I don’t think he’s saying they’re better, he’s saying it’s a preference thing and he prefers dogs because you can bond more with them.
Cats are way easier to take care of because they don’t need as much attention, which makes them better for a lot of people
Do you mind sharing a bit about how you were able to take a long break? I’m really interested in doing something like this before I turn 30; I’ve been working since 21
It’s on the App Store now!!! https://apps.apple.com/app/id6450204299
Another case for defederating from threads.net (Meta’s Twitter replacement that supports ActivtyPub)
There’s been a lot of talk about Meta’s new twitter clone called Threads because it will federate with other ActivityPub apps. I’ve seen several posts about them possibly using the app as a way to embrace, extend, and extinguish ActivityPub.
Another more immediate concern I have is that Meta will now be able to harvest data from users of other ActivityPub social networks like Lemmy and Mastodon. If Alice on Threads follows Bob on Mastodon for example, that means Bob’s mastodon instance will send information about all of Bob’s posts and everyone who interacts with them to Meta so that Alice can see it.
This is a concern specifically with Meta and other big tech companies running ActivityPub-enabled servers, because their primary motive is to harvest user data to use for advertising. The scariest part to me is that users on networks like Mastodon specifically migrated to Mastodon to get away from big tech, and Meta is still able to harvest their data with Threads.
Another really big concern I have is that activity pub by definition shares all your posts with any instance that hosts your followers. So if you have a mastodon follower on FB’s activity pub/twitter replica, FB automatically gets your data even though you don’t use it

The type of things they get are
- Your profile
- Whatever you post
- Who interacts with your posts
Once I applied for a job via email and forgot to attach my resume 🤦 didn’t realize till the hiring manager emailed me back asking where my resume was. Got the job in the end though
Not sure that’s actually a problem. A lot of what’s wrong with traditional social media is the financial interests aren’t aligned with users interests.
As long as there’s enough donations to sustain hosting costs, there will always be a few volunteers to run the servers. And if one decides they’re done, lemmy will still exist because there’s other servers to go to.
The website definitely works, but it has weird issues with posts jumping around.
Also you can’t use gestures on the website, but you can on apps. Like swiping to comment/like, tapping to hide, etc). It just feels way smoother
Yeah Memmy is way better than the web app, and you can already do most of what you’d want to do. Definitely recommend checking it out
Fr I’m glad people have moved on from material design for iOS apps. Always felt like there was so much wasted space, and not enough gestures
That’s awesome! Thanks for hosting the server!
Reading more about how this works, sending out updates to each instance shouldn’t block the request from returning unless you have a config flag set to debug source.
It might be due to poorly optimized database queries. Check out this issue for more info. Sounds like there are problems with updating the rank of posts and probably comments too
Is the slowdown that it the instance has to send out updates about the comment to every other instance before returning a successful response? If so, is anyone working on moving this to an async queue?
Sending out updates seems like something that’s fine being eventually consistent
I’m still kinda new to lemmy, but it sounds like every post on all your communities get sent to your instance? And maybe every comment?
That’s probably fine for now, but when happens when one of the communities you follow gets a ton of users? I imagine you’d end up having to scale your self-hosted server even though it’s just you consuming the content?
That doesn’t seem sustainable. Not knocking your idea to self-host, more concerned with the scalability of lemmy
I feel like we should amend that new measure so that legislators are removed from office during the current term if they have too many unexcused absences. They should be replaced by another person if they’re not able to or interested in showing up to their job.
