They need to actually go into Ukraine before the US takes a more active Russian stance. He’ll talk a lot, but he doesn’t want a war with the EU. Europe needs to move first.

Should be fine with the way git works, just inconvenient.

Any maintainers (or someone here) should set up a regular job to git pull the repo every night.

Infinite options is bad design for a number of reasons. One is that when everyone’s experience is unique, troubleshooting is impossible. Two is that when you add an option, you have to support that option forever.

Options are expensive, at least if you want to keep your software working for a long period of time.

Rust is straight up better than C. It’s safer and less prone to errors.

It’s not feasible to convert the entire Linux codebase at once. So your options are to either have a mixed codebase, or stick with effectively Cobol into 2020.

Based on this article? Yeah, the downvotes are appropriate.

This article: Oh no, someone might have to step up and solve this problem in a year or two.

That guy: This is why I can’t use Linux now.

He’s going to get downvotes because the only speech censored on Twitter before Musk was extreme bullshit like neo-Nazis.

I’m on Boost, but should probably look at Voyager.

Comments on posts go a lot farther than just votes.

Reddit lounge was innocuous, and not at all the same. (Even if the basic mechanic is the same.)

You’re, please.

I really enjoyed the Reddit gold model. I paid them $30/year for many years because I got so much out of the site that I felt they deserved it. Their monetization was pretty innocuous.

Then the enshittification happened.

Lemmy.world is also the most reliable and the smoothest experience.

I strongly have the opposite opinion. Let people start on Lemmy.World and once they have experience (like you), they can move to where they want.

They’re an actual non-profit org out of the Netherlands with professional hosting.

Federation is a feature like divorce is a feature. It’s extremely important that it exists and is accessible. Not everybody needs to do it. Other servers are a fine option if you know what you’re doing and are willing to deal with more issues OR if there’s a compelling reason (such as the various regional servers).

When federation between lemm.ee and lemmy.world is behind by an hour or two, where do you think users will have a better experience? When 90% of their content is now a couple hours older, that’s a worse experience.

And spreading people out doesn’t really fix anything. It just puts more stress on federation technology. If you spread out all the users, Federation becomes a much harder to manage many to many relationship between all the servers, instead of primarily being a one to many relationship.

In short, if you spread out the users equally, suddenly every instance begins to have federation issues with each other, and everyone has a worse experience. With a bigger “main” instance, the majority of users are less affected by federation issues, and the issues are less common.

The regional servers have more of a balance here. 90% of their content may be old, but the 10% they are up to date with are the things closest to them, most important to them, and maybe in their language.

I do appreciate having several general use instances. I just don’t want to send newbies there who will generalize their experience to all of Lemmy and the Fediverse.

.ml would be worse than Reddit if they had the same number of users.

Name one?

Oh no, there’s no money or profit motive here. I guess that’s terrible.

Looks like there’s a viable alternative here.

While I understand that, I’m in America. My first priority has to be getting people off of Twitter.

Would I prefer open source, non-profit software? 100%. It’s the smarter and better choice for so many reasons.

But if Bluesky is going to gain critical mass, I’m not going to fight it. I’m having a hard enough time getting people off Twitter. I’ve written the media address of environments I’m familiar with asking them to organize a move, and I mentioned both Bluesky and Mastodon.

And we should just accept that?

You have nothing to hide. Just sign away all your rights.

I get that you’re using AI directly related to your point, but it’s still a lot of shitty AI spam.

Use it for your own research, but don’t foist that on us.
