Do you know exactly what Discord track?
Can someone give me an easy to understand example of what they are proposing? Assume that I don’t allow them to install any software/tool that helps them track me/my device.
I saw this comment and found it helpful but its still not clear to me
At its core, it establishes software components called "attesters" that decide whether your device and/or browser is "trustworthy" enough - as defined by the website you are trying to visit. Websites can enforce which "attesters" users must accept, simply by denying everybody access who refuses to bow down to this regime; or who uses attesters that are deemed "inappropriate"; or who is on a platform that does not provide any attesters the website finds "acceptable".
In short: it is specifically designed to destroy the open web by denying you the right to use whatever browser you want to use, on whatever operating system. It is next-level "DRM", introduced by affiliates of a company that already has monopolized the browser market. And the creators of this "proposal" absolutely know what they are attempting here.
Very nice write-up. Was it fast for you to use? Notion has gotten quite slow for me on mobile
I still do not understand how their sync work, based on their description:
synced in your local p2p network
Can someone please explain this to me?
Their FAQ is pretty good , but it still does not answer that question
While looking good on desktop (based on screenshots), it is definitely not designed for mobile. See below
According to Lemmy documentation, if they don't block a server, it means they are federating (aka talking using ActivityPub protocol) with that server.
Lemmy has three types of federation:
- Allowlist: Explicitly list instances to connect to.
- BlockList: Explicitly list instances to not connect to. Federation is open to all other instances.
- Open: Federate with all potential instances.
Federation is enabled by default.
It means Meta could in theory talking right now with instances not blocking them as part of their testing.
I don't know why they could not just block in the first place, then unblock/allow later if it makes sense.
Sorry I asked the wrong question. I’ve updated it. My question should have been specific to Threads federation. You can see my clarifie point of view in another comment
Would this change your answer
You made me realise I asked the wrong question. It’s all about Threads. I updated the title and my question. Thank you
As seen on my other comments, I want Lemmy to grow so we can have diverse communities and diverse viewpoints. Why would Threads users join Lemmy if they can just subscribe to instances federating with them. That is why I don’t want to post on instances federating with Threads anymore
I also don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments
Would you still post to lemmy.world or you would create another community on lemmy.ml where Threads is blocked, if you were in my case?
They will federate with Threads. If I continue posting on lemmy.world, Threads will benefit from it and Threads users would never join Lemmy because they could subscribe to our communities. But I also don’t want to split my niche communities
What if I don’t want to post on lemmy.world anymore, because I don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments.
I want people to come to Lemmy for its contents. Why would Threads users join Lemmy if they can subscribe to our communities instead?
I thought I made my question clear
Should I continue contributing to my niche communities on Instances I do not share my view with, or build similar communities on other Instances?
For example runeterra community only exists on lemmy.world, but I don’t want to post on lemmy.world anymore, because I don’t want Threads to benefit from my posts/comments. I want people to come to Lemmy.
Should I create a new runeterra community lemmy.ml instead (lemmy.ml blocks Threads)? What would you do?
Not sure when accounts were redesigned but in my version (0.1.0 11) Accounts now show a list of accounts, whats the current account and Add button on top, not inside any account settings (it was before)
I believe eventually we would be able to move, set defaults, etc. the dev team is probably working on more important matters right now
Mammoth has a For You tab and I found it quite useful
