Hey, OP, do you have any thoughts about putting your app on F-Droid?

“We had previously decided to extend support to this community, but we’ve now decided to pull that back. No pullback of support of this community, though.” Disgusting.

So basically anything that makes it more useful than just doing it yourself.

Dude, I’m so fucking reluctant to say this because we get this all the time as vegans, but…

Antinatalists make antinatalism look obnoxious as fuck.

Hey, CG, would you mind editing the R-slur out of your comment? We don’t do ableism around here.

Hey, Blake, would you mind editing the R-slur out of your comment? We don’t do ableism around here.

Not even close, but okay.

Dude fuck off.

The sad thing is that this disgusting fuck isn’t rotting in prison for murdering his own daughter through gross negligence.

Actually, to be clear, I don’t think FOSS purity is bad. I just mean that denigrating what others are doing because they’re using something non-free while they’re making steps in the right direction is dumb and counterproductive.

To my mind, FOSS is the only way forward for a healthy, functioning society, and the fact that so much of our digital landscape is being gradually replaced with it is to me evidence of that. I think the end goal should always be pure FOSS, but that doesn’t (necessarily) mean immediately jumping to all FOSS; it just means taking steps to cut out proprietary software wherever you reasonably can.

It’a a start! Makes the switch much easier.

No need to beat around the bush: the movie’s core premise is that “eugenics good”. It’s really a shame that people (who probably haven’t watched it at all or in a long time) hold it in such high regard.

The great thing about RISC-V if you care about sovereignty in an age where CPUs run the world is that it’s an open standard. Contrast this with x86 which is owned in some part by US-based Intel and some part by US-based AMD as well as ARM which is owned by Japanese-owned, UK-based Arm Holdings. If you want to use x86, you’re shelling out license money to Intel and AMD, and if you want to use ARM, you’re shelling out license money to Arm Holdings. You never truly “own” what you’re producing.

Being pro-Hamas also wouldn’t be a crime, even if it’d be an asinine stance.

I can’t emphasize enough how bad Lemmy’s moderation tools are. It’s not just that they’re abysmally anemic (including that you can’t perform moderator actions on someone in your community without a comment of theirs to click the context menu on? what??). It’s not just that reports don’t synchronize correctly across instances (i.e. if you want to moderate a community on another instance, you’re at a severe disadvantage). It’s that they’re wildly fragmented, presented just all over the place like some kind of scavenger hunt.

• As I said previously, the context menu of a comment is the only way you can ban and unban users (except that you actually can ban them if you use the API directly).
• Moderation has zero hierarchy, so 1) any moderator if they want to can perform a Night of the Long Knives and become the sole moderator (fine for now when admins can quickly intervene, but impossibly stupid if Lemmy ever became bigger), and 2) every moderator has access to all of the tools (including appointing other mods).
• You can’t view a list of banned users and unban them from there; this gets back into point 1 where you need to dig up the last comment on your community (not easily if you removed it) to unban them.
• On Voyager (third-party mobile app), I have more tools than I do on desktop, which indicates to me that the tools are there in the API but just aren’t exposed on desktop for some god-forsaken reason.
• I literally can’t even view a per-community modlog on desktop. I have to go out and find the Lemmy.World modlog (usually from a search engine) and then filter by action and pray that it was recent enough that I can find it in the rest of the heap.
• Oh, but don’t worry. There’s a third-party tool for viewing the modlog, which is just ??? What the fuck?? How is this in some random tool you have to go searching for instead of in Lemmy proper? And even then, this tool has its flaws.

Edit: obviously no automod either, although I know that’s a much larger undertaking than any of the things I’ve listed thus far.
