@jwildeboer Ignoring the facts does not help either. I still remember the morning in November 2016 when I woke up to the radio news coming from my alarm clock stating that Trump had won. I’m afraid that this situation might repeat itself next week…

@dansup Hi, I just joined the beta and downloaded the app for testing and I already have a question:
Does the app not have a dark mode or am I just too blind to find it? 😉

@thomasfuchs What am I looking at?

@aral @gunchleoc Depending on which of those two sides wins, even this remaining “theatre“ could be in danger. As a European I was always astonished about the political system in the US that can have a minority winning over the majority vote.

@2ndStar
Naja, wenn man sich die Umfragen so anschaut, kann man nur hoffen, dass ein Großteil davon lügt oder es sich am Ende doch noch anders überlegt.
Es wäre theoretisch auch eine (Minderheits-)Regierung aller anderen außer fckAfd denkbar, doch wie handlungsfähig und stabil diese dann wäre, müsste sich zeigen. In jedem Fall würde die Rechte das weiterhin für ihre Propaganda ausznutzen (die “Altparteien”, bzw. neuerdings “Kartellparteien" seien undemokratisch, unfähig, usw.).

@marqle @HistoPol @AlliFlowers @ctrlxcvz Multiple services or multiple instances of one service? Since you need a separate login for each of them, this trial and error approach is a bit too complicated for me.

@HistoPol @marqle @AlliFlowers @ctrlxcvz Don’t mix a service and an instance!

Lemmy.ml is just an instance, and if you don’t like it, you can join any other instance, like lemmy.world or others and enjoy their content. I like #Lemmy because it’s pretty close to Reddit.

@HistoPol @marqle @AlliFlowers @ctrlxcvz Why is #Lemmy not listed as a Reddit alternative? Furthermore this site is talking about #Fediverse services, not instances.

Once you have picked a service, you have to choose an instance for that service, which is much more difficult if you have no idea where to start.

@Gargron Spanien, oder?

@dansup @pixelfed I‘m not sure if I understand that feature correctly. Do you get - when you do that - Mastodon content (from your followed accounts) in your Pixelfed app, or does it just save you creating a separate account for Pixelfed (for viewing Pixelfed content)?

@Gargron Nice, enjoy…! Where is that?

@atomicpoet @privateger @chris Thanks, I’ll have a look - appreciate your help!

@atomicpoet @privateger @chris Maybe I asked already, but I’m still confused. What exactly is the difference between #Misskey, #Calckey and #Mastodon (apart from their content, of course).
I see so many posts about it, but I’m still not sure what it’s all about.

@atomicpoet @fediversenews I had a look, but I don’t speak Japanese.

@atomicpoet
Oh, ok. That’s sad. I had an account there, too in 2018, but there wasn’t too much going on. I was primarily looking for some kind of privacy friendly social network at that time.

@atomicpoet
Mastodon became popular with the Twitter Exodus. I am here for 5 years now, but used it only rarely when it was a cosy little nerd community.
I thinks the different #Fediverse services should try to target people to leave the commercial networks and join the corresponding #Fediverse services, like:
Twitter => #Mastodon
Facebook => #Diaspora (is this still a thing?)
Instagram => #Pixelfed
Each of them is different, but all of them become more interesting when more people are on them
