I really don’t understand this. We want to block them now, because they will block us later and this will kill Fediverse. I don’t see a point really. Wouldn’t blocking them kill Fedi even faster? As far as I know, Lemmy is slowly losing it’s users. Letting them in will only strengthen Fediverse.

Last time I checked XMPP and e-mails are working just fine. I don’t know what you mean. How exactly Meta will kill Fedi?

How it will kill Fedi? Many people here are against big corporations so they will never quit Lemmy instance to move to Threads. But connecting to Threads will bring many new users. We can teach them the great power of Fediverse. We can communicate with each other despite having data on separate servers and anybody can choose an instance that is closer to their beliefs and opinions.

Idea of Fediverse is to provide decentralized network of social servers connected to each other. Defederation is an optional feature if some instance would go rogue. For now, connecting with Threads is not against Fediverse, it’s the opposite. Connecting with Threads fullfills the idea of Fediverse.

If you think you need to learn commands to open a folder you didn’t use Linux for the past 20 years. Most things are done now via a graphical environment such as Plasma or GNOME. It’s the more advanced things such as managing system services that are done via a terminal. But normal user really doesn’t have to do these kind of things for normal desktop use.

Both should be possible. I am using the psuedo 2FA method. First I type the PIN and after that I confirm with YubiKey.

It is, I have it set up on my laptop. It’s a bit finicky in how it works and it’s not easy to setup, but it is possible.

From what I’ve saw, Valve servers are offline so no official MM. You can play with bots, and play on community servers, but you have to connect via “connect” command in console, because community server browser is broken.

It’s not removed. You can still access latest CS:GO version via beta tab in game properties. Is it inconvenient? Yes. Is it shit that achievements for CSGO were removed? Yes. But you can still play it, and play on community servers.

I really don’t know what you are talking about. I’m using it on Linux and it runs great. Comparing Signal to Discord, as both are electron apps, Discord is pure shit, Signal works really well. It takes a couple seconds to load but it’s still faster than Discord for me.

I would prefer if it would use other cross-platform framework like Flutter or Qt, but you can’t have everything. It’s better to have electron app, than don’t havy any.
