Well this name was definitely a lesson to double check what you read from a post when just scrolling on by…

Thanks for those!

Yeah seems to be much closer to that FB design than what I remember with Friendica. I tried it about a year ago and moved on from it pretty quickly, same experience that it just seemed buggy and slow.

I’ll keep an eye on Fedibook, thanks again!

Never heard of Fedibook, nice I have something new to research, thanks!

I just recently moved on to Misskey/Sharkey to replace Bluesky and X for myself. Signal is the next one I need to look into a lot more as I still use FB Messenger and need to get away from it

Okay I just reread your post, as I missed the bit you mentioned about instances like blahaj hiding the downvotes.

So a couple of questions for you.

You mentioned the communities aren’t on the instances that hide downvotes… Are these communities that live on instances that are not federated with for example blahaj.zone?

And also, you mentioned that instances that are hiding downvotes is also not a solution due to the downvoter and others still being able to see the downvotes. So I ask, why is that an issue for you? Why be worried about fake internet points that aren’t even really tracked here (unlike Reddit for example), that you can’t even see? Actual engagement in discussion between people is far more important no?

Orrr, move to an instance that has the downvotes disabled. They don’t exist if I can’t see them ☺️

This is going to be all about how they implement it imo. There was a specific line in that article “for those who want it”, if they go for an opt-in approach which only then installs the AI capabilities, then yeah okay I don’t mind as an end-user.

If however Canonical implement AI into Ubuntu without being opt-in, then I’m out and never turning back.

Maybe for ‘beginner friendly’ Arch distros in the future? It’s like the only use case I can think of
