@dansup still waiting.....

@strypey @youronlyone peertube has some pretty decent import tools already but I'm not sure if they'd work well in this case

@strypey @youronlyone they are designed around youtube mainly but I have never tried with any other platform

@dansup still awaiting mine... but I'm sure you will get there

@dansup awaiting mine....

@kotaro and those parts have to be coded to work in the products so the end user can't just swap them. With the M series chips that has got worse. DRAM is now on the chip so if it fails the whole chip is scrap...

@kotaro nope they sure aren't. Far from it... plenty of better, cheaper and faster hardware. But you have to work harder (and most just want to buy something ready to use)

@kotaro If you actually have to repair things then Apple are probably the worst company out there, for many reasons. I'm not saying that the products are all bad, but a lot of decisions are made to keep repairs difficult if not impossible. Apple says decisions are often made for engineering and/or performance, but I seriously doubt it. Most are for costs or to keep the products having to go back to Apple if an issue arises. I have dealt with Apple many times, and they are awful to deal with

@pbaesse @everton137 most I've asked directly, and therefore not the greatest way to measure it is simply that there isn't enough happening here. They are used to say X/Twitter and Facebook and with a hundredth of the monthly users it is way, way quieter here. So generally they just go back to what they are used to. So many people moaning about Facebook on my feed yet they stay there...

@everton137 seen plenty of projects that say they will embrace activitypub but then quietly shelve it. It appears (and don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger) that activitypub isn't taking off like people expected. Users and servers has grown a lot but actual user (MAU monthly active users) has shown nowhere near that growth. This is the main issue for activitypub right now - people join, use for a bit and then leave.

@rmdes @tchambers @pfefferle whilst I (and others) feel it is a poor decision I am seeing a downturn generally amongst social media and this is reflected on Mastodon (and the fediverse) with declining interaction and numbers. Social media for a lot of people has peaked. I guess this is one reason for it....

@BeAware I don't think so.... plenty of other servers than mastodon already

@BeAware users often drive features, just because you don't like something doesn't mean others love it. Privacy is also behind plenty of these upcoming choices. Mastodon isn't the one thing that binds this together - don't like it? Leave it really is that simple. Go to another federated AP server, it is pretty easy....
This point is really fundamental to federation use... you also don't have to interact or even see those who choose to abide by their own choices

Nice to see that Funkwhale is back up and running....

@tanepiper I don't know many who thought it was good.... but yeah, I expect nothing less from Meta

@wjmaggos why?

@aral but we should also give them the choice....
This is why I advocate a per person block. The choices are there, it is up to people to be educated about the choice of instance. This is a core feature - join an instance that aligns with what YOU want and go from there. It is a whole different way of thinking...
There is no right or wrong way here. But saying that a platform is OK because of a choice made by someone is very counter-productive when the whole ecosystem made choices to help this

@aral of course they don't care it's called choice. That is why I advocate a per person block and is also why they federate. The tools are there so use them. When a platform has several ways to achieve the same thing and you can also choose an instance that does or does not block these choices are powerful.

@aral Harsh - I don't think people should federate with threads. Meta has over and over again abused its market position to make money. The only difference I would say is that people should do a per person block of threads.net
Yes Meta is toxic. Yes Meta is bad. The sheer amount of lawsuits make that clear. If people don't federate then threads will make its own way in the world. Meta don't need federation it is just a way to make more money and abuse their power

@tokyo_0 I would suggest, as most are doing, by blocking threads. Otherwise they will I'm sure do as they have done before and ruin it
