And it's going to be functionally all Canadians who are living near or below the poverty line. You can't afford enough carbon to pay more in tax than you get back in rebate if you're not rich enough to be irresponsible.

Huh. The mods over at c/rpg deleted the original post for "self promotion without community participation". Which seems like a great way to keep independent designers on corporate sites.
It's not like anyone is active there. Even the mods.
Well, it really depends on what one wants the fediverse to be. Should it be homogenized? Or heterogeneus? Having new servers auto-synchronize with the "top" (however one defines this) existing sites promotes homogeneity and the simulation of centralized social media. This seems to be what people here today want.
But if you're creating a simulacrum of centralized social media, you have to answer the question: Why wouldn't I just stay on an actually centralized service?
The fesiverse has the chance to be something new, if we just abandon the desire to make believe that it's like what we already have.
Hey Marcus! Great to see you over here! You should check out dice.camp if you haven't explored Mastodon yet.
For anyone interested, I have the print editions of all 3 QuarterShots books, and they are really great. I can't recommend them highly enough.
Check out Deficient Master's review for some better details. He sums things up better than I ever could.
And this is why the advertisers own the Internet now
I really think we need to stop looking for a single-service solution to everything.
Because the influencer market knows how to leverage microblogs to generate an income.
It's not recent. It's been a common misspelling for years. You're probably experiencing the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon.
I cannot tell whether this is being asked in an aggressive or derisive tone. Out of curiosity, how would you respond to:
What the heck is a greenback? Slang for the American dollar?
if it was asked in c/USA on lemmy.us?
Adding servers to the federation list is just white-listing them. It's not actually establishing syndication in any way. You don't syndicate at the website level, you syndicate at the user level.
The way the system works is, a user on your website subscribes to a user on another website, and from that point forward the remote website starts sending your website that one user's posts, addressed to any and all users on your website who requested them. Your website then receives and stories a copy of all future posts from the remote user, and adds them to the subscribing users' feeds.
This subscription is very much like a magazine subscription. Your site does not receive the back catalogue. It does not automatically receive other magazines (users) published (hosted) by the same publisher (website). You only get what has been requested, from the point the request has been accepted onward.
There is no canonical fediverse that you can just see. It's not a centralized system, which means there's no source of truth to tap into. It's a mass, opt-in content syndication technology, where you have direct access to the locally hosted content on the single website you are using. The fact that much of that content originated elsewhere presents the illusion of some centralized whole, but it's just that: an illusion.
- So, the thing to keep in mind is that "PixelFed" is not a place where you can go to see things. It's the name of the software that powers a bunch of websites. You're using a website. That website knows about what is hosted locally. Your friend? They're using a different website. When you look up their account/ you're looking up a copy of that account that's been sent to your website. If things are happening on other websites, your website doesn't know about any of that, any more than Reddit knows what your friend posted on Facebook.
The whole fediverse works by requesting remote accounts to send your website a copy of whatever they post. This works like a magazine subscription. Your dentist (the website you're using) says "please end me Kichae Quarterly" and the publisher sends them a copy every time a new edition is publisbed. When you go for a cleaning, they have a copy of every edition starting at the time their subscription started. They do not have the back catalogue, and they certainly don't have copies of everyrhing the publisher has received in the mail (comments, favourites, etc.)
- Are you using the same server? Which website are you using? If you create an account on a different website, it's a different website. If it's the same website, well, storage costs money, and your account was inactive. Maybe they just removed the old posts?
I haven't run many true one-shots. Not short, contained, focused, pre-written adventures. Usually I'm just cobbling things together (which is why I actually really love your books). But I've always wanted to play the We Be Goblins! series.
