  • How to Brigade: a step-by-step guide for Scheming Hexbear Tankies and Miscellaneous Ne’er-do-wells

    Jump

  • Those basically always show up after the thread has already seen tons of activity from this instance.

    But, it is a part of the three-year-old culture that could be problematic with federation, and has been a topic of debate because of that. We just always post an actual link to the topic cause that’s more interesting and informative than just seeing a screenshot. (Plus if you don’t you’re a lib.)

    /Edit - What’s even funnier in all this is our devs just happened to be working on un-forking our pre-federation codebase to a point where we could federate when the Reddit exodus happened. They even announced it something like a week beforehand, but IIRC the main point was in being able to integrate all the nice upstream improvements. And, especially of note, before that we were probably 80% of activity on all Lemmy instances.

  • So some folks wanted a new silly struggle session that can demonstrate for all new arrivals and visitors the sort of silly shit we debate. So I ask you Hexbears: What is the "midwest"?

  • Ouch.

  • Ohio’s often an is or isn’t it inclusion in the Midwest for good reason. We’re kinda split between Appalachia, the Great Lakes/Northeast, the Midwest, and the South. And, with all that the Midwest is probably the dominant bit by landmass, but one of the weaker areas by population.

    (Also an original mostly-lurker hexbearite, and probably primarily responsible for midwest.social starting to see our communities. 👋)

  • China is in default on a trillion dollars in debt to US bondholders. Will the US force repayment?

    Jump

  • The Republic of China still exists, we just know it as Taiwan. Key bit to be leaving out here, especially considering our history with the two and their weird relationship with each other.

  • How does downvote disabling work between federated instances?

    Jump

  • It can also be used as a form of semi-covert harassment. For example, in an early instance, every bit of content posted by or in support of transgender people would get hit by a barrage of downvotes from brigaders using otherwise inactive accounts. Hard to moderate that without just disabling downvotes entirely.

  • Is Lemmy's code base "good"?

    Jump

  • They also originally thought they’d have it update in real time which was a bit of a mistake. When you’re running a small test instance it’s kinda neat if comments and posts pop up as they’re made, but the reality of that is a scroll jacking nightmare.
