Good for them. Potentially means we won’t have election needles tomorrow though.

I’m on blahaj so I don’t have them enabled but yeah before I switched to blahaj I did

Sounds like the person who wrote the TOS was all over the place. Likely it’s AI generated.

Loops is currently a one man operation and I imagine TOS was the last thing they were worried about.

People on lemmy downvote anything it’s actually really harmful to the user experience.

Like a completely harmless post into a niche hobbyist community is often downvoted because a couple people on all decided to downvote it for no apparent reason.

Bluesky started off as mainly a community of comic artists.

Mastodon seems more heavy on “furry” stuff.

Maybe they are trying to get enough hype so it doesn’t end up being completely that way.

Communities only federate to an instance once someone from the instance has subscribed to the community.

What’s nice about here is even if you post an engaging post in a completely dead tiny community it still has the potential to get quite big since lots of people browse via all.

Correlation or causation.

I feel like shit and don’t have friends so I spend more time alone on my phone?

Or I spend more time alone on my phone so I feel like shit and have no friends?

Yeah I don’t feel like it feels much larger. But at the same time my blocklist has added 30+ accounts in the last couple of months.

I signed up and never got the verification email. It happened to basically everyone else that signed up too. Weird. Looks like the “official launch” was actually the “beginning of beta test”, weird how they marketed it as an “official launch”.

Same. I’m “boycotting” lemmy.ml if you will. Not contributing a single, comment, upvote, or subsciber count, to posts and communities on an instance that supports Russian and Chinese imperialism.

Thanks for your comments.

How much does the updates thing matter? Good catch on only supporting three years, I’m hoping the phone I buy lasts atleast 5.

Well I don’t know how you like it when a user gets mad at you for something you share and goes back months in your post history until they found something personal you said and then starts insulting you based on that. But I’d prefer to avoid the situation.

And “bad mouth” is very subjective here. They are shaeing an older post which is basically a transcript of the modlog.

It’s obviously an alt. And I want to say I understand OP’s decision to use an alt. I’ve had some creepy stalking and people downvote large parts of my entire post history for criticism of ML.

cheers

Outpacing? The “flagship” instance has a less than 5% the traffic of world, which doesn’t ban someone for mentioning Tianmen square or the Uyghur Genocide.

sounds more like a potential browser/cache/extsnion thing than lemmy itself but what do i know

Would love to have more freedom with relation to reply notifications. Such as muting a comment or a post.

I believe there’s been github issues opened and closed for atleast the past year but it seems to not be a priority for the devs. If I had the disposible income to put a bounty on the feature I’d pay for it but well I’m poor as heck.

Blocking instances doesn’t block their users. Only defederation does that.
