Why should this not be possible?

That's more a question for @TheQuantumAlpha , he's the one who accuses Mastodon of severe political bias. However, I have read some articles that suggest he's right.

@luetage said in Introducing Vivaldi Social, your new federated social-networking home:

Vivaldi makes it pretty clear in their code of conduct and in the server rules featured on Vivaldi Social what kind of content is welcome and what you can forget about.

A solution from the forums may also work: Discourage political talk altogether! I'm inclined to say: Discourage it more strongly than it's discouraged on the forums, send a clear message that politics is not welcome on Vivaldi Social.

That discouragement could be softened or removed later, that will always remain an option. But for the time being: Strongly discouraging political talk may be a good way to avoid any appearance of political bias, and keep Vivaldi Social from (rightly or wrongly) being seen as just Biased Big Tech 2.0.

That largely answers your question.

I don't think so.
Still don't see any "nuts" here.

That's cool, but when will hardware accelerated video work on Linux?

Also works here on 'Debian'.

@Ayespy I know... More research needed.

There are people writing on the social.vivaldi.net Masodon instance who have not written anything on the forum and are having a harder time with it there.
Many also come from Twitter and are used to it from there.
Mastodon seems to be more accessible and easier to use on a mobile phone/tablet.

It would be nice if the share button came.

@luetage
I know link button, of course. ^^
This kind of thing.

luetage

@shifte That should be doable lol.

@luetage
I guess it will come someday.

luetage

@shifte Make a feature request for it, better sooner than later. At the moment the community platform developers are probably still focused on Vivaldi Social.

You two will have to explain to me how to make it work, I already tried everything I could on my KDE Neon (Ubuntu based).
(it's working perfectly on Firefox)

@Panino I didn't have to do anything. It just worked out of the box.

it's pretty much Discord but run on private servers. Which makes it... pretty much IRC. Gotta love all these attempts to make the old look new and innovative.

I stopped trying to keep up with every new service when first Facebook and then WhatsApp came along - both were offering nothing new but privately run and with nasty tracking etc. buried in the fine print.

Never understood why people thought these were somehow better than the existing free-Internet options at the time. And now with Facebook and Twitter collapsing and people waking up to the dangers I'm glad I managed to hold out all this time.

As IRC is basically dead last time I looked, I might give this Vivaldi social a go, and like mentioned previously I look forward to Matrix or Briar it something like that breaking through as a new messaging standard.

Could it be that your graphic card is not playing along properly?
Are you using the proprietary driver or the open source one?

How do you like "KDE Neo"?
Can't be bad if it comes from KDE.
