  • test @lemmy.ml

    This is a test

  • @thelsim

    Some people call me by my username ("reiver") when they meet me in person.

    To me, it is as much my name as my given-names are.

    ...

    When I consider signing up for a new platform — if my preferred username isn't available, I often won't join.

    ...

    Which never used to be a problem — as it is an obscure English word using its archaic spelling —

    But, there are a lot more people on the Internet now, than there were two or more decades ago. So sometimes it gets taken by someone else.

  • @originalishname

    I'll just replace "girlfriend" with "wife" since I am married —

    Nothing happens. My wife knows me well. There isn't anything I think would surprise her.

  • @nix @spaduf

    I think this is a presentation & user-experience issue with Mastodon applications

    Many (maybe all) the Mastodon applications currently treat posts from a group the same as posts from a person

    And show a reverse chronological-feed of everything (including boosts)

    That isn't ideal. And is part of what makes it challenging for Mastodon users to participate

    IMO, it would be a better UX if Mastodon applications presented groups differently

    ...

    BTW, I'm posting this from Mastodon

  • @cygnusvelum

    Yes.

    There isn't much that could make me not want to have kids.

    ...

    I actually already have children. It is one of the best things I have ever done in my life.

  • @nivenkos @Ransom

    Ha! 🙂 — I did that too back in the day.

    But only to friends, as a joke.

    This was back before e-mail spam was a thing.

  • @hitmyspot

    It is all automatic.

    You maintain the same relationship after the move.

    If you just followed them, but they didn't follow you — that continues after the move.

    If they just followed you, but you didn't follow them — that continues after the move.

    If you followed each other — that continues after the move.

    It is all automatic.

    ...

    As a user, if someone who follows you moves their account, you see that as a new follow in your notifications.

  • @Euraru

    Yes — assuming it is safe — I have a family to support and care for (so have to think of them, too).

    I want to see what's there — and see it first hand for myself.

    Similar reason why I travel to different parts of the world to see things.

    I think this is more than just curiosity.

  • @hitmyspot @hotmilky

    That is what happens on Mastodon now when someone moves their account from one server to another — you get a notification of them following you from the other server.

  • @Ghast

    I'm not sure if that is a question or not, but in case it is —

    Yes, that is correct.

  • @dookie

    What are about Mastodon, that you like, that Pleroma lacks?

  • @Bicyclejohn

    It depends on what you mean by "replace".

    The Fediverse may cause centralized social-media networks to join the Fediverse.

    There are some hints of that happening now.

    Facebook / Meta has created a new social-media network that is part of the Fediverse.

    Tumblr and Flickr are said to be joining the Fediverse.

    So, some "popular social media" may become one with the Fediverse.

  • @Mango7874 @poVoq

    Nothing is "official" on the Fediverse.

    Because it is decentralized, no one controls it (and thus nothing can be "official").

  • @Mango7874

    I'm on the Fediverse, but not on Lemmy.

    And I am replying to you.

    Welcome to the Fediverse!
