Should we be suggesting Catodon/Sharkey/Misskey over Mastodon for new users?

fun movie, and this should make a great demo disc for home theaters

Frieren S2 - writing in this season of Frieren didn’t feel as good as in S1.

I was thinking about this when the season started, but I think it’s just hard to compare against 28 episodes of season 1. Rewatching them together, I think season 2 fits in just fine.

I can’t imagine S1 having the same impact if it was only 10 episodes, ending with Aura. No Kraft, no Sein, no mirrored lotus ring, no Old Man Voll, no mage exam, no Denken, no Serie at all??

Anything to look out for? I see RE:Zero here but the first few episodes didn’t grab me at all. That might be the only isekai I’ve seen, but I don’t think the genre appeals to me.

I love Frieren, Dragon Ball everything, FMA, Outlaw Star, Death Note (yea I’m a basic bitch anime watcher lol). My friend showed me Solo Leveling recently and I hated that lol, too shallow. Been enjoying Sentenced to Be a Hero recently, haven’t seen the finale yet though. I generally don’t enjoy comedy animes (unless you count OPM).

lol this is why I think being able to disable downvotes from non-subscribers is a good idea

yea I might have to go out of my way to watch some of the nominees next time

my favorite system for these kinds of votes is making 1 comment for each anime, and letting people upvote/downvote them (or only count the upvotes?)

maybe I need to start watching more anime so I can vote next time lol (and then I probably end up voting for Frieren anyways lol but at least it’d be fair!)

Wait where’s the dub?

Kubuntu uses Discover instead of the Ubuntu App Center

It’s really easy to avoid Snaps

I would love to see a federation model where each user has an encrypted profile and content in their own archive that they manage and/or have stored somewhere for them, which they can then use to join servers and choose what data from their profile they share with who else on that server, as well as participate in server local and federated public channels, as well as private data exchanges facilitated but not readable by the server or federated network of servers you have a user account signed up.

This sounds like more work/requirements/issues placed on the casual users, it won’t work, people are too lazy. You have to lean into the 90%/9%/1% rule and let the instance admins and community moderators handle everything for the casual users.

You’re right though, it doesn’t need to be ActivityPub. However no one says a platform can’t support multiple federation protocols at the same time, at least while a transition is ongoing.

pretty sure PieFed is easier to host

is this an Ubuntu problem that I’m too Kubuntu to understand?

I think user friction without federation will always result in too much lock-in. Federation is our only chance to actually defeat the network effect and allow new platforms/instances to actually have a fighting chance at competing when they are better.

mine just says to join thelemmy.club or lemmus.org as the default, it doesn’t show a list by default

screenshot of default recommendation when you open the https://join-lemmy.org/ page:

you mean https://join-lemmy.org/ ? they’ve removed those recommendations actually

Yes otherwise the season would’ve ended in the middle of an arc, or so I’ve heard

IDK I think it works brilliantly.

It prevents the iron grip on users/content like Reddit/Twitter have achieved. Enshitification can be defeated by moving instances, which is way easier when it can be done piecemeal instead of all at once, users can move at will and not even lose their friends and communities. Lemmy.world is less than a third of the Threadiverse, and only like 1% of the Fediverse. Enshitification relies on slowly boiling the frog, but here with federation that would cause a slow bleed of users moving until there’s no one left in your enshitified instance. Finding alternatives is really easy and you’ll already be used to the software since there are other instances with the same software.

If the software tries to enshitify then the code can be forked, instance admins can band together to support the new fork. Or switch to a different platform entirely like PieFed instead of Lemmy. Or even just changing the frontend to Photon or something like that.

better than Dragon Ball Super lol, 9 years between seasons

politically intense

PieFed is good about being able to easily filter that stuff out, it’s better than Lemmy, it even asks if you want that when you signup
