Do you like the Mastodon approach of consistent branding for different instances? in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

It took me embarrasingly long to get a feeling for how Mastodon was supposed to work across instances, and what it means that lemmy, madtodon etc are part of the Fediverse.

I think the "join mastodon" or "join lemmy" rhetoric just obscures how things work. IMO it would be better to describe Lemmy and Mastodon as ActivityPub readers, similar to how there used to be RSS readers.

Or does it even matter to tag at all?

Should I also tag someone for it to show up in their mastondon feed? @plc@expressional.social or just with the naked handle?

And with federated commentary too?

Moving from the US to the EU soon... Any advice? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

That is indeed quite accurate and comprehensive.

And as a Dane due to move back after 8 years abroad it feels strangely relevant and slightly alienating 🙃

This is so poorly motivated it makes me wonder if it were in fact staged by the fossil fuel industry to make climate activists look bad.
