The Bible may seem the obvious answer from a western persective, but really how much have its specifics affected society? The Quran, on the other hand, is considered essentially all-knowing and unadulterated in its religion, so is probably a lot more influential, even if you think that Islam was less influential than Christianity, which is debatable.

communities already group topics, though

i know it has many flaws, but wouldn't a drop-in implementation of matrix be perfect here? at the very least better than making your own protocol

made thanksgiving dinner with my uncle and aunt on thursday and went shopping with friends on friday. i got the complete consumerist american experience this week haha. the shopping trip was the first hangout i've ever arranged and the group is also pretty much the first real friends i've ever had, so that was really cool

apt is easier (probably only because i'm used to it) and snap takes up a fuck ton of space. at one point it took up like a quarter of my entire hard drive, then i started deliberately avoiding snaps

so you just want multiple accounts, with different purposes and audiences. see, you're thinking with the mindset of locked-box social media, where boundaries are set by the platform, but on the fediverse people and communities set their own boundaries with near-complete freedom. there are plenty of fediverse apps that allow multiple accounts, and let you choose which ones to post to when you make a post. one is fedilab. if you really want, for some reason, your multiple accounts can all be on different softwares, but it will be no different for your followers than if they were all on one software

edit: reading your other comments, it looks like you do literally just want to post in one place and have every post go to both people that moved to friendica from facebook and to pixelfed from instagram, which will of course be different groups of people. the thing is, that is literally the entire concept of the fediverse, that is literally exactly what it is in its entirety. maybe you're underestimating the lack of friction? if so, you should know there is practically none when it comes to mastodon and pixelfed, and i'm pretty sure friendica as well. just give your friends on pixelfed and those on friendica the same exact mastodon account to follow, and don't tell them it's a mastodon account, and they will be none the wiser

you can follow a pixelfed (and i believe also friendica) account from mastodon, and vice versa. lemmy is also getting there, and is already there with friendica. so instead of posting to multiple softwares you just have people pull from different softwares, and the frontend agnosticity (is that a word? lol) is there

Hitler really does have a way of getting into awkward situations doesn't he!

(srsly tho was that like a popular look back then? why does he look exactly like Hitler)

this could end up as an Embrace, Extend, Extinguish if it becomes the primary client that people use. but vivaldi is pretty niche and they open-source most components, so that makes it less likely

yes, their mail and calendar are great. such a breath of fresh air from the usual bloatware i find in corporate tech. i use open-source apps instead, but i can't deny the convenience of having it all in one app, and the better UI from it being a corporate development

why not just make a separate platform then. he doesn't get the legitamacy, established name or running infrastructure of twitter if he reboots it. best he'd get is the accounts, but if none of those are logged into again what are they good for?

 

I got a bike recently, and before that I used to walk everywhere. I had classes pretty early in the morning a lot of the time, so i'd skip breakfast pretty often and it was never much of a problem. So today I did the same but rode my bike instead, and it was fine on the ride, but as soon as i got off my heart shot right up my throat and i felt like throwing up. Took like 5 mins of sitting down to feel fine again.

Don't skip breakfast, kids
