- Comment on Lemmy.today is absolutely beautiful 4 hours ago:
It’s based on lemmy-ui which is AGPL-licensed, so I’d think it would have to be released somewhere?

purely legal conformation standpoint
It’s still stupid even if it’s required by law.
- Comment on Is the threadiverse abusing Likes and Dislikes? 1 week ago:
There are some platforms that offer emoji reactions. That at least gives a bit more nuanced of a reaction than just “up” or “down” - but it is not clear how you would use emoji reactions to sort posts. The good thing about upvotes and downvotes is that it’s a very easy signal for which posts should be at the top, and which should be sorted below.
- Comment on Is the threadiverse abusing Likes and Dislikes? 1 week ago:
That’s fine but does that action always correspond to wanting to upvote or downvote the post? I guess maybe? Lemmy at least assumes so.

When are you meant to use them then?

What is a KVM? I’m not familiar with the term. I just meant that you aren’t able to SSH into the machine or something? But I guess if it’s turned off and physically unavailable, that’s hard.

Do you not have a way of remotely bringing the server back up?
- Comment on If a person assassinates a king or queen its called Regicide. What is the killing of a leader/president/head of state etc? Why is it called that way? 4 weeks ago:
While the other answers are funny, the real answer nowadays is either “murder” or “assassination”. There is not really a more specific word for it.

Lemmy, which is pretty known for its opinionated devs
The opinions of the devs have so far (at least as far as I know) not spread into the actual code though.
- Comment on Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social 4 weeks ago:
I feel like you’re moving from moderation to sort of oppressive or authoritarian territory once you’re literally building a social credit system into your software. If you want that, sure use PieFed. I don’t want that, so I won’t.
- Comment on Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social 4 weeks ago:
No just the whole thing. It seems sort of extreme to do all this stuff in the code. This is not something the software should have inbuilt if you ask me.
- Comment on Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social 4 weeks ago:
I mean okay sure, you can disable these things. But the fact that they are enabled out of the box in the software as written is a huge red flag.
- Comment on Fun fact: you can't upload this image on piefed.social 4 weeks ago:
… Wow. I mean I already knew there was some questionable stuff with PieFed but this is honestly next level.
- Comment on Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse 4 weeks ago:
Downvote and move on, if the name becomes familiar block them.
Sorry, but you forgot a step:
Downvote and move on, if the name becomes familiar report them and then block them.
Moderators should help so not all users will need to block these bad actors.
- Comment on German public radio and television (SWR) just published a whitepaper about the fediverse: "Chancen des Fediverse für Journalismus" 5 weeks ago:
Perhaps that was exactly the intent, to ensure that only actual humans read the content?
If that’s the case, it has the opposite effect. Humans generally benefit from being able to select text and not just read from an image. It’s of course especially important for blind people.
Meanwhile computers can easily read images via OCR algorithms.

Alright alright, definitely in those contexts there is no problem, of course.

I mean, that’s still acknowledging that damage is being done, just less than actual graffiti. I’d rather not associate the fediverse with defacing public spaces with half-scraped off stickers.
Again, feel like a t-shirt or a cap is a much better option.
- Comment on we need more users 1 month ago:
It might be because I am in Denmark which has quite a functioning and lawful system and where I see the most graffiti is in public transport, like on trains and train stations. The transport company spends a lot of money cleaning that graffiti, making public transport more expensive for everyone else (hence antisocial behavior).
So I can understand where you are coming from but my perspective is just different.
- Comment on we need more users 1 month ago:
I definitely do not find graffiti cool. It’s illegal and antisocial behavior. The art can be cool of course (although it very rarely is in my experience), but the illegal act is not.
- Comment on we need more users 1 month ago:
Isn’t this not much better than graffiti? I think advocating for the fediverse is great, but let’s not plaster unnecessary and potentially illegal posters/advertisements everywhere.
If you want to display an appreciation for the fediverse, perhaps there are T-shirts with the fediverse logo?

We’re actually seeing a rise in new user applications over at Feddit.dk. The hostile behavior of the US has gotten some Reddit users to seek alternatives to american platforms.
- Comment on How We Lost Communication to Entertainment 1 month ago:
Fediverse platforms are not in competition with each other. In fact, it’s more like symbiosis.
Why do you need a culture shift if anyone can just pick whatever platform they personally prefer? If you want a certain cultural approach, then feel free to use a fediverse platform with that approach, but there’s no need for anyone else to follow the same choice, unless they want to.
- Comment on How We Lost Communication to Entertainment 1 month ago:
I think the author brings some interesting points, but ultimately I think it’s a faulty premise.
The fediverse is whatever the user wants it to be. That’s the whole point really. If you want a reliable communications platform with zero dropped messages, aka email 2.0, then you can definitely build that on the fediverse and people can join such a platform if that’s what they want.
If that’s not what you want… Well then don’t join such a platform. Join another one. You do you.
We don’t need anyone telling us how to communicate or consume content or whatever we want to do with the fediverse. The whole point of the fediverse is that everyone gets to decide for themselves, so there’s no need to be prescriptive about any one approach.

From what I’m reading of the series, it sounds like the ending is bad? But it’s super popular. I’m confused, should I watch this?

Google respects “before:2012” for now at least.

I would say no, ochre would have more of a red or orange-y tint.

Kind of weird but suit themselves I guess
