- Comment on Among games with over 10K reviews, Deltarune is the most highly rated 1 day ago:
Chapter one also released in 2018 (
78 years ago), so the game doesn’t really feel like it’s from this year. - Comment on Does he think he is The King? 1 week ago:
Polanski is doing one as well, but at the same time as the King’s Speech. This is apparently just a feature of British politics now.
- Comment on PieFed 1.4 is released - emoji, federated stackoverflow and AI content filters 1 week ago:
Comments can be marked as an Answer, like on StackOverflow.
Was anything changed about how this federates? If no, what protections are in place against someone just patching their instance software to always return an

Earlier this week, I announced the immediate availability of a reference implementation for the Public Key Directory–a project I’ve been working on since June 2024. Hundreds of people shared it on Mastodon and BlueSky. Comparatively, almost nobody on Hacker News ever saw it.
I’ll admit I missed this despite it being posted in !technology@lemmy.world. Lumping Masto and Bluesky together here is weird though given the Masto post got 300+ boosts while the Blusky post got 25 reposts.

Wow, that’s bad. I would hate working with this so much.

of numbers instead of human-readable names
TBF, they have introduced a ‘verified’ system that lets you use human readable names.

Chris is probably just following the comm rule against editorialising titles.
- Comment on Still relevant, hasnt changed much after 2 years 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, people are tribal and decentralisation lets people express that in ways centralised platforms don’t. Something, something, tech won’t save us.
- Comment on Still relevant, hasnt changed much after 2 years 3 weeks ago:
Clicking though to community to post and selecting a community from the create post page are same problem rearranged. A user who subbed to ~technology@piefed.social isn’t going to know the difference between !technology@lemmy.world, !technology@lemmy.zip and !technology@piefed.social.
- Comment on Still relevant, hasnt changed much after 2 years 3 weeks ago:
Solution 2 in the post, multicommunities. I’m not sure it actually solves the problem though, as you still have to go to the actual community to post and I imagine multicomms add an extra layer of confusion to that.
- Comment on Waterstones would sell books written by AI, says chain's boss 3 weeks ago:
And that relates to a book shop selling LLM-written books how? Digital artists still draw what’s attributed to them, an AI author hasn’t written what’s attributed to them.

What’s your point?
- Comment on Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on? 4 weeks ago:
Can’t wait for the follow up post decrying PeerTube for only allowing videos, or Bookwrym for only allowing book reviews. Just because it’s ActivityPub doesn’t mean it has to be a Twitter timeline.
Once a major actor in a decentralised network starts to mess with the protocol, there are only two possible output: either that actor lose steam or that actor becomes dominant enough to impose its own vision of the protocol. In fact, there’s a third option: the whole protocol becomes irrelevant because nobody trust it anymore.
You mean like Mastodon? Where’s the angry diatribe about Mastodon not allowing posts to have more than 4 pictures despite other platforms allowing more (Pixelfed allows up to 20 for example)?

- Comment on How many instances have you been orphaned from? 5 weeks ago:
Just lemny.org.uk for me.
- Comment on It's been a while, which Lemmy instances should I be on? 5 weeks ago:
Hexbear is basically only blocks lemmy.world
Hexbear runs an allowlist, they only federate with instances they select.
- Comment on Question: How do I use "Secure Chat" and what are the differences 1 month ago:
The secure chat option is something called Matrix, which is a separate service that doesn’t integrate like Reddit’s chat. Lemmy just supports being able to set a Matrix account as the place to reach a user.

- Comment on Today is the birthday of His Majesty the King 1 month ago:
That’s not worse the Prime Minister Farage, which could be the case come 2029, so I don’t see your point.
- Comment on Today is the birthday of His Majesty the King 1 month ago:
This is an impressive amount of trolling, even for you Flax.
Feddit.UK’s intended audience is His Majesty’s subjects within the United Kingdom
No. The monarch doesn’t own me and I refuse to owe it anything. Hopefully one day the British state will get rid of the embarrassment of being headed by a family of nepo babies.

Obviously it’d only be a subset of HTML. No website that uses user-submitted HTML (Tumblr, AO3, Royal Road, etc) actually allows the full suit of tags.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Cool!
Image markdown style formatting to allow more advanced control of how images are rendered. e.g. 
You might as just let users write the
<img>tags directly at this point, at least then you won’t add noise to third party apps’ accessibility stacks.(I honestly wouldn’t be opposed to letting users write HTML directly, it was one of Tumblr’s best features imo)

- Comment on Delusions of a Protocol 2 months ago:
Of course, a hallmark of a decentralized network is that there is no central authority that could actually do that. Implicitly, this demand is a rejection of the very concept of decentralization.
What, you can absolutely ban people on a decentralised network. You may not be able to expunge someone from a part of the network they control themselves, but you can expunge them from the part you control. Bluesky has this power and has used it in the past.
