I think corporate instances should be allowed only as hosts for accounts of their own employees. Letting large companies dominate the fediverse kind of diminishes the idea of putting control of social media back into hands of the people. If the companies really wanted to help the fediverse out they should be donating to fediverse projects rather than trying to monopolize it.

Hmm… I’m no expert, and probably not even competent at these sort of matters, but the thing that popped to my mind was “something something encryption something something trust”. I wonder if this has a smart solution.

This looks great! They even figured out Intel GPU and per-process GPU support.

My man, you’re straight up fighting it up there with one of the largest websites on the internet with vastly more resources and you’re delivering. You deserve the praise and encouragement.

Thanks! Makes sense. I saw “shaders” and linked it to the GPU.

Interesting! I think I’ll keep it on and just deal with the fact that it runs on CPU and takes a while, then. I was just wondering if it running on CPU was a mistake or something wrong on my part.

@CleoTheWizard Furthermore, you can encourage creators who make OC to do the same. Many are also fed up about Reddit’s actions and are likely to agree.

The way I’d imagine official instance accounts working is the governments launching their own .gov instance and restricting accounts to only verified government officials, or corporations doing the same thing on their own official domains. Then their posts are federated to whoever wants to see them (or people can just go to the instance).

Yup, it has to be made clearer what instance a post is from. Instance icons and addresses maybe? Or is that too much clutter?

I really appreciate that Valve seems to be ethical about the way they’re going about this, at least so far. I haven’t heard any bad news nor does it raise any “extend embrace extinguish” alarms. Rare for a company these days…

From the documentation, it appears that the country codes are for localization presumbly of the names of the genders.

Edit: Ah, others already said this (didn’t refresh and kbin doesn’t update this automatically). Refer to above.

And now this is here, and development is being spurred on by the large migration, the next large Reddit crisis is likely to drive an even larger group here. Things will slowly build up and eventually you’ll find that more things happen here than there.

Ah, yeah. That makes me want the ability to undo a boost or have a confirmation for boosts even more.
