As much as I want to take the piss, I relate to this man a lot.

I haven't got to this yet, but all I want to know is if the toff in my head ever shags the stable girl.

This isn't unique to the Green Party, pretty much all the major parties have internal divisions. Take the recent Labour stuff where the socialists have butted heads with technocratic front bench over the two child benefit cap. The Greens are different in that they don't whip their MPs or Cllrs, as they believe they should be free to vote with their conscience, which has the major disadvantage of making the party line muddy and hard to count on.

Where have they done that?

Yeah, I'm not going to defend Mastodon's frankly bizarre Like system. It's not even a privacy thing as favourites are fully public.

It simply can’t really happen due to the technical way Mastodon and Lemmy function. I’m not sure if there is a way to address this on either side (or if the developers would be willing to do so even if there was).

Mastodon needs to implement group support, you can follow the issue here (don't get your hopes up though).

This is very funny because I meant to put facetious.

Their app is open source, but it doesn't give any instructions on how to self-host it, in fact it seems to not have been designed with self-hosting in mind given the forking section of the ReadMe:

You have our blessing 🪄✨ to fork this application! However, it's very important to be clear to users when you're giving them a fork.

Please be sure to:

  • Change all branding in the repository and UI to clearly differentiate from Bluesky.
  • Change any support links (feedback, email, terms of service, etc) to your own systems.
  • Replace any analytics or error-collection systems with your own so we don't get super confused.

The impression I get from Bluesky is that it doesn't view federation as a core feature of its platform, just a nice technical oddity. I'm no expert on the AT protocol, but from a quick skim of the quickstart, their view of federation seems to be having disparate data repositories (Personal Data Servers) app developers can put their app data into. It doesn't really seems to be about different software communicating with each other.

In contrast, ActivityPub is about passing JSON between servers in a somewhat standard format so different software can reasonably understand what that JSON represents and act on it in a way that makes sense for that software.

(But again, I'm don't know anything about the AT protocol, I could be completely wrong here)

Hopefully they're not a cat person.

You might think I'm being factious with that title, but no, these people are genuinely beyond parody.

Daily Mail comment section. mrmingly: "Cancel my NT membership when they started this woke madness, and know of many others who have done likewise.. I joined to support the upkeep of some magnificent estates, not the woke dogma". Uber99 in reply: "me too."

Wow, what an odd thing for NASA Commercial Crew to post.

How do you spend 250 ~~billion~~ million on something and the only way people hear about it is the memes mocking how much of a failure it is? Is Morbius just the standard Sony marketing strategy now?
