Theres also jak and daxter, i believe it was called openGOAL?

This is the way i see the situation:

Letting meta join the fediverse means they will captivate the general audience and the fediverse will stop growing. Realizing this, it could lead a lot of contributors to the lemmy/mastodon/activitypub projects lose interest, which will slow down development and could eventually lead to the death of the fediverse project.

This is how it goes:

People get accustomed to all the content from Meta/Threads

Meta adds extra features to their website which do not work with other fediverse instances

People switch from lemmy/mastodon to threads or join threads directly and never ever consider joining the real fediverse.

The fediverse project either dies down or remains a niche project forever.

In msn messenger emoticons were what emojis are today. So to me emoticons and emojis are the same… i dont what to call the things op refers to… maybe ASCII emoticons?

Edit: turns out im wrong https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emoticon

Edit: sort of wrong… emojis are also officially called emoticons

AFAIK european laws only allow to patent “inventions”. Software is considered to be a series of “words” in whatever programming language you’re using and, like sentences, it’s not an invention and can’t be patented.

On the other hand, software-assisted inventions can be patented as a whole.

With that said, software can still be considered a “work” protected by copyright laws.

Question: did you read the article linked? If the answer is yes and the comment still reflects your opinion, please leave

Edit: thought i was under a different post 🙄

Another feature I’d like to see is instance admins proposing multi-communities, as in: multi-communities which pop up in the search results and allow you to subscribe to all the the communities grouped together with one click/touch. This way the problem of community fragmentation across multiple instances (e.g. multiple instances having a a “memes” community) would be solved (or mitigated at least).

Still unexpected. And that’s the problem.

Comments are obviously public because I can read them. But there is no “upvoted by xx people (and downvoted by xx)” link I can click to see the list of people who interacted this way with the post. It’s only with API calls or similar that I can access the information.

No. The way Reddit works is that you care about the content, not the people posting it.

Mastodon must have a bigger problem with that (impersonation), but I don’t know if/how they solved it

LMAOOO

It’s either fediverse or nostr. But nostr is more twitter-like than reddit-like and is filled with cryptobros so no thanks no

c/pokemon shouldn’t be here then

For example, there is a hard coded slur filter in the lemmy code that removes words such as the n-word and similar racial slurs. Personally I think this is perfectly fine and anyone opposed to such a filter is a child, but Free speech absolutists and libertarians among you probably find such a detail abhorrent. I suggest you simply find other software, or go back to r*ddit.

There WAS a hard coded slur filter in the lemmy code that removed words such as the n-word and similar racial slurs. It’s gone now. https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/622

As per the “communist devs”:

This issue was completed a long time ago, the slur filter is entirely optional, you can add one using the config: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/configuration.html

EDIT and so your point “Software reflects the beliefs of its creators;” is supported - in the case of lemmy - by literally nothing.

stay on lemmy and never look back :-)

The default sorting is by “active” which to me doesn’t show a lot of new content (from the last hours). Switching to hot improves the experience a lot.

tried it, but it would only overwrite a portion of my comments. So I used “nuke reddit history” which does the same but it worked better for me. It’s a browser extension, not available for firefox (unless you build it yourself from the github repo), chromium browsers only. https://github.com/sr33/ares
