What a cutie :)

Ahh, okay thanks for filling me in

Thats super interesting context, thanks for expanding on what they said!

What does make big rocks into little rocks mean?

Is it a known thing that they were dishonest about speaking to a lawyer with that situation?

I’ve been meaning to change instances and find a new home, if it’s known that they lied or mislead their users thats something I’d love to know more about

While that’s true I don’t think Bernie is trying to say every district, he’s disagreeing with the broader notion from entrenched Democrats that these are outliers that can’t be replicated and that the Democratic party needs to stay moderate (neoliberal) to win. The article lists a couple more races where we could see this pattern of more progressive candidates winning continue

Other progressive victories victories could be on the horizon in Maine, where Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner has had a double-digit lead over Gov. Janet Mills in polls ahead of the June primary and raised three times as much as Mills and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) combined in small donations in the final quarter of 2025; and North Carolina, where Durham County Commissioner Nida Allam is challenging Rep. Valerie Foushee for a second time after losing a close race in 2022.

(Nida Allam is up for vote where I am I believe. While Foushee hasn’t been a bad representative I’m excited to do more research on Allam and think I may be voting for her :)

If you’re knowledgable about CSS you could use the Stylish extension to customize websites, but given frutiger aero’s aesthetic, you’d probably have to add a bunch of images for ui elements, so I wouldn’t neccisarily expect it to be easy

Short of customizing stuff yourself, I think thats a really niche styling to be looking for, for already niche platforms. If you wanna check for other people’s CSS creations you can go to the userstyles.world site, or the older and I think now defunct userstyles.org, and search for mastodon, or any other sites you wanna check out themes for. There may not be many, customizing your websites with CSS stylesheets isn’t exactly a huge hobby, so the most themes are available for sites everyone uses (YouTube, Wikipedia, google, etc.). Any themes there you find could be used with the stylish extension, though it may require some extra work from the older site

As someone else who enjoys the y2k retro aesthetic, I hope you find something you enjoy :)

Suprised folks are suddenly engaging with this again, did something happen thats been putting this in front of people? Radiofreefedi has sadly shut down in the last year

The indie beat is now the same kind of idea, but I haven’t found as much stuff there I’m really into https://theindiebeat.fm/

Thats not because of transistor, thats because sadly radiofreefedi stopped operating sometime in the last year. The indie beat now serves the same purpose, but I’ve not found as much stuff I’m into there

Hope you’re having a lovely day :)

Yeah, I wish visiting a fedi site from an external link gave you a little button that said “select your instance” so you can switch when possible

Its definitely a ux issue that needs some care and attention. My android client at least tries to view the link from my current instance

Thats super cool!

Man if I ever get a smartwatch again this is where I’m headed. I love my little Casio’s though.

I hope they make a one or two more options aesthetically. I think their current design is a good design, but really not my personal taste. I’d love to see another option or two as time goes on if its financially feasible for them!

Its not astroturfing, it’s that people have expectations of them beyond just being a browser that let’s you access the web.

Frankly its not that great of a browser (its serviceable. And I use it, or a derivative, pretty much exclusively); generally the reason you use it is because you care about abstract things like not supporting the chromium monopoly, or wanting to pick the project managed with the most care for how it will impact actual humans

And Mozilla has been making kinda crummy choices with respects to those abstract values more and more regularly it feels like 😅

Like I really wanna love and support Mozilla. I’m using their browser cause I think its the best choice by the metrics that are important to me. And more and more I just feel kinda exhausted and kinda frustrated with them 😅

Wow. I watched some in the embeded tweet and that was uhhh… That was hot garbage…

Dont watch the tweet if you don’t want spoilers, there are important story beats included cause they’re scenes with a lot of emotion that the ai dub completely mangles

Highly recommend the show. Content warning for sexual abuse and exploitation though, its a central part of the story and the show is a very difficult watch

Happy threadiverse anniversary :)

And also Thanksgiving if you celebrate it ☺️

I use peertube.wtf and have had no issues if thats of help. There’s an artist on peertube who posts his music I’ll see if I can check what instance he’s on…

He’s on communitymedia.video :)

Hope either of these are helpful suggestions :)

Thanks for making this thread, I didn’t really realize it worked this way either!

When I’ve posted to lemmy from mastodon, you “@” the community, treating it like a user which is interesting. The underlying guts of the fediverse are fascinating lol

Hello ☺️

it’s funny watching people downvote us for saying hello to each other lol

Regardless of whether it has original content (of course it does, its userbase is massive 😅) it does still absolutely have a bot problem, and reddit has way more resources to throw at the issue than we do. This is pretty much all community built and run with donations.

I’d just make a new gmail, proton mail, or tutanota address you can provide with no other connection to other stuff 🤷🏻

The threadiverse really does have to be more guarded against spam and bad actors. The servers here are largely run by volunteers, and community projects with no full time sysadmins, fewer devs and moderators, and less fancy protections are a very appealing target for trolls and bad actors. If I remember right lemmy was actually hacked sometime early in my time using it and I think instances running a certain version went offline for a while while they tried to fix the vulnerability. And there’s a well known bad actor who periodically shows up in a thread with like 50 accounts and makes hundreds and hundreds of comments drowning everything out with angry gibberish

Federation combined with an anonymous platform modeled after reddit makes it in some ways a lot harder to ban people. So all his accounts get banned and he just comes back.

This is all managed by volunteers being paid donations and occasionally sponsor money. Thats part of what allows it to be independent and resilient to enshitification (combined with federation, and being self hostable, and free license open source software) but it also means we don’t have the same luxury of resources that reddit does.
