Getting a ban from lemmy.ml is a badge of honour that many like to collect.

The problem is, they get so trapped up in the vague-at-best definition of “civility”, that they allow propagandaised bullshit as lit as its polite.
This isn’t how a community should be run, and it’s why the divisionists pretty much own the comment sections in any political posts and communities.
No mods have the balls to tell these fuckos to kick bricks.

I don’t disagree, but I think the heavy-handed moderation was often in service of “cleaning up” to make the website more commercially palatable. Like when they pulled r/atheism as a front-page reddit.
For me, the out of control engagement bots constantly commenting on my comments was the last straw that made me leave.

Brute force moderation is what killed it IMHO. Same shit that as happening to .world

I think it’s awesome that #Apple login services can go down and lock us out of our devices. I think it is a sign of competent management and people who should absolutely be in the position of power and authority that they have.
They should definitely continue to receive raises and promotions and everything that should never come their way.
I am super excited for the John Ternus’ reign of Apple. I am not at all profoundly concerned about his ‘move fast and break things’ language. Not at all.
@chartier gosh, how are you locked out of your devices? I’ve had prompts to sign in to my Apple account and calendar has stopped syncing etc, but I’ve still been able to use my devices.
stop asian hate, but we're not gonna look closely into who
Bibliophiles may enjoy learning that the journal I keep notes in while developing Gilt features imitation gilt work on the binding.
I have nearly filled it, and need to find another soon.
@ThreeOhFour Those page borders look neat. Is there any particular inspo behind them?

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

I’m new to the Fediverse, and so far I’m loving it
It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.
I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.
I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.
And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.
Je note que la presse quotidienne régionale ne parle absolument pas du mouvement social quand il n'y a pas de poubelles qui brûlent.
@colin_mcmillen Ils n'ont pas la place, il faut parler des résultats des clubs de sport locaux... c'est important ça les clubs de sports locaux !
Getting too close to Trump was a mistake.
@nickclegg and I knew that then.
It's clear now.
How dare these selfish men tell us they know better? (so-called "effective altruism")
If they're that smart and their technology that good and intended to help, why would it cause only devastation and despair all across, even all these years into the hype?
I think the explanation is simple ... it wouldn't.
And why is it still not paying off by now 😂
sorry for this little diatribe. and good morning.
we can do it. I don't know how to put the world back on track, but at least there's mounting resistance to this nonsense.
It’s kind of neat to be able to apply different textures to different areas of an image based on tone and color.
@mark My personal opinion on you not getting too much interaction on your artwork, while awesome, has been the shift to folks running a client that feeds both Mastodon & Bluesky…I have purchased an Ivory sub but am waiting for Phoenix. I know alternatives exist but often forget that I need to switch between apps because I’d rather give my money to folks versus the Indigo folks…no shade, just loyalty. @Tapbots ❤️
@ffeth @sknob j’ai voté Royal parce que Sarkozy 😑, j’ai voté Joly parce que vive la lutte contre la corruption et j’ai pas voté Taubira parce que j’ai vécu en Guyane et il y a les faites ce que je dis mais ne dites surtout pas ce que je fais.
J’espère voter pour Marine Tondelier. J’ai vu que la vache qui rit se présente, je suis hyper tentée si on ne m’oblige pas à en manger.
Bonjour les copains ✌️
@sanlaville11 @ffeth je crois que le score pitoyable de Joly a été mon premier réveil sur l’état de la gauche dans ce pays. On peut trouver tous les défauts à Tondelier, mais elle est tellement moins problématique que les autres candidats de gauche que c’est même pas drôle.
La bise à toi Valérie (et la vache qui rit, c’est de droite 😄)
Happy 15th anniversary Skyrim!
The final day you are the latest numbered sequel in the series is starting to feel much closer now, but you've done better than anyone could have expected with your time with that distinction.
You're fantastic, and we'll still be spending considerable time with you in the years to come, even after Sentinel finally arrives. We hope you have a good birthday, and you enjoy a sweet roll from us!
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
