Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn’t that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak?

The interface is reddit-like, you must click the small image to view it properly. Not being logged in has nothing to do with it.

Browser engines are the clients in a client-server system. Social media interactions follow a client-server-client pattern. Federation merely allows for something like client-server-server-client, and wouldn’t make sense for browsers.

What you’re probably looking for is simply communities built around forking the codebase of those engines for innovation and development. Those probably already exist, since that’s part of the cultural backbone of the FOSS movement.

Since my (leftist) instance is blocked, OP probably can’t even read this comment.

That irony aside, although I disagree that federated Lemmy as a whole is homogenous, it’s only natural that an alternative social network would skew away from the mainstream, and that instances would be relatively homogenous internally.

I believe this is by design, but to expect something else is unrealistic. The only options for Lemmy would be for it to be either further left or further right than Reddit. And there are a couple fascist instances, though they are blocked.

Fantastic reply, thank you very much. I’ll see if I can get them a USB Mint for a test drive. Thanks!

El bloqueo ha llegado a lemmy. Great contribution lol.

Gotta remember to come back in 8 hours lol. This might be a fun experiment, since basically every corporate social media wants to be tiktok already.
