I found it in the F-Droid app, although it looks like at the moment it’s just in the IzzyOnDroid repo. I’m not up to speed on the ideological differences between the repos, but I know many apps are available on both and IzzyOnDroid is often a little quicker to add apps. It just showed up there this month, so who knows?

Yes, you can use your own image/s if you choose.

I’m not scrolling through the thread to police people. I’m just responding to you as one person to another. I’m certainly not trying to shut you up.

I didn’t call you or anyone else in this thread a tankie, because I actually agree with the premise that Lemmy could benefit from a more collaborative culture. I’m not identifying and harping on which political issues we disagree on here, because there are plenty of other threads on Lemmy for that.

I’m just letting you know that I honestly believe that you and I are on the same side. We agree on 90% of the most important issues in the world right now. I don’t think there is any daylight between us when it comes to Trump or unions or healthcare or LGBTQ+ or protecting online speech or most other things. I don’t consider you an enemy at all, and I hope you think the same about me. We can and should (and have) discuss when we disagree on threads related to topics where we differ.

Neglecting the majority of topics where we support one another does not benefit us, Lemmy, or the world.

No one here brought up the Democratic Party or genocide except you.

This is a post about division on Lemmy.

You actually don’t have to demonstrate that. You can choose to find common ground in the culture of the platform and save the division for matters that are important to you in the communities that discuss them. That’s up to you, friend.

I’m going to go right now into your history and upvote every comment of yours I agree with

Edit: I found a few dozen from recent weeks. We agree on more than you think. Many I’d already upvoted.

(Case in point)

Right wingers will be like, “Well he’s racist but we agree on taxes and the gays so he’s all right with me.”

Left wingers will be like, “We disagree on one of the 100 most important issues to me, therefore you are my enemy!”

Fantastic. Looks like there are a few that people have spun up. Thanks!

This is great! I may get back into this. Does anyone know if there is a directory of instances?

Depending on how cold you want it, the heat death if the universe is just another 10^101 years away ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Fair, thanks for the clarification.

There are a lot of people who make excellent mods who are not programmers. It’s already a small enough pool that requiring a particular skill only further narrows the pool. It also has a secondary effect that good mods may be unwilling to take on larger communities, or additional responsibilities.

If we want better moderation, the fediverse has to become more friendly to non technical people.

Yes, over a long enough timeline this is true. Usually people are interested in cooling things sooner than the death of the Sun.

The number of fat cells don’t really change in your body. The individual cells grow and shrink.

The software itself is not proprietary. The source is here.

IMHO, this is just more marketing because it’s prohibitively hard to actually implement, although there are 3-4 independent instances.

Plus, it’s the only platform that federates with Bluesky (kinda)

Which is a nice option for those who want it. By default it does not show Bluesky, but it can be activated in the settings.

I don’t personally love the idea of Bluesky because it coopts the language and ethos of the fediverse while being corporate and centralized, but I’ve seen other people mention it here, so they may be interested.

Yep.

“Wait, explain how Neopets was Scientology again?”

“What was the purpose of the hamster dance?"

Geocities?

Facebook attempts to be an all-in-one everything platform for messaging, photos, video, events, marketplace, news, etc. It is a bloated, incoherent mess.

Most people actually prefer dedicated apps for different activities, with each app being better suited to the individual task.
