There is no should or shouldn’t, they’ve always had and been entitled to that choice. People who develop and host those platforms can make whatever choice they want.
ActivityPub/the Fediverse is only a protocol. If you philosophically disagree with how a platform makes use of that protocol, then you can (theoretically) just use another platform.
not so hot because things are tense around my house, but i’m moving out towards the end of the week so hopefully it’ll be over soon.
Yup! If the software supports it, instance admins can usually add relays from their control panel.
It does work that way, but Mastodon and some other microblogging software like Firefish (fka Calckey), Pleroma, etc. can also use relays to populate their federated timelines.
Respectfully, how on earth did this design get cleared? 😭
Cloaks are really a cool idea and I miss them, not that I was ever alive for them being en vogue haha
A great look despite the obvious hazard of them getting caught on things
omg happy belated birthday!! 🤠🥳
i give my week a 4/5, been busy the past few days trying to set up a Firefish instance with my partner which has been just awesome and i’m super excited to open it up and get people on it! rly inspired by beehaw’s community-building style.
in less awesome news i’m moving back home at the end of the week and i’m not looking forward to it. moving is so stressful and i don’t want to be back home with my dad either lol.
VS Code, but may switch to VSCodium or Neovim eventually.
Respectfully, I just don’t think this is the right post for this kind of humor.
I use mostly the web app. Memmy, Mlem, Jerboa, Liftoff, etc. all look cool, but to be honest, I’m not sure I’ll ever go back to having an app on my phone like I did with Reddit. I think I want my engagement with Lemmy to be more on a “when I feel like it” basis than a “when a push notification summons me” basis.
This person’s upvoting beans, and you’re all just going to do nothing about it? What a sick world we live in.
Hey, although it’s no big deal since this is also about Lemmy, there’s a megathread for all Reddit-related news and discussion here. We’ve been encouraging everyone to direct most discussion related to Reddit there, and I figured it might be worthwhile to pose this question there since it concerns a former 3PA for Reddit. Thanks!
As a reminder, there’s a megathread about all Reddit-related news here - please direct all discussion about Reddit there. Thanks!
I figured it was only a matter of time before Unity made AI tools of their own - not too long ago, people in r/Unity were showcasing their own AI projects for building 3D scenes and UI. I wonder what this means for those projects.
I’m more partial to using Godot to develop games though, so I’m more interested in seeing how AI shows up on that front.
I personally disagree with the sentiment that going child-free is the solution to ecological catastrophe. Any individual’s decision to have children, or not, hardly compares to the systemic issues within agriculture and natural resource management which are causing it.
I thought beehaw was supposed to be the “nice” instance. You and others have done a wonderful job proving that otherwise today.
Well, the original comment in this thread which upset you came from your own instance. From where I’m sitting, that comment has been pretty much the only not-really-nice interaction you’ve had all day on here. Don’t really see where this strawman is coming from.
Could you add the link to your post?
It’s crazy to think that when I joined, Beehaw had <2k users, and now it has about 6 times that. So many server upgrades happened in just one weekend, many new moderators (a dream team, one might say), and many new servers to federate with as well.
Love being part of this ❤️
I have a lot of mixed feelings about Spotify’s UI choices, but I guess this is what Spicetify is for. 😅
finally getting more time off from work versus the 60-70 hour weeks i was pulling before, so i started participating in a game jam and trying to have a presence on fedi again.
