. It also brought in non daily active users to the site, potentially turning them into daily active users.

Tldr, if this was hurting Google enough to notice, reddit is definitely feeling the pain. 😁

Thanks so much for sharing this!

I'll admit I wasn't familiar with the free tier. But if it gains any kind of traction though it'll go away too. They've vehemently shown through their actions that they want 3rd party apps gone, nsfw content gone and ads served.

Personally I'm much more excited for Sync for Lemmy.

People who use recreationally are taking way too high a dose and way too often compared to what they are doing with the Vets in PTSD. Its a controlled session with a therapist. They aren't taking so much that they feel the withdrawals from it. The Yt video i mentioned discusses and this, the rave scene, and the negative effects it had on abusers.

What does everyone think of Palia?

They are comparable in the way they are both large archives of information. The thing about reddit is that there was alot of information on obsure topics.

Yeah because some asshole thought he needed the cats more than I did 😮‍💨 and gave up not even half way.

Corporate threads federation will literally kill lemmy. Again EEE. Google killed Xmpp the same way. And if your naive enough to believe otherwise you should just join threads instead.

I remember reading somewhere long ago that the shield tv had the processing & gaming power of an Xbox 360. The shield tv shares the same chip as the Switch, And those games are X360 era. In practice though it doesn't seem to work very well.

Yeah I'm not thrilled about that, probably gonna be filled with paid content. I like slower paced games like that though, and like the social aspect as long as it isn't neutered.

This wouldnt be as much of as issue if Lemmy had better support for connecting with other instances and their communities.

Absolutely!

Im excited for 8bitdo n64 controller internals to turn the controller into Bluetooth for Android and Linux. And switch & windows i guess too.
