@notjustbikes Meanwhile, the only themed train in our country is this:

Out of curiosity, do you plan to visit the Balkans as well, since you're in Europe? There's plenty to say about trains in these countries, and plenty to criticize, so you can surely get a lot to create content about. 😁

@0x815 If there's a protest I don't like, it must absolutely be a coup (attempt)

@PolandIsAStateOfMind

@hazelnot you give consent when you publicly post something online. In fact, guess what, I can see your profile and whatever you publicly post without even logging in to your instance. How? I use a web browser.

Did you also give your consent to an obscure 3rd party app to display your content inside it? No. Let's just ban them all then, just like Xitter and Reddshit did, or like Meta/Faceshit did in the 1st place.

Oh, it's so great when we have stuff to help us reach content, from friends, from people we follow, but God forbid someone else reaches our content from other parts of the internet. Those that want that are just techbros.

@jsit It seems photomatt@mastodon.social has added Mastodon under the websites section. For Gravatar to verify you, you need to add it under the verified accounts section (see my example)

@tchambers

@thanius oh, okay. Well, it still counts as their account though if it's controled by them, right? 😁

@FediFollows @euronews

@jupiter_rowland Plot twist: the whole fediverse will log through the Mastodon Web UI

@kristian

@fu social media was somehow engineered to be addicting. That's how they can shove you so many ads on you and get access to as much of your activity as possible.

Here on Friendica you can probably overcome this a bit with editing your theme and/or notifications settings.

@hypolite I mostly keep the tabs open for a bunch of articles that I'm going to eventually read "right away" (despite the fact I also have Pocket). I usually read these articles after a few months or so. Everything else is almost immediately closed after using (although I keep Friendica open sometimes).

Same on desktop, except for Friendica or any other social network.

It basically goes like that:

1. I open a bunch of articles
2. They stay open in the 1st 3 tabs or so for later reading the next day because I lack time.
3. The next day I just lack motivation to read these right away and close these tabs for good, so I waste my time staying on Friendica, in my RSS feed, on YouTube etc.
4. I might finish what I open in that day, but I have no time reading what I opened the day before, so I leave them for tomorrow.
5. In case I have no other article open from the previous day, in the third day I do the same as on 3. or hastly read/watch what I opened at 3. if I leave anything open. In rare cases, I read something that I opened at 1. so the number of open tabs is finally reduced.

#Facebook will no longer send #encrypted #emails
You used to be able to use your #PGP key in order to have your emails sent by Facebook encrypted. This is one of the features I liked the most about this platform. Now it's turning into another nail in its coffin.

I have quite some tons of them, so brace yourself 😁

Right, but it seems people are aware of this, which is why the biggest server and the most interesting content seems to be somewhere else (e.g. lemmy.world is the largest Lemmy server out there, which is not owned by any of the Lemmy devs. There is also @piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com which is really active and is created by one of r/piracy's former admins).

There are basically people that had no prior link with none of the main devs, nor they do support their views, yet they just wanted to find a better, more reliable refuge after the whole u/spez saga, and Lemmy happened to be the most reliable for them.

Again, I respect your opinion, but if you'll want to reconsider your choice in the future, that would be much appreciated as well. 😁

@feditips I have two questions:

1. Is there a way I can suggest a few groups to the list? I've come to a point where I'm following groups all across the Fediverse 😁
2. I understood your stance on Lemmy, and I share the same opinion about the Lemmy devs and their 2 servers, having 1st hand experience with one of them. However, currently, Lemmy is the second platform in the Fediverse in number of active users after Mastodon.

@stefanie you need to follow accounts from other platforms in order to see their content.

@feditips

@z428 Completely true. Friendica specific features seem to be ignored by all the apps I've encountered, while the web front is just fantastic - even on mobile. The only app I see trying to respect the feature choice is #Friendiqa but it's development is a bit slow.

Indeed it is. There are little reasons for using apps for online services that work well enough inside a web browser. We've just gotten used to corporations pushing us towards their walled gardens.
