How small is small? And what happens beyond it?

• You can choose an instance that gives you like-minded people and an intentional community (like feddit.de for a German instance, or programming.dev for all things development and programming related, or ani.social for anime communities, or beehaw.org for a more vetted signup and member approach for a more social and healthy userbase)
• Lemmy is federated meaning despite this separation into instances users can read and participate in communities and posts of other instances
• Instances can choose to not federate or to block other instances according to their choices (another reason to choose your instance according to your intentions and expectations or usage pattern)
• You can link posts, add text to the post, and edit post titles after posting

Those are probably the most obvious and usage facing differences. Additionally:

• Lemmy is a platform of free and open source software, open to customizations and collaboration
• Lemmy instances are run by groups and individuals, it’s open to people and groups joining with their own instances
• As such, both in software source and platform, Lemmy is a community project whereas Reddit is a private company (soon a public company owned by shareholders)
• Lemmy has an open API allowing for custom client, bot, and other integrations
• Lemmy uses the open ActivityPub protocol, so it can interact with many other platforms like Mastodon, KBin, etc

In many other ways, it is similar to Reddit. Like having upvotes and downvotes. Lemmy is still young, so it will improve in terms of functionality and annoyances.

I don’t think it should be a client feature. It should be federated, like the posts are.

I feel like cross-posts should share comment threads…

Now comment threads are split across 6 communities.

It’s a 1080p monitor, so you won’t be hitting the limits of HDMI vs DisplayPort bandwidth.

The product spec page says

• Display Port: 1920 x 1080 (Up to 144Hz)
• HDMI™1.4: 1920 x 1080 (Up to 144Hz)

Freesync can be used seemingly from DisplayPort 1.0, or with HDMI 1.2+ (protocol extension) or HDMI 2.1+ if your monitor supports it.

G-Sync must be through DisplayPort 1.2 or higher.

If you render at 144 Hz you won’t be needing or seeing anything noticeable from variable refresh rates. It’s most useful at lower framerates. So it depends on how (fast) your games/engines will render moreso than the refresh rate and cable.

You said in a comment your monitor supports Freesync, so HDMI 1.4 is likely useable for variable refresh rates through Freesync. Either way you can skip it with a high refresh rate of 144 Hz.

What’s a struggle session?

Inbox fright is an interesting term. I certainly know and can relate to what you are talking about.

It doesn’t affect me too much I don’t think, but I know the feeling you are talking about. And I wonder how related or intersecting to/with social anxiety it is.

Act now

I was expecting some suggestions to act or unite in opposition. The linked post has none of that though, despite its title. It’s a rant/criticism, not a call to action.

Wtf is that intro. I’d have been interested in what the title teases, but that off tangents/topic (for supposed lightening humor) made me leave.

I assume this is about the hosted platform WordPress.com, not the software you and others can host and offer.

You can use RSS feeds to know about new videos, and any feed reader/manager like Feedbro to manage them.

There are two aspects to being prepared and actionable:

1. Action knowledge/confidence in knowledge
2. Not being surprised into freezing/shock

You can lessen your surprise through:

• Experience
• Practice situations for automatism/intuitive reaction
• Consciously playing it in your head

Like playing physical actions in your head before executing them improves how you do them, playing situations through in your head can prepare you/your mind-space for them.

Another CEO resigned, and he took over (for eight days).

You can export your reddit data. There’s no simple, existing way to replicate it on Lemmy though.

The export is machine readable, so scripting a loop that creates posts from it would be viable and reasonably doable.

Article says they claim to be GDPR compliant.

That’s specifically what they don’t do. They collect statistics, not individuals.

And the last one was “The radio star killed the video”.

Cloudflare announced their CAPTCHA replacement Turnstile here in 2023

They don’t particularly go into the technical details, but announce:

We don’t rely on tracking user data, like what other websites someone has visited, to determine if a user is a human or robot. Our business is protecting websites, not selling ads, so operators can deploy Turnstile knowing that their users’ data is safe.

The tracking reference is about Google captchas using logged-in user account and tracking information to gain confidence in a user being a person and not requiring challenges for them.

Simple CAPTCHA systems give you a challenge to complete, to show you are human. (As the Cloudflare post points out, it’s most of the time easier for bots to solve challenges than it is for humans. But botters still require expertise and solutions.)

Sophisticated CAPTCHA systems may use any information the web-browser sends them to make a guess on whether the user is human or not, according to probabilistic models. For example the click interaction means you move your cursor, which can be tracked and analyzed against patterns.
