Interesting.

Although I see a lot of potential in the widgets and the dashboard, what I would like as a basis is the ability to turn a lot of the features and widgets off.

We are setting up the Bonfire instance for our student association, and I kind of want to present them with the simplest interface possible.

Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.

I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.

Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

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.

In Meck-Pomm will man keine Wohnungen vergesellschaften, daher gibt es da jetzt eine Rot-Rot-Grüne Koalition nach fast schon langweiligen Verhandlungen in den letzten 4 Wochen. Geht doch :)

Last year I had a conversation with a friend, who is about 10 years older, and we got to talking about celebrities who we expected things to come out about in terms of them abusing people. I had someone at the top of my list. She immediately guessed exactly who it was without any hint. Neither of us are in the TV/media industry. We have no insider info, only the very public output to go on. But we could both pick up something off. His decades of punching down. Something predatory that he exuded.

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.

After a week of training, our crew is ready and Louise Michel is patrolling the central Mediterranean again.

As long as borders exist and restrict human movement and policies criminalize safe passage, the sea remains a space of resistance. People will continue to exercise their right to move, and we will continue to stand in solidarity with them.

For the right to leave and for the right to stay.
While the EU tightens its borders and turns its back on people drowning, we continue to stand up for human rights for everyone!

Together we can make a difference.

in the uk, very occasionally, there is a feather or bit of chicken poo on your egg. nobody is really bothered or offended by this. american eggs, on the other hand, are power-washed to remove all traces of it, because in america, it is actually illegal to know about The Cloaca
