agreed 100% I apologize if it sounded like I was saying something different.

AFAIK that’s the same way all ActivtyPub servers work.

I sure do like this picture:

Yes, people do. Thankfully we as a community aren’t bound to corporate shareholders, so it doesn’t matter how many people choose to use it, we don’t have a need to increase users. While we don’t have a fiduciary duty to be kind for similar reasons, I think it is generally a good idea to do so. In my experience when I have used words/phrase like “everybody” “nobody” or “people don’t” some have told me they found it off-putting or belittling when they are in the minority so I try to avoid it but I still find it hard sometimes as that is not the way I was taught to speak in government indoctrination camp so there is a lot of de-schooling I need to do.

which is one of the great advantages of the Fedi verse, because you can if you want to. Mbin lets you, Frienidca lets you, and Mastodon lets you. I don’t like how Mastodon handles lemmy communities or Friendica Forums by making it look as though the group user re-toots every post and comment, but others do! We can all have what we want thanks to the magic of Free Software!

It might not be what you want, but it is what I want, which is why my primary social media is Friendica because IMHO it does a really good job of working well with all. They have dedicated photo albums, lemmy communities show as Friendica Forums, etc.

wait, Piefed posts don’t show up on Mastodon?

I’m guessing it’s a complaint about Free Software advocates trying to argue free software will give us a free society or some other thing that normie libs don’t understand about the Fediverse.

That would be pretty odd for a Ron Swanson meme.

That’s what I meant, isn’t the current one Biden receiving felatio from him?

In my experience when I eat a lot of asparagus my pee reeks like a b*tch.

and hell the word libertarian only was created because it became illegal to print anarchist literature in France in the 19th century.

Nostr is part of the fediverse, as is blueksy’s ATProto. Neither Mastodon/LEmmy (ActivityPub) nor Bluesky (ATproto) are decentralized. They are poly-centric, and calling Bluesky poly-centric is still a little bit of a fib. NOSTR is truly decentralized. Here on Lemmy if the admin of piefed.world gets mad at the admin of lemmy.ca we couldnt’ communicate anymore unless one of us got a new account. On NOSTR if the relay owner no longer wanted my content, you can connect to a different relay that does. (For example)

not if you are brown

You want the book to be real?

It’s fun to remind them that Trump was older when he took office in '25 than Biden was in '21.

I don’t know what those are either

so our masters are kids with down syndrome?

Thank you for your detailed reply.
