Oh my God you sound like me 5 years ago, back when I was an insufferable Linux fan boy, constantly downplaying every negative of Linux and pretending none of the pros of Windows existed.
I never had the balls to pretend nvidia gpus performed better on Linux though, so you got me there.
Yeah, nuclear is to fossil fuels as planes are to cars, safety wise. Sure it’s a huge deal when an accident occurs, but that’s because accidents are drastically more rare.
You know how male animals like cows and moose will fight by ramming into each other, and the winner is the one that pushes the other one back? I’m picturing that, with the same serious faces, but it’s penis heads that make contact.
So this person thinks too dudes bang by smashing their dicks into each other full force? At least now I see why they might be a little concerned lol
I’m of the stance that it doesn’t actually matter at all if you give a platform up, it’s just the overall amount of time that does. So imo there’s no reason to not keep going to reddit for the stuff you can only find there.
Hell, if everyone on Lemmy never went anywhere else, all we’ve done is doomed the site to die off as no new people ever hear about it.
I sit in my open plan office all day, dreaming of the privacy of a cubicle
That’s one hell of a long running sentence right there.
Oh my God it’s beautiful!
I know there are a couple of other *.lemmy.world domains, are they actually listed anywhere? feels like they would make sense to be added into the starting guide stickied here for newbies.
You wouldn’t believe the number of autopsies where they found copious amount of dihydrogen monoxide, but still listed cause of death as “unknown.” I’ve seen teachers promoting this stuff to children! WAKE UP!!!
How is it going for you today? A couple of days back the dev was having issues attempting to update the servers to the latest lemmy release, and it was causing some issues interfacing with other instances and using apps. Should be fixed now.
It’s giving me strong ~2013 reddit vibes, which I always thought was around the peak of the site to be honest.
I think the community system starts to break down once the platform gets too big. As reddit grew, all of the big r/all subs lost any sort of identity and became the same amorphous community copy/pasted over and over.
The downside is that we don’t have as much niche content yet, but we’ll see how it’s looking in a year or so.
I don’t think it’s the start, but I think something’s happening. The internet has just been through an incredibly stable period for 10 years or so, but I that finally came to an end a year or 2 back. There have been lots of smaller social media platforms popping up for a while now, and I think the landscape is finally becoming less stable and more dynamic again.
Upvotes aren’t responding for me, but the comment is marked as upvoted when I refresh the page. I think it just isn’t rerendering on the frontend.
Edit: same thing is happening when posting comments. I refresh and the comment was posted, but without refreshing it’s marked as loading forever.
The problem is most people are confused and overwhelmed by all the instance business to begin with.
It’s a UX thing. Users can’t be expected to read up on all the technical details of instances and the pros and cons of different ones before signing up. I don’t know how it’d work exactly, but they really need a nice and simple “sign up” page that they don’t need to think about.
Maybe a list of all the decent instances to use - meaning pretty much all instances that are not catered to a specific niche, open to new users and don’t have any defederation drama ongoing - and then a global lemmy signup page can just randomly assign new users to one of those instances.
I thought that was just beehaw that defederated from a bunch of places?
Looking up on that sub and all the current talk, sounds like there was some issue where pedos thought it was okay to post CP there, but it seems under control now.
Probably not them allowing CP in the first place, so much as them struggling to moderate fast enough at first. Make sense for communities exploding this rapidly, and nsfw communities have always and will continue to need to constantly be tightly moderating to get any illegal shit out of there ASAP.
Meanwhile, Windows has become drastically better for development over the past few years. There are still some drawbacks, but a ton of the anti windows circlejerking in tech spaces is caused by people who haven’t touched windows as a dev environment in 10+ years.
