Policing just tone is how you get very polite and nicely-worded conversations about exterminating untermenschen
“human biodiversity”
What I think would be cool is following hashtags from Lemmy, or a.gup.pe groups
Is Tumblr still planning on joining? That would be huge
The culture’s a bit too reddit-like for my taste, but it’s alright and some communities are better about it
I don’t even see footnotes in the documentation[1], but they can be pretty useful. It’s ^[text]
, in case others are curious.
EDIT: I see that the “fediverse” link for posts has been removed.
It’s still there, just not when the post/comment comes from the instance you’re on. Even though the post is to a lemmy.ml community, it’s from lemmy.world so that’s where the fediverse link goes to.
I feel like saying “I have to do this before anything else” might very well end with me doing nothing
There’s also something that looks like pink Morse code, near the top
At the same time that’s one of the bad parts of anonymous discussion. You never know if someone’s an expert or a random person guessing (on ELI5), engaging in good faith or purposely trolling, etc.
The other day I heard a random (young) girl say “what the sigma” and I had trouble keeping it together
Yeah smart kids can be very immature
At least on Lemmy, defederating is also a way of banning all the instance’s users from your communities. If you’re constantly banning one instance’s users and their admins seem fine with it, there’s really no other way.
If you’re defederating a lot, most of it will be tiny instances you got from some blocklists, so I don’t know if this really says much
Not allowing people to vote on posts from All - yes please! There’s so many cases of subreddits losing their identity because they started showing up on Reddit’s All.
That + mostly sticking to my subscriptions (coincidentally, none of them tech or politics) makes it feel like I’m on a completely different Lemmy
Anecdotally, the communities I’m interested in are getting more active in a way that seems sustainable (as opposed to last year, when it was a always a single person posting some, getting no responses, and leaving). I’m pretty positive about the state of Lemmy and the wider threadiverse.
8 values has 4 different axes, instead of left/right
Unless you have mods that aren’t afraid to drive out the assholes
Lemmy’s markdown does actually have footnotes![1]
they work like this:
