Milwaukee election leader ousted 6 months before election in presidential swing state
  • The headline makes it sound scarier than it is. They're being replaced by the current second in command, not some partisan nut job. Plus, it's being done by the mayor of Milwaukee, a city that has a history of electing socialist mayor's; he's fairly liberal, especially for a state like Wisconsin.

  • One-third of developers impacted by layoffs in last 12 months, according to GDC survey – Half concerned more cuts on the way.
  • Article title isn't super clear, but this is for video game developers who have either been laid off themselves OR others on their team have been impacted. It's still bad, but the 35% quoted as impacted in the article is not actually a percentage of layoffs.

  • Saying they cited transparency issues is disingenuous. They never mentioned transparency in their announcement. What their reasoning was is that they didn't like having to worry about leaking unreleased features through their repos, and instead of finding a technical solution they decided to just stop maintaining their public repos instead and made the code closed source. It's shitty, but they didn't say it was done for transparency reasons.

    Here's the actual announcement: https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/6xfyfg/an_update_on_the_state_of_the_redditreddit_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

  • YSK: You can block communities from appearing on your "All" feed. just go to the website of your instance, pull up the community, and click "block community" (On mobile click "Sidebar" first")
  • It's a decent bandaid, but I don't want to block all NSFW content, I just want better controls around it so I'm not fighting an onslaught of creative new community names around anal whenever I open the site or an app.

    I could indeed join another instance, but figuring out which instances are federated to which other instances is a bit of a slog from a user perspective unless there's a big searchable graph available somewhere (which is entirely possible, I'm still very ignorant).

    And who knows, maybe the apps will get better and be able to grab a local-only feed for each instance you have an account on and can patch together a feed from them all mixed together, and that would get me close to a workable solution for the long run.

  • Thanks for the response!

    I think I might be done with lemmy until that's introduced. I want to be a part of the midwest.social community on here, but I don't want to block new porn communities every day as their volume of votes tends to dominate the feed.

    And I don't want to set it to subscribed communities only, because then I won't find new communities I'll actually enjoy and engage with. I think there's a lot of potential with these federated communities, but it's just not mature enough for user controls yet.
