East, West or North Frisia?


I share the same experience. Lemmy imitates Reddit, Mastodon imitates Twitter. The concept of Twitter might be more reliant on algorithms than that of Reddit, algorithms that Mastodon mostly lacks. Bluesky is a Twitter alternative designed for federation that has algorithms, and it appears more lively to me. The same might be true for Threads but I won’t test this out.


I’m rather sceptical that this can work as a good alternative to Wikipedia. Wikipedia’s content moderation system is in my opinion both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness. To create a better Wikipedia, you would have to somehow innovate in that regard. I don’t think federation helps in any way with this problem. I do though see potential in Ibis for niche wikis which are currently mostly hosted on fandom.org. If you could create distinct wiki’s for different topics and allow them to interconnect when it makes sense, Ibis might have a chance there.
You can download your account settings as a JSON file. That includes the lists of followed communities, saved posts and comments, and blocked instances, communities and users. I’m not aware of any other way to download additional data.


This is OBVIOUSLY just in case some future government might do something that COULD be misconstrued as abuse of office. TOTALLY unrelated to anything the current government might want to do.
