"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps because I am afraid, and he gives me courage.”

I'm not really a photographer, and these are probably terrible effects to have on camera, but I thought they were cool, and the color of the lens flare (?) is pretty 🩵

My new account is over at @scevola44 and I plan on moving this one soon (though I’m unsure as to when, because I’m considering what the data loss will be). I encourage everyone to think about it.

Live long and prosper 🖖🏼

There is no scenario in which Meta will bring mostly good things. It is not a necessary evil, or an evil I want to live with. I will probably set my profile to a more private configuration soon, but the first concrete action I can take is put my data in the hands of people who think more similar to the way I do.

However, I also believe Meta and its directors have already amply demonstrated what their intentions are, and how they value anything from privacy to human rights (that is, 0). Therefore, making their transition to Mastodon as difficult as possible, and making subscribing to their instances as unappealing as possible for users should be our priority.

So, the latest discussion about #Meta and its #Project92 (tl;dr: Meta’s plan for joining Mastodon/the Fediverse) got me thinking.

I understand people saying we should “wait and see”, and that we have full power to defederate/block Meta’s instance(s) as soon as they do anything nepharious. And that’s good. And it’s good to be “better than them.”

If you want to be discovered by more people on here:

1. Fill in your profile bio, if you have a website include a link
2. Write an #introduction post, optionally with photo, video, audio attachments
3. Pin introduction post to your profile, pinned posts federate more widely
4. Use hashtags on posts
5. Include text descriptions on attachments
6. Log in through your server’s website, go to Edit profile > Suggest Account To Others, tick box, click Save Changes

Lovely little cat. Of course, the first tourist we saw pass by was taking a photo with them, and tried to pet them. Needless to say, the cat was not happy.

People often ask me, "How do I interact with Lemmy"?

Well, in my previous post, I just interacted with Lemmy by quoting @[email protected]'s post. If you're on Calckey or Misskey (or anything that supports quotes), this will look seamless.

On Mastodon, the Lemmy post will be rendered as a URL. If I wanted to make that Lemmy post look like "native Mastodon", I could have just boosted it, but I wanted to add additional commentary.

The point, though, is that I've interacted with a Lemmy post on a platform that is not Lemmy. This is possible through ActivityPub. The Fediverse is quite magical in that sense.

If you're on Mastodon, Pleroma, Calckey, etc., I urge you all to follow Lemmy and/or Kbin communities and users and start interacting with them. It's important that former Redditors see a bustling community.

p.s. Kbin is part of the Fediverse. You can follow Kbin accounts and magazines from Mastodon etc, and follow Mastodon etc accounts from Kbin.

However, the cross-platform federation doesn't seem to be working properly yet (bear in mind the project is only a few months old!).

There's also a complication about the Kbin.social server being overwhelmed over the last few days. Kbin.social has had to use Cloudflare to cope with the overwhelming load, which is known to mess up federation.

There's a Fediverse alternative to #Reddit called #Kbin. More info at https://kbin.pub

Still VERY new, not many servers yet, two so far in English:

https://fedia.io
https://kbin.social

No app yet, use it through these sites. Subreddits are called "Magazines". You can interact with magazines from other servers.

Coders help Kbin at https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core, non-coders donate at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/kbin

(Sorry to people bored of this, had many requests to put info in one place)
