- Comment on A load of mastodon users think groups are just autoboost accounts. 1 day ago:
Is this not basically true, that that is how group federation works? Not sure what exactly you are trying to say.
- Comment on xkcd #3082: Chess Position 2 days ago:
That would be even better, but according to this, only moderators of the community can request that from rss.ponder.cat. I am not a moderator of this community, so this is why I wrote my request the way I did; if you want to chime in there, go ahead.

- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 2 days ago:
Why do you think Donald Trump has any clue about anything he is doing? Has he not repeatedly demonstrated the opposite?

- Comment on How can we make lemmy have more relevance? 2 days ago:
By participating on it, mainly. The more people notice that using Lemmy is a way to kill boredom and stay informed about things they are interested in, the more people will look here instead of (or in addition to) reddit or Facebook or other places.

Get medication against acne from a doctor. That was the only thing that finally helped me get rid of it.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 3 days ago:
What place do I get teleported to? If I’m teleported to the same place on Earth, then I just fell down several meters into a swamp and am probably going to die here.

- Comment on Why are popes always really old? 1 week ago:
They serve for life (or until resignation), so if someone relatively young is elected pope, the same person will be pope for many decades. The cardinals don’t typically want that to happen, so they’ll tend to want to elect someone who is probably going to die soon.

- Comment on Did you know you can track elons jet from mastodon? 1 week ago:
Yes; I thought there had been enough news stories about this that this was common knowledge?
- Comment on Did you know you can track elons jet from mastodon? 1 week ago:
I think the above user was referring to this: faa.gov/…/faa-moves-protect-aircraft-owners-priva…
They are no longer making the information public which aircraft belongs to whom, so in the future you might no longer know that any given aircraft belongs to Elon Musk or any other celebrity. You can still track it, but you won’t know what aircraft to track.

Yes, you’re also one of the few usernames I keep seeing repeatedly.
- Comment on How are the blatant anti-competitive practices of Apple just…allowed? How is this even possible? 2 weeks ago:
Swift (the programming language) can be used on other operating systems too, just not for iOS development.
I’ve been wondering this since I first heard of the iPhone’s “app store” concept in the 2000s, so you’re not alone.

True, that structure does also have its own peculiar problems.
It’s just what I grew up with (from when I was a preteen, only first became active on reddit ~10 years later), so I’m kinda nostalgic for it. :D One aspect of linear forums is that you gradually got to know the people regularly commenting, much more so than on reddit or Lemmy.
- Comment on Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post. 2 weeks ago:
In my mind, that shows that “copying reddit” was not the best idea and people should really have copied things like phpBB or SMF for the flagship “community-based” fediverse platform, at least to start out.
On traditional forums, even relatively small communities cause interesting content to appear all the time, by thread bumping and back-and-forth discussion that can go over many pages. However it is obvious that this structure doesn’t scale well to communities with thousands of active users writing thousands of comments in one thread. The reddit structure works better for such communities, but most communities we have here on the threadiverse just aren’t that big yet.
I grew up with traditional forums and discovered other structures for “social media” much later; I still consider traditional forums way superior to any “social media” structure that is nowadays popular.

yes, I think I wrote that in the OP? Are you using an app where you’re not seeing that?
