Machefi,

Wasn’t the argument for having open sign-ups that some Lemmy apps redirect straight to Lemmy.world for registration?

Machefi,

Seems like a pretty important detail. Why wasn’t it mentioned it in the post body?

Machefi,

It’s about transparency for me. The admins claim to care about it and users praise them for it, but to me it seems like they’re doing the bare minimum informing us about changes we are about to notice. Reminds me of corporations writing statements trying to sweep things under the carpet. You and I might realise what it’s all about, but many users without the context won’t.

That’s not what I want Lemmy to be. I want to feel included as a part of the community. I’m doing what I think I can to help it all go in the right direction

Machefi,

I’m only talking about transparency here, didn’t mean to undermine other moderation efforts and sorry if I phrased it ambiguously. But regarding informing users, yes, I think Lemmy.world admins do the minimum

Machefi,

I don’t blame you for this, but the uptime records are incomplete at best. I’ve experienced the site being down (and confirmed with Down for Everyone or Just Me), yet status.lemmy.world showed all systems operational. As I’m writing this, status.lemmy.world is missing most data up to yesterday and dash.lemmy.world shows 16 days uptime.

I have lots of respect to you for even having these. I also remember status.lemmy.world work mostly fine some time ago. But as of right now, both uptime monitors fail to serve their purpose.

Machefi,

I think it’s the least worrying of possible stances protecting possession of CP

Machefi,

Not trying to discourage you, but what’s the reasoning for creating a new one when !factorio exists already and is reasonably alive?

Machefi,

If you have to make it a specific domain, reddthat.com seems appropriate

Machefi,

Machefi,

A small reminder that clickbaity titles like this work against the author’s view for all the people who read just the title and scroll further. (And they’re not to blame. You can’t read everything)

TL;DR of the article:

Fall of Twitter and Reddit helped the Fediverse grow. Most users don’t know or care how Federation works and don’t realise the necessity of donations. Fediverse either remains niche or becomes mainstream, the future is not set in stone.

Machefi,

Regarding voting, of course, it should be done after familiarizing oneself with the post to some degree greater than the title.

I meant changing people’s minds. While just the title won’t convince people to think a certain way, it will remain in their minds as one of many opinions on the topic they encountered. And it’s a shame if that opinion is the opposite of what the author has in mind.

Machefi,

You have another “aggressively supportive” a few paragraphs above

Machefi,

This is excessive. I know they’re angry. I know they have a reason to be. I know they don’t mean this literally. But this is not okay. Maybe it’s less not-okay than what u/spez did, but it doesn’t justify doing this.

Please, let us not follow the same path this far.

Machefi,

What if they only introduced the API changes to get rid of the aware users and make it easier to monetize the rest…?

Machefi,

Edge is Chromium based, so I discourage using it as your main browser, but honestly, it’s not that bad. Works fine and has some nice built-in features, so there are perfectly good use cases for it

I wish people would write some descriptions for their communities

I often browse /all, come across a post that looks interesting but I have no clue what’s it about, so I check the sidebar - and all I find is “An unofficial Lemmy community for X”, " A place to discuss everything about X", or the best kind, “A continuation of r/X from Reddit”....

Machefi,

Everything which is not forbidden is allowed

Machefi,

“Find the difference between the pictures”

Can we shut up with the "EEE" shit already?

Meta exist to make a profit, however they’re never going to be able to advertise to most people in the fediverse, who also happen to be some of the most knowledgeable people in some fields. If they accept that they’re never going to be able to advertise to those people, they go for the next best thing: monetising their...

Machefi,

This is actually an interesting argument I haven’t heard before. I guess it’s being downvoted because it’s used as the ultimate argument, which it’s not. I still believe EEE is more than likely.

I don’t agree with you entirely, but you’ve added to the discussion. Upvote from me

Machefi,

I know it’s far from what you asked, but the closest answer to the question is this Minecraft resource pack made for a few versions back.

What can I say, I keep my software up-to-date.

Machefi,

Defederating “from this and that” is actually sometimes problematic here. It’s about instance admins finding balance between freedom and usability (limiting spam and hate). Beehaw.org defederated from lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, lemmy.world defederated from exploding-heads.com etc. These decisions were controversial, but they weren’t bold. On the contrary, much thought and care went into these and that can be seen in communities’ support for them (in case of Beehaw, along with hopeful awaiting of refederation by users and admins alike).

But that seems not to be the main issue you’re presenting. Defederating from Threads specifically is an entirely different matter. And people who advocate for it, including myself, have more arguments for it than just privacy.

Though it's not the main point of my comment, I'm gonna list some such arguments, simply to back my words.- The EEE. Meta could (and quite probably will) try to federate with its millions of users, then use extended protocols putting pressure on Fediverse to adapt, in order to satisfy Meta’s users. They can make it difficult to keep up (e.g. by providing purposely flawed documentation) and the users will grow tired of stuff not working here but working there. Once users register with Meta (since it’s a part of the Fediverse after all, right?), they’ll cut the rest of us loose. - Badly moderated content. Facebook is already full of it. - Meta has a history of terrible actions and should not be supported.

Machefi,

Possibly included some too advanced characters in the “Name” field?

Machefi,

Honestly, I didn’t believe this would happen. I thought all who wanted to migrate have done this already and there would be maybe a couple hundred people joining us today. I’m glad I was wrong. Gives me hope in people of the Internet standing up for what they deserve.

Machefi,

Might wanna consider Knucklebones from Cult of the Lamb. 1v1, should be played with eighteen 6-sided dice (which can be found surprisingly cheap), but a notepad and a pencil can reduce this to just one. Game typically lasts about 20 single die rolls. There’s a little strategy involved, which may or may not be obvious at first. I don’t think there are any occasions to cheat that you wouldn’t find in other games.

Edit: rules are explained simpler on this online version.

Instead of deleting your Reddit account, consider using chatgpt to make comments instead

And make sure not to click on any links. If enough people use chatgpt or other LLM's to generate comments that are wordy but clearly just filler, it'll give advertisers pause and tank the value of the site as training data. Reddit's response will probably be to start banning users it thinks are doing this but normal users will...

Machefi,

There's a difference between protesting/ditching and actively sabotaging. Do you hate Reddit so much as to try to intentionally destroy it?

Machefi,

/c/itrusses, duh

Machefi,

Currently the biggest one, I think, is [email protected] (though [email protected] and [email protected] are strong competitors). I'm going to try kick-starting [email protected] soon, too.

Machefi,

This dominance worries me a little. Luckily the communities are spread across instances fairly well

Machefi,

This feeling is weirdly familiar to me. Not regarding Lemmy, but when I want my computer to do something and it does it imperfectly I get this weird feeling of anger I don't usually get in any other circumstances. Like when the mouse button only works 50% of the time, or when there's bad kerning in my LaTeX document like this program was created to do this one thing and how DARE it fail at this SIMPLE TASK LIKE IS IT SO FREAKING HARD TO SPACE THE LETTERS CORRECTLY I LEARN THE FREAKING COMMANDS ONLY TO GET THIS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE OF KERNING BETWEEN TWO LETTERS THAT I HAVE TO MANUALLY CORRECT LIKE AAARGGHAGVGAHG
