@andresmh @evan I disabled this on my mail server. It is a spam magnet.

@anubis2814, I'm not very active there anymore (https://diasp.org/u/mapto).

How would that work? I suppose I need to have an account on a Friendica instance? From your experience, would you recommend an app or the web interface? I've been keen to explore the fediverse beyond masto and I've been enjoying lemmy a lot.

@kristinHenry not sure if you're actually looking for answers, but I can give you mine: I don't have a Meta account. My Facebook got stolen before I arrived here.

Context: Previously I was on Diaspora and had no reason to open ActivityPub-compatible. After the migration wave from Twitter, I joined and with this lost any half-interest to reopen on Meta.

@GrapheneOS "The current consensus seems to be that the latest version is not broken in known ways that are severe or relevant enough to affect end users, assuming the implementation is correct. That is about as safe as leaving exposed wires around your house because they are either not live or placed high enough that no one should touch them."

@huitema @mekkaokereke sounds quite reasonable to me. I wonder if anyone has counter arguments

@freemo my argument has its flip side. No one doing something for money can dedicate the resources necessary to compete with someone who does it with passion. Ultimately, monopolies are grown by someone who is both passionate about the product and pedantic about money

@freemo mainstream might be one of the important ways to do it. As you say, a broad coverage of the long tail might be another. Someone who cares about revenue would be much more attentive to these things than someone who is passionate about any literary genre.

@freemo I never said they sell mainstream books. I said they know better how to make money because they care more about money in comparison to a bookstore with management that cares about books and readership

@freemo is Amazon with bigger turnover or Ocult Bookstore?

@freemo someone focused on money would have much more "valuable" (in market terms) bookstore. Someone into books would have something that doesn't necessarily sell well, but relates to others passionate about reading, e.g. niche literature

@freemo of counting money is your goal in life, you'll probably end up doing it much more often and better than someone else who likes being with people or reading books :)
