Lemm.ee, another instance I am in, isn't hosting images anymore or letting people upload images directly due to this issue. When your platform is supposed to be 100% open source and decentralized, there are bound to be issues like this, and they should be dealt with, even if proprietary tech is necessary for it. I'm sorry to hear about this.

If the next platform won't be a fediverse/ActivityPub platform but an entirely new social network or another protocol, I hope there will be a way for existing beehaw.org users to migrate. I don't want to lose access to this community.

I created a lemm.ee account, and I might just mainly go on there instead of this one (or .world).

.world is so unstable that at this point its future is uncertain and I am ready to completely migrate either to beehaw or to some other instance.

There is literally no public torrent tracker out there that has no issues...

Vivaldi has a bunch of stuff I like - tab stacking, tiling, a functional sidebar that is actually useful, and full-on UI customization.

The colors are not that great. It's like a beautiful city being covered in grey smoke.

Russian-language independent media says otherwise. Websites like VK and RuTube will now require Russian Email addresses like yandex and mail-dot-ru.

Who tf uses DA for furry porn? There are way better websites nowadays

The same problem I have when it comes to Mastodon/Misskey/Firefish - I feel like everything is so fragmented, like I have to jump from one place to another. Thankfully, this applies significantly less in the "threadiverse" (Outdated name, we definitely need a new one) because there aren't 6 different platforms and tens of different forks, and Lemmy and Kbin are pretty much 100% compatible with one another, unlike those moments where you can't see Mastodon re-toots on Firefish a lot of the time or sometimes accounts' posts appear much later in a different instance. We don't need to worry about that here.

There is a variety of instances for Firefish, such as kitty.social. One weird thing I notices is that the Firefish logo is not consistent across all instances. ThatOneCalculator, creator of Firefish, was recently involved in some drama, so some instance owners put an alternative logo instead.

I like Firefish, I am on a Firefish instance myself, and I feel really good about it. It's fun to use and it federates with Mastodon most of the time, and with Misskey some of the time. Unfortunately, microblogging on the fediverse is not as straightforward as forums on the fediverse, as they're a lot more fragmented and there are 5 or 6 different platforms instead of 2 like we have here.
