Thanks so much! 🙂

Oh, awesome! We will do it when out and about then.

Can this be done offline on Android devices and uploaded later? We ask because we currently have no data on our phone and it would be useful to edit when out, and then upload when we get back home.

Is there any way to do this on iDevices?

Lies, ignorance and money?

What servers were you on and what clients were you using?

Even calling?

Oh, prose does? Yikes.

For an average user how good is calling on XMPP and Matrix on any given server? We’ve only seen matrix.org have successful calling and we’ve never had success with XMPP calling nor joining groups on it. No idea what prose is.

Sad that it is being replaced by the much worse Teams and there isn’t much to replace it in the open source world except for Signal, Threema, Wire and maybe Jitsi meet.

Yep, all except for two: Crumpet and our Bank app. We can be pretty sure of this as we run CalyxOS and we have too many apps to list otherwise as everything on our ‘dock’ is in folders.

Sadly not, most mentally ill people aren’t like him, and also it is obvious he is in a cult as this is exactly what cults do to people.

We think Minds tried something like this (though it might be different tiers) and it didn’t exactly go well, forcing users to pay one way or the other always leads to economic pressures to keep users around, even if they are being toxic at least from what we have observed.

clashing with their users’ need to stay isolated from users who are toxic to them.

Sadly Lemmy does not solve this problem as the creators think like a corporation or do not want to be fully cut off from other users and thus do not have proper blocking (which is something built into ActivityPub mind you), for now it is only one way blocking which does not solve being isolated from toxic users as it still allows for some toxic behaviour etc.

If Lemmy ever gets that feature it would actually prove that it is dedicated to user safety, but a lot of people in the open source social media world seem to be ‘concerned’ with not being able to see everything due to entitlement, as others unrelated to Lemmy also are lacking the same or similar features.

Maybe, but social problems cannot entirely be solved with technology.

Yes, I meant more long term but didn’t express that fully. So you are correct, corporate social media will go that way eventually unless they do the things we recommended.

Corporations cannot create nontoxic social media, the incentives will always be there to make it toxic.

The only way to do it is something like mastodon where actual people run it and thus can deal with people who are being toxic either by blocking etc because the fear of losing money, or the likelihood of the entire site/platform disappearing etc just isn’t there (obvioiusly individuals sites go down sometimes but the entire network is unlikely to disappear), or by the use of people explaining why what they did was wrong and the toxic people listen.

Edit: If Bluesky actually ever becomes decentralised as in users can run their own servers and federate or block other servers then perhaps it might become good, but until such a time then I do not trust them.

They should also make a non-profit foundation if they want to be seen as trustworthy, so that they can’t ever be sold off.

Those are the only way we and many others will ever trust them.

We understand but we don’t think it’s good to forget all the other shit they pull.
