I suspect retrofitting a whole new identity system to Fediverse will never happen because server admins, or instance admins, will come up with all kinds of reasons why they don’t like the idea of not knowing who their users are. Some of them would probably allow it, but I bet a whole bunch of them wouldn’t, and we’d get into this fragmentation where some servers won’t allow posts from those types of identity, etc. It seems to me much easier to take Nostr and just give it the functionality you get inside the Fediverse.

Agreed, but that is exactly how NOSTR identity works, and the reason I think NOSTR is such a great protocol.

You realize you’re describing Nostr right?

How is nostr promoting crypto?

Nostr is ultimately the way forward and he knows it. Nobody controlling your identity other than yourself.

Do we know they are monitoring our usage of the launcher?

It’s not worth getting this upset about this stuff. That’s my 2 cents.

I think Mlem lets you go directly to reader mode.

It’s this kind of nonsense that always makes me run back to my iPhone.

When I see people criticize something they have clearly not used I get motivated to try it.

I had a light camera. It was very good but it needed more cameras.

You’re absolutely right I had not realized it was collapsible.

True, but most other Lemmy apps, give you the option to just automatically open the article in Reeder mode. 

What I meant is that you can’t browse post in reader mode with any of the options provided. (I think). Summary view is awesome but that is not reader mode.

You’re assuming the bulk of the interaction with your phone is producing content instead of consuming.

I have never understood why people would like Lemmy and then look at any feed other than subscribed. You might as well use mastodon if just a free flow of posts is your thing. I do like the list of keywords though for those rare occasions I look at the universal feed.

I have lots of thoughts on this one. I totally agree that the amount of junk out there is on the increase. One of the reason I like Reddit/Lemmy is to crowd source the findings for worthwhile content. I think the secret is being selective of what you subscribe to. I also use reeder by Readwise and let it summarize using AI anything I throw its way. I then use the summary to decide if I even want to read the full content. I’m staring to pay more attention to platforms like Substack and paying for content. In general the problem you highlight is one that I think AI can’t help greatly in fixing. Maybe an AI that knows you and can pre read something and tell you if you should even bother.

Why is stupidity like this even reported as news?

Well, we’re gonna start teaching kids about the different types of power sources and their pros and cons, I sure hope we starts pushing more education about nuclear.

I prefer it that way. Let kids do their own research. They are just putting out a point of view in that video that is not crazy. I can only talk to that one video. I think this entire thread just highlights how talking about serious topics in forums like these is impossible. Most posts are not about the issue at hand. They mostly are about claiming the other side is evil.
