  • Thanks Spez!

    Jump

  • It’s a friendly transaction between users purely out of the desire to help, and leaving it available to those who have the same question.

    Further, it's a transaction that Reddit facilitated out of their own pocket. I think people are being extremely petty about it. It's best to just mourn and move on, we can still appreciate the golden years that Reddit gave us.

  • I agree, it seems very petty to me. If you don't like the direction just leave, what's the point of trying to burn it down? Especially given how much we all got out of it throughout the golden years. I say just mourn and move on.

  • Fighting Rust Anxiety: Insights from a Go Developer, Navigating Rust Syntax Shenanigans

  • This is just a rant about personal frustrations. I even probably agree with him on most of these things, but I don't think we need to share this kind of thing here. So tired of threads about how much we all hate and disagree with each other's languages. It's better if the rust people get rust and the go people get go. There is no one holy grail of a language that everyone is going to like.

  • [Lemmy.ca Discussion] What should we do about Lemmit.online

    Jump

  • I do not think it's fair to assume that everyone came to lemmy for the same reasons as you. I for one came because I didn't like the decisions they were making, not because I had any strong feelings about the ethics of those decisions.

  • [Lemmy.ca Discussion] What should we do about Lemmit.online

    Jump

  • Yeah, no offense to the admins who I'm sure are just trying to do their users right, but stuff like this is making me see the value of running my own instance, or at perhaps finding a more hands-off one. It's weird to me that instance admins (or popular votes) make the decisions about what content I get to have access to.

  • What from reddit do you hope to never see on lemmy?

    Jump

  • Not trying to insert my own opinion but I believe it's because the core Lemmy devs actually admin and/or are involved in said instance. Well verify for yourself but somebody said it's hosted from the same IP as lemmy.ml. And the core devs comment and moderation histories are public for all to see.

  • Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?

    Jump

  • You pointed out all the extra complexities. Visiting multiple websites, and making a decision, and understanding what the decision means. Those are the complexities, nobody is saying they are big but even you recognize they exist.

  • Do you believe Lemmy/Mastodon can become mainstream and fully replace their centralized counterparts?

    Jump

  • Mainstream is also what killed Reddit, better to have a "big enough to be good" community. I almost appreciate that the barrier of entry is slightly higher.

  • I don't understand Mastodon.

    Jump

  • Thanks. To clarify, my server would have to do this? I don't run my own server, I just joined a fairly small one (I didn't know it would matter).

  • Mastodon @lemmy.ml

    I don't understand Mastodon.

  • Do You Think There Would Have Been a Large Protest if Steve Huffman Just Said We're Charging to Use the API to Increase Revenue?

    Jump

  • If I were implementing this nefarious Reddit I probably wouldn't have edits wipe out the original Tatars data. It's certainly not necessary to implement edits that way.

  • Newbie bugs / confusion

    Jump

  • As for 1. I'm told they're getting rid of websockets in the next release, which should mean this annoying behavior goes away as well.

  • Good technical explanation of ActivityPub?

    Jump

  • I'd imagine your best bet is reading through the w3c spec if you want protocol details. I think reading it directly is probably approachable enough for a CS student and should be a good exercise.

  • For what it's worth, i just used the "add to Home Screen" feature on my phone's web browser (from my instance homepage) and it's working great. Indistinguishable from a normal "app" experience. In my case Safari on iOS but i doubt it matters.

    Edit: looks like this:

    Where should communities live?
