“World News”

Greek and Roman god names all the way!

While that’s true, other instances will eventually also need to find a way to make money. And unless you’re on the Facebook instance you shouldn’t see their ads (unless they inject those ads as posts).

The Facebook crowd can only assimilate us when we switch to their instance. I see a point where new users would prefer a bigger, i.e. Facebookey instance over smaller ones when they don’t know anything about the fediverse.

Playing devil’s advocate a bit here:

Considering that I rate Facebook as evil as Google, would you support “defederating” Google Mail from other mail services?

In my opinion, the fediverse/ActivityHub is just the underlying protocol to enable people to connect to each other just like SMTP and whether I want to contact someone using a service provider that I don’t like is my choice and should not be the choice of my service provider…

Yep, works now! Looks lovely although I miss the up- and downvotes personally…

fyi, I’m getting an 502 error when trying to open the preview…

(Sadly I can’t program, so i can’t help with the actual coding…)
