@liaizon What is the best instance to join if I don't want to worry about file limits? (Also no Nazis)
@alirezahayati@mastodon.social Even though I think 'respect yourself' is a good reason to embrace digital freedom and autonomy I think we can do better.
Especially when it comes to fonts on your site, we have more than a desire for self-respect, we have a moral responsibility to protect other's rights and freedoms.
me: i would like healthcare and enough money to eat and pay rent please
rich and powerful people: no that's communism
me: okay i'm a communist
r & p people: no wait
@alexbuzzbee who put it there?
@Gargron ...Some people on the GitHub issues think this features is not needed since anyone can go to any instance on a logged out web browser and add /public to the URL to preview a foreign community. But the problem is not if we can preview an instance or not, the problem is users are incentiveized not to bond with people outside of your followers and local instance.
This is not a matter of ease of use alone, it's about creating inclusive communities. We need to open up!
@Gargron ...so you can create an account on mastodon.social, search for linuxrocks.online on the mastodon app and see the public timeline of linuxrocks.online, now you can interact with linuxy people and feel part of their community, despite being from another instance.
Just like an American teen can find a connection with an European band or artist. I may be a citizen of mastodon.social but I can relate and interact with people from another server....
@Gargron ....The more accounts someone has, the more likely those accounts can be abandoned because the users interests have changed.
This need for multiple accounts also creates stress for the users, now they have to perform their character more than once, keep up with different paswords and splitting their "self".
A simple way to create subreddit-like communities is to make the /public timeline of an instance searchable like hashtags...
@Gargron Another way to reduce spam accounts is to make mastodon users less incentivized to create more than one accounts.
Some people, including me, join an instance because it specializes around a topic (Art, games, socializing, computers) but people have more than one interest. So we create an account per instance that strikes our hobbies.
Reddit has subredits, this solves needing multiple usernames for subscribing to different topics. We need something like that...
@SuricrasiaOnline Open library is a godsend.
@lightweight yep, I rather be an unrecognized hero than a wold known villain.
@Piejacker875 Never answer any calls in the first place 🧠
