  • I skimmed through it, it's actually a decent article.

  • are people still all riled up about beehaw?
  • No of course not but I subscribe to the original Reddiquette philosophy. Downvotes arne’t for disagreement. They were originally a form of user-moderation to stop spam. Unfortunately about a decade ago after the Digg exodus the users of Reddit forgot that original usage and so you’d end up being downvoted and not knowing why. It doesn’t foster debate or discussion. It’s a cheap way to snipe someone down without being responsible or engaging them.

    Very true, and that's why I'm more and more inclined to use an instance without downvotes. With the report button available, downvotes just seem like a shortcut for hivemind.

  • I love Mastodon and ActivityPub. But I think Nostr is going to win. Here's why.
  • Thank you for your insight. I feel like AP cares more about the community, while nostr is about the individual.

    Different kind of people will choose different approaches

  • are people still all riled up about beehaw?
  • I agree. I could see Beehaw survive longer than most other Lemmy instances, their community feeling is much stronger.

  • are people still all riled up about beehaw?
  • Lemmy's code isn't that easy to get into, otherwise there would be much more contributors to it.

    The third biggest contributor after the two main devs has 59 commits.

  • Tangara is a portable, open-source music player based on an ESP32 MCU
  • Nice project. $249 seems a bit high, but I guess it's like the Fairphone, they can't save as much as the large manufacturers do.

  • are people still all riled up about beehaw?
  • Hello guys, just wanted to chime in and say that it's good to see you three explain things in a calm manner in this thread. Nice to see you around.

  • NodeBB Update on Activitypub Development
  • Great news, thanks for sharing

  • 🏳️‍⚧️Trans: a place for trans community and support🏳️‍⚧️
  • Good luck with this!

    Interestingly enough, I always thought that Blahaj had a !trans community as they are a queer instance at their core, but it seems it wasn't the case.

  • Well done!

  • Which subreddits would you most like to see on Lemmy?
  • Have you tried reaching out to them to talk to them about Lemmy?

  • Looks interesting, I find it quite clear.

    Just couldn't find the creds for the demo instance, but could still see what it would look like. Thanks for sharing!

    Hello everyone,

    Just wanted to post this announcement as I've seen a few people in an !actual_discussion@lemmy.ca (the more serious pendant to !casualconversation@lemmy.world ) complaining about the lack of filtering features for their feed.

    It is now possible in your accounts settings, last tab, which shows users, communities and instances you block.

    Hopefully that can be helpful to some people.

    Hello everyone,

    Small question for you: do you have any idea on when you will update to 19.3? There is an issue with upvotes federation between 18.5 and 19.3 at the moment

    What is your ideal amount of socialization per weekend?

    Hello everyone,

    We were discussing with a friend the other day and how Covid has one good thing when it was there: the reduced amount of socialization.

    We are in our early 30s, so weekends get usually packed with one things on Friday evening, something on Saturday, sometimes Saturday evening too, and then you try to catch up with family on Sunday.

    In the end, even if it feels very good to see people, sometimes it can be quite tiring too.

    My current weekend was

    • a chill evening on Friday with a friend
    • nothing planned on Saturday until a social gathering at 6pm
    • nothing on Sunday

    And I feel fucking great.

    So that's it, just some random thoughts, what is your stance on the matter? Do you manage to keep time for yourself, or are you running from one event to another?

    Canada's West Coast Trail is an epic backpacking adventure. But long before hikers began testing themselves on this treacherous coastline, people depended on the trail for survival.

    We go back half a century to offer up ten essential films from 1974… It’s incredible to think that it’s been half a century since the year 1974. As a year of cinematic offerings, it takes some beating too with a slew of incredible films. This was still right in the midst of Hollywood’s golden […]
