Fediverse ? Mastodon ? Matrix ? How is different from (and better than) alternatives like BlueSky ?
2025.01.23 12:21 panbeatsgoten Fediverse ? Mastodon ? Matrix ? How is different from (and better than) alternatives like BlueSky ?
As many muggles, for the last few days I have been looking into alternatives to Meta/X… But I am trying to understand how social media systems work, before jumping to the first platform that seems to be shouted out the most (like Bluesky).
Sorry if this sounds off, I first wanted to share on the /socialmedia sub but got deleted...
I am trying to better understand the Internet’s shift from a free and creatively buzzing place to business owned and controlled, where humans are simply manipulated to be greater consumers, sleeping citizens.
I just would love to discuss with anyone who’s interested, who cares, who knows better than I do, so I can perhaps share better information to my friends and relatives when I cut from Instagram, Facebook, maybe WhatsApp (?), Google products, and so on.
Please, correct me if I’m saying stupid. And let me know if my thinking is correct other times. It gets a bit overwhelming !
From what I understand, Bluesky won’t be any different from X or Meta in a few years (maybe sooner). It creates a needed competition, needed only because social media is currently owned by companies, in a purpose of user growth, inclined to sell data to make money, leading to people being trapped by algorithms and exposed to censorship as we’re clearly witnessing now.
So, if people are looking for a “single” social media platform to move to, it should be owned by developers who never ever would be interested in selling it when it gets so big that millions are being offered to them from giants who own most lucrative companies and, by extension, control the world. -> Chances for this never-to-be-sold platform to exist are next to zero. And more importantly, can never be guaranteed. It has always happened, even here on Reddit… and it’s a real shame Swartz isn’t here anymore.
So, it seems like a paradigm shift is needed. Social media has we know it needs to die. We have to make the shift, either to leave completely, or to train our brains differently and get used to new systems which do not rely on single individuals owning servers and platforms.
My guess is that because it demands real work in order to change our way of using social media, the majority cannot be bothered to. It is just unclear, unusual, uncomfortable, it is not (for now) intuitive, so why should we care ? If we don’t see personally and cannot really “feel” the harm, cannot really understand why it is so important to stay free on this parallel universe which gives so much power in real life?
So : I have come across Fediverse. I get the feeling it is a real alternative, unusual in its mechanics. I also think it is similar to Mastodon, but is it really ? How does Matrix get in all this ?
I know a lot of you are real cracks; I would love to understand better the alternatives that exist, be critical before choosing either to leave it all or support real good ones.
I believe many others are currently interested in this too.
Many thanks for your time, your help, your work if this is something you are already part of.

2025.01.23 12:21 xX__INFINITY__Xx A Fun Game
Hi, just wanted to say good work on the game. I'm really enjoying the style of this game.
I was expecting it to be a UE5 slop game. But there are well implemented mechanics and seemingly good performance optimization. As well as plenty of options for graphic control.
I have experienced some bugs, and I have some critiques and suggestions. So i''m working on a list of critiques/suggestions that I will submit to the discord for your reading. Hoping it will benefit your game.

2025.01.23 12:21 juan-querendon Question with switching to private health insurance
I received a raised recently that allows me to go to the Private health insurance. I'm M(34) with no previous diseases or anything. I've reviewed the offers on Check24 and they come as low as 250 eur per month.
I'm not really planning on having kids in the near future and also not planning to retire in Germany.
I'm thinking I would be saving around 200 eur net per month by switching to the private insurance. Is this correct?
What disadvantages do you see in this situation?
Also , my boss mentioned to me that I will not be able to switch immediately, that I would have to wait a year with this salary to be able to switch. Is this correct?

2025.01.23 12:21 NottaLottaOcelot What does your office provide for patient give-away?
Curious what other offices provide.
Ours has patients leave each appointment and a pack of floss. We don’t do mouthrinse samples, as it’s so flipping expensive. I’ve occasionally gotten proxa brushes as there are lots of patients that benefit from them, but they get costly too.
For our treasure chest for kids I keep things like individual play-doh and hot wheels. I’d love to find a good toy supplier, but again, if it’s not complete crap it can get really expensive.

2025.01.23 12:21 d1ssasterpiece How do I stop freezing up around this girl after what she has done to me
Hello 13M here,
Throughout last year, i was subjected to on and off verbal/mental bullying (not gonna go into detail) by multiple different girls, but one girl in particular 'L' caused me the most pain out of all of them. Now no matter what she does, or how she acts, i feel my heart racing both out of fear and nervousness. At one point, I was called to the office to help comfort a girl, but they got 'L' to come and get me, the entire time i was alert of her coming to get me it felt like i couldn't breath.
(I think i should point out that i do not have any sort of trauma or PTSD of any sorts)
I feel so stupid for acting this way, I just want to man up and actually live my school life without fear. But i have to always freeze up around her and the others.
I have tried to get closer with L in class (via being stupid) to help get stronger and less afraid around her, but its still the same.
Any advice to help me man up n stop being a pussy??
(sorry for bad wording)

2025.01.23 12:20 Agreeable-Dance-5946 Cult of Reese can’t handle criticism - receipts!
 | A former member of the Reese FB group sent screenshots from a recent conversation on one of the posts. These people stood up for their views, dared criticize and question Reese and have now been thrown out of the group. This is proof that Reese now has managed to create her own little cult where no opinions questioning her are allowed. We have receipts Reese! good on them for voicing their concerns probably knowing this would happen. Although, a stupid move from the cult of Reese as this only proves what we knew, that she can’t handle criticism and critical thinking, only wanting ass-kissers in her cult. submitted by Agreeable-Dance-5946 to UnrelatableReese [link] [comments] |
