yeah political circlejerks are annoying whichever side of the political spectrum it’s on tbh
circlejerks for the software freedom spectrum however…
you can’t have decentralisation without federation, also iirc there’s problems with bluesky’s federation architecture so there’s syncing issues between instances
it’s for the WINE overhead :)
it shouldn’t have to be the responsibility of the admins to do this though
very much agree with the post about the politics lacking nuance, but I think it’s a problem with social media in general
the communities/echo chambers that form around instances probably amplify that though
including examples for everything in the docs is the best way to explain imo
genz here too, lemmy ui with the thumbnail (if explicitly posted, not auto generated from an article) full screen size by default would be the best of both worlds
I’ve used lemmy exclusively for almost 1.5 years and I still think the duplicate communities thing could be better, lemmy is small so we might as well maximise the amount of content accessible.
I don’t want all of them to merge, I just think it should be easier for people to subscribe to all of the communities about similar topics
something like this:
https://subredditstats.com/subreddit-user-overlaps
but for lemmy would be nice
it’d basically solve the issue of duplicate communities too
shit has the same or better level of infrastructure for a smaller user base
I don’t get the hate against the lemmy devs tbh, they have their (perhaps controversial) political views but they leave everyone that’s not on their site alone and it feels like they develop lemmy pretty impartially
sure they might ban you off ml but that’s their site and they get to do whatever they want with it, just like every other instance
i mean network effect is a thing i guess but that’s not as important on lemmy where there are usually similarly large communities about generic things on most major instances
don’t let them change the meaning of our words then
no it’s not?
you can see the axes and op even mentions that it’s a 5% drop
the graph is clearly just fitted to the data
wow lemmy users really don’t like being called low iq lmao
not really a high bar tbh
ngl web apps are even worse, they’re so bloated and janky, I wish everything had a native app
I think the strike system would make sense and limiting by account age might work as well, but I don’t think the other simple methods of moderation are going to be that useful, as word blacklists always have false positives and auto community lockdown could be exploited by someone to sabotage a community. (like with a denial of service attack)
Also, this is just my opinion but I really hate it when software speaks to me like they’re real people, I understand that it is ultimately written by a person but when the same phrase is repeated to every person regardless of the context it just annoys me. Similiarly I don’t like the automod messages/comments on reddit because it just feels like low effort content in comparison to what real people post on there.
I think this would make more sense framed as a plugin rather than a bot, because a bot post is placed equally to a human post while being inherently lower importance.
If I were to suggest features it would be something like a large language model based content filter, but I understand the computational and cost limitations would make that challenging.
this is different, oc is talking about “any admin”. Anyone can make a lemmy server and become a server admin from which they might be able to see the voters
if they got lineageos on the device it’s already unlocked right?
anyway it seems supported decently enough by postmarketos, which is currently the best distro (imo) for Linux mobile
their site has install instructions (on the OnePlus 5 page that is linked)
anyway I wouldn’t use docker or anything, using nginx on bare metal to host a website is easy and extremely lightweight
