  • Personal data storage can be decentralized, although that’s missing the social part of the social network.

    Identities are set up through a centralized system that in theory they could change, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

    Relays supposedly can be decentralized, but need to handle all data on the network. So they require massive hosting costs that keep going up as more people use bluesky. Only large corporations can likely afford to run them, and that hasn’t happened yet.


  • I think it’s because instagram, youtube, and facebook are way bigger than reddit, so people coming from them are less likely to go to lemmy.

    But the way the fediverse works means they are useful even if they aren’t that popular yet. People can follow peertube accounts from mastodon or lemmy. I follow tons of mastodon accounts from my pixelfed acccount. And friendica can handle almost any type of content.






  • If you check “I’m an advanced user” in the settings, then hit the “More” button in the dropdown a few times it’ll show the more advanced interface that lets you choose which third party domains to allow. It doesn’t work quite the same since it blocks both content and scripts per site, but I find it good enough for my usage.

    edit: You can technically block just scripts per 3rd party site, but it involves manually editing the content type for your rules in the settings. It’s not part of the main interface, so I never bother using it.
