Hmm I was gonna suggest Mastodon. I always thought it allowed long-form writing similar to blog posts.
Not interested in the short-video concept. But I like the name, though. Short, sweet, doesn't sound too "techy", not too complicated to pronounce or spell.

Didn't someone create this same thing a few weeks ago? 🤔
For anyone who cares, you can get this same behavior of a normal line break by holding shift while pressing enter as well.
Ok you've peaked my curiosity.
but with large potential consequences.
What are some of the consequences you see?
Not surprised that Tech debt is among the biggest. There seems to be a lot of complexity added to apps unnecessarily these days-especially web based apps. It's almost like companies purposefully force their engineers into creating web apps so bloated that users have no choice but to use the native app version.
Wow what a great community idea! As more product reviews are added, it would make Lemmy more indexable to search engines as well.
You can reply and interact on platforms from an RSS reader. All an RSS feed is is a list of links. When you click them, you go directly to the platform. When using on a mobile device, RSS readers will even open the app for you to reply or interact with posts.
The fediverse will never replace RSS feeds. They serve a totally different purpose.
That sort of aggregating would make more sense in an RSS reader. RSS feeds are exactly for that purpose.
But a platform trying to interop from an infinite number of unrelated platforms just seems odd.
Don't think this opinion is unpopular at all. It makes sense for platforms that are similar to interop.
Hypothetically like Youtube interop with Peertube (video platforms) or Instagram interop with Pixelfed (photos). Or Threads, Reddit and Lemmy (forums). And Mastodon and Twitter (sorry, but just making a point here 😁)
But yeah, see no reason for interop between platforms with completely different purposes.
Damn. This needs to be a blog article and saved somewhere! No need to apologize. You've done a great job explaining a very technical topic in a simple and relatable way.
That level of feed curation will appeal more to the masses, yeah. Just no one has started an instance like that yet. Although you seem like the perfect person, based on your analysis and responses. 😉
Bluesky is closer to what you're describing. The platform is more centralized and the feeds are more curated for the masses.
Very true. But that's what we can create whole instances for: to be the site you think will attract the users you want. With curated feeds, less pervy content, whatever.
There's nothing stopping anyone from starting a whole new world they want to see in the fediverse. Lemmy and other fedi apps are built like this for that very purpose.
A centralized frontend and a decentralized backend seems great in theory, but I'm not quite sure that's even possible without some one or some group owning the centralized frontend. And if one single entity controls the frontend, it defeats the purpose of decentralization. We want to avoid any one person or group owning the flow of our communication.
Great research! Thank you for at least looking into this, as I've been having this issue for months now. Just to add to your information, I'd probably rule out Ublock origin. Because it happens even when using Firefox on my Android, which doesn't have any plugins installed. I've even tried using Brave on my Android and still get the same behavior. Refreshing fixes it and logs me in automatically (sometimes). Other times I have to actually log in again. Hope this helps!
Sounds like you might just want the news without fluff.
I use AllSides as my main news source for federal news. Give them a try. The writing is succinct and gets straight to the point.
They give you news of the day in small chunks separated by topic. Each topic has a quick context, run down of what's happening, and (my favorite) how the left right and center outlets are all covering it.
They also have an RSS feed (provided by Open RSS because they dont serve their own feeds. https://openrss.org/allsides.com
Good god! That was a good laugh 😂. Desperate to advertise to people who don't want to be advertised to. Exploiting activity history of anonymous users? Uh... that's the whole reason people post anonymously. Because they don't want to be associated with their activity. How exactly is this a good strategy, again?
Brave used to have an option to disable autoplaying of videos on web pages. But now the option is removed. I found discussions on Brave forums from users asking about it, but no one from the Brave team responds. (see this, this, and this).
I really don't want to believe Brave is intentionally being silent about this, but it's kinda obvious.
Anyone know anything about it?
And it applies across your entire SL account. Seems very easy to hit, given that people use SL to curb influxes of inbound email spam.
If you go over the limit, they start throttling your emails (delivering them late).

Hi! On this thread 7c/fakefilter#73 some random user asks to block ProtonMail and SimpleLogin email domains. This is really popular filter, so please, take measures! @mmso, @bartbutler, @Twikito
This makes me 😭
UPDATE: Thanks @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.
Discord, the phenomenally popular proprietary chat platform, is now verified on Flathub. For years, a Discord Flatpak app has been available on Flathub
I personally wouldn't touch Discord with a 10 foot pole but figured any privacy-focused people who use it may want to know this.
I noticed that every time I visit the site, I have to log in. I remember not having to do this a few days ago. I was assuming a cookie was being set for a timeframe until I explicitly log out. I can't remember if there was a "remember me" button. I'm using Firefox and tried disabling my extensions, but that didn't seem to help.
Anyone know why sh.reddit.com exists? Is it something they plan to use in future? ATM, it just looks justlike reddit.com with a few small style differences.
Mozilla is hiring a Sr. Director of Machine Learning in Remote US
I'm a dev and I was browsing Mozilla's careers page and came across this. I find a privacy respecting company being interested in building an AI powered recommendation engine a little odd. Wouldn't they need to sift through the very data we want private in order for a recommendation engine to be good? Curious of what others think.
