Is it just me or does the Lemmy community actively ignoring the existence of kbin? I see a lot of posts explicitly mentioning Lemmy users but only posts from kbinners mention both platforms.

Das ist ein potentieller Offensivinternetbeitrag

I for example almost always append an "Edit:" note even though it initially is Reddiquette not Fediquette. Also you could use Mastodon for kbin content, it shows edit notes and edit histories

I think they're scared by the growth of kbin haha

No but for real, Federation is about being open in my opinion. We have modlogs, everything. Then please provide information about why you exclude x from doing y.

I've been boycotting Reddit for three weeks so far but I did come back today. I deleted my content and commented about a possible GDPR (DSGVO in German) lawsuit if they bring back my content. I recorded my user page pre deletion, while deletion and after deletion. I have the exact date and time in the global menu so there is no fracking around from Reddit. I'll happily contact the German agency responsible for GDPR complaints.

Oh woh. Well I agree on Reddit being in need of making a profit. I uderstand he found Reddit and does not want it to die. But the problem is the "fuck you" price. I would be totally fine to pay Reddit Premium to keep using 3rd party apps. I would have been okay with paying 40 bucks a month instead of 20 to the 3rd party app so the dev can pay the API fees.
But what u/spez is constantly doing and showing is driving me away from being nice and respectful to him. He blackmails 3rd party devs, he falsely accuses them of saying things that never happened. If he just said "I do now want 3rd party apps anymore" I'd be frustrated but I'd forgive and forget. At this point u/spez just seems to fight with the mindset of a preschooler against the community.
Oh and he is sympathizing with Musk and his moderation and way to run a company. These two things already made me say FUCK NO to Twitter.

Edit: he also fucked with long time, loyal super moderators

Ein wehrunangenehmer Pfosten mit der feinsten Vermeidung sämtlicher Anglizismen - so mag ich das.
Statt "du H*******hn" benutze ich ganz gern "du Sohn einer Mutter". Sorgt immer für ganz lustige Blicke haha

Hey, I just wanted to know if the general user base would be fine with OC content crossposted from Reddit. I have maybe 10 OC memes and I want to contribute to the Fediverse, but try not to annoy anyone, especially since these have my Reddit username as watermark.

So would you all be fine with this?

Ich hasse es so sehr, dass ich diesen Pfosten so fühle.

Na, nun sprüh doch nicht den Teufel an die Wand

I agree with all of this, as long as video will be allowed once there is a useable player for it.

[-] Semmelstulle@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

That's because they are very different technologies and approaches. They share the content through ActivityPub but that's mostly it.

EDIT: LONG POST, my opinion are backed on years of interest in the topics as well as first hand experience.

I'll go Windows x Android first:
Windows is a privacy nightmare. You can try and fight it but you can and will break things along the way. So I'll basically advise you to use anything else.
Android in the other hand has some options to flash custom ROMs and thus you can change what's running. But you're stuck with /e/ OS if you want real privacy without giving up on almost everything Google, banking apps, etc. There are other Android forks but most of them focus on security, features, gimmicks, etc. So at least there you have a good amount of control. You can use Android with KDE Connect for actually good cross device features in my personal opinion.

macOS iOS:
These are fully controlled by Apple. Sure, Apple goes hard against 3RD PARTY tracking, but does not tell you you need to switch off 1st party tracking within multiple settings pages (own experience). There have been some reports about macOS sending hashes of photos from a local account with no iCloud login, but that was fixed quickly, even though I've been skeptical. But this video by Techlore actually explains things really good.

MY conclusion?
I'd say the most private would be Android x Linux with KDE Connect.
2nd place is iOS with proper settings x Linux with KDE Connect. (For real, this tool gets you cool cross device sync.)
3rd place would be iOS x macOS both on privacy friendly settings if you, like me, rely on proprietary stuff. Xcode and iOS development can only be done on macOS and thus I'll stick to this combo. Fedora will always have a special place in my heart and on my SSD though.
So which level of these you want to pick definitely come down to how much you rely on what software and what you can afford. I hope I could help.
