    Do product comparison tables on company websites influence your trust or decision to subscribe?

    Yes, they help me decide:46
    Somewhat, I check them but verify elsewhere:163
    Not really, I prefer independent comparisons:79

          the optimal outcome is that I say "no" to a product because I'm really just not the audience but quietly think "a shame that it's not for me they really thought about their stuff"

              @kagihq if they're purely quantitative and I don't know much about it then I'd maybe pay attention.

              So if it's comparing quotas, price, atomic functionality, I may pay attention.

              The moment it strays into things like UI niceness; Efficiency of workflows; company ethics; I'm scrolling past.

              I think, unless it's a comparison of technicalities / spec sheet, like choosing hosting or an api.... it's better to just see a list of what sets it apart from everything else rather than a comparison grid.

                  @kagihq They can be a good starting point for investigation. It depends on how much I trust the intentions behind the comparison, in general. Is it pure marketing or is the company helping me to make my own decision?

                  It can also backfire in my eyes, if the comparison is misleading, and I find out through my own verification, then my trust in the company will decrease.

                  If you are going to do it, be honest about the tradeoffs, and as complete as possible when listing possible alternatives

                      Ya know, right now would be an AMAZING time for Mastodon's leadership to break bread with the Black programmers that really wanted to help make this place less racist.

                      Bluesky just banned a prominent Black user from basically being seen by anyone. Because Bluesky's CEO is mad about their posts. ATProto is clearly showing serious signs of weakness.

                      Do the people who love the Fediverse have the guts to admit we have poorly served the Black community and need to apologize? To take radical steps to show this place will be worth investing in for Black users who may want to leave Bluesky?

                      Now is the time to act and do so. If ever there was a time to put a massive amount of momentum behind the Fediverse, it'd be now. We should do it.

                        That being said, going beyond that and say Mastodon or Fediverse is racist reads like white guilt stuff, which is counterproductive.

                            @literalgrill For me, the main issue is tools of moderation. For instance, being able to turn off the posts for the public posts can help people greatly, and I would like to see such implementation.

                            There are quite a few quite nasty instances, and yes, they ruin the experience, but at the same time, centralization would lead to something shittier.

                            Social media mirrors the global racism, and more extensive tools at least mitigate it.

They have already shown who matters and who doesnโ€™tโ€” but your average liberal doesnโ€™t see it yet and wonโ€™t see it until the whole place goes the way of twitter.

                                      These usually tend to be things discussing mental health and other important issues. I assume maybe they sometimes get labeled as "rude" or are suppressed under some other system I know nothing about.

                                      With Bluesky's promised "zen mode" I'm concerned huge portions of its userbase will suddenly just be blocked out. And I do honestly worry it'll be used as an excuse to block out other ATProto instances.

You've probably grown up in a society ignorant or even hostile to trans people and transitioning takes a lot of courage for a rather vage hope of what one's life will be afterwards

                                                        I had the very same fears, like what if I will look old and ugly. And for a time transitioning felt that way. I was looking weird because I was early in transition and didn't know how to present myself. I had no clue about style or fashion or makeup. I needed time to get a hold of my feminine self. During that time I often felt hopeless and anxious, but I always knew I would never go back. The good thing is: it got better. Fast. I got in touch with my femininity bit by bit and with every step the image in the mirror became more the woman I am

                                                        Coming out was hard. I was scared I would lose people dear to me. I had to accept that in case someone would react hostile I'd have to cut them oit of my life. It has happened. Not a lot, but it has.on the flip side I met so many new people who accept and love me the way I am, more people than I'd lost. It was hard to accept that loss, but I did and good riddance

                                                        And now? People I knew for a long time keep telling me how happy and open I've become. They actually look forward to meeting me. Now that hadn't happened before. And I'm far, very far away from that ugly old woman I feared to become. You, too, will find your way eventually

Thatโ€™s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions would have been sufficiently shockedโ€”if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in โ€™43 had come immediately after the โ€˜German Firmโ€™ stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in โ€™33. But of course this isnโ€™t the way it happens. In between come all the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.

                                                                                And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying โ€˜Jewish swine,โ€™ collapses it all at once, and you see that everything, everything, has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live inโ€”your nation, your peopleโ€”is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays.

                                                                                But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way.โ€

                                                                                                                      If you only just signed up and have no or very few followers, easiest option is probably to sign up on another server and forget about your mastodon.social account.

