@jaggedcircle You don't install a Bluesky instance, rather you host your own PDS, or your own web client, or the feed part. It's all a mess and the latter has very high system requirements for one to self-host from what I understood. Basically, it's impossible if you're not a company with the willing and the money to do it.

If decentralization actually happens on Bluesky, it will be more confusing for the average person than with something like Mastodon.

@remington

A very good move. This should have been done by the chief-Republican sitting currently in the Oval Office.

Here's the video with him signing the message, as posted on Facebook (hope it federates over to Lemmy):

Not like they helped at all...

@remington Gee, I wonder which nazi politician is on that list again. Place your bids before you dig in! 😁

Fingers crossed for Flygsystem 2020

@PerfectDark Nonsense is my cup of tea when I get bored, so it's a perfect fit for me, haha.

Friendica is also cool, do check it out when you can. Once you'll get the hang of it, you'll love it 😁

@PerfectDark This is a fantastic series of posts. Highly informative and really fun to read and follow through. Your Mastodon also seems like a hidden gem, with lots of cool stuff. Just gave you a follow from Friendica 😁

Keep it up! 👍

Nice catch

Here in Romania, much of what was left of our steel production was going to the US. This will hit us very hard.

@remington All I hope for the world after this is to get its shit together and form some world trade system with as little US as possible in it (no offense to you or anyone living in the US); or that the next presidents will realize what shitshow this makes

Because surely someone asked about this /s

Didn't they need some money for the arms industry? How will pumping the money into restricting this help out?

@intellectualcuriosity Ah, a fellow TNR enjoyer just spotted on the Fedi. Sal'tare!

Would moving to the UK be an option? I remember they were a frequently used option by governments.

@joes desire slip lane path

About time someone should have done this already. Well done, Sweden!

Friendica has federated with Lemmy since... the very first time Lemmy enabled AP federation I guess? lol, idk. I just got very happy that I can also replace Reddit with Friendica, not just Facebook. Sadly, I figured out the hard way about .ml and the only alternative to .ml was beehaw, lol.

Back then .world didn't even exist, lol.

Anyway, yes, hello from Friendica. It's not so active indeed, because there are not so many people, but as it got some attention from Ruud (the admin of both lemmy.world and mastodon.world) there's been an uptick as of late.

Sadly, the situation of Friendica as an alternative to Facebook is really disproportionate, imo, as this is a hobby project made by some enthusiasts that aren't even organized as a juridical entity (unlike Mastodon for example) vs. a multibillion-dollar company that owns the biggest social network on the planet.

Lemmy is also in a somewhat similar situation, but Reddit is not that big, though.

Being the oldest still actively developed Fediverse project does give it an advantage, though.

@cm0002 My Friendica node did the heavy lifting for a while, blocking both .ml, lemmygrad as well if I'm not mistaken - although sadly .world and even lemmy.ca too - back in the day. The issue? Lemmy was just sending way too many activities (upvotes - generated as likes, downvotes, comments etc.) and was generaly overwhelming the server.

They have since reverted the block, but I got a hefty selection of communities spread across multiple servers. I followed [email protected], as well as [email protected] for example - as they are on more dedicated servers, rather than general purpose ones. Sadly, the former did not take off the way I expected it to 😁

@zaxvenz One of the few moments I'm proud of my country. Probably the annulment of elections last autumn here made other European countries aware that not anyone can run for a public office if they act against democracy. We also had another candidate that was barred from entry two times, but that one was more prominent than Călin-Russian-wisdom-Georgescu.
