@arzachel I'm probably just going to go back to FB for now and if you need help or testing with anything, let me know, I don't want to discourage you at all. FB does suck pretty hard. For me it's about being able to have the conversations with people, and I hope you'll be there as well as here.

@arzachel The thing about having control of your data is that it isn't hard to do that if you don't care whether anyone else can see or use it. LOL

@arzachel Holochain is all about having your own data, and countersigning transactions.

@arzachel It's especially important when designing a new protocol to get things right before people adopt it, or we live with those defects forever.

@arzachel It's both super annoying and correct, they keep refactoring things and taking no short cuts.

@arzachel Every time I try to take a full overview, I come back to waiting on Holochain.

@arzachel Friendica was the thing I was trying to use in the earlier days before I gave up on them.

@arzachel Oh this advanced view has all kinds of duplicate data, ouch.

Groups or echomail equivalent is essential feature I am not seeing.

@arzachel Having real job right now seems like a fortunate thing. Yeah I am being a bit critical but it is meant to be constructive or evaluative as far as whether I would want to migrate to this platform. I wasn't saying BBSes were bad, but the feature set does not seem to be complete to match a Fido BBS either. More like a point node.

Better in cuckoo.social again, but it still covers part of the image unless you enlarge.

If I use the cuckoo.social interface the video image shows up here.

And sometimes I post youtube links and they put an image and sometimes not.

@arzachel @tony__heller Also there is a Federated timeline which appears to be the Home feed plus some other feeds?

@arzachel @tony__heller So there's one Home feed which is whatever you subscribe to plus the Local feed which is whatever anyone posts here, are there any sorts of groups like the old days of echomail or anything? Trying to evaluate the usability of this platform.
