Agreed, he definitely needs more confidence.

@jojo

Depends if the person was already hoarding wealth before or had the desire to. Generally those who have a desire for wealth tend to hoard gold as dergs, those who don't, well they don't.

@Ghostalmedia @deadsuperhero I think the fact that I was able to see and reply to this comment of yours from Mastodon proves this idea false, if you check the Post history of this account you will also find that content posted in Lemmy is visible.

They absolutely do interact, lemmy is way more Mastodon friendly than most people give it credit for, considering the fact that communities/groups, automatically boost every post and comment for visibility.

So people on Lemmy being concerned about poorly moderated or cesspool microblog instances is indeed a valid concern.

@db0 @WeirdGoesPro would probably require modifying Lemmy to be able to do it unfortunately, and that's hard because of the Lemmy Devs' weird insistence on using rust.

@cyberboy What do you think, does this get the official catboy seal of approval?

@Melody @l_b_i I feel like it can get more cozy.

@LordAmplifier @l_b_i Also put on some nice calm music too. That helps with coziness factor.

@Kovukono Yeah it actually kind of sucks that people were so hostile towards it, honestly my first comment was more meant to be a joke (especially since I'm replying on Mastodon), but I guess it also wasn't as much of a joke as I thought considering how many people tried to bury the post.

@BOLOID Which instances are you on because I haven't had very many federation issues on mine. I do know that the gGmbH instances (mastodon.social, mastodon.online, etc.) are generally limited by many other instances on the count of spambots and poor moderation. It's why it isn't recommended to choose them (you'll run into issues following people or fetching content, that's not a bug, it's a feature).

@Kovukono I mean another big reason is that many people here highly value open source and decentralization and while Bluesky promises to deliver that decentralization via AT Proto, currently they haven't done that. There aren't really any other instances and the main one doesn't have AT Proto Federation enabled (so even if you set up your own it's no use), so at the moment Bluesky is no different from a centralized platform, just with the promise of being decentralized in the future.

Mastodon on the other hand is decentralized right now, with many many servers to choose from, it's not a future promise of future decentralization, it is decentralized already. It also doesn't carry the negative connotation that Invite-only platforms carry, which is promotion by way of FOMO (fear of missing out), yeah some instances are invite-only but there are other instances people can join and still interact with everyone else due to federation.

@Kovukono Sir, this is the Fediverse, we use Mastodon here.
