Scientists move to Bluesky, transitioning away from X and Meta platforms
-
I mean, wireless electricity tech does exist, it just sucks and is horribly inefficient at any reasonable distance.
-
Bluesky is open source though
-
I’ve yet to find a multi language or English speaking misskey it appears they’re all Japanese
-
There's a new option available now for reply controls, you can limit it to just people who follow you. While it's a very low bar, it's enough of a threshold for most randoms to not bother following just to reply to you
-
I use linux because I hate microsoft, not because it’s more feature complete than windows (it isn’t).
lol... "Feature complete" if you want terrible features.
-
Most people who work as "scientists" aren't actually scientists.
-
B/c people are indoctrinated under capitalism to need some kinda daddy.
-
an unanswerable question: what server do you want to be on?
This question is extremely easy to answer. We all did it. I don't think people on Lemmy are some kind of master race. smh.
-
Most people use several email servers for work, school, personal, etc.
Somehow those dolts figured it out. Shocking. \s
-
Good luck with you hotmail account... Or using Outlook... etc.

Jack Dorsey never had ownership (just directed an investment) and left the board (didn't agree with moderation, lol)
Jay also isn't majority owner.
It's a public benefit corporation too so they don't have a profit requirement.
The harder parts with decentralizing content-addressed systems like it is scaling open spaces (like how a microblog is technically one big shared space). You need big caches and big indexes. They're working actively on making it easier for others to run those app servers. There's already a few independent projects building them. Federating account hosting and feed generation and moderation services are all live already
-
The canonical list of operations on a social media platform far exceed that of an email service, a bulletin board,
This is just untrue. There's almost nothing to Twitter, IG, etc., while many bulletinboards are far more complicated.
-
He never had ownership. The investment was in the form of a contract to build the protocol, not buying shares.
-
He's not a shareholder, and also it's a public benefit corporation so shareholders have less power over the board
-
FOSS is the final destination after people get sick of capitalism ruining every other app/site.
People usually don't go back to shitty products unless they have no choice. Linux users don't go back to Windows. I'll never use an Adobe product again. Etc.
-
Almost everything is available. You can run your own account host, feed generators, moderation services, app servers (appview, relay) and most code is open. The only thing not open is a bunch of custom scaling optimizations (like database configurations) and configuration for the official recommendation algorithm & spam filtering mod tools, and stuff like that. All the rest is available, and the things that's missing aren't necessary unless you want to match their user count (but then you can probably build it yourself)
-
It's a take that apparently requires a lack of reading comprehension on your part.
-
Being a scientist doesn't mean you have the technical knowledge to run a public facing server.
-
Define "Scientist".

Would he better if it was Mastodon, but I suppose I shouldn't let perfect be the enemy of good, and good riddance to Twitter, indeed.
