Hey, not fair. It’s one user, ok? I mean, that’s me, but still

You say you hear about protests and community action. They have to have been organized by someone. Is there a way for you to find out by whom? Then you could they to reach out to them

I know this a a joke but in case some people are actually curious: The manufacturer gives the capacity in Terabytes (= 1 Trillion Bytes) and the operating system probably shows it in Tebibytes (1024^4 Bytes ≈ 1.1 Trillion Bytes). So 2 Terabytes are two trillion bytes which is approximately 1.82 Tebibytes

Fun fact: O.K. actually originated as the abbreviation for „oll korrect“ because people in the 1800s thought it was super funny to misspell things

I think the message is „Landlords and Murderers are bad people but even they are disgusted by people who use the term female to refer to women“

I never said people shouldn’t have that right, i was just genuinely wondering why it’s important to people. Thanks for the insight, definitely good points you make. :) But somehow I think, if a big company wants to scrape that data (thats still publicly available, whether you make it natively searchable or not) they can do it anyway. So if you’re worried about that, shouldn’t you rather just not post that stuff to the public? (I want to emphasise again that I’m not trying to argue against you, I just want to understand as I’m not that well versed on these topics)

Genuine question: why would people have a problem with making stuff you post publicly searchable?

I do on my work computer, bc I don’t really have another choice there. But as it’s chromium based it’s actually not that big of a pain in the ass to use compared to internet explorer back then. But in my personal life I would still never use it

Thats exactly the answer I was looking for, thank you!

Thanks for your response! It’s a very good explanation of the concept of federation, although that wasn’t what I meant. I get why switching between instances of a certain platform (like Lemmy) can make sense, for the reasons you mentioned. But not what the differences are between having an account on Lemmy vs. Mastodon for example, if they’re interconnected.
