Been doing it for ~5 years with 0 scratches… If you have an iPhone maybe they are too delicate, but I also feel like iPhones (in the US at least) don’t have SIM cards since Apple has that G.I. Joe - Kung-Fu grip

LPT: if you have a case on your phone, put it inside the case (between the case and phone) and you’ll always have it when you need it

Imagine being in a corporate environment trying to implement an OSS into your platform and having to tell your 50 yo teammate: “Oh yeah, just pop in this Discord server real quick to see any relevant info”. Instant credibility loss

This was supposed to be top level. Reaffirming my username I guess

I agree that it could be easier and personally don’t think defederation is the answer (outside of bad actors).

Exploding heads was simple enough since it is like… two people or something lol

However, I’m also not very fond of beehaw which, to me, looks like the opposite extreme to exploding heads, and I’m personally not looking for communities like that.

Do I think this means I should push for instances to defederate beehaw? No. I do think admins with very specific political views turning their instance into an echo chamber of those views is worse than Reddit, however, but I’m also not going to sit and rant at/about admins doing what they want with their own instance. If that’s what they want their instance to be, great, just not a place for me.

It was simple to get around beehaw, for the time being, by joining a level-headed instance they defederated, although I know I am missing some good links. This is not a permanent solution (I’ve been told the beehaw defederation is temporary, but am not following along), and am trying to figure out things like still seeing the good links posted to beehaw without the temptation of commenting things that don’t fit in the echo chamber and pissing off the admins further to the point they deem whatever instance I’m on a spam instance and defederate it, ruining it for everyone else on my instance. (I’m a leftist, but apparently not far enough left for beehaw admins)

I’m torn between building tools that allow easier echo chamber like feeds en masse or forcing people to individually think for themselves of what kind of content/communities they do/don’t want in their personal feeds.

I don’t think it’s great to start down a generic “this is the content you should have in your feed (dictated by random person X)” type path (not that you are saying that, I’ve just been thinking about this topic a lot, and that is what I see both beehaw and exploding heads as).

Push lemmy

Lemmy devs are already working extremely hard. I personally don’t like this terminology.

Actively develop contribute into

This is the way. I am learning Rust for this purpose. It takes some time, however, to familiarize with both a language and a large codebase like Lemmy (during personal free time). I’m also semi cheating by learning jerboa code at the same time, but I am a Kotlin dev by trade, so it is a bit easier.

Federated file share exists. Lemmy is, at its core, a link aggregator. Not disagreeing that it would be cool, but would be a lot of work.

Federated video share

I quickly found out beehaw was not a good instance for me. This is some great reaffirmation that switching instances was the right call.

I think this is the nice part of lemmy though, many instances exist (or can create your own), and there are plenty with level headed communities/mods/admins, it just takes a bit to find what you’re looking for.

Honestly am preferring defederation from beehaw. Missing some good links (for now), sure, but those echo chamber comment sections, no thanks.