                                                                                                                      if you've already got a significant number of followers and you want to keep them, you can move your account to another server using the transfer process.

                                                                                                                      mastodon.social currently has ~20% of active Fediverse accounts

                                                                                                                      Mastodon.social is just so much larger than other servers and keeps growing, it is putting the network itself in danger.

                                                                                                                      I totally get the idea of having a single suggested server, but we need to regularly rotate which single server is suggested so we spread growth out.

                                                                                                                                        But as Frankie says, groups are a way of getting exactly the same traffic on all servers. You can find more info in the link they gave (fedi.tips/how-to-use-groups-on).

                                                                                                                                        I would advise following as many tags and groups as you can until you are seeing the amount of content you want.

This will not happen. Only those understanding the inner works of fedi, and whom spefically want a certain distribution can use it.

Basicaly I wanted to use Mastodon as the activitypub engine, add front-end on top of it. But I had so many issues. The community didn't help, at all.

                                                                                                                                                                    Now i'm coding a full activitypub server, with xmpp userbase.
                                                                                                                                                                    I hope more dev will know about AP, XMPP & fedi stuff

It's not for the masses, It's a bit community driven, but not realy, mostly monolitic, not so well documented, heavy and tricky to install.
                                                                                                                                                                        And i think this is by design.

                                                                                                                                                                          They can use the Mastodon API so their platforms work with software written for Mastodon, but the instance is much lighter.

                                                                                                                                                                            months ago, I wrote what I call a simple guide to join & use Mastodon in Indonesian and for newbies.

                                                                                                                                                                            in my written guide, I suggest the peoples to join mastodon.social first. the reason is always the overwhelm over the plenty choice of instances, & also to get the newbies immediately jump into onboard of Fediverse.

                                                                                                                                                                            immediately telling them about how decentralization & federation works, makes them more overwhelmed too, as they're used into the centralized system. my main expectation: let them to be in mastodon.social (or any big instances) first. as the time passes, they'll slowly learn what is Fediverse, decentralization, federation, etc., than immediately told them, and they're overwhelmed and get bored easily.

                                                                                                                                                                            I think, this is how "the blue butterfly" platforms does that they can got more sign-ups in the name of "decentralized", where seems their decentralization system is still "over paper", and when something bad happened, user still had no or less options to left from the same network.

                                                                                                                                                                            where in Fediverse, of course, if something bad happened in mastodon.social, peoples can easily migrate and jump into any instances.

                                                                                                                                                                            in my written guide, I only explain them a little bit how decentralization works, but didn't force them to understands fully. of course, as my guide is written for Indonesian audiences, I also suggest fedi.my.id as the second instance I recommend after mastodon.social as that instance is created by Indonesian for Indonesian. and also I include a guide how to migrate account from mastodon.social into other instance, example: mstdn.party.

                                                                                                                                                                            we may have disagreement over this, but again, I also thanked much to you too, for providing a complete guide about Fediverse for who wish wanna to learn about it more that I simply can't cover in my capacity. and I already include your site in my guide as a "Further References" ๐Ÿค—

                                                                                                                                                                              It's just as easy to sign up on mas.to, and just as easy to use, but it would be a much better option for the health of the network.

                                                                                                                                                                                as I previously said, as my written guide is for Indonesian audiences, I also suggest them to join Indonesian instances such as fedi.my.id and/or misskey.id (powered by Misskey, connected with Fediverse), as signing up into English instances may overwhelming them too, like they'll only found English/German speaking posts that shares European/American affairs that may irrelevant for Indonesians.

                                                                                                                                                                                and also I didn't forget to told them to check the official lists, so they can look other non-Indonesian speaking instances if they didn't wish to join the bigger mastodon.social. its good too, if at the end they can end up into mas.to, mstdn.party, mstdn.social, etc., and I told them they can still use & follow my guide as the process & the interfaces will much likely same too like Im signing up into mastodon.social, and not need to worry if their friends will end-up in other instances as they'll eventually connected each other, regardless about the instance :)

                                                                                                                                                                                    maybe, I can add this answer: my main approach while writing the guide is, how if me being positioned as a newbies? like:

                                                                                                                                                                                    let say, I didn't need to know over the choices. choices can be overwhelmed me. when lookup "joinmastodon.org", its immediately recommended to join mastodon.social. wanna to pick other server? okey, I need to join Mastodon ASAP or I need to compare the plenty of instances one by one? I think mastodon.social & mas.to have its advantages and disadvantages? should I took that for consideration? oh look mstdn.social, should I join mstdn.social then? oh look toot.community, should I join toot.community instead?

