Well the thing about a tournament is that of course we cant know the team pairings of quarterfinals etc until the games before have been played. So we would need a source that updates itself with that info

I’m pretty sure thats due to how mastodon renders hashtags at the end of a post. Not due to how Lemmy sends it.

Yes there is an open issue on Github for moderation notifications (Get notified when you’ve been banned, your post has been removed, etc): https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4572

People keep bringing up that because of the devs history with that instance, “surely it is the Lemmy devs themselves who are doing this”. Which hurts Lemmy’s reputation overall.

That photo (I’ve seen it circulate on the internet myself) is a photoshop. Every reputable source says that no one knows what happened to that man, and we have no evidence whatsoever of him getting run over.

How exactly can a political policy support anything? It’s the people who call themselves after an ideology who support it. Not an abstract ideology that a guy invented over 100 years ago.

Crushing people with tanks

Just a heads up, while it is established that the CCCP killed tons of people on that day, the idea that people were crushed with tanks is disputed in academia and mostly considered inaccurate news reporting.

The famous “tank man” photo shows a guy standing in front of a tank in order to prevent them from moving tanks to another part where the protesters had gone. We have no evidence that he was driven over by that tank.

Well since all major lemmy instances seem to hide mod names in their logs, we don’t know who the banning mods are.

Lemmy.ml also has the funny quirk that it doesnt have a proper legal imprint or team list afaik. So we don’t have actual transparent information on who is on that instances admin team and who is not. Iirc only one of dessalines and nutomic is on that admin team anymore.

Anything illegal posted on a remote server will bring legal trouble to you as a server admin the moment it federates onto your instance. Therefore I completely understand them defederating from instances with a high risk of illegal activity.

He was on the board, it’s not like it was his project or anything. Imo he wanted to create a protocol, not a platform. “Improve Activitypub” like they always claimed. But then Bluesky realized that they can simply build their own platform and be Twitter 2.0

Is it a proper Activitypub feature or a Mastodon hack?

The real question is whether Evan & Tom will take sup’s way of working into account when researching this, or go in a completely different direction.

Steady great work, thanks! Also love all the nsfw stuff lol

The idea to prompt people who want to subscribe to a publication with “enter your email or ActivityPub address” is great

Thanks to you too! I see you in a lot of communities lol

Same here. It might be that the overall number of Lemmy users may be shrinking, but some of the communities I’m in are getting to a more sustainable level of activeness compared to automn.

Some great stuff in this one, looking forward to the next release!

I think people also think of different things when they Talk about the vague concept of "mod tools "

I think this would be immensely helpful for niche topics

This.

I dont know how many people here are aware of Fandom, formerly known as Wikia. Basically what they are trying to do is collecting niche topic wikis in order to profit as much as possible. Very much criticized over the years by contributors for their practices.

Ibis could be the answer for niche wikis who dont want to be associated with Fandom/Wikia.

You completely missed the point, the emphasis is at the end of the sentence:

in a way that people think to be very intransparent, undemocratic.

Of course they call the shots. But you can do that in various ways. You can engage with people and include people in those decisions in various ways. Wikipedia for example does a technical survey every year, asking: “should we focus our technical work on area A, B or C? What do you guys think should be prioritized?”

That does not mean that some specific task needs to be prioritized just because one person wants that. But I heavily doubt that the devs have an idea how popular or unpopular certain ideas/wishes are with Lemmy’s users.
