- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 4 days ago:
I don’t think this is a problem. If the communities are similar enough, one will eventually win and be the bigger and main one. If they are different enough, they can continue coexisting.

I personally still feel like this brings the communities too close.
- Comment on Lemmy User Feedback and Improvement Thread: Share Your Complaints, Suggestions, and Ideas 5 days ago:
the Lemmy devs are very much against merged comments
For good reason perhaps? It merges distinct communities together, making communities less distinct. Different communities can have different moderation and participation standards and norms. Merging them I feel is a bad idea.
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 6 days ago:
Tbf a substantial amount of voters did see the comment - at the time of writing, 297 upvotes on the comment vs 483 upvotes on the post, or ~61%. So actually most people do dig through the comments, if the upvote count is something to go by at least.
Anyone who doesn’t read comments are unlikely to read reader added context, so you’re probably not getting a large amount of the remaining 39% of people to get the context just because you add some extra UI feature.
Besides, explaining the context is a much longer affair than a title and just wouldn’t fit. It’s not like I would even say that the title of this post is misleading in the first place, it’s actually pretty to-the-point.

It is implemented. It’s known as “comments”. You are looking at it. There’s no need for any particular UI feature for this stuff.
- Comment on Uptick in inflammatory posts 1 week ago:
We ought to moderate well and do better than elsewhere though. Well, at least I would hope that users would gravitate towards instances that moderate their users better, so we get more civil behavior.
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 1 week ago:
I’m completely fine with certain content being delisted because it is considered essentially on par with hate speech or something like that.
However, I really do not like that it is payment processors making that call. If someone makes that call, it should be the store in question (itch.io, Steam, whatever) or it should be the government.
- Comment on Prince Andrew must be seething that Donald Trump gets to chug along like nothing happened. 1 week ago:
Searching Prince Andrew doesn’t immediately give you the context and it’s not a pointless question because others (like me) may have the same question and would like to see the answer.

People, nobody deserves being downvoted for asking some simple questions. I too am not familiar with Prince Andrew.
- Comment on Being a Mastodon Moderator 2 weeks ago:
Yea wtf? That seems insanely low. There’s no way they can keep up with all content right? At least they can only be reactionary right, like when reports are made?
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 2 weeks ago:
Unfortunately I don’t think you can just make it illegal. People/companies would still do it, just covertly. Then you end up in a situation where adverts are not marked as such and that’s probably even worse than the current situation, where ads at least identify themselves as ads.
- Comment on Channel.org open beta 2 weeks ago:
Yea okay… Not sure what the point is of not just explaining it clearly 🤔
- Comment on Channel.org open beta 2 weeks ago:
They don’t actually explain what this is anywhere.
Yea I’m thoroughly confused, what even is this? Is it open source, code anywhere?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
It’s weird to talk about the fediverse as a whole having a civility problem. The fediverse is a large and diverse place.
It’s like asking “do bars have a civility problem?”. And like yea, some bars do. Other bars don’t. Depends on the clientele right?
For example, on Feddit.dk we have quite a high standard of behavior and moderation is based on that. Feddit.dk is not a large instance, which probably makes it easier to manage. I would not say that Feddit.dk has a civility problem. Maybe other instances do. But then that’s a problem for those instances to solve.
So I wouldn’t say the fediverse itself has a civility problem. To me, it seems perfectly possible to moderate an instance well and preserve civil behavior. If there is a civility problem, it lies with the specific instance that has that problem and their failure to moderate that behavior.
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 2 weeks ago:
Perhaps you’re right, but this is what I’m most comfortable with.
The vision (which is also still WIP) right now is a platform that combines the features of Facebook, Twitter and Reddit. Something that can interface with all existing fediverse services and handle all kinds of media (posts, discussions, microblogs, pictures, videos, anything, you name it). Ideally it should also be a place where you can bring your friends list and maybe even have a personal (non-anonymous) user. Imagine something that can replace Facebook, Twitter and Reddit all in one fell swoop. That’s the general idea.
Now, that’s just the idea but a lot of it depends on execution. If you’re truly interested, I’d love to talk more on Matrix to see if there’s some shared alignment. Obviously I have a certain vision for the project so there needs to be some shared understanding of the direction. Technology-wise, the backend is Rust and the (very WIP) frontend is TypeScript/SvelteKit. But non-technical contribution can be valuable too.

Also your avatar and the image posted here (not the thumbnail) seem broken - I wonder if that’s due to Anubis?

Most search engine bots publish a list of verified IP addresses where they crawl from, so you could check the IP of a search bot against that to know.

I’ve, once again, noticed Amazon and Anthropic absolutely hammering my Lemmy instance to the point of the lemmy-ui container crashing.
I’m just curious, how did you notice this in the first place? What are you monitoring to know and how do you present that information?
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 3 weeks ago:
It does - but I’m honestly also still refining that vision as I work on it and I want to have a coherent story and something to show before I show anything to the world. Just what I’m most comfortable with :)
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 3 weeks ago:
I’d rather ensure that I have something a bit more concrete to show before I “announce” it. First impressions matter a lot. And also, there’s just not a whole lot to show right now and it is not in any kind of usable state so unless someone is truly interested in working with me on this project (with a somewhat similar idea of a vision of where it’s gonna go and all that…), there’s really no use in sharing it.
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 3 weeks ago:
Great!
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 3 weeks ago:
I feel the state of the project is still too early to be public (especially the frontend, there’s really almost nothing there yet), but I can invite you to the repo if you have a user on Codeberg? I’d love to talk if you have a Matrix user.
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 3 weeks ago:
I’m working on a new fediverse software but I’m mostly a backend dev. But I have been learning Svelte/Kit to try and write a frontend. Just putting it out there in case you feel inspired to work on something entirely new :)
- Comment on Someone should make an anticapitalist Dexter. A serial killer who kills evil rich people. 4 weeks ago:
Honestly it has a lot of anti-late-stage-capitalism ideas but the core of the show isn’t even really about that. It’s a very good show, I’d recommend it to anyone.

Predicted what?
- Comment on Is the Fediverse stalling? 4 weeks ago:
(Piefed will probably replace Lemmy as the go-to eventually)
I think rather we’ll see more software popping up and diversifying the ecosystem. Then you can pick whichever you prefer. Which is the whole point of the fediverse. I’m currently working on my own implementation. Might take a long while before any alpha version as I’m super busy but I try to do at least a bit of work on it every day.
- Comment on Voting in the threadiverse 1 month ago:
This also presumes mods are, by default, inherently non-biased, held to a standard, and never have vendettas of their own.
Of course mods are not always like that. But if mods are like that, just go to another community. If mods are bad, just leave. On the fediverse, you “vote” with where you participate.
- Comment on Search sucks! Yeah, it does, and here's why. 1 month ago:
The solution is not to build this yourself. If you are sitting and building features yourself for search, stop. Use a dedicated search database instead.
