the local timeline would be a full time job to keep up with.
It's definitely not something I try to keep up with, but it's a nice scroll from time to time to discover things.

My last sentence was a reaction to
Eugen is literally selling out Fediverse users to data collection agencies, not exclusively limited to users on Mastodon instances as they scrape public posts.
I don't know how true the latter statement is, but even if it is, I don't see what's wrong with scraping public data, even for commercial reason. If the data was sensitive, it would not be public.
The only thing one may be worried about in this whole EUnomia story is that no privacy warning was attached to the registration form to eunomia.social which apparently was sending private data to mailchimp and google. Note that an appropriate privacy policy was added since then. The letter does not even complain about that, rather about the fact that he sold public data.
Are you claiming the point is that there are people whose job is to plan the public transportation, who have enough money to have more of it working but who purposefully decide not to? Why would they do that?
How does the Lemmy post interact with the toot?
How do cross-posts work for these options?
I was about to say that the (re)post in question might be a boost by the community profile to which the comments are replies. Then I remember that Mastodon is explicitly designed to forbid that (Don't know about other microblogging platforms though). Option 2 is probably close enough !
We blame drivers for driving, when we should be blaming transport planners for not providing enough public transport.
That's a vicious circle, people need cars because the transport offer is insufficient, taxpayers don't want to give more money for transport because most people don't use them as they already have cars.
Most. But there are also others, including "Le Monde" and "Le Figaro", which are probably the most famous french newspapers
Just added it. I wouldn't think it will be removed, other services in that list with no dedicated Wikipedia page also have links ...
A good first step in "advertising through Wikipedia" might be to add a link to join-lemmy on the "Fediverse" page.
Well, isn't the Fediverse a large scale open source project? I'd say the difference is that rather that a small company becoming big, what we aim at is more and more small companies becoming interoperable while each of them is still focused on their use case.
No, your Reddit subtitute won't replace Reddit, but it can interplay with more and more other Reddit substitutes, and the connected ensemble may someday replace Reddit.
Is this too idealistic ? 😀
Wizard is not important for me, but something with filters would be nice !
I don't understand what that means. What would happen if some corporation like Twitter enables federation? There will be instances A who federate with them, instances B who don't, and one beauty of the Fediverse is that this doesn't prevent instances A and B from federating with each other. Eventually, it's up to each instance admins to decide who they want to talk to. In the end people who want a social network independent from corporations will have one, and people who want to be able to communicate with as many others as possible without having a corporation spying on their private data or controlling their feed will have this ability. Am I missing something?
