Yea the Mastodon devs are seriously underestimating how lazy the average person is lol
because it affects the communities too, lots of outside accounts use the communities here
if there's downtime for the instance or database issues or something, then subscribers to c/programmer_humor or c/programming might want to know because it affects them too
hidden just means it won't show up in the All feed, but you can still subscribe to see all the posts from them
so this is much softer than defederation, and it's per community instead of an entire instance
He called Git simple lol. Some good points here though. GIMP is definitely a bit clunky. Kdenlive does crash a lot for me, and often fails to recover the autosave, and it renders slowly. But there's a lot of other good open source programs too. Firefox, OBS, Blender, some people in the comments were saying Krita but I haven't tried it yet. There's also Chromium and VSCode but obviously those are backed by huge companies.
The problem is this dilutes the comments.
If you have 2 posts and one of them has a comment, people might see that comment and join in on the conversation, also the human OP gets a notification about the comment and is likely to reply. What Lemmy needs is more comments not more posts.
But with bot posts you have 1000 posts and maybe 1 of them has a comment but no one will ever see it, people will see the community has lots of posts but no comments and that isn't interesting, it's just a glorified RSS feed at that point.
Communities are supposed to be comprised of people not bots. The Google definition of "community":
a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common.
we've got a megathread for discussion over at !speedrun@sh.itjust.works - https://programming.dev/post/16201685
but maybe there will be more discussion here instead?
anyways, it's live now, HYPE! https://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick
Also the moderation tools could've been Java and connect to the Lemmy database/API (maybe with some pull requests to add to Lemmy's API), which to me sounds a lot better than saying fuck it and rewriting everything, it could've lived in its own repo anyways
plus the admin team seems to get to most of the reports before I do
pretty cool how the tiered moderation of Lemmy works
The default browser on most Android smartphones will raise its minimum OS requirement to Android 8.0 with the Chrome 120 release in early 2024.
The minimum version for Google Calendar for Android is also now Android 8.0
well now someone needs to make the most obnoxiously American patriotic instance possible, as a meme
