The green definitely came out better, though I think the blue could come out just as good too if it had the same transparency(?) to it? You probably already have an idea of what you'd do different next time, if I had to guess
Not that I'm against the seasonal theme or anything, but could the theme just be focused around what the new thumbnail picture should be?
Maybe 'build one of your favorite things that represents woodworking and the best one with the most votes gets to be the new thumbnail picture.' Or something like that 🤷♂️
I mean yeah, maybe it won't affect me directly, I like the instance I'm on and it's a pretty respectable one. However, indirectly, this is very relevant to any Fediverse user, regardless of the instance or platform they're using. Allowing abuses like this to happen without any pushback is a surefire way of turning this place into a shithole just like the rest of the internet. I appreciate the fact that, at least for now, it's different here.
Also, maybe this isn't my only homebase? Just saying.
This guy is a fucking hero for calling out these companies' bullshit practices like that. I don't really care if there's some misstep about the open source thing. The content that I've seen from him is still good in my opinion.
I was under the impression that DM's on Mastodon (and Lemmy too) weren't ever stated as being secure and I think that they were both pretty transparent about this particular aspect.
How's it compare to Heliboard?
