Not really interested in anything that even remotely mirrors “engagement” driven algorithms seen on other sites. It’s predictably resulted in siloing of information and the explosion of “rage-bait” content that’s pretty much taken over. Lemmy being different than that is a boon, not a deficit.
I pitty the poor, volunteer admins facing clueless users dealing with downtime. “You said it’d only be an hour! WHAT’S GOING ON!?!?”
Everyone has “custom” pronouns. Some just match possible preconceived notions about them.
Far Cry 3 was so frustratingly dumb and yet so popular. The gameplay was fine, but everyone was blowing up about the stupid ass sub-villain with his Philosophy 101 ”zingers" in “White, suburban YA saves ‘savages’ from themselves with horrendous war crimes” the game. It was really irritating.
As others have stated, it’s very little to do with being “prudes” and much more with being tired of horny anonymous posters just being horny. If it were something informative, that’s a whole other thing.
There’s finally an open github issue that seems to be acknowledged, but it’ll be some time before this feature (if ever) ever gets implemented.
Fwiw, the devs seem quite open to (even directly requesting) people coding features they want and having them added into the main code in future versions. So if anyone is able and willing to make a working version of that for Lemmy, it could be added quite soon, really.
When you’re selecting languages, try holding ctrl when clicking the ones you want. It should allow you to select more than one.
Thanks for at least linking to the best rendition of it :)
When those "someone"s are reasonable, sure, it won’t be bad, but when they’re not? Give the power of federation to a few instances, and that’s not just a possibility, but an inevitability.
We already know Meta is planning to add themselves to the Fediverse. Set down this path and the someone deciding who gets access and how will end up being Zuck, or someone like him. That sound like a good future to you?
So defeating the point of Lemmy? Nah, that’s a terrible “solution” that will only serve to empower big servers imposing on smaller or even personal one’s.
have been pleasantly surprised to see very little “le narwhal bacons when?” shit so far
You’ve been away from there for a while huh? That’s ancient Reddit stuff at this point.
Can’t really force anyone to make an app like that. As much as I love rif, I doubt we’re getting that treatment for Lemmy. Hopefully the sync dev makes a good one!
Fwiw, the dev for RIF has announced they’re going to be making an app for Tildes.
“So, are you planning to circumcize?”
You’re getting downvoted unfairly here. Yes, it’s the “right” choice to maximize the time with your kids when you can as those moments will go by faster than we think they will, but it’s also not the wrong choice to make sure you take care of yourself. Every parent is going to make their own decisions, and nobody’s “doing it wrong” as long as the child is reasonably happy and healthy (to the extent uncontrollable forces allow). We’re all just getting along here.
