When I want to have back and forth between people on a regular basis, I choose chat apps. Mastodon feels like it's trying to be a poorly designed chat app.

It feels like your summary missed the lesson of the study. Don't share the misinformation at all. Otherwise, you're helping the spread of misinformation.

I do worry that they’ll run out of money before they can do the work to let the ecosystem become sustainable by itself.

I'm mildly concerned about this as well.

You don't need to access information via the relay. You can have a client get information directly from PDSes or Appviews that don't get their information from the relay.

I'm in favor of defederation from hexbear.

Just about anything related to moderation tools.
Dealing with the All feed properly.
Users being able to configure default sorting on posts.
etc.

Lemmy needs to mature on a technical basis. The Lemmy service itself is still lacking significantly. But it it progressing.

Outside of technical limitations, focus on communities. A few good ones are better than many mediocre ones.

I hope they start supporting people who want to run an indexer. Right now they just point to their source code and say, "if you can get this largely undocumented complex service running on your own, you can run a indexer, but don't ask us for any help".

I'm not entirely confident that it will happen before their only funding source decides to cut off the cash flow.

The Justice Department’s lawsuit filings say the states violated long-standing federal law that prevents eligible voters from being removed from the voting rolls within 90 days of a federal election.

The law and order party doesn't like following the law.

Interesting comments there. Thanks for the pointer!

This is great! Thanks!

there are distinct cultures between different instances and it is a strength of the Fediverse that instances are not just faceless pieces of infrastructure, i.e. pipes to content, but rather thriving communities with real people behind them.

Yeah, that deserves emphasis.
