as far as I am aware there is no work around to avoid community guidelines or whatever by using "/s" on lemmy. some of the instances have strong moderation so don't expect you can just do whatever you want and be welcomed everywhere.
@mwalker789 Are you looking to create a "to read later" list, or to save the content to disk? Pinning and saving is like the former but your ideas about a telegram bot suggest the latter.
@rodhlann I noticed the lack of kbin page when I was reading ActivityPub#Notableimplementations. All but kbin have links to separate pages and expect for WriteFreely, those pages all exist. Although as mentioned elsewhere the Pleroma page doesn't exist, that links to Fediverse#Fediversesoftwarepackages where kbin is also mentioned.
I think journalists must all be worried about looking like they "know too much" about drug stuff because even the shortest article contains basic errors. The lowest hanging fruit:
The DEA said the counterfeit pills — made to look like real opioid medications such as oxycodone, Percocet or Adderall
Adderall is not an opioid
Fentanyl is an opioid. If something has fentanyl, it isn't "fake opioids". It is opioids!
just checked. my livejournal is still up. last post 2005. i heard a rumour the site was purchased by russia or something? someone is paying the server bills.
do we really have evidence that the problems with a lot of mainstream social media has to do with size? there are shitty smaller sites like for example kiwifarms was vile but not very big. And other sites are expansive like linkedin or quora but pretty benign (if boring) AFAIK.
A lot of people who are comfortable with tech have a hard time remembering how unusual that is. We are all clustered together with each other so it becomes normalized. But think of all the facebook, tik tok, reddit, instagram users int he world. Who will run services for them?
It's all well and good for us nerdy types to say "OK, one out of every few hundred of us is going to run a little server". And we can support that because the % of people who have the skills and resources is extremely high.
For the rest of the population, who is going to put the kind of community cultivation in to setting things up, convincing people to move, orienting users, etc? If this plan was to be viable it would need to have a small army of volunteers to commit to creating instances for specific communities far outside of tech.
I can't wait til people start working on more tools to interface with lemmy/kbin. Soon the package managers will be full of clients, libraries, interfaces, scripts etc.
not at all meaning to be discouraging, but to solve anything at scale it will all have to be available in a browser or mobile client somehow. luckily with open source different people can work from different angles. :)
the impression I got from that documentary about him was that he was quite ambivalent about reddit and had nothing to do with starting it. he was declared co founder in some symbolic way after the fact. IIRC his arm was twisted in some business deal and he didn't take any satisfaction from it. he immediately set about actively doing everything he could think of to make himself annoying in the hopes of being released from the obligation.
Is this wrong? If I am on the right track, I think it's kind of shitty to use the memory of a dead person who really did some good things to make a point about how scuzzy reddit is. Which we are all quite aware of. Reddit sucks case closed. IMHO it would be worse if they put his picture on every page and talked about him all the time. Reddit should keep his out of its mouth.
Aaron Schwartz did a bunch of cool things and reddit wasn't one of them. He helped develop RSS which unlike reddit we all still love when he was like 14. He made a browser extension to automatically share public domain legal documents the state was hoarding for money. And he set up a laptop in a closet at MIT to download all of JSTOR one article at a time because that shit belongs to all humanity. Among other things. Please have some respect for this person and stop belittling him in this way.
yes the point of it is to keep a list of your rss feeds. an account is required for this functionality. Click "Créer un compte ?".
