I personally enjoy knowing that the communities I’m a part of are decentralised and don’t exist to show me ads. I also like being able to use an open source app to access them.
This is why I don’t like Reddit and wouldn’t call this a clone.
Honestly I think an emulation would be a better analogy.
Keep in mind that if it is a serious security issue many projects have a way of reporting them separately from other bug reports so the issues can be patched before being published.
Lemmy is foss which is the only reason I’m here. I assume it being one of the only foss social media platforms is what draws a lot of other foss enthusiasts here too.
There’d better not be any ads.
Lemmy is free and open source (AGPL), the ad money would only go to the person offering your client not the people hosting your instance. If your client has any ads I’d recommend switching. I use Jerboa (Android, play store) and the official web app hosted by my instance.
There’s lots of LGBTQ+ and FOSS (I wonder why lol). Star Trek and science are also becoming rather common (or it just took me a while to find the right communities). I also get the feeling that the age bracket is larger than on other platforms and people seem to be nicer too (at least compared to the month or so I spent looking through Reddit before finding Lemmy).
Following is more about the kinds of post than users. (I don’t want to waste your time if that’s not what you meant by “common things people see”) There’s also some videogame and pornography communities (I’m sure there’s combinations too) so I do set my client to blur nsfw images and I block video game communities for games I don’t play/don’t want spoilers from.
Lots of webcomics also seem to be (automatically?) uploaded to their respective communities.
That could get rather annoying. Imagine if when you installed your distro everything was compiled from source (I apologise if you use Gentoo or LFS), it would take a lot longer.
Also people could still just upload a binary to various package managers (assuming the source is available).
Whenever someone else gives me their old one. I let the updates happen automatically if that’s what you’re asking though.
If you try hard enough normal ones are reusable too…
So why not just have a bigger shift key?
I have to ask, where on earth is your super key and why do you have two shift keys next to eachother?
I feel like different flavours of android might just add something like that Amazon search thing for extra money, while it’s less likely to happen in plain Android (I hope).
Why are wrapped in plastic? Don’t they usually come in some sort of netting and or loose and you can get as many as you like in a cloth bag?
I thought the thing on the right was a creature with weird eyes at first…
I as a DM love to do this.
They said they forgot to add the license. I think it’s best to give them the benefit of the doubt and believe it was always meant to be open source, even before being posted here.
