I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • I commented this in the other thread, sharing it here as well

    I’ve been waiting for this feature for a while actually 😅

    When I last saw people talking about it, there were rumors that there would be a reasonable free backup (ex. up to 1 Gb) with relatively cheap paid options above that. I scrolled through the GitHub link and couldn’t confirm or deny if this is still/actually the case.

    Backups are the #1 pain point for friends that tried to switch to Signal, especially for those on iOS. I have a local backup + sync setup for my own phone, but it’s a lot to expect for the average casual user to set up.

    Whatsapp has backups to Google Drive, which is better than nothing but not ideal. It’s time Signal had a reliable backup method for casual users





  • The idea is that people can block what they don’t want to see. Some users/communities/instances are more open, and others are more closed off. There’s nothing stopping you from finding a place that aligns with what you want

    If someone doesn’t want to interact with you, you’re not going to accomplish anything by forcing them to interact with you.


  • The annotation system could benefit from federation. Users can submit any interpretation, and some of them will need to be moderated.

    I can’t think of a format that would be compatible with other fediverse platforms. While it would be nice to be able to annotate from existing accounts or follow new updates to a song from Lemmy/Mastodon, the specifics would be complicated. Do people follow artists, albums, songs, lines of text? Sometimes people will want to annotate a single word, and other times a whole paragraph

    However, the lyrics themselves would be better off with a system like Wikipedia
