I really don’t know enough to say one way or the other, but the fact that this is an established Microsoft practice swayed me. I can actually believe google didn’t intend to do what it did to xmpp as a log of google employees from the 2000’s speak highly of the company, but these executives are traded like nfl players, and i know enough about meta’s history to believe they may do this. Besides I’m still new to development, but i don’t see many other reasons why it would take meta nearly a year to fully launch federation.

Actually this just occurred to me, but isn’t it interesting which accounts were linked first?

Well, then, let’s make our point I’ll just email the holders of the instances I’m on and let them know I support defederating threads

This is an excellent point. Thanks!

in that case considering meta is saying that it would take nearly a year to federate the platform we probably should defederate them.

Okay. I’ve seen stuff like this on both mastodon, and here, but i haven’t heard about them doing anything that would actually harm the fediverse. I guess i don’t know what the problem is. I know they’ve got a negative reputation, and for good reason, but isn’t that the awesome part of threads being federated? We can follow and connect to people there without being part of their system, and therefor not susceptible to their bs? If I’m missing something please fill me in.

I will 100% look into that. Thanks a ton!

I’ve got so much to learn. Looking forward to it!

Thank you for the information! I’ll definitely include the errors from now on. I should have come here way sooner.

I actually got it working thanks to @fal@yiffit.net i learned two things. First i need to be more careful about what questions I’m asking. The second thing is to use ChatGPT wisely.

Not trolling. I used the repo link on the site that it gave for apt distros. Got a terminal error. That’s what i was told when i looked up the terminal error. I have absolutely no experience with docker, so i haven’t tried it.

UPDATE just saw the terminal code you shared. I’ll try that. The command i found to start the service was slightly different. Really appreciate your response.

Unfortunately I’ve had the same problem in two separate distros. Thanks for the advice though!

Yeah, arch isn’t the most welcoming to new users, or so I’ve heard lol.

I’ll have to look into those, although my knowledge right now is pretty limited. Might have to wait until i finish my course. I don’t even know anything about react, or similar systems yet, and I’m just learning PostgreSQL. Thanks for the help!

This is awesome info. Thanks! I’ll have to look into it. Would be an interesting side project to work on as i learn.

Yes, but as well as the old stuff you get cool stuff like native postgresql!

OMG, i was right!!!

Linux mint.

I think Arch. Linux would make sense more as one of those fancy setups you’re always seeing on YouTube. The ones with the awesome ports, and the calming effect. I just started using zorin, and it’s more like one of those top of the line machines that can start the coffee automatically in the morning lol.

I’m really enjoying zorin right now.

Where’s vscode? Lol
