  • Viewing a Lemmy account’s posts from Mastodon seems to work. Going the other way, viewing a Mastodon account’s toots from Lemmy, does not work.

    Pixelfed can see Lemmy and Mastodon accounts, but it does not show the posts or comments from those accounts. The reverse is also true: Lemmy and Mastodon can see Pixelfed accounts but not their content.

    At least these were my results the last time I experimented with cross-platform interaction. Maybe there are some tricks I have not learned yet.


  • For anyone unaware of the the spam issue mentioned in the link, it has been ongoing for a week. Some person or group is generating accounts on open Mastodon instances and spamming crap all over. My instance’s admin bot caught two three new spam accounts while I was typing this post. I know admins at other instances have put similar protections in place.

    If you haven’t seen the spam, thank your mods and admins!



  • It’s ultimately under the umbrella of ideologies that support and prop up capitalism.

    I think that’s a good summary.

    “Classical liberalism” is basically what modern libertarians want: a laissez-faire capitalist economy, a secular representative government with very limited powers, prioritizing individual freedom over collective well-being, etc.

    In my part of the world “liberalism” is now commonly used to refer to a different set of priorities: creating economic safety nets, regulating business, promoting universal healthcare, unions, gender equality, racial equality, etc. Though capitalism and a secular representative government are still part of the mix.
