  • I suppose you are on lemmy. Lemmy is kind of the reddit of the fediverse. Imagine that now everyone can create their own reddit server with blackjack and hookers. That is the server you are on, someone decided to create a server for the world. But now I am on another server with different owners, rules and mods (basically blackjack and different hookers). I can interact with you on your server and you can interact with me on my server because our servers are federated.

    Now imagine that you can do this for every social media. Reddit, X(itter), Instagram, YouTube, Tiktok, WhatsApp. Everything is available in the fediverse (with more or less issues depending on what you are looking for).

  • This seems so unlikely that it may be done on purpose. Is there a way to calculate the probability of this being on purpose? For instance, if she had 30 pairs of socks to start with, it seems unlikely to reach 20 single socks if they are randomly lost. Intuitively it should depend on how far we are from the expected value of single socks after losing N socks, but idk how to model nor calculate this.

  • A balance between communities. There are communities that are very active and fill my feed. Although those community are OK, I am much more interested in some smaller and niche communities. Those get lost in the feed.

  • I really hope you are right. I currently predict some issues with the scalability of the fediverse, maybe due to ignorance. If the majority of people switch their social media to the fediverse, the current volunteer hosted infrastructure will crash. Such infrastructure is not cheap to maintain and donations may dry out at some point. Specially for pixelfed, loops and peertube. The fediverse may run into trouble without easy self-hosting solutions

  • I was never banned or even warned. Reddit is an American company who is catering to the oligarchy. While before the USA was a seemingly friendly country to other democracies, this is not the case anymore. A majority of their population is either voting for agression or is complicit by inaction. Adding content to USA social media is only increasing their reach. Reddit used to be nice but Lemmy is a better alternative anyway.

    Beginner's calf pain

    cross-posted from: https://feddit.org/post/8901058

    Hi! I transitioned to barefoot shoes and I can get by without issues in my daily walks. I am not ready to run on barefoot shoes yet, so I got the thinnest Altras I could find and off I went.

    Probably I overdid it on the first runs, but I got some pain on the outer part of my calf. Not the full calf, just the outer part. I believe this is the part that powers the toes. That pain may be normal, but I wonder if my forefoot striking technique is wrong. Is this supposed to happen?

    TL;DR: Beginner's pain in outer calf. Is it supposed to happen or is my forefoot striking technique wrong?

    Delete Disney+ Account

    I want to delete my Disney plus account but their app and website force some ad for their latest subscription deal. My account settings are not accessible anywhere. When I am logged in and refresh the page, I can briefly see my avatar in the top right corner before the ad comes up. According to Disney's instructions, I need to use that to access my account configuration and delete it.

    Is this a denial of my right to erasure granted by the GDPR? Should I report this to some authority? If yes, who is that authority?

    Alternatives to Google Wallet

    Hi! What alternatives are there to Google Wallet? I am only looking for a secure app that allows me to pay with my phone instead of a card, I do not really care about the rest of functionality

    lemmy.pt only shows old posts

    Hi!

    I am trying to access [email protected]. For some reason, I can only read old posts. I also tried to comment on one of the older posts and it did not get through to the instance.

    Is there anything wrong with the Portuguese instance? Or is it feddit.org? Or maybe is it me? Help please, I am new to lemmy and the Fediverse!
