Lemmy and Piefed are much more 1:1 reddit replacements. Mbin is it’s own thing, which is very high quality, but has less out of the box appeal to someone looking for “fediverse reddit”.

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Open Source@lemmy.ml•What do we think of Bluesky now?English121·16 小时前Bluesky isnt decentralized
But if it’s open source what is stopping them from simply creating another bluesky like yesterday?
Jay Graber’s background before BlueSky is in Web3 so take that information how you will.
My bad, I’m not an expert here but it’s weird that it’s open source and yet nobody else can have a bluesky? Like could I download that code and make a bluesky for everyone? If so why has nobody else done it? why is there only one for profit bluesky?
To answer your question though, no nothing has changed.
It’s still for profit, not federated and
closed sourceso honestly I don’t know why it’s being discussed here
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fediverse@lemmy.world•There is a federation problem on Programming.devEnglish11·3 天前What’s going on? Why does this offtopic comment have 14 upvotes and no upvotes?
EDIT: Dead internet theory here in full force. This post is about Lemmy. The only thing that has to do with Substack is the example post that OP highlighted to demonstrate issues with Lemmy federation. And yet the top comment (and replies to my comment) is going on as if this post is about Substack, almost as if it was written by a technology that cannot understand context.

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•I tried Servo, the undercover web browser engine made with RustEnglish3·4 天前From someone waking up from a coma without experience with Windows or MacOS, Linux truly is the most user friendly. It may not have been true five years ago but in my mind it is without question true now.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•I tried Servo, the undercover web browser engine made with RustEnglish4·4 天前I hate to admit sometimes that the Chrome experience (especially on mobile) can be a lot smoother and quicker to load, but Firefox wins every time on extensibility. But to your point yes the hate directed Firefox’s way can be well, a bit much.

James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•I tried Servo, the undercover web browser engine made with RustEnglish5·4 天前I believe Firefox is completely FOSS.
Looks like it is! I was under the apparently false impression that it was only partly.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•I tried Servo, the undercover web browser engine made with RustEnglish32·4 天前Well, because FOSS apps are usually the best/most user friendly option even if they’re not always the most popular. If you woke up after a 30 year coma and had no prior commitments to using any particular software, there would be absolutely zero question that Linux is the best OS today.
An OS is a complicated thing, yet the FOSS option is the safest, most user friendly, and most versatile. I’m just a little surprised there isn’t a browser that checks those boxes too, since the browser is a widely used thing. But I’m guessing because Firefox exists the number of devs willing to give the time investment just isn’t as many.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Fuck AI@lemmy.world•People Are Becoming "Sloppers" Who Have to Ask AI Before They Do AnythingEnglish2410·4 天前I’m not saying that nobody does this, but the idea that there is a widespread problem of people prioritizing GPT over their own cognition for a majority of their decision making has “trying to create a new moral panic” written all over it.
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Technology@beehaw.org•I tried Servo, the undercover web browser engine made with RustEnglish173·4 天前I’m not under the impression that a web browser is a simple thing to build but with Linux advancing the way it has in recent years it continues to surprise me that the “best” browser out there isn’t FOSS.
Hopefully that is about to change!
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Boycott US@lemmy.ca•The Simpsons creator Matt Groening urges everyone to 'delete Fox News'English161·5 天前Is one of those people Matt fucking Groening? Because otherwise it’s a stupid claim. Did Sean Hannity create the Simpsons?
James R Kirk@startrek.websiteto Boycott US@lemmy.ca•The Simpsons creator Matt Groening urges everyone to 'delete Fox News'English411·5 天前im not sure if youre joking but matt groening created the simpsons which is a fictional cartoon that premiered on fox broadcasting company, an entirely different company than news corp which created fox news and which existed nearly a decade before the simpsons did.
Reposting easily attainable public information is not “doxing”
Criticizing someone’s political views is perfectly reasonable
If you were acting in good faith and truly believed what you were saying then you would not have reposted the “doxing” information
