Most of them are joking about reuniting with their Chinese spy

In all likelihood, Red Note will be banned banned, probably before the Red Note devs add a built-in translate function.

The TikTok ban is something Mark Zuckerberg lobbied for. It’s not a good thing.

I’m on lemmy.ml and most of the communities I interact with are on lemmy.world. Most people are normal about it.

Calling China “West Taiwan” undermines Taiwanese independence.

That’s a misreading of the headline. Pro-LGBT speech IS allowed, but often suppressed.

DuckDuckGo and Kagi managed to figure this out. Bing is the odd one out.

They should probably just make that the default homepage at this point

“Gooigi”

“Green Man”

“The Italian”

“The Adjuster”

“L Man”

“LM”

“LLM”

And so on and so forth

If Bluesky goes, Lemmy will be my permanent home

This is only great news if you are Mark Zuckerberg and you want a near-monopoly on social media.

Check out Bazzite. It even has a GNOME variant.

Unfortunately, Bridgy Fed is currently opt-in. For a Bluesky user to interact with a Mastodon user, both have to follow the Bridgy Fed account. There is ongoing discussion about Mastodon instance opt-in, and making Bluesky opt-out.

I highly encourage you to participate in this conversation as a Mastodon user.

Well you can nicely ask your instance admin to block Bridgy Fed

Bluesky’s ActivityPub support is also leagues better than Threads because of Bridgy Fed. At least a Bluesky user and a Mastodon user can follow each other and have a back-and-forth conversation.

1. As far as I know, there aren’t any yet. Even if there were, I personally wouldn’t trust them for the same reason I wouldn’t use any Mastodon instance besides mastodon.social: if the PDS shuts down abruptly, your account is gone forever.
2. Bluesky and ATProto are designed specifically to hide the ways in which it’s decentralized.
3. I think this post does a good job visualizing how AtProto is different from ActivityPub.

This is for if you want to host parallel infrastructure. If you only want to self-host your own data, the instructions create a PDS are here, and the instructions to migrate an existing Bluesky account to that PDS are here.

I’m begging google to just bring back YouTube Premium Lite and expand it

Because there are a lot of dishonest people who claim they’re only criticizing Hamas, when they are actually calling for violence against all Palestinians.

“Harbu Darbu” is a perfect example of that.

People here just downvote anything they don’t like even if it’s in its own community
