most users are older than their late 30s

I think you're slightly overestimating there. We ran a survey on Feddit.dk and the average age was 34, median 32. So more like early 30s or late 20s

Of course Feddit.dk may not be representative for the whole fediverse.

Wouldn’t it just take one bad actor to start spamming all the other instances with nonsence?

In principle yes, one bad actor could start spamming a lot. But they usually get banned pretty quickly.

If you deferate with the instance the bots are coming from they can just open another, right? Like a DDOS attack

Well, you'd need a new domain so at least you're forcing the spammer to spend money on a new domain, which probably breaks most of these attempts. Also if the spammers are really bad or posting illegal stuff and they're registering domains, you could maybe report them to their domain registrar and possibly get them to shut them out or maybe even get law enforcement involved to figure out who registered the domains.

As a last resort, you could go to allowlist federation, where you are by default not federated with an unknown domain.

Tuta takes like 48 hours to respons, slower than Proton who takes about 12-24 hours, but as long as the response is under 1 week, its fine by me.

Are you talking about support request response time here? Or what response time?

Good meme but had to downvote because this has nothing to do with the fediverse.

Very well laid out. Biggest problem is that the people watching his channel are probably likely to already understand the problem. Certainly almost everyone here understands the problem. Preaching to the choir and all that.

Hopefully we can get more people to see it as an issue in the future.

We do reach out to a certain extent, in the sense that we have commented on previous posts similar to this one.

Unfortunately the /r/Denmark mods consider it self-promotion and/or not relevant to Denmark to post directly about Feddit.dk, so any more than what we're currently doing may not be realistic.

You're doing your part :)

Unrelated tip: Use a backslash before the dash like so \- to preserve the dash rather than turning it into a bullet point.

I may have used Facebook as a bit of a provocative example here... But even on Facebook, there are certain groups that could enjoy the fediverse.

The fediverse should be for everyone.

Bluesky is not truly decentralized, in the same way that Mastodon is. Bluesky is effectively centralized and is still controlled by an american corporation and could in principle be bought in the same way that Twitter was. Lastly, Bluesky made their own protocol instead of using the already-standard ActivityPub protocol. That's why a lot of people are skeptical and recommend Mastodon instead.

I still active on Reddit, Twitter, YouTube and sometimes LinkedIn for work (never used Facebook and Instagram) and I like Lemmy and Mastodon alot but I see no reason to restrict myself to only use Fediverse.

I understand that - hopefully the fediverse can provide a viable alternative for all of those platforms in the future. Right now I don't think anything like LinkedIn exists on the fediverse, for instance.

why do you guys call Twitter, Xitter?

I think the idea of Xitter is to pronounce is as "shitter", because Twitter became (more) shit with Elon Musk's rebranding as X.

Glad someone guided you back!

100% fair! Not everyone can muster the will to wander into that hellhole. Some brave few might try :)

The only person that “chose” him is his mom, which makes him equally special to almost every other person on the planet.

Honestly it's kinda fucked that in the HP universe, apparently no other mother than Lily loved their child enough to sacrifice themselves and use this love protection magic on them.

m8 literally everyone on the fediverse is an outlier 😅

Right. I guess I just don't understand the use case since I'm used to comment trees (like here on Lemmy) and you're never confused about what someone is replying to since the comment being replied to is always just right above.

Is it just that it links back to the original or what? I mean how is it different from just quoting the post like this:

It’s like a repost, but it lets you add your own post to it and shows the original post as a quote bubble.

And then saying something about it?

Can someone please tell me what a quote post is? Maybe I'm blind but I don't see an explanation for what it actually is anywhere.

It's definitely not a problem in my own projects, but at work is a different story. With a huge project, compile times becomes a real slog.

Definitely useful and I think it compares pretty well to other tooling? My two biggest issues are compile times and "amnesia". First of all, compile times because the feedback cycle can get really bad. But that's not really rust-analyzer's fault, that's cargo/rustc.

But rust-analyzer also has this weird "amnesia". Like if I have ran the checks and everything is good, I can go to definition and it will instantly bring me there. But if I make a small change and it starts running cargo check, it's like it forgets everything until it's done with cargo check. I wish it still allowed me to use what it knew before and go to definitions and give suggestions and such.
