Introducing Vivaldi Social, your new federated social-networking home

@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.
From forum posts to Vivaldi Social. -
@ingolftopf , no problem with Vivaldi
-
@shifte VFM has a link button copying the direct link to the post to the clipboard.
-
@luetage
I know link button, of course. ^^
This kind of thing. -
@shifte That should be doable lol.
-
@luetage
I guess it will come someday. -
@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.
-
-
@ingolftopf I would have preferred that Vivaldi don't show any political views or preferences.
No matter which side.
-
@Eggcorn I agree, Vivaldi should not have opened a mastodon instance, and they should not throw the ball in the social media court.
Mastodon is mostly far left, gab is mostly far right.
Truth social is what the heck it is.I don't want extremes! I don't want to say something that will get me dogpiled and banned cause I had a different opinion!
By joining mastodon, it's like if Vivaldi picked a side...

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
