Great work mate ♥️
Always good to see more people looking into platforms besides Twitter, plenty of great places out there
I thought the selling point behind most Twitter like services is that it’s focused on negative positioning. E.g. things that are negative focused get more attention and engagement
I’d like to highlight that there’s been a recent PR that’s added the licensing to several files
Actually had to re-read old mates comment above us to see if I was missing satire / sarcasm. Like no way anyone legitimately thinks like this? 🤯
Probably putting out another strawman argument to make the situation much worse than it actually it. Making it go from a scenario where licensing wasn’t followed correctly to a proposed new outrage where hard work from stolen from a trans person. Pathetic
You’re getting downvoted because you’re spouting rubbish without actually providing any evidence, not because people are “transphobic”.
Not every unfortunate action that happens to trans people can be attributed to people being “transphobic”, like it’s a coordinated attack
Yeah while I can understand why OP would be grumpy, their replies are coming off pretty poorly
I can’t speak for the other contributors but there’s been almost 1000 tickets in the space of 2-3 months. I’ve been fairly busy fixing bugs and trying to improve the UI. I’ve flagged it to ernest and hopefully this gets resolved soon so we can keep everyone happy 🦙
I’ve raised this in the matrix chat and have flagged this again to Ernest. I know initially about 2 months ago when the exodus happened that he was scrambling around trying to keep the server running as everyone joined.
Over the last few weeks he’s be busy with a flood of PRs with either fixes, new features or support for the upcoming API integration.
I had no idea this ticket existed (mostly because there’s been almost 1000 tickets submitted and I’ve been working on improvements)
Hopefully he can have a look at this and fix these issues soon, I seriously don’t think this was done maliciously, but I’ll do what I can to raise it (I have minimal exposure to open source licensing so I don’t want to touch these files myself)
The vast majority of comments in here seem to be focused on the attitude of “why you trying to start shit”
But legitimately from an outside presiding perspective, which instances have people found to be decent, there seems to be a heap of Lemmy instances, each with their own rules and vibes, so what’s the go?
I’d also say the brand reputation has taken a pretty decent hit with their awful handling of the situation. With an upcoming IPO you think they would have handled it carefully but they just seemingly YOLO’d it
Reddit was always going to rebound eventually, it’s got a massive userbase and can pull through a fair number of people leaving. I’m pretty happy with the amount of free time I’ve won back since I’ve stopped doom scrolling Reddit.
Pretty keen to see how the fediverse improves over time.
Need the opposite costume, the overly eager sys admin.
It’s pretty creepy to want to use people’s likeness forever, so it can be used for any purpose in the future. It’s perfectly fair for these actors to be pissed.
Companies will never do the right thing without being forced to do it, it’s just not in their nature. So having strikes and forcing their hand along with regulation is the only real solution
Seen this sentiment that green bubbles = bad a few times online but never it’s never come up for me. I assume this is a teen - early adult specific issue where the idea is mostly to be part of the group
It’s a shame to have to migrate away from a place when it was fundamentally damaged by terrible top-down decisions. 2023 really is the year of getting less for more.
Kbin seems to be continually looking into updating things but I doubt accessibility / vision support is high on the priority list right now, the issues tracker is almost 300 long.
Reddit admins made it perfectly clear they’re not interested in feedback or compromises, they’ve quadrupled down on that point.
The way they handled this situation clearly shows their contempt for their user base, they want you to create as much content as possible and farm engagement so it looks good for their IPO.
The best thing people can do is either quit entirely and migrate to sites like this one or at the very minimum only use Reddit for lurking, don’t post, don’t upvote / downvote, simply cost them resources as that’s how they see their user base, a bunch of parasites
I’m pretty fond of these little Velcro straps I got from Amazon that are like 10cm x 30cm, you use them to push all your computer cables into them so you can neaten them up. I’ve got several of them strapped back to back and it’s a pretty decent solution (and being Velcro you can just pull it apart later on)
