Basically the company went from “no bullshit” to “just another asset for some capitalist fund who only cares about extracting as much value as possible”
It would be so good to have a no profit owned or cooperative European domain seller
It expresses dissatisfaction with peoples cringe bad takes
I wish this was real. In those cases the right button should be the report button anyway…
Having one vote to incentivize hive mind and another to punish a different opinion is just much more polarizing than having just the incentive only
It’s not rare to see people downvoting someone who wants an honest discussion and bringing their ideas to the table. (to be clear I’m not talking about people wanting to justify their racism or shit like that lol)
everyone freaked out that the communist devs were controlling the narrative or some shit
Hi! As you might remember, i've been pushing for this platform for quite some time so i'll just dump ideas in a pretty annoying way, hope you'll spare me :3
do you realize that the power of the threadiverse is that a forum can even fully exist alone and the federation between them is a plus while for microblogging it's kinda a shit to not have the big reach? basically, are you going to bring lemmy in a ''more forum'' direction or a ''more social'' direction?
will you ever take into consideration to eliminate downvotes? it's clear that the reddit effect is already here and people are not incentivized to read the article and comment on point or discuss less agreable stuff just because posts gets downvoted?
if on my instance downvotes are deactivated, do they still influence my home when I browse subs from other instances that have downvotes?
more UI mod tools! they are never enough because a community manager has not to be also a sysadmin or a linux poweruser just to take care of the community; stuff like subscribing to blocklists and allowlists, stuff like deleting cached media and so on
how is the plugin stuff going?
wouldn't it be better to drop the android client and the federated wiki to fully focus on making lemmy the best federated threadiverse software? now that nodebb has federation the competition is existent (mbin and piefed were never enough e.e) and other frontends are generally cooler (voyager basically brought me back on being active here)
can we have a lemmy-first approach regarding comunication and contributions? basically i don't want to make a github account to push some opinions and it seems like they kinda get ignored when on the lemmy community about lemmy
ability to merge communities having them mirrored in a basic way i guess it's already on his way
would be cool to have tags/flairs but i understand that it is not easy (tags could also become a way to follow stuff on par with communities, with their pros and cons obv)
would be cool to have lists to be able to browse lemmy from lemmy in a more rss way: for example there are communities i want to check once in a while but totally don't want em in my home and having lists would help
changing ''favorite'' posts into ''bookmarks''/''saved''
would be cool to have the possibility to have a favorite users list to check what your friends are up to
any other suggestion would basically be ''can this thing that forums have also be ported to lemmy?'', i just think that lemmy has to evolve into a forum first with a link aggregator ui; it's kinda easy to use discourse as a bug tracker and feature request tracker for example (observation made because of the previous question of using lemmy instead of github for non code stuff)
have you taken into account that maybe offering a service of lemmy hosting managed by you could help?
dulcis in fundo, always about empowering non tech people, what about having lemmy on yunohost as one of the curated methods by the devs?
alright i think it's enough lol; now one very big appreciation: thank you for the rss first approach, having rss for basically everything like it was on reddit (well still miss some query rss but i understand it's harder to do) it's really so fucking useful and cool and i really hope that lemmy will make niche communities shine again
The filter is being a pet peeve of mine too these days
I would like to be sure that I’m filtering stuff but looks like filters on miniflux and freshrss just work on future articles so I should do something like put a filter to an rss feed I control and then post and check if it works
Also: Italy, could you please clean your fucking shit up?
Did you miss the rally to show the will for a stronger European Union? And the “fight” to not use starlink? And people joking about the letters sent by DOGE? It’s not like everything is going downhill here, don’t be like a cocky American who reads some ragebaits headlines on social networks and thinks to know the world
We can agree to disagree for the tweets but I’m not sure that I agree on the part about throwing a good organization built on solid principles because of one person tbh. Yes he is not a random employee but on the foundation board there are also people like Tim Berners Lee…
Ye and if they owned servers they would need to pay electricity and internet connections to some capitalistic operators
If they had even solar panels they’d still buy them from capitalistic companies
If they even owned solar panel production they’d still buy materials from capitalistic mines
If they’d also buy the mines they’d now need some form of army to defend them or they’d need to pay some capitalistic mercenaries company
You understand that we have to start somewhere, right?
the second they don’t have enough donations to pay the bills the messenger will seize working
It’s a bit like worrying about donations to Wikipedia or the internet archive honestly. They are so big that probably a lot of people would stop them from failing.
The situation in the US makes pretty clear what fascism is and who Trump fans are
2 tweets in which he said that the republicans could help small tech are definitely not enough to be called either (fascist or Trump fan) imho
But it’s not a hill I’d die on. Still a foundation, still not easily sold to a random rich guy, still other members on the board and so on. Opinions are opinions but facts are here to stay and I can trust that organization still much more than others even if one person of the board went crazy. Organizations over single people ftw
I never read “VC funded” as someone who donated money and also was a VC. To me it’s always Venture capitalists investments asking for power and margin returns. Hence also it makes the product much more prone to enshittify to keep the numbers go up
Signal is none of this but yes, got a headstart by someone who happens to be also a VC a rich person?
Edit: I edit because I cannot find anything that links Acton to vc activities actually 🤔
Se ai dev open source interessasse sviluppare per non tecnici avresti ragione, ma così non è
E infatti l’open non mi pare che fermi Google dal fare le schifezze, sia sotto un punto di vista etico sia di controllo dello sviluppo tecnologico
L’open source e il foss non bastano, mettiamoci una pietra sopra
