  • The thing that concerns me the most about federated content, is that a malicious actor could post something horrible/illegal (CSAM as the obvious example) and that gets replicated across the instances. Now those instances are “hosting” the content and could be held liable for it. A major corporation can pay lawyers to say the content was user posted and they are not responsible (happens all the time) but your average Lemmy admin does not have the same resources to defend themselves.



  • This question is useless, especially here where you’re going to get a million different answers from some of the most opinionated experts on the Internet.

    They are all effectively the same with very minor (and shrinking) differences. The actual biggest difference is the type of release cycle (atomic, rolling, etc) and you can find multiple of those in the same distro. Again… It’s all effectively the same.

    I’m gonna recommend what works for me, but it might not work for you. I like these because (again, in my specific use case) they “just worked” with little to no problems: Fedora for a desktop/laptop and bazzite for a handheld. Again… YMMV.

    Go check distrowatch and try a few different distros until you find one you like. The more popular, the more likely you can find a community to support your questions.


  • I very often have whole days in my week, probably 2 or 3 where I don’t eat any meat at all. I am definitely no vegetarian, I love pork in all it’s forms. But the whole idea of having to have meat with every meal is ridiculous. Beans, falafel, cheese, tofu, etc are all tasty ways to get protein and are usually quite cheap as well.

    And yeah the only non open source software I use is games. It took a couple years to get off windows, but I’ve been Linux as my daily driver since 2015 or 2016.















  • I just don’t understand how it’s more “techy” than Reddit. I just want our user count to keep going up.

    I think we should focus less on hyping federation/decentralization and more on how there are no ads and the content is really coming from actual users (and maybe a leftist bias).

    I got a few friends on here by explaining that choosing a server is no different from choosing an email provider. Everyone understands email, that you can communicate with most other email users no matter what their provider is.
