Damn that just me like a truck. XKCD is always funny in some kinda way. This just gave me a snap back to reality moment.

Bad link. This is how it goes.

Yeees wtf. Why are they cut off

You’re right, it has been released, but matrix.org and most other servers either havent activated QR login or arent using MAS. It will be sick tho, the demos make it look very fast and smooth.

While matrix/element is still very much in development, it is improving constantly. A year ago i sometimes had issues with desynced encryption keys and now that never happens anymore. There is now a modern group call and screensharing system and the new ElementX mobile app which is much faster than the old app. Now there is also OIDC and in a few weeks QR code login will be released, so no more manually entering login and encryption key verification stuff.

Its usually your client that causes this. When you open the the image properly, you will se that its perfectly fine.

When its niche knowledge that doesnt get a lot of media attention. So not in this case.

Its also the original afaik

Monthly Active Users :3

There will always be moderation. If you dont ban certain things, people will have to defederate your server or risk being raided by the police. That being said, there are some more lenient servers, but few servers are completely hands off. Your server is not what decides whether your post gets deleted or not however. That is always decided by the mod of the community you post/comment in.

Yeah, whenever two models interact or build on top of each other, the result becomes more and more distorted. They have already scraped close to 100% of the crawlable internet, so they dont know what to do now. Seems like they cant optimize much more or are simply too dumb to do it properly.

I thought he was getting railed by Trump.

I like the idea of the swastika shaped musical notes.

If an instance has multiple hundred active users, i doubt its going anywhere anytime soon. You can also just contact the admin of any server and ask how they fund it and what their future plans are. The “first seen” column also quickly gives you an idea of how long standing the server is.

Neither. Never go for an instance thats at the top in terms of user count unless there is a specific reason to do so. This applies to all fediverse or decentralized services.

Go for any of the ones below the red line or sort this table by MAU and find one even further down. Excluding US based servers is also something to think about.

The power dynamic is still 1000000:1 they can do whatever they want and you will have to follow. If they defederate you, there is no value in your self hosted instance.

Whats with politics content and AI images. Feels like every second politics image post i see is AI slop

The biggest thing is that you need to be manually authorized by them for federation. They will only ever federate with servers that arent serious enough competition to lead to democratization of the overall network.
