Sorry, I’ve been hearing about this for some time and I don’t know the story behind it. Can someone please explain the enshittification that happened with digg? How good was it before and how bad was it after?
Tildes is AGPL licensed Free Software. But yeah, the author has no plans to add federation support.
I agree, but unlike usual blunders this was very much planned!
Exactly. The questions section on their homepage says this: “Peer-to-peer broadcasting - It reduces server bandwidth overload if a video becomes viral;”.
Compared to other fediverse platforms like mastodon and lemmy, peertube will obviously have more storage requirements though. And as usual, having many small instances is always better than a small number of large instances.
“Survival of the fittest” (when used without trying to understand its actual meaning).
Asymmetric cryptography was a game changer, before that communicating parties had to exchange the secret keys used for encryption which was very risky.
Mastodon supports account migration. You can export the list of your followers and the accounts you follow as CSV and import them from another instance. But there’s no option to import posts yet.
Also, note that when you migrate all followers in the old account will get automatically unfollowed.

There is also joshuto, another ranger clone, written in rust.
I use ranger with zoxide plugin, very handy. I even use it inside neovim as well, using rnvimr plugin.
Covid helped that I guess.
Earth is flat!
Pixelfed is going to introduce such a feature soon: https://mastodon.social/@pixelfed/110683611384204420
Thunderstorms & lightning strikes can severely affect “cloud” computing!
I am an atheist and I believe the world would be much better without religions. Having said that, I don’t conisder it as a scam in itslef. Instead they must have been something evolved over the time due to our ignorance, fear and helplessness. The very same factors that still keep them going.
But hell yeah, people are exploited in the name of religion. I’m from India, one of the largest so called democracies, currently under the governance of a fascist hindutva party that thrives on polarizing people in the name of religion.
BTW I was actually looking for specific instances of scams carefully plotted by known people, companies or even countries instead of broad answers like religion.
