I want a Computerphile video where Tom Scott explains how federation works.

TFW it is just like his time zones video…

I imagine federation can be equally frustrating.


The time zones video is an all time(zone) classic

The part that always sends me is the astrophysicist going “Excuse me, we just had a leap second”.
Like it’s an accident that just happened and now the whole world needs to adjust their clocks.




Like email. 🤷‍♂️

it’s magic

A salute to the furries that maintain our tech infrastructure despite the noobs that own and run things.

o7


Not until 1GHz it isn’t :’)


What in the flip is wrong with that guy’s chest fur!? XD





I wonder if I could stitch that together out of random segments.



This internet as it was meant to be.


sth sth every new technology is immediately used for porn

lemmynsfw.com

even though I’m stuck in a “confirm age” loop





penis.clownfart

If this isn’t real, it should be

Look at the reality police here, probably has real eyes

Take your upvote and get out.



It’s from a real SNL comedy skit, but there is no .clownfart domain (at least, not yet).



trashbat.co.ck

The error message dissapointed me way to much. I realy wanted it to be real


That’s well weapon.





I miss walmart.horse

(The site was just a picture of a Walmart with a horse in front of it)

The kind of shit the internet ought to be for, tbh



I tried getting in on yiffit.net, but they weren’t taking new users at the time. Kinda sad about that.

I almost chose Lemmygrad for my first account because it’s an excellent pun and I didn’t know that it was for ACTUAL tankies before reading closer.

I’m not sure my enthusiasm for the project would have survived making that mistake at the very beginning lol


dw you still got bark.lgbt/ , woof.group, chitter.xyz , kinkycats.org , thicc.horse , furry.energy , pawb.fun , tiggi.es , …

there is so so many furry mastodon instances

Not a furry, but thicc.horse is a crazy good instance name.


can i somehow see posts on a mastodon instance without needing an account?

ok nvm only some instances need an account …

if they are federated from your mastodon, you should be able to see the posts just fine



Sadly, I care not for microbloging, so most of those links do me no good. I appreciate the effort though.





Could someone explain the joke? I don’t get what Tom Scott is doing here.

I’m guessing it’s because Tom Scott goes to plenty of places and some Fediverse users use plenty of instances


Is he like some travel YouTuber?

To my knowledge he basically goes to historically or technologically interesting places like Nuclear Reactors or old bridges and just talks about them.

I think he is a programmer too so it kinda fits.






I don’t know if penis.gay exists, but it should. Think about it. If you’re a gay dude, and you’re out and proud, what better way to find other gay dudes who are also out and proud?

I don’t know how social interaction works with finding other like minded gay guys, but do you know how thrilled straight men would be if women had a horny.drippingpussy instance that they used when they wanted sex?

I think part of the problem with guys trying to find sex, is chasing it from people who are in no way interested. So if Tom flirts with Sally, but Sally is asexual, then Tom has a 0% succsess potential if he hits on her at the bar. But he doesn’t know that. So after he gets rejected, now he feels bad about himself. Nobody likes getting rejected.

But if Tom went on nsfwlemmy, and found Tina@horny.drippingpussy then he would know that she’s just like a Buffalo NY city street in December. Ready to be plowed.

And for gay guys, penis.gay would let them identify to each other that they’re all like minded, and judgement free.

Although as I think about this, at least in America, it may not be the best idea, because now ICE is essentially becoming the S.S. and using social media activity to track “undesirables”. And I don’t trust the republicans to be open minded and empathetic. We all know what the nazis did with gay people in the 30s/40s.

So I guess it would be one of those things that would be great in a perfect world…but because we live in this reality, we can’t have nice things.

A good alternative would be …

penis.mightier

That one should be for writers. Poets and authors and literature enthusiasts. Feign ignorance if anyone comments on the name.



It’s not an instance, and that is one hell of a landing page.

https://penis.gay/

for other curious minds

Wow, it’s like a blast from the past. It looks like the kind of personal webpage you’d stumble across back in 2000. The only thing missing is music that auto plays when the page loads (thank goodness.)

It did remind me of the geocities days.





What if you just join cause you think penises are gay?

Penises are pretty gay tbh



I just checked, and penis.gay is currently taken. However, penis.world and penis.fit are both available, albeit expensive.

I’m pretty sure it’s one of you fucks that did this too

Wasn’t me, I’m content with just mulesex.info and owmyass.help.




Would be funny to make a penis.straight for a bunch of straight guys show up, but then it’s nothing but dudes, so it becomes . gay anyways lol


From what I’ve heard, hooking up is already pretty easy for gay guys. Basically “u want sum fuk?”

lemmy.smash and this is the instance mascot

lemmy.smash

disappointed that this is not a real TLD




I know touch.wang is a real domain.

Idk, that sounds like the type of username some aces I know would use. Granted, they’re also the type who’d love to be spitroasted…

I am extremely uneducated about this point, but how are “asexual” and “love to be spitroasted” compatible things in the same person?

