  • Sorry but i have to rant.

    There is a lot of misleading information in this post.
    Not misleading, straight to the point, on things no one else wanted to point out.

    Correct the CSAM wave was handled by admins on their own. As far as I remember there were no specific feature requests that would have helped in this regard, and anyway they would have taken too long to implement and publish.

    Yes we were put just aside because the feature we recommended was “pictrs” stuff.

    There is a fundamental lack of confidence amongst a majority of Lemmy instance admins towards the lead developers of Lemmy.

    Thats true and so far many instances ( i dont want to say who, because they should come out if they want to be known ) i and the lemmy.world team have many reports from users, admins that they want a better replacement for lemmy. ( e.g. Sublinks ).

    The moderation is TERRIBLE after 0.19, the sorting totally wrong unchangeable, every “resolve” leads to page refresh ( have fun finding your report you left on ). New reports are just never seen again, because you cant sort by new. The “All” view is terrible in reports and private messages. Marking Private Messages as “read” just refreshes the page and on the ui doesnt change anything, but after refresh it is marked as read.

    On 0.19 there are some occasions of untested things, like “Remove an admin” is not correctly translated. Something THAT primitive.

    We / Jgrim never opened a feature request because we already got enough by seeing in the history of feature requests of others.

    The ui gets just worse and worse, untested features goes to prod and not getting even a “Warning Untested feature” flag.
    We know you are just some guys in their free time. But then why not take your time, test it, make sure everything works, then release it.
    Quality is the key for a thriving software, not pushing versions like its a tournament on how many versions can someone push to prod.
    You are not a big corpo that can deploy fast fixes that fix any issues that could block instances, so quality is here even a higher priority.







  • If you say the function should only recieve one argument and returns always boolean. It is predictable to only allow the wanted args and forces you to return a boolean.

    For example in a less predictable programming language e.g. Python: I can do all above but python does not stop anyone to put more or less arguments to a function, or a developer not adding typehints or not complying to them and return a string instead of a boolean.

    But i had it wrong rust is similar to java on that part.

    But still it is a lot more popular and easier to start with. So there will be a lot more contributor to sublinks than lemmy ever had.






  • Facebook has like many thousands or even hundreds of thousands really dead accounts ( of dead people ), some of those accounts are just Oculus accounts as they got forced to create a facebook account, but i think those are very low in the hundreds or with low probability in the thousands.

    LinkedIn isnt really a social network for me, its rather you state your past work and current work only then to get invited to 6 sessions of coding reviews.

    Twitch is a entertainment platform ( like youtube ), not social media.
