Uh huh, just like how the instance/user block being horribly implemented to where it’s just a barely functional mute is just a (4 year) “oversight”.

Funny how their “oversights” just so happen to have benefits to their efforts to push authoritarianism

Probably what all “good cops” think, “I can change the system from within” or “It’s just a couple outlier bad cases, but I’ll make sure to only prosecute actual bad people”

Yea, but it’s in Rust, sooo that’s prob why no one has done it yet

I’ve also thought about forking it and re-writing it in something I actually know like C#, but I’ve only ever rewritten something from another language I didn’t know (C++) a few times and they were MUCH smaller projects than something like Lemmy so it’d be a massive undertaking for me alone LMAO

Me, coming from c/all: This better not awaken anything in me

If it’s the first, this is about to be fucking hilarious

Sorry, I thought I replied already, but I was uhh a “bit” tipsy and a bit in the !trees@sh.itjust.works a few days ago so I have no idea what numbers I was reading, but I could have sworn they looked different then LMAO 😂

Looking at it sober with such a stark difference, I’m going to stay the course unless there’s a significant drop in MAUs in the coming weeks

I have 0 love for Amazon, but…it’s better than going to Walmart

And my GOG account has 150 free games in it from them sooooooo 😅

Could it be, a rare justified WB cancellation lmao

!imsorryjon@lemmy.world

LMAO

I’m unfortunately stuck here until Boost implements PieFed support

A generation, lol it’s still going! I overheard a group of kids talking about it a couple months ago when school was still in session

Hm, !privacy@programming.dev is already the next off-world comm in MAUs and is just shy of the .world version

I’d say just go with the flow lol

It’s by Sako Asko, https://www.instagram.com/sakoasko but the original doesn’t have any words to it, it looks just like a template already lol

It’s the artist’s thing, they also made the crying guy in shallow water meme

I…I need the template for that meme :o

Drumpy has been promoting their brand new “rapidly assembled” ICE “detention facility” (read: concentration camp) that they (themselves) nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz” in the middle of the Florida Everglades (middle-of-no-where swamp land)

I hope all their kids/grandkids see this and never talk to them again, at the minimum

I frequently encounter Kuato, that user is an ardent supporter/defender of the Triad lol

However, it seems like it would limit the influence of that instance if they were to be honest about application of that label so… they refuse.

That’s what it’s all about, they want to spread their “message” and they take whatever steps needed to make their authoritarian “principles” hidden. Even their “What is Lemmy.ml” link in the side bar leads to a post that makes no mention of their politics, ideologies or the kind of content they truly allow. Just that it’s a “niche” instance lol

I wish that I could praise the Lemmy devs for the good they have done, even while also criticizing them for the bad. However, the more that I learn the less ah… “compatible” with democratic principles their authoritarian actions seem to me.

I feel the same, it’s hard to praise their good work, when there’s just so much…bad vibes surrounding it.

Is also the only general instance of note to do so, I love it for it, but it doesn’t make enough of a statement to the outside rep of the Threadiverse to make a damn for growth purposes. And I don’t think the admin of .cafe has the resources to scale either, not like .world does so it’s not like we can just massively dump newcomers to it either

You don’t need to “jack rabbit” out, but you shouldn’t be moving like a sloth either, every second of delay delays all other cars behind you and reduces overall traffic flow

Your analogy doesn’t work because nobody is talking about shutting their instances down or “taking them over” they are free to have their space and network with aligned instances.

But the rest of the network is also not obligated to federate with them and allow their misinformation to spread.
