Provide the ability for users to migrate their account and all associated data (posts, comments, moderation actions, saved posts, etc.) from one Lemmy instance to another.
To implement this feature you’d either have to:
Either of these would be very susceptible to abuse. Giving bad actors a button to force instances to run hundreds, potentially thousands, of operations probably isn’t the best of ideas.
It’s hard to give a direct source because he’s deleted quite a bit but this thread has a screenshot.
The person who runs it doesn’t recommend Lemmy because of the political opinions of its main developers.
Kinda funny now given that Eugene of Mastodon has signed an NDA with Facebook.
Yeah, but pair it with the exact wording of how Stallman walked back the paedophilia comment:
Many years ago I posted that I could not see anything wrong about sex between an adult and a child, if the child accepted it.
Through personal conversations in recent years, I’ve learned to understand how sex with a child can harm per psychologically.
It’s importan to remember that Stallmen only considers people up to the age of 13 children.
Sure, but software that targets a moving platform like Emacs can often break. I’m commenting on how stable Emacs is, even past major releases (25->29 in this case).

God, I love emacs
I use Tilix, mostly because I’m used to it. I should probably upgrade to the plethora of new GTK4 terminal emulators, but I just can’t be bothered. Plus none of them support tiling.
No, they’re asking about getting stuff posted on Mastodon to appear on their Lemmy feed. You’ve got the platforms the wrong way round.
You can’t, unless the Mastodon user tags a community you’re subscribe to.
True. That would be true of any platform which allows tips, you’d have to connect to some source of money whether it be paypal or crypto. Paypal’s fees would be prohibitively expensive but it would be theoretically doable. Either way, it’s a <5 minute setup process if they care to do it.
But people already have Paypal and understand how to use it. Most people don’t understand cryptocurrency, and don’t want anything to do with it because of its association with scams.
Interesting I didn’t know AP supported E2E. I guess it’s Mastodon that doesn’t support that element of the AP protocol then?
Here’s the issue.
Also, I looked in to Nostr a bit for this and do you seriously think profile links like this will catch on with people?

Say what you want about AP, but usernames like <(at) makeasnek (at) lemmy.ml> are at least memorable. How am I suppose to tell someone IRL about my Nostr profile, say of a 64 bit string out loud?
This assumes platforms win based on technical details, which they don’t. Mastodon will probably ‘win’ (whatever that means) because of network effects and general culture.
Nostr has an optional built-in tipping functionality where you can leave tips for users whose content you like. You can tip a fraction of a penny or $100. And users can tip you. This has a few effects. For one, it incentivizes people to use nostr. Non-profit orgs, for example, can use it to fundraise.
But user have to be technically minded enough, and willing, to set up a crypto wallet to do this.
In mastodon, admins can read your DMs. If you DM somebody on another instance, that’s two instances that can read your DMs, and so can anybody who breaks into their server. In nostr, all DMs are encrypted by default and can only be read by the intended recipient.
E2E encryption is possible with AP. Besides, if what you’re talking about needs to be unreadable to third parties, you should probably use something like Matrix or Signal, especially considering how bad Mastodon’s DMs actually are.
How will Sonic fans react to the uptick in writing quality?
Aren’t you basically describing readthedocs.io?
Please don’t buy prints of AI art.
The only games that give me any trouble are some Japanese VNs, which can be absolutely cursed for some reason. Like, massive tech juggernauts like Cyberpunk are click and play, but I’ve spent hours getting books-with-PNGs working.
This meme would be so relatable if I had any friends.
Ah my bad, I remember one of the Miskey forks saying it had Masto API and just assumed it was a Miskey thing.
Mastodon doesn’t move posts.
