I don't understand.
Why should this not be possible?If you disagree with widespread ideologies on Mastodon (happens on other sheltered platforms too), you shall not show it, or you may get reprimanded, and become victim of pile up to the point you eventually get suspended for causing disruption.
Creator of mastodon took code from ActivityPub/GNU Social without attribution because he didn't like that anyone could use it without agreeing to Code of Conducts. Pleroma is superior to Mastodon in technical aspects, but no one talks about it because it's not ran by the "right" people
If a group of people say pigs can fly, I cannot mostly disagree cause the server may have a "no flying pig disbelief" rule, so I must consent to it. If I do, other servers may mute you or suspend your entire instance, and get name called. Therefore the server owner that you're logged in may suspend you .
If someone say drinking coffee is ineffective, and I disagree as it has been proven since beginning of times, and we engage into a discussion, I don't want the person thinking that coffee is ineffective to have any consequences, or be suspended and name called for disinformation or something alike.
I want to have discussion, although sometimes heated, to see both side of the aisle, without repercussions.
Mastodon does mostly not allow such kind of discussion, it is mostly a "safe space" for certain kinds of ideas.

That's cool, but when will hardware accelerated video work on Linux?
Also works here on 'Debian'.
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. -

Hello Mister jon and everyone

now reached 5K active users!
Oh, growing by 1000 users per day! Nice.

@i_ri
I think we should not ignore support requests in Mastodon social.vivaldi.net, but also refer to the forum.
Questions and answers can be saved, but are quickly lost for other users.
I think a messenger is a very good addition to a forum.
If you don't like Mastodon, or if you are still interested in Jabber/XMPP, you might want to find a room there:
"The Vivaldi Browser"
xmpp:[email protected]?jointake a look.

@DoctorG
Hello, I saw that you also write bilingually on Vivaldi Mastodon.
I like it very much, I do it that way too, not always, but more and more often.
The system can do this.
I wish more users would do it. -

??
We should not continue this discussion in this thread.
You can open a new thread in the Chit-Chat.But tendentious misinformation should not go unchallenged here.

Awesome! That's really cool. Now add Vivaldi to the Microsoft Store, please.

It seems like the embedded video on the blog post broke. Now it just shows the url.

Tried to sign up for โVivaldi Socialโ, but always come to the Vivaldi login page, where I already have an account. Then I already have an account on mastodon [@[email protected]], but would like to transfer this to โVivaldi Socialโ, if possible, so move. Do not cope with the settings (error messages). What exactly is there to do?
-
@Thot You already have an account on Vivaldi Social, you just need to activate it by logging in to the instance with your current password. Accounts can be merged as far as I know, this will transfer your followers and posts. But you better look at some online guide, Iโve never done it.
edit: you seem to have zero followers and only 2 posts on that original account, might not be worthwhile trying to transfer anything, just setup a redirect.

@luetage Just in this moment I found myself. Thanks. I will delete my old accout.

Mastodon provides instructions on how to migrate your account from one server to another in their blog:

In using Vivaldi Social, are users exposing their Vivaldi email address? i.e. Mastodon @[email protected] is email [email protected] (just drop the initial @), which opens up a can of worms for spam email?
