As much as I find the idea great. The killer feature of TikTok is how easy it is to publish a video with filters and musics. Not sure how well a federated application can follow. Then, there is TikTok algorithm which is a common critic of the app but is how you get a never-ending flow of content which isn’t uninteresting enough for you to turn the app off

You can follow a lemmy community on Mastodon, and even comment from Mastodon.

It’s not optimum, you see it like the community retooting each post and then the comments as reply to post but it works

It’s crazy that people would rather migrate to a social media managed by a power hungry capitalist than to a “libre” platform

Considering how powerful is the copyright mafia (Remember that the pirate bay founder got jail-time) I totally understand why the people running the instance are doing so. I get why user are pissed off, but they’re free to host their own instance and deal by themselves with the legal liability

In term of UX the miss/calc/shark key beat Mastodon.

However, Mastodon has way more instances (including many ran by well established organisations) and a stabler codebase (while, regarding *key, I am a bit concerned by the amount of forks)

It’s the same fediverse so you would see the sa me federation from both

Feel like the *bin and the *key have a lot of cool features, but way too many forks to have a understandable product. It’s pitty

I am considering trying DCS as soon as I update my PC. (I have some experience in flight simulation, a HOTAS and rudder pedals and played a few air combat games too)

Is it as good as it seems ?

Do not under estimate the copyright mafia. The pirate bay admins spent time in jail (and didn’t host anything).

Hosting copyright infringement is taken seriously, including civil damage which would definitely bankrupt a non profit organization. But it could result in jail time if the administrators don’t take action.

A small team like LW (or any Lemmy instance) doesn’t have a team of lawyers dealing with that shit. Please be kind with your admin and follow the laws, even the ones which suck
