I'm changing my stance on the whole Meta/project92 thing after reading this article. I think the entire* fediverse should block project92 by default. Later, some instances can re-evaluate whether to maintain those blocks, once we have a better idea of what the benefits and consequences of federating will be:...
I still don't see how things will exactly go bad for the existing instances by communicating with Meta instances.
The arguments in this article are "They won't moderate" and "Meta is evil". One is speculative, and one is biased... not convincing arguments to a neutral judge.
The drawback I see is that Meta communities will just be bigger and suck people out of the "nice" fediverse. But not federating with Meta won't change anything about it. If anything it causes harm because existing communities can't profit from the new Meta users joining.
Exactly. Why would facebook even care about the existing, tiny, fediverse? They are probably doing this because the infrastructure maybe makes sense somehow for geographic reasons to save on server costs.
For me, the first thing I'd do is clear my family of all debts(or whatever financial issues) there is and then the second thing i'd do is buy a hundred Siomai for me to eat...
But the machine knew that you would do that because it's so obvious, so box B will obviously be empty, which doesn't make it obvious anymore... and so on.
Since the beginning of Russia?s full-scale invasion, the number of Ukrainians who consider President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to be an effective Supreme Commander-in-Chief has increased 2.5 times and now stands at 86%....
They are kinda right though. An appealing design is important for many people. (Except for some reason people involved in opensource and linux stuff... fite me!)
Also a nicer design doesn't mean that it will be cluttered. You're just creating a strawman there.
Normal users don't want to spend time to customize! The site should just provide a few reasonable, good-looking options by default...
People aren't like "oh this looks bad, I'm gonna make it look nice", they are more like "Oh this looks bad, so it must be a bad site, I'd better leave".
Exactly! The answer the kid gave is the "correct" one because it shows a proper reasoning about fractions. While the teachers logic assumes that fractions are some kind of absolute value of measure???
So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did... you know... and we're on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.
I see potential in a site that offers an alternative algorithm, or curated list of channels, but still links to youtube for the streaming itself. The content that Youtube shows me has gotten quite bad lately... and the search doesn't even work properly.
Because currently, it seems like the only thing it's recording are downvotes. Meanwhile upvotes are completely ignored, leading to pretty much every profile I see having a negative reputation....
Boost should be removed entirely since it's nonsense to boost most things. E.g. even if I liked your comment here, why would I want to "retweet" that (and retweet into what even)? I just want to tell you that I liked it... with an upvote.
What are some of your favorite videogames from your childhood? What made them so special?
I'll start:...
Majority of gamers play with subtitles turned on (gearsrealm.com)
For instance, Assassin’s Creed Origins had subtitles turned off by default and 60% of players turned them on.

It was banned on Reddit because it is racist, hatefull and spread Conspiracies....
You just won One Billion Dollars, what are you buying?

image generators like Midjourney or stable diffusion?
Is there any way or any instance of free image generation tools floating around the internet?
New general purpose kbin instance (remy.city)
I've created a new kbin instance at https://remy.city. Feel free to make it your fediverse home--I believe it could support quite a few users.

I made the mistake of checking Reddit (using my last few days of Apollo) and came across a complaint about Lemmy that flabbergasted me (lemmy.world)
Do people actually like all of the overdesigned clutter to the point where it makes them not want to switch sites?...

YouTube --> PeerTube Next?
So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did... you know... and we're on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.
Can someone explain to me how kbins reputation system works?
Because currently, it seems like the only thing it's recording are downvotes. Meanwhile upvotes are completely ignored, leading to pretty much every profile I see having a negative reputation....
y'all ever frolic before????
