fun fact: somewhere around 106.3f your brain can no longer form coherent speech
Modlog: admin Banned @archonet reason: Trolling expires: in 3 days
Aaaand… banned until you can form coherent speech.
(This has to be the weirdest ban I’ve seen in a long time)
Downvotes mean your comment is more likely to get removed by a mod, and you’re more likely to get banned.
I don’t like either of your tones. You’re both probably some of those people from a different country, who vote for some other parties. /s
Harrison Ford as Number One? That’s nightmare fuel.
Ouch… that’s an asshole move, they deserve the punitive damages.
But, butt… if she spilled the coffee, then it’s on her for being clumsy… right? /s
Source?
(just saying, because we used CRTs in 1993, and those look like LCDs… 👽)
Lemmy lets you block users and communities, some Lemmy apps also let you block instances and keywords.
The federated nature also means it’s a big set of interacting niches, which hasn’t really been done before.
Do you subscribe to games and memes communities, read Local, or the All feed?
Keep in mind there is no automatic filter to clickbait you in All, it’s up to you to “be the filter”.
It’s really a shame that you’re reducing your writing to the lowest common denominator
At times I’ve been considering using spoiler mechanics to write a “simple English” reply, followed by the actual answer, hidden for only the more discerning reader to uncover.
If the free GitHub scripts from the other comment don’t work for you, Sync has it as a paid option.
beehaw and sh.itjust.works just rub me the wrong way during first impressions
They’re pretty descriptive: do you want a place to “behave”, or would you rather fling shit at each other?
This isn’t Reddit, you get to pick your experience. Can even sign up to more than one instance, each with different rules!
We also need super-communities that pull in content from multiple communities/instances
Apps do that, including some web app.
Search and migrations could be improved, though.
Does it take into account instance rules like language, moderation, or whether it’s a personal instance hosted on a raspi that may go down at any moment?
There are plenty of FOSS apps for Lemmy out there, no need to “start” any project, just lend a hand
Reddit has benefitted from Sync, and other 3rd party apps, way more than Sync has benefitted from Reddit.
It’s less clear cut with Lemmy, which is supposed to evolve an ecosystem of free tools, so it might be that some day Sync will be benefitting from Lemmy more than Lemmy from Sync… but for now, Lemmy is relatively bare bones, like what Reddit used to be 15 years ago, so any 3rd party app with extra features is still a good thing.
Fortunately, Lemmy has no incentive to go closed source, like Reddit did (let’s not forget Reddit used to be open source while it was convenient for them, then it wasn’t).
you’re paying for lifetime ads
You don’t need to pay for that, just go to Reddit. Free unlimited lifetime ads! 😉
The true “lifetime purchase” for software, is the GPL.
I remember what the standardising committee did to XMPP: users wanted to share photos, send files, and make audio/video calls; XMPP said “we’re not going to standardize that, but each application can use its own extensions”… then it all went to hell.