                                                                                                                                                                                    with this approach, I can see, newbies might wasting time and overwhelmed over choices, or joining the ship first ASAP, although for first its was the bigger mastodon.social. I agree the part if the mastodon.social is too big and might unhealthy, but I believe, as time passed, the newbies can learn about the choices and migrate later when they found an instance that they see its fit for them (or even good if they can selfhosting for themselves)

Itโ€™s always tempting to suggest they migrate right away to another instance, but I donโ€™t want to scare them off.

They supported logging in via XMPP with a regular XMPP client (c2s) but they didn't support s2s. Meaning you could only chat with other Facebook users.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        GTalk had federation and it was somewhat bad when they shut that down. But I don't remember Facebook's XMPP access being very relevant for the larger ecosystem.

But each newsletter was presented as a button, not a link. When I tried to click on them, nothing happened. I switched from Firefox to Supermium but that didn't help. I am using Windows 11 and NVDA.

I can't find anything mentioning accessibility on their site either.

It's unfortunately just a big long list in the Ghost category but the same accounts appear in their respective topics on the fedi.directory site alongside Mastodon and other accounts.

This doesn't work for 100% of Ghost sites, but it seems to work for most of them. It depends on whether they have Fediverse compatibility switched on.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              p.p.s. I know the discovery process above is fiddly, which is why I've started manually curating good quality Ghost sites that are Fedi compatible on fedi.directory along with their Fediverse addresses. You can browse the ones listed so far at fedi.directory/tag/Ghost and just paste the addresses straight into your Mastodon etc search box.

However, it should be noted that RCS is largely a Google service and carriers have nearly all delegated most of it to Google. Carriers are expected to host some part of it themselves but it still seems to be largely a Google service in most cases. Even using RCS on an iOS is essentially a Google service.

It's giving metadata to multiple carriers and parties they share that with based on being tied to carriers. If anything, Google largely hosting it makes it a lot more secure and they have better privacy practices than carriers. Carriers likely never would have provided end-to-end encryption themselves. In general, RCS is not a good thing beyond replacing SMS and being usable for people without a specific app.

RCS without E2EE is just more usable than SMS which in many ways is a bad thing without E2EE since it encourages using it. iOS currently only has RCS without E2EE. Apple has been gatekeeping E2EE as something only available between iOS users via iMessage rather than allowing secure communication between iOS and Android. They've said that's going to change, at some point, but they're dragging their feet on shipping it.

Even Elephants would have trouble I would think. But like if a Giraffe did manage to impregnate another animal, what if the baby got both the long legs and the crazy neck, they would probably need a C Section. Anyway, I checked there are no species that can interbreed with Giraffes, they branched too far off, they adapted too hard. Even other types of Giraffes rarely mate.

Any plans to have some type of Google lens functionality where i can point my camera at a physical document and get a translation? That would be great! Is there somewhere I could make a feature request? Thanks!

I've picked a fun domain name that others might end up enjoying too, but for now it's just me, myself, and I.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      It's running on on a Hetzner (ARM64!) instance in Germany, so the connection is a bit slow for me as I live in Asia, but should be fine for most everyone else I suppose. I could have put it on a Vultr instance, but this'll do for now.

You may know me from the instance, but since I've been wanting to give self-hosting a try, I figured now is as good a time as any to actualy try.

I was looking at this (or similar) color on Fender's website a few months back. If I could afford one right now, that's probably the color I'd get. Instead, I bought a DIY bass kit on Amazon that's a copy of Fender Jazz. It actually sounds decent and I like playing it!

For me this is a very special cluster because it has almost the same story associated with it across the entire world. Almost everywhere in the world it is some variation on seven sisters being chased by a man (Orion). This consistency is unique in the myths and stories associated with the stars, and the sort of thing that makes amateur cultural anthropologists overly excited.

The blue one was shot using a basic light pollution filter, and the green with an Ha/OIII filter. The overall exposures are similar (50-59minutes), and the post-processing is similar. The green one was shot on a , and the blue on a .

So I set it out again, but only in Alt/Az mode rather than EQ.
