Flipboard and Surf.Social are hosting the first-ever Fediverse House at SXSW to explore the world of decentralized social media.

How's it going for centralized reddit-like platforms like Tildes, Discuit, Squabblr? in c/fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Duscuit seems to have around 200 weekly active users, so.. Not really

What's your favourite non-Lemmy community (Magazine/Group etc.)? in c/chat@beehaw.org
[–] Fitik@fedia.io 3 points 1 week ago

Interesting, for me it's the opposite, I pretty much exclusively use "Subscribed" feed and almost never go to "All", because a lot of it is just stuff I don't care about

[Weekly thread] Which communities have you discovered lately? in c/communitypromo@lemmy.ca

It seems to be focused specifically on Netflix, meanwhile this one is more generic

I've discovered !netflix@metacritics.zone , !scp@lemmy.world , !creepypasta@lemmy.world , !buyeuropean@feddit.uk around last week and additionally I've discovered https://forum.wedistribute.org/ , so I've subscribed to a few categories from it as well

@melp@beehaw.org There's this Lemmy post on !peertube@lemmy.wtf listing generic well-federated instances, but if you don't care about the ability to follow other PeerTube channels from it, I'm pretty sure you can use pretty much any instance and it doesn't really matter.

Ironically my CherryPick instance used to have it's own Peertube instance, but they've closed it sadly

DeepSeek: how China’s embrace of open-source AI caused a geopolitical earthquake. in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] Fitik@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

Hmm, I thought it was open-weights only, but I think you might be right, I've checked HuggingChat and it's one of the options, so you're probably right. And yes, it's better than OpenAI

DeepSeek isn't Open source tho

On the other hand the Friendica Wikipedia article seems much more detailed, even tho I'm sure it could be expanded as well.

Challenge: What is the most succinct way to explain why Discord is not a Reddit alternative? in c/fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com
[–] Fitik@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

I would use the argument that you can't access content on Discord unless you have a discord account, on the other hand pretty much all content on Reddit (And Lemmy etc) is available without registration

Oh, and that it's much more focused on chats than on forum-style posts

Content curation in the Fediverse is better! in c/fediverse@lemmy.world
[–] Fitik@fedia.io 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's interesting, I assumed so because:

  1. It's known, that some Hexbear users create alt accounts on other Lemmy instances, because they're mostly defederated to "spread their message"
  2. Your account is pretty new
  3. Because you're against the defederation, I assumed that it's because you have came from an instance that gets defederated often

But seems like your opinion actually something consistent and not trolling, in that case I respect your opinion, even if I personally don't agree with your philosophy I can understand it. It's good that in the Fediverse you can choose an instance that aligns with your philosophy (Like lemm.ee) and I can choose the one that aligns with mine.

Pinned post on r/Firefox leads to m/firefox (old.reddit.com)
 

It has been there for 3 months, but still it seems like a fitting place to share, also a rare example of an official subreddit having a mbin magazine as a back up. It leads to !firefox if you want to follow it.

Childcare centre torched in latest antisemitic attack in Australia (www.reuters.com)
 

A childcare centre in Sydney was set alight early morning on Tuesday and antisemitic graffiti was sprayed on the wall, authorities said, the latest in a spate of attacks in Australia targeting the Jewish community.

The childcare centre, located near a Jewish school and synagogue in the city's east, suffered extensive damage but there were no reports of injuries in the attack which occurred around 1 a.m. (1400 GMT, Monday), police said.

It was the second antisemitic attack on property in four days in Sydney, and comes amid a spate of similar crimes targeting the Jewish community in Australia's most-populous city.

Hungary Loses Out On $1 Billion In EU Funding (www.rferl.org)
 

Hungary has been officially denied some $1 billion dollars in European Union funding that the bloc had frozen because of corruption allegations.

The move, confirmed in an EU statement late on December 31, was the first time that it had taken such a step against a bloc member.

Budapest made no immediate statement about the expired funds.

That amount was part of a larger sum -- 19 billion euros ($19.7 billion) -- that had been frozen, dating back to 2022, when Brussels began "conditionality" proceedings against Hungary.

Those proceedings blocked the disbursements of funds because of allegations that the Hungarian government had violated rules on public procurement as well as a lack of control and transparency.

Budapest made a number of reforms that allowed some funds to be unblocked, but the deadline for the release of the latest installment expired on December 31.

That meant that Hungary lost the funding, which amounted to 1.04 billion euros ($1.08 billion).

In a report released in July, the European Commission said that Hungary did not meet EU democratic standards, specifically regarding political financing, conflicts of interest, and media independence.
