I’m surprised there’s no fedi version of Facebook but I’m also sure as the fediverse evolves we’ll see the return of personal websites but with activitypub-based social features.
They’ve been extremely transparent about this:
Nobody’s mentioned Homarr or CasaOS but if you want an out of the box “Just works” but still open source experience they’re the best bet.
This might be the most lemmy comment I’ve ever seen.
If you’re not familiar, 404 Media is definitely worth supporting. High quality, no-bullshit journalism.
Yeah it’s not the same. Corporations suck in a different way.
Got a link? I’d be curious to read that.
It’s not hopeless! The Fediverse is AFAIK entirely nonprofit, and smaller instances means more moderator eyes on everything, too.
If I had to predict the future, I think apps like Reddit, Twitter, Tioktok, etc will be the places for entertainment and the Fediverse will become the place for conversation.
Reddit has been trying hard for years to move beyond being a discussion forum to another mindless scroling app.
The reason is because in the time people read one discussion thread they only see one ad, but scrolling memes, etc they will see many more. It makes the ads much more valuable.
The reason is because they use that stuff to help determine if you’re a bot.
reCAPTCHA Enterprise interacts with the customer backend and webpages to trigger a sequence of JavaScript, HTML, and token authentication events.
Uhh… why did you just paste the comments from the video without the answers?
It seems like we agree on the facts, and I certainly won’t disagree that it’s worse now, but I would characterize Twitter’s (pre-Musk) response to extremism as “measured, lacking and lethargic”, before I would use “imperfect”, which still implies “pretty good” and from my perceptive it was not good enough to make me want to use it. I think maybe we just have a different tolerance for hate speech.
They absolutely were, without question. That said, there’s nothing this guy can do to make that happen on Mastodon instances he doesn’t own.
You’re correct. ActivityPub is an open protocol and Meta, or more importantly anyone else, can use it however they want.
While TrueNAS is great I found it to be significantly more NAS-oriented than a general “home server”. It’s certainly capable just very into the weeds with permissions, users, groups, etc. It’s not very noob friendly. If you aren’t primarily dealing with a ton of data, you might want to look into something like CasaOS or Homarr which make sharing data on the network very “set it and forget it” and are more focused on apps.
Also recommendations include PiHole, Immich, Qbittorrent, Plex (or Jellyfin) obviously, SyncThing, Duplicati, Home Assistant (although you probably want to run that in a VM) and Tailscale and NGINX proxy manager for accessing outside the house.
it’s always some people who used some ancient client in 2008 and never bothered to try again.
The biggest hurdle for widespread adoption of open platforms, imo.
They are very noisy. Lots of clicking and whirring. Enterprise drives are not the same as consumer drives. As others have said this is a great price but I would not recommend using them in a room you are trying to focus in.
It’s centralized and for-profit. They will have to do ads eventually or shut down.
