RE: Is Ernest still here?
  • Hope you feel better soon!

    I have to say that I agree with others there are significant structural issues with the benevolent dictatorship type governance model. A team of people with diverse skills, strengths, weaknesses, commitments and all that is needed to bring a project like this to its potential.

    Establishing a committee of some sort to share the work is really going to allow your efforts to shine to a greater degree and highlight your contributions, not diminish them. Perhaps getting in touch with some organization like Software Freedom Conservancy for advice? They exist to help with this sort of thing:

    Conservancy assists FLOSS project leaders by handling all matters other than software development and documentation, so the developers can focus on what they do best: improving the software for the public good.

    Mozilla names new CEO as it pivots to data privacy
  • Idk anything about this person in specific but my guess is that @ferralcat is referring to "legacy students". If you search for that term alone or in combination with "Standford" you can read all about what those words mean. The words have very well-understood meanings. For example:

    Nearly 18% of Class of 2023 are legacy students or relatives of donors, report reveals

    are people still all riled up about beehaw?
  • actually what you said was

    any opinion

    it's not a crime. but you know lemmy isn't a court of law right? you sound like an asshole.

    whether it deserves a ban I guess that depends on the context.

  • in summer 2023, when I moved here from reddit, the lemmy instance beehaw.org was extremely divisive. they wanted to create a website according to certain rules rather than a free for all. some people were saying it would be the end of the threadiverse before it even began.

    since that time, there have been various other intrinsic and extrinsic threats. I do not see much panicking about beehaw. did the threadiverse survive beehaw? or is this only a shell of what we might have had otherwise?

    Can I get browser notifications for Lemmy replies?
  • As a workaround, if you go to your notifications inbox page, near the top right of the content area there is a little "feed" icon. It is a link to a private RSS feed to your notifications. You can use an RSS reader like a standalone application or a browser plugin to monitor. You can get a notification that way.

    Above instructions are for the default lemmy interface as it appears on desktop. You can't find the link in some other interfaces. And kbin doesn't have notification inbox at all that I can find.

    What is going on with kbin - a week has passed with no sign of any life
  • @melroy Dude, you need to reign in your street team. This post and all the others like it are harassment done on behalf of you and your project. And you are here posting in support, condoning it.

    Tracking a person's online activity is fucked up stalker behavior. It doesn't matter what role they play in what project. It is harassment and obviously intended to menace. No matter what OP says, everyone can see this is the case. Look at the comments on the page. Do you see comments like this about any other open source project?

    It's really likely this will escalate. Nothing good is going to come of this. Kbin won't be developed any faster. Mbin's reputation will deteriorate, attract fewer users/contributors than it otherwise might have and specifically repel friendly helpful people who don't appreciate this kind of thing. Your instances may be de-federated for failing to stop harassment. OP will sink further and further into whatever miserable spiral they are in. You personally will be associated with all of it because as a community leader you come here to encourage OP in this unhinged behavior. Find a way to redirect this energy into something that is useful for your project, or disassociate from it.

    Steps towards a safer fediverse (DRAFT)
  • Imagining for a second that I had the technical ability to do so. The thought of running a lemmy server and letting random people make accounts sounds scary to me. Especially a "general purpose" one. I would feel responsible for the crappy stuff posted by users. How do people cope with that.

    Also would not be able to conduct the "investigations" required to determine if an instance was csam etc. Because that means you have to go and check it out! we can't have a system where every admin is basically required to view CSAM. that's crazy.

    Scientific Study analyzing impact of Reddit Migration on Lemmy
  • So far, not a problem that I have noticed or even seen discussed.

    Moderation is very light compared to reddit. I hope it will become more mature as moderators can really make special contributions.

    Quickly scanned your post history and it's a bunch of nasty nonconstructive comments with a similar tone to the above. If you experience problems with mods everywhere you go, it's probably due to your own behavior.

  • When I join threadiverse (summer 2023), soon everyone was talking about Threads and how it was about to destroy the whole thing.

    Then nothing came of it and the whole convo kinda vanished.

    Why didn't threads destroy threadiverse already?

    clients are the libre future; I hope kbin catches up

    On desktop kbin is 5x better than vanilla lemmy.

    But on mobile I have several FLOSS lemmy clients. They all have their pros n cons. Their development is spread out with different projects. Work and the responsibility are distributed from the main lemmy maintainers.

    The kbin webapp is pretty good, but not as good as a native client. There is of course only one.

    My feeling is that designing for clients (having an API) imposes some kind of discipline on projects. Like you can't just do whatever willy nilly.

    My other feeling is that kbin is setting up to be like iCloud whereas lemmy is more akin to sftp.

    Thoughts?

    When I Find-in-page for a term using ctrl+f or "find as you type" with "Highlight all" turned on, all results will appear highlighted. But then much of the time several seconds (variable) later it goes away, as though I had hit esc. If I hit ctrl+g for "find again" it starts again at the top. So current place in page is lost.

    This happens even if I take my hands away from keyboard/mouse. It is not some kind of input I am doing.

    Does this sound framiliar to anyone? Is there a way to make the "find" results stay found?

    Or is there an add-on which reliably implements Find?

    I have problem on multiple devices, for a long time, and with linux, windows and mac.

    A modern, maintained replacement for ls. Contribute to eza-community/eza development by creating an account on GitHub.

    I just learned:

    https://github.com/ogham/exa the ls replacement has been replaced by https://github.com/eza-community/eza

    the exa repo says:

    > > > exa is unmaintained, use the fork eza instead. > (This repository isn’t archived because the only person with the rights to do so is unreachable). > >

    For the curious, looks like the story, contributor deliberations and conversations are here: [Question] Is this project still being actively maintained? · Issue #1139 · ogham/exa

    hope everyone involved is OK & on to other projects

    both projects are MIT licensed and written in rust.

    You can be the one to create the kbin page on wikipedia

    Secure a place in history. Create the source material for hundreds of journalists, bloggers and shitposters writing about the downfall of reddit and the rise of the threadiverse. (also missing!)

    At some point, there will be some sort of drama involving kbin. It could be constructive drama or not; who knows.

    When it happens, whatever it is, lots of people will direct themselves to wikipedia to learn about what this website is. We all know wikipedia can be very influential. Even in the absence of drama.

    I can't believe how fast this addon was developed into something that is super useful.

    A month ago I made a list of all the available addons to address this need. There were I think 4-5 of them and I actually didn't end up using any of them because they were too simple and didn't add much for my usecase.

    In the intervening days (days!) this project has really fleshed out. I am impressed that you've managed to make an interface that makes sense. I wasn't sure if that would be possible because it is kind of an inherently complex situation.

    And on top of that, it works. There are issues with federation which are network wide and not much you can do about that. But as much as the threadiverse is willing to cooperate, this addon smooths the experience.

    Thanks, I really appreciate this.

    What does the federation status sidebar item do? Does anyone have anything after "Instances:"?
