Yeah, and it started sucking when it added more users.

Surprising to me that Lemmy is only at 4.3%, it definitely feels very active to me.
jonne@infosec.pubto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Ideally, what would "discovery" look like on a social network?English13·8 months agoI personally wouldn’t mind algorithmic recommendations if:
- you can control or choose the algorithm
- you can turn it off, or it turns off after you follow N amount of users
Discovery is important when you’re initially signing up, but once you found the people you want to follow, you don’t really need it any more. It should just be there to help new users, essentially. As long as it’s open source and not run for profit, there’s not the traditional incentive to keep your eyeballs on the app like we see with the other networks.

jonne@infosec.pubto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Mastodon security update: every version prior to today's is vulnerable to remote user impersonation and takeoverEnglish10·1 year agoHas it been confirmed this is a federation bug?
jonne@infosec.pubto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Mastodon security update: every version prior to today's is vulnerable to remote user impersonation and takeoverEnglish65·1 year agoI wonder if the companies that forked mastodon (like truth social) will bother to update. I can see someone posting stuff as a former president with this flaw.
Yep, they’ll extend the shit out of the protocol, and that can take any form. It’ll probably start with cute emoji or gifs that look great in threads but render as some weird code in other clients, and it’ll probably escalate from there until you can’t use the fediverse in anything other than the threads client. After which they’ll turn off federation altogether.
jonne@infosec.pubto Technology@beehaw.org•KBin has taken over Lemmy in monthly active users countEnglish5·2 years agoYeah, it shows you haven’t used php in a while. Most of the gripes people have with it have been fixed over the years, and every framework encourages you to build an API-first app these days.
jonne@infosec.pubto Technology@beehaw.org•KBin has taken over Lemmy in monthly active users countEnglish2·2 years agoWould be hilarious if all the third party reddit clients updated at the same time to connect to a completely new board.
jonne@infosec.pubto Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit is crashing because of the growing subreddit blackoutEnglish13·2 years agoMaybe they optimised the site to have certain servers allocated to the bigger subs, and with them all going dark it screwed with that balance or something?
jonne@infosec.pubto Technology@beehaw.org•Elon Musk Says Twitter Is Going To Get Rid Of The Block Feature, Enabling Greater HarassmentEnglish6·2 years agoBlocking Twitter Blue users is the only way to make threads make sense again after he decided to weight them higher. Any time you open a tweet there’s like 10 Twitter Blue trolls with 3 followers that are sorted above the good comments.
That, and discovery algorithms that are user controlled maybe.
