They need money for their greedy venture capitalists.

Nothing private in fediverse except when you are selfhosting yourself.

All timeline is all post from subs/community that you and your instance-mates subscribe. Each instance has different users, and different user follow different communities. Hence All timeline can be different for each instances.

No worries, Lemmy is alive. Lemmy and Fediverse in general is better to grow organically.

This is why I hate electron apps on Linux and Windows alike. Sadly, most apps are going electron, especially popular commercial apps. 😮‍💨

Their main goal is to kill twitter. Their second goal is to skirt antimonopoly laws when they succeed to kill twitter. Their third and optional goal is to starve twitter-like fediverse apps from users. They has loads of resource, if they can come with good and familiar ui without usual growing pains that fediverse has (server overloaded, client not ready), many non tech savy users will never look beyond threads. Thus robbing mastodon, calckey, pleroma, etc from potential users and attention.

Welp.. Gnome will lost many of their contributor/maintainer.. Well, at least KDE folks is backed by Novell(SUSE) and XFCE is purely maintained by community already. It seems Linux desktop is still safe. lol

I think the in the current implementation, your post views is not public. But any data you have is still accessible to your instance admin.

It has potential, bu I hope it will not become like those mainstream soc-med..
Fediverse is like a village where each denizen trying to self-sufficent and helping each others while mainstream soc-med is like train station or mall where users just come and go while giving money to its owner for their services..
We may need one or two mainstream soc-med to be alive to keep up with news or to socialize with normies, but we also need a place to retreat like current fediverse.
edit:typo

You can access lemdro.id from lemmy.world though. That js the beauty of fediverse..

I love Arch and Hyprland, but when I need to spin up some linux machine ASAP that can be used by normies I will install Linux Mint.

A fediverse specific glitch.

Fixed 3 minutes ago.. cool!

Btw I use EndeavourOS xD

I think there are benefit of killing twitter, mocking el*n and skirting europe regulation on moderation laws. But the worry is there, I hope the devs stand their ground and rejecting any doubious modification from meta on fediverse protocols.

Now all the things must be selfhot+fedi or die.. welocm to web 3.1.. 😆 (web 3 has been claimed by crypto scammer... sad.. 😅)

Nah, it is my MAIN reason using Arch-based distro. If not because AUR, I should still using rock-solid Linux Mint.. lol.. 😅

In terms of managing a social media sites, yes..

He only knows how to run business on non-competitive sector, otherwise, he is dumb.

Gnome is bloated. It needs seconds just to oprn start menu/app switcher/or something like that on my low end laptop.. :/
It also uses more ram at iddle.
