Can you be racist against a minority you just invented?

Lemmy is losing the war against reddit. How do we change things?

Jump

m_f @midwest.social 1y ago

join-lemmy.org should really just have a "Join Lemmy" button that load balances between whatever general-purpose instances opt-in to being defaults. Then there should be a "Wait, I care about which server I join!" button that does the existing UX flow.

It should also default to not showing the weirder instances like hexbear or lemmygrad. That's going to turn a lot of people off.

C is definitely still king, but I wonder if crABI will eventually be able to dethrone it:

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/111423

If they can define a useful ABI that manages to include lifetimes, that might just be enough of an improvement to get people to switch over from assuming the C ABI everywhere.

What don't you like about Cargo? Is there another package manager you like more?

Loops Unwrapped 2024

Jump

m_f @midwest.social 1y ago

Yeah, it's totally not ready for that amount of influx. To be fair, it's not even out of beta. I don't think even the dev would claim it's ready for that scale yet. Hopefully it'll be ready the next time an event like that happens

The new build 11 released yesterday lets you see only loops from people you follow. There's also a "For You" option that I assume will eventually do what you're looking for. Right now it shows loops sorted by newest, like before

Loops is joining the fediverse

Jump

m_f @midwest.social 1y ago

Not going crazy. It's always been intended to be part of the Fediverse, it's just under heavy development and adding ActivityPub support is something the dev is working on right now.

The URL for that image is... something. rape.pet looks very pedo adjacent:

also, as long as it's illegal, we dont allow any CSAM on this instance

Corporate Social Media is Junk Food

Jump

m_f @midwest.social 1y ago

TBH, I think this is a little counterproductive. It makes corporate social media seem like a delicious treat. Exhorting people to do the right thing like "eat your veggies" probably isn't the best way to convince them. Something like this seems like a better comparison. Something bad for you and gross, but uses flashy marketing to convince you otherwise:

Copying my comment from the cross-post. Anyone here know enough about ActivityPub to know how much work it will be to make it interoperate nicely with Lemmy in addition to Mastodon?

Looks like it's still a WIP. lemmy.world says that it can't find the user, but my instance shows his profile:

https://midwest.social/u/dansup@loops.video

If you click on the full username, you get redirect to this page, which is the raw ActivityPub profile:

Based on the mention of toots and mastodon, I'm guessing he's focusing on that first. Hopefully interoperability with Lemmy will come quickly though. Being able to embed loops as posts would be really nice.
