Pixelfed just overtook Lemmy as the 4th most used Fediverse software.

I can see. But if people have a choice to interpret something as 1) that a question about fashion is in fact an innocuous question about fashion, or 2) that he's obviously a rapist and victim blaming and I'm going to call him a rapist (when the entire tone of the thread and community is not serious), the problem that I see is that Lemmy is quick to misinterpret in the worst way possible.

And oddly enough, he was the person to escalate with that explanation, and I was the one to explain it.

How the fuck is peertube above Lemmy??? What the actual fuck??? Everytime I go there, it's the same 3 people who've made like 5 daily videos about linux....and nothing else ever.

I get that I'm not exactly the target linux audience, but if KDE pulls an update from version 6.1 to 6.2, THAT IS NOT BREAKING NEWS!!! You do not need 10 videos discussing the 4 new features every time any linux software updates.

But THAT has more users than THIS??? It's a broken down joke with a lot of potential that will never be realized until their search becomes intutive and all inclusive! I should have video results natively within the same page that pulls from ALL of peertube. Not just the current instance.

"Trending" should default to trending on all of peertube. You can include a filter to show trending on local instance only, but it shouldn't be the default.

That's on the assumption that the reader sees both possible meanings, though. Most people don't do that, the first meaning that comes to mind is the one we go with. It's a very rare person that will, without external prompting, go 'I wonder if he meant something else?'.

And oddly enough, he was the person to escalate with that explanation, and I was the one to explain it.

From his POV, you had already escalated. Yeah it was due to his misunderstanding. But at that point you were the one with a choice as to whether to nicely explain your actual original meaning, (and maybe edit the confusing line?) or just rage about everybody on Lemmy being quick to assume the worst. Nobody's the asshole here, it was a misunderstanding, but you could have chosen to make it better

Where did someone call you a rapist? Was it removed?

Hello from Mastodon.

All of these "talk" ActivityPub so Pixelfed should already integrate in some form with Lemmy.

In some countries with vpn blocking it's the only way to get videos. there's also a lot of instances that don't federate. The default English relays are quite bad for English speakers but in French for example there's a huge amount of content.

Unfortunately that doesn't work in lw

I think that there's a lot more on PeerTube than it seems because discoverability is so terrible. I can't confirm that, though, because I can't find any of it.

Maybe something like FediSearch will make it more useful?

How can you even make that assessment when half her outfit is obscured? This is so pathetic dude.

I remember somebody tried to talk to me recently about the economics of the third Reich without talking about the war. At some point you’re just ignoring what’s in front of you to the point where it’s dishonest.

You’re having a very real principal Skinner moment here. A lot of people are telling you the issue, yet you are hell bent on Hiding behind intention. Unfortunately intention is not enough. Especially when you double down in the face of valid critiques.

I know you don’t want advice from me but I’m going to give it anyway: take a beat, step away from this conversation, then come back and think about why people may have had a negative reaction to what you said. There is an important lesson here you can pick up if you want to.

Moderately certain this is already happening, as evidenced by loops showing up so often in my "all" tab. If I understand correctly (and for the love of all that is good, someone please correct me if I'm wrong), Loops is "hosted" via pixelfed.

Any good Android apps?

TbF I've seen plenty of wildly inappropriate bans on Lemmy too.

No one said they never happen ‍️

The open display of oligarchy at the inauguration has a bunch of people suddenly turned off of corporate social media sites in general. It's a meme, basically, but one that could have a positive effect. I'm happier about this than the people flocking to BlueSky.

Only enough people need to stay to make it a viable alternative for many. And even if it’s just the first step in migration away from Twitter/Meta then that’s still at least a step taken.
