Who?

That’s really interesting. Australian here, and I’ve remarked several times how the userbase of the fediverse isn’t dominated by American voices like most other social media platforms I’ve used.

HDR in a nutshell. But we have to get through it eventually right?

If this actually stands a chance of taking off, I’ll honestly take what I can get to normalise HDR images

HDR capable PNGs that don’t look shite on SDR displays? Sign me up!

I don’t use bluesky or nostr for the very reasons I outlined in my comment, and I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone. Especially nostr, which is a shit hole.

My point is though, they both do non centralised ID, giving similar benefits to what the OP is suggesting, without the centralisation they’re suggesting

I’m not the OP.

And no, a central account doesn’t require a central service, it just requires amendments to the protocols to allow for a decentralised identity. Nostr, bluesky, etc all work that way. Nostr is full of nazis and bitcoin bros, and bluesky is effectively centralised in other ways, but both of them do have a genuinely decentralised single identity system.

There are a few ways of doing it. A single account on the first platform, and then signing up to remote platforms with that account. A system of trust that allows a user to verify that other remote accounts are genuinely also them. Combine it with platforms that recognise content posted from other accounts/platforms that belong to the same person, and let them edit the “remote” content locally and federate it out again etc.

So you don’t end up with a centralised identity, but rather, the ability to manage your identity from whichever instance you happen to be signed in to as if it were created locally on that instance.

A passport in the way described here doesn’t need to be centralised. Your profile could link to your other profiles through metadata, rather than a centralised system.

The admin team burned out

It just redirects to https://join-lemmy.org/ for me

They not only know, they’re gloating over it and rubbing it in

tfw dystopian science fiction is your favourite genre!

I don’t get this one. I feel like I’m missing something…

I don’t cope with heated spaces very well at all, because they get stuffy, and send me to sleep. So I tend to rely heavily on my throw over/shawl!

Well, that was the first PewDiePie video I’ve ever watched…

Strange that he didn’t mention leaving YouTube behind though!

I use PieFed rather than lemmy as my default these days, but the answer is the same for both. I love that they’re community driven, community hosted federated spaces that let people find the experience they want, and that they’re strongly resistant to corporate takeover and centralisation.

What I don’t like so much is the increase in debate bro type folk that are slowly drifting over from reddit. Of course, they’re at least partly dealt with by the things I mentioned earlier, but still, I wish we could undo some of the in your face debating attitudes that people have been trained to default to by toxic social media

I don’t like there is no way to get notification (subscribe to) a post to see new replies that come in after I’ve read the post for the first time…

I’ve moved to PieFed now as my default instance instead of lemmy, and this is one of the main reasons why! And you can do it at the community level as well, to be notified when a new post is made to a given community

Honestly, I like it. I run google and all of its platforms in their own tab containers, without signing in and that’s what my Youtube looks like. It’s great, I can search for the thing I need, and otherwise interact with google ad spam as little as possible

Thanks to the longer focal lengths and brighter light making narrow apertures more viable, it’s not something I’ve needed for my birds.

But I’ve definitely felt the pain of the reduced DoF the few times I’ve tried macro
