  • Yea, so my understanding is that activity pub, the protocol used by mastadon (and lemmy) is serviced by queues, perhaps those like Kafka. Those sort of queues promise eventual consistency, which means when one goes offline, the queue is stored on the other, waiting until the other is online, in which case it resumes where the disconnected server last left off.



  • I was in the same boat as you. It doesn’t sit right with me having all the smart stuff enabled even if I’m not using it. There’s plenty of concerns there. I ended up getting a smart tv, using an Apple TV plugged into it, and turning off the WiFi on the tv itself. When I want to update it, I can. Otherwise, you can look for TVs marketed towards businesses. Like the ones that get hung up to display menus and stuff. That was the only avenue I found where the smart stuff wasn’t baked in. They’re expensive though.
