Yes and no.

let’s say I have a website that hosts user generated content like a forum or something. Some other person just hosts a mirror of my website that is not under my control. If some user requests me to delete his data, I can do that. i cannot delete the data from the mirror site.

Nothing else is happening in the fediverse. The only difference is, that in the fediverse the license and technology is set up to encourage mirroring content.

free software doesn’t necessarily mean federating with other services.

They have stated their reasons why they don’t wanna do it. You might disagree with them or not. But the technology they built is still open. Anybody could take what they created and use it as a foundation that does federate.

Ieft leaning? These orgs sound more like the typical liberal right centrist orgs from america lol

I loved the gulli.com forum back in the day lol.

Was ist daran ghetto? Da stehen Bäume vor der Tür, die Türen sind frisch gestrichen. Alles ist sauber. Alles sieht intakt aus. Das ist halt bestimmt keine Fabrik sondern eine ehemalige Fabrik wo irgendwelche Yuppies eine Kunsthalle reingebaut haben, wo die sich jetzt mit ihrem anstrengenden Freunden Janosch und Agnes zum Craftbeer-Trinken bei Singer-Songwriter Musik zu treffen.

I‘m not really a loner but I‘m also not willing to do much to be included socially if it requires me to do things that I don‘t believe in.

If your fancy night club requires me to be dressed in a certain way i have no interest of getting in. If your barbecue invitation requires me to install an app that I don‘t feel comfortable with I‘m eating potato salad at home.

No. It‘s the opposite of a new world order.

It‘s the old order doing everything to preserve its power.

Why would you use first party messaging apps? Who the hell still sends sms? Just use signal. Easy fix.

High quality plastic bodies are so good. Hard to break and easy to repair. I hate glass bodies.

You cannot really un-opensource software very well.

I’m currently running Mint on my Computer and Ubuntu on servers.

At least on my instance everything is running fast, snappy. I like the clean interface. Haven’t encountered any major bugs yet.

The only downside for me so far is that there is not a lot to see yet. The only active posts and communities are about lemmy itself. Which is understandable of course but I can’t wait to actually get to the phase where I actually get to experience real content lmao

Endlich ein Bild, das ich in der Plaudergruppe meiner Familie postieren kann!

How do you check wether nsfw content is allowed?

Because my instance (feddit.de) doesn‘t allow pornographic material. I guess that doesn‘t exclude all nsfw content. But the column header is called adult and it makes it seem like „adult content“ aka porn was allowed.
