That’s ok. I knew it wouldn’t hit the same the second time around, even if the choices were meaningful, so I never went back to it. It remains perfect in my memory

I spent six weeks in Argentina by myself, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. I just went wherever I felt like as I felt like it.

This is widely documented in hundred of articles?

A reasonable article would acknowledge that this

Cool. Now tell the story about similar technologies used by the nations invading Iran

The Walking Dead (Telltale’s version). I expected zombies, and a bit of action and tension from trying to escape them and survive. What I didn’t expect was the emotional rollercoaster, and the genuine emotional reaction it got from me. One of the most powerful gaming experiences I’ve had.

Homes. Things like the Tiny Homes project make a huge difference to peoples ability to get back on their feet and access other support channels

That was my bad. I was espousing federation, not AP specifically, and I see that federation is built in to the idea

It seems to me that activity pub could still be useful for a couple of reasons. If you live in the suburbs of a city, then bring able to also access an instance for your suburb and your city might be useful.

And if you live in multiple locales, or if want to stay connected to your old home town etc

It would be weird to host an instance without using it…

lbz and pbz were defederated from lemmynsfw for hosting communities like that, and we are defederated from fedinsfw for the same reason

Generative AI was a scam

So is Substack…

Yeah, that’s what I meant too. Men and women almost universally have different vocal patterns though, even when they ostensibly have the same accent.

All of them?

Some of us don’t mind, as we use platforms that aggregate all of the cross posts in to one place, and show all of the comments together!

Ah. That’s disappointing. It does explain why it was running on a mastodon instance though.

Yep, but to get those features you have to access it from the piefed/lemmy instance. gup.pe/friendica style groups predate lemmy though, and were designed to be accessed from your mastodon/fediverse account, rather than being signed in to directly.

The ones we have installed respond to IR signals from your TV remote. It doesn’t matter what button you use on the remote, just point the remote at the smoke alarm and it will turn off

gup.pe reborn

It is more complicated than that. Vulnerable minorities don’t thrive in spaces where they’re endlessly playing whack a mole with bigots and trolls.

I didn’t leave Twitter for the fediverse because of its network. I left even before Musk, because Twitter was full of hate that the admins didn’t feel the need to action.

Your preference is just that… And as long as there is room for your preference on the fediverse without it being the only way to experience it, we can both have the experiences we want.

The numbers of fediverse users have more to do with onboarding, VC funding for marketing and the inherent nature of federation itself than it has to do with defederation policies
