Add this you you Ublock filter list (change feddit.uk to the domain of what you’re using obvs):

feddit.uk##a[href*="tags"][href^="https://"][href*="mastodon"]

No, it’s the way it colours links and mentions. It’s very distinctive and the only client that does anything like it to my knowledge.

This is how Tesseract formats stuff.

The secure chat option is something called Matrix, which is a separate service that doesn’t integrate like Reddit’s chat. Lemmy just supports being able to set a Matrix account as the place to reach a user.

It not having the people to be a place for you is perfectly acceptable reason to not be interested, but dismissing near 40K people as nothing is just wrong. That’s the population of a decent sized town.

We’re the ones trying to make a product for them

I really hate this language. I’m trying to build a community, not make something to be profited off.

There are times where I’ll see someone mention something is against the dbzero site rules, so I’ll spend like 10 minutes trying to find and always come up blank. Like apparently it’s a site rule to tag gen AI content [GenAI], but I couldn’t tell you where that’s written down.

I don’t doubt some people have run into issues with Mastodon, like not being able to follow accounts because of defed, but I doubt it’s as prevalent as the criticism makes it out to be. It’s also a wild as the same is literally true of Bluesky, like there are Bluesky accounts you have to jump to Blacksky to view because the CEO of Bluesky got her feeling hurt because she didn’t like being criticised for hosting transphobes who break the site’s own rules.

You’re kinda preaching to the choir. Like, I’m already here; I don’t need to be converted.

Obviously it’d only be a subset of HTML. No website that uses user-submitted HTML (Tumblr, AO3, Royal Road, etc) actually allows the full suite of tags.

Cool!

Image markdown style formatting to allow more advanced control of how images are rendered. e.g. 

You might as just let users write the <img> tags directly at this point, at least then you won’t add noise to third party apps’ accessibility stacks.

(I honestly wouldn’t be opposed to letting users write HTML directly, it was one of Tumblr’s best features imo)

Maybe they’re looking at [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected]. Still weird given the UK is one of better served countries on here.

This is actually pretty good user retention. Most platforms bleed way more users after a surge in sign ups (eg Mastodon, Pixelfed, Threads, Bluesky).

They probably meant [email protected], which is the threadi version of r/place.

Or people asking questions answered in the article.

This seems way less insane than the ‘let’s model online age verification on pubs’ laws we’ve seen in places like the UK and France.

A ‘mode’ in emacs is a set of bindings which associate specific keys with specific functions.

Not quite, a mode is basically a lisp function defined with a different macro that integrates it into the various systems (like showing up in the modeline when active). It can do basically anything, including setting keybinds.

‘modes’ can be stacked on top of each other, with higher modes being able to intercept key presses before they reach lower modes, and changes / manipulate lower modes (I think?)

No, a keybind can only run one function and what that function is is whatever last defined a binding for that key. Like, if one mode defines a key to be something and you activate another that also binds that key, the latter takes over.

Emacs does have something like you describe, where functions can be ‘advised’.

I only saw this because someone reported it. Not good enough for the Illuminati apparently, despite being so, so gullible 😔

Not really, Chrome has an overwhelming dominance on desktop despite not being preinstalled on any desktop operating system.

ABI stability?

I don’t see why it’d have to be limited to Piefed instances and we can do certain heuristics to test if an instance is good for a user’s location (Piefed’s instance chooser does this).
