Despite the devs' well known communist leanings, I'm 99% sure that the requirement is there just to prove that the applicant actually read the registration directions and is not a bot.

The filter is setup for filtering slurs, not swear words more broadly. So "fuck" and "shit" are no problem, but "b*tch", "r*tard", and similar are censored.

I never knew the initial commit was on Valentine's Day. Also, very based how the very first commit is just the AGPL-3 license.

I can see people are still pissed at me for saying that literally all Israelis are valid targets for killing. I still stand by that position and wish all zionists a very die.

TBH I won't be surprised is sublinks ends up considerably better than lemmy.

The "considerably" bit is hyperbole on my part, but they have like 3 times the devs, can refer to the existing lemmy implementation, and plan on building more robust moderation tooling.

I think this is a good idea. My main question is: how could this reading club work? With a reading club for a book, you can have participants read a certain number of pages or chapters and discuss those readings regularly over some time frame. There's a sort of progress from beginning to end that keeps all the participants on the same page (pun unintended). How could that be adapted for reading source code and documentation?

Not much that can be done to prevent them from using it. Mitigation on the maintainers' part would be omitting them from suggested instances. The best way to combat it, I think, would be instance admins coordinating defederating from offending instances.

@CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml avatar

This is a good idea. There are currently mirrors on codeberg and a gitea instance, but I could see picking one of those platforms as the main place to host and making the github one a mirror. The main hurdle I can see for this sort of migration is that all the open issues are currently on github.

I've been wanting to change how the existing admin options are organized on the admin page for awhile now to be easier to understand. As for improvements beyond that, I'm open to suggestions from instance admins for improvements.

Regarding your last point, even if an offending user is registered on another instance, banning them will prevent them from bothering users on your instance.

CannotSleep420 ,
@CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Users can already block entire instances, so progress has been made on this front.

I'm curious how we'd go about automatic mod kicking. Instance admins are already able to remove and appoint mods to communities. What would a sensible trigger for auto-removing mods be?

Joy, but also panic.

I'm personally working a full time job in addition to this. However, I spend a lot of my free time contributing because if the only software I worked on was the corpo shit at my dayjob that ends up being cancelled before it reaches production half the time, I'd go insane.

I've found the people pretty good. I find it's easier to get a sense of community on here than it is on big tech platforms.

There was some discussion among the maintainers months ago regarding holding a contest for a new logo, but it never came up again. I think it would be a good idea.

CannotSleep420 ,
@CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Bomber for me.

I'm personally annoyed with how the default UI shows messages and mostly work on the frontend, so changing that is definitely on my agenda.

This seems like a big change that also requires a lot of brainstorming to flesh out. It sounds like it would best be made as an RFC for now.

CannotSleep420 ,
@CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml avatar

That sounds like a good idea generally, but it's hard to say more without specific feature ideas in mind.

CannotSleep420 ,
@CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Depends on what you consider taking down. The fact that the project is FOSS means anyone who wants to can fork the code, so it would be hard to eliminate one's ability to get the source code even if the main repos got taken down and the maintainers are detained or killed.

As to whether they can control the fediverse in a way that allows them to invent reality like they do with mainstream platforms, I could see them trying to compromise admin teams for individual instances. However, unlike mainstream social media, our eggs aren't all in one basket so to speak. They won't be able infect the entire platform like they can do with big tech.

I created an issue for this. Let me know if there are any other useful details I can add.

I haven't noticed a change, but I also haven't ventured outside of the echo chamber/hug box of my subscribed communities feed.

@CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml avatar

The person who opened that PR hasn't touched it in months and there are a lot of merge conflicts. Its progress is basically frozen.

I think that it would be good to mirror the Lemmy repositories to a FOSS alternative (e.g. Codeberg)

Currently, the Lemmy Project only uses Github for its repositories related to Lemmy’s development (e.g. Lemmy, Lemmy-UI). GitHub is a proprietary service, and it is owned by Microsoft. These facts open the door for a myriad of potential issues across the ecosystem, and community. I would like to clarify, though, that I don’t...

What's with all of these western news outlets trying to make Trump look good? As Victoria Nuland once said: fuck the EU!

How will the average lemming, Democrat, Republican, American and non-American react when Biden loses this election?

Every once in a while I read a new poll showing how historically unpopular he is. How do you think people individually and in groups will react to this seemingly inevitable (to me) result? How will society react and, if possible, change?

CannotSleep420 ,
@CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml avatar

This is assuming he doesn't drop dead from frailty before the election.

Self-styled “anarchists” decrying revolutionary violence as “authoritarian” and “oppressive” are so on my nerves.

Do they think the Catalan Anarchists had no bourgeois blood on their hands? Do they think the Makhnovites never executed counterrevolutionaries? Fucking idiots. I preferred it when anarchists actually threw pipe bombs.
