I think corporate instances should be allowed only as hosts for accounts of their own employees. Letting large companies dominate the fediverse kind of diminishes the idea of putting control of social media back into hands of the people. If the companies really wanted to help the fediverse out they should be donating to fediverse projects rather than trying to monopolize it.

Good that you're taking some time for yourself. Long walks are nice.

This looks great! They even figured out Intel GPU and per-process GPU support.

My man, you're straight up fighting it up there with one of the largest websites on the internet with vastly more resources and you're delivering. You deserve the praise and encouragement.

Thanks! Makes sense. I saw "shaders" and linked it to the GPU.

Interesting! I think I'll keep it on and just deal with the fact that it runs on CPU and takes a while, then. I was just wondering if it running on CPU was a mistake or something wrong on my part.

From the documentation, it appears that the country codes are for localization presumbly of the names of the genders.

Edit: Ah, others already said this (didn't refresh and kbin doesn't update this automatically). Refer to above.

And now this is here, and development is being spurred on by the large migration, the next large Reddit crisis is likely to drive an even larger group here. Things will slowly build up and eventually you'll find that more things happen here than there.

Yup, send them a GDPR data request. https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043048352-How-do-I-request-a-copy-of-my-Reddit-data-and-information-

Yeah, it's literally very early days. This is new, everyone here has just flooded in, and things need time to sort out and stabilise. There isn't a "system" that works for everyone yet. We'll see new instances getting popular, drama and controversy, and so forth. That's normal on the internet.

I'd beg to differ, honestly. I'd love to see the fediverse take off. We desperately need an alternative to centralised everything where the actions of one company which almost always is profit-motivated can control everything you see and use your data for their own purposes.

I get what you mean by how a smaller community is nice to have, though. But that's also a benefit of the fediverse - you have a small community of your own with it's own culture, while not losing the connection to what's happening outside. And there's some cross-over that makes it easier to talk to others who aren't in your own community, without needing to adapt to their culture first.

I just wish boosting had a confirmation or a way to undo/delete (not sure if the Fediverse/ActivityPub supports this). My itchy Reddit migrant fingers have accidentally boosted several posts just because my monkey brain goes "ooh, large number" at this point :P
