I have some cameras with a web UI which actively blocks even that 😤

Webauthn looks cool

Bad enough they stole Factorio’s concept but now we’re stealing the fanbase’s catchphrase too? 😜 /s

I put Memmy where Apollo was and I didn’t even have to retrain myself

I do find that I use the fediverse less, as my “front page” gets stale much quicker. But this is not only something I can probably fix, but also don’t mind because it reminds me how much I duck out into social media which helps me say “ah fuck it” and do something else.

Like eating a whole load of Tollhouse cookie dough straight from the tube?

That’s correct but it’s not like “reddit disallowing NSFW” because you can still access the content.

Hell, some Lemmy apps allow you to be logged into multiple accounts at once so you can just make an account on the instance that hosts the content your main instance blocks and see both of them.

Why not just run your own instance of the Lemmy software? This is essentially what you are asking to do.

Then you should understand why a server needs to exist to accept a post from you.

Unless you are saying “why can’t I send the API calls to Lemmy instances that cause a post from another domain to show up in one” and the answer is that posts aren’t pushed to other instances, they are pulled.

So you’d need to set up a listener that responds to requests for subscriptions and requests for post and comment updates and responds in kind when another instance that you wish to allow federation with) asks for updates and congratulations you’ve just re-invented the Lemmy server software.

Ironically, it’s a cup of coffee that gets me through the day

This is not the issue you should be scared of.

You should be scared because every terminally online non-technical person you know ALREADY has a Thread account.

Here’s the way it will go down:

• Thread federates
• Users complain it’s too hard to remember the @mastodon.social vs @thread.meta or whatever
• Meta removes requirement for Thread users to have to do that within Thread when mentioning for searching other Thread users
• Thread users complain to users outside Thread that it’s annoying they have to “be that way” and they should “just use Thread to make it easy, dude”
• at the same time Many instances defederate with Thread
• Thread adds “Megaheart” superlike feature that adds a sticker with an animation to someone’s “prick” (what do they call posts over at Thread anyway?)
• Users on Thread complain that they can’t superlike users from other instances
• Users from other instances get sick of their complaining and move to Thread’s instance
• Important business and service accounts move to Thread to “ensure comparability and availability”
• Thread defederates from the larger network, having captured all the important content that people find useful
• The rest of the fediverse remains mostly people posting about the fediverse, how to host their own instance, and arguing about how to move forward on an increasingly fruitless-seeming open source project.

( - in 2032, Thread decides to charge for API access, citing “freeloading app developers who have been profiteering off their hard work”)

Yeah but if you’re already driving the more efficient vehicles to begin with…

Instead of browsing on reddit, there’s this new thing called “Lemmy”…

Remember: No vid, no did

(but seriously good luck and please don’t hurt/injure yourself my friend. Godspeed!)

Bro are you mailing yourself somewhere?
