What about bash?

Let us know your thoughts! I’ve been using it for years. Definitely some jank, definitely not for everyone, but again it’s been pretty good for me. And if you really want you can run your own server.

Lol that’s an absolutely fair request. Have you asked on Element github? Sounds like a Mich needed feature.

Matrix via Element works great for me personally and it’s available now. :-D

Happy to have folks on e2ee matrix. It supports calling directly and group voice and video chat rooms quite well IMO. :-)

Cory is amazing. I interviewed him on Fireside Fedi and that dude has so many well thought out points. He changed my mind on Threads coming into the Fediverse.

This has been tried and tried again. The first time I remember seeing this was in the '90’s where a “free” dial up ISP was trying this. NetZero maybe? Didn’t work then, won’t work now. They’ll pay out so little it won’t be worth it. Don’t do it kids!

Thank YOU! :-)

Framasoft are incredible folks. I just did an interview with Booteille yesterday!

Folks can watch the interview here:

Friendica is what they want. I agree. And you can get all of your content inside Friendica and never leave. Follow mastodon folks, pixelfed folks, lemmy communities, peertube channels, etc.

Thank you so much! It’s nice to know others agree. I’ve been so concerned with all of this, thinking I’m the only one thinking this, but I’m not. We’re ALL thinking this. And I’ve been having an absolute BLAST. Not just for myself, but doing my Fireside Fedi show and even working towards setting up my nonprofit BT Free. We’ll see where it all goes. Maybe it just us, but at least we have each other. :-) Thank you for the kind words of support. <3

Every little bit counts.

Awesome! Thank you!

I’d say leave it. I don’t know about at Facebook, but lots of companies still have that data in their database. They just remove publicly facing versions or index to it. And even if they do remove it they’d have backups and wont go through every backup ever to remove your info. So you’ll always be in there. And even if for some reason they close, they’ll sell all that data to someone else. We have digital ghosts floating everywhere. Don’t give them anymore pieces of you. Just walk away and never look back IMO.

Sounds like a great idea

Silly question, I’ve heard of flair from the other place, but honestly never used it. Is their a flair explainer somewhere? Is it for posts only? Or do users get it to?

TY Sir!

Very sad. Good luck in whatever you do.

I’m looking and I’m not seeing a troll. I’m seeing someone that’s looking for help and seems to not really understand a lot of what’s around them buddy. And yes, I’ll defend people.

Why are you spending so much time responding aggressively to people.

And yes, I kind of assumed it was your instance.

If the person is a troll, then ignore them. Why do you feel you have to attack them? You’re not defending anyone by putting someone else down. Just because you don’t understand them, doesn’t make them a troll.

Downvotes are because a lot of folks are against ChatGPT and LLMs. We’re going through MANY information transitions in the last 40 years and yet another holy grail is difficult to swallow. If you want to ask ChatGPT that’s fine, but I’m trying to get folks to foster the Fediverse and make it more welcoming, more valuable, and heck just help people find us. Use the tools you want, absolutely. But we also need to find ways to help promote the Fediverse.

Hey thanks! Just a point of advice starting a conversation with “that’s fucking stupid” isn’t exactly seen as useful or helpful information. I’m just attempting to start conversations and help promote the fediverse so that it continues to grow. If you want to offer any helpful advice instead of being negative, that’s be great.
