  • Sure they are unethical. But the millions of users who have joined them are not and they are not that tech savvy to have even heard of Fediverse. Federating with them opens 2 avenues: Possibly decrease the influence of X/Twitter as it gets more toxic and introduce general people to the concept of Fediverse and give them an option to easily migrate to one of the better Mastodon instances in future from Threads.






  • @ljdawson@lemmy.world my request is a bit different. I actually use Sync. When we hide posts from the frontpage using “Hide Read Posts” toggle, it hides the post from both the frontpage and the community where the post was posted. I’d like to have a setting where it only hides read posts from the frontpage.

    Sometimes I like to go back to a community (like Starfield for e.g.) to read posts that I hid previously from frontpage to see newer discussions or just look back at things after a couple of days.










  • From a Reuters article:

    The Chandrayaan-3 is aimed at the lunar south pole, a region with water ice, or frozen water, that could be a source of oxygen, fuel and water for future moon missions or a more permanent moon colony.

    If it lands successfully, the Chandrayaan-3 is expected to remain functional for two weeks, running a series of experiments including a spectrometer analysis of the mineral composition of the lunar surface.

    Edit: This is going to be the site of US’ Artemis-III mission as well. So NASA would be very keen to know about the findings out of this rover and lander.