Feel free to tell me to just search this on my own, but I am hella confused and if you can spare the time, that would help me greatly.

A lot if horny people like the idea of joining the LGBT club and ironically found the Asexual label the easiest one to morph to their desires.

So now a lot of people online will say asexuals are still very much sexual, and help that be a self-fulfilling prophecy by not caring that it makes people looking for others who are naturally not sexual very uncomfortable to be considered under the same label.

No, that’s bigoted nonsense. Trans people had to suffer well meaning cis people crying about “transtrenders” in the 10s and I guess aces have to deal with this too now.

Asexuality is lack of sexual attraction. Attraction is like hunger. Some people like to eat sweets even when they’re not hungry, some people don’t. The words for that are “sex positive ace” and “sex repulsed ace”.

Asexuality is also an umbrella. There’s demisexuals, grey aces, and others under the umbrella.

Also also, there’s aces who are into kink, but not genitals.

“and help that be a self-fulfilling prophecy by not caring that it makes people looking for others who are naturally not sexual very uncomfortable to be considered under the same label.”

Thanks for being among them. This is why I don’t use that descriptor online anymore, nor go to online asexual communities.

There’s a lot of people whose sexuality is NO, and being forced to share “safe” spaces online for their shared lack of sexuality with people who also say they’re asexual but their sexuality is YES is awkward, uncomfortable, and off-putting.

AKA no longer safe spaces (or a safe to use label) for those whose sexuality is NO.

Currently, thankfully, people offline still seem to understand “I’m asexual” means “No, I do not want to fuck. Not anyone, not ever.”

So you want to exclude sex positive aces from the community because sharing the label makes you feel yucky?





You can be asexual – not experiencing sexual attraction to some degree – while still enjoying the act itself. But you can also be totally opposed to any sexual activity, it’s a spectrum like most sexualities.


Ace refers to who you are attracted to sexually, not what acts you find enjoyable. You can just enjoy the physical stimulation (also some aces enjoy sex with partners as a part of a romantic relationship, but not sure if that applies to what I said.



You know asexual people who like getting plowed by multiple people simultaneously? Huh.

Just one. But yeah. Not exactly a demographic I seek out.





I was on
mastodon.social (too big)
mastodon.world (still big)
mas.to (Cloudflare 💩)
mstdn.social (too busy)
infosec.exchange (Threads 💩)
sharkey.world (currently)


Why would you want multiple accounts on the same software? Having a Mastodon, a Misskey/Sharkey, a Lemmy, a Mbin, a Wafrn, etc., that makes sense - each one of those have different tech and very different communities. But why would you want more than one Lemmy?

I asked this question to someone I saw frequently instance hopping and they said it was related to instance federation and the spread of posted content, as well as their desire to advertise lesser known instances. I think it’s a little disorienting and creates the opportunity for dopplegangers but it was a much more satisfying motivation than avoiding bans.


I’ve swapped for various reasons: instance shutting down, defederation by major instance I interest with, etc, downvotes vs no downvotes. I also like having at least two I can easily swap between in case one is down.


Literally every single Lemmy instance I’ve ever joined (and then some) has suffered significant long-term outages or degradation of service on a semi-regular basis. I don’t use any other social media. So, when I’m looking for my “fix”, I don’t have time to bullshit around and wait for penis.gay to get to the bottom of their their issues. I want my engagement and I want it now. So off to lemmy.wtf I go if it’s up.

But also, some of us have serious accounts geared towards specific topics/hobbies, accounts where we might share information that could be publicly identifiable, and farting around shit post accounts all separated out. Easier to keep the creeps away.


  • Insurance. Some big instances have closed down, others regularly go into maintenance, you never know when one might decide to enshittify itself. Federation gives us the ability to use a different instance if needed, and it costs nothing to have some accounts ready to use should you be unable to use your main one.
  • Compartmentation. Wouldn’t want to open the account where I’m subscribed mainly to porn on the bus or at work.
  • Access. Not all instances federate with the same set of instances. Having accounts on instances with different federation policies lets you access more of the fediverse.

I wish lemmynsfw had better performance ….



Of the four real instances in that image, there are three different software platforms.





I was on blahaj.zone until they decided they didn’t like it when you call out admin abuse

What happened?

Inconsistent application of instance/community rules

Ah, bummer. Good thing there are other instances and platforms! Mbin is my favorite so far.

Some instance admins respond to report abuse and intentional troll brigading differently than Reddit would have. You can probably surmise what a ‘blahaj’ instance has to deal with.

Ultimately there being many instances and platforms for people to migrate to over, even on a whim is, in fact, a good thing. That sense of mobility and independence is valuable to the Fediverse.

Reddit totally ignores report abuse, which is crazy. At least we can see who is trolling via reports and ban their accounts here.




Would you be able to elaborate on this, maybe?




blahaj is a clown show of an instance


it’s just opinionated as fuck and full of censorship

If you don’t follow the rules of the master Ada, you’re automatically transphobic or something

fucking sect
