  • Do you happen to have a way to search without making an account?

  • tbf op said they made a flag, not "THE" flag :)

  • Ohhhh ok it's less bad than i thought! Thank you for the clarification

  • Just to be clear:

    basically, until now, instance ban was not an actual instance ban but "ban from the communities that person had in cache from my instance"?

    So if, for example, a new community was made, the person could just write there like not instance banned?

  • for reddit it happens that when an item reaches the ''top month'' status, it gets added to the rss

  • It's acceptable for some communities, not for others...

    To be fair I also don't like the fact that "private" usually means that the server admins can still read what's inside. I get it for images but for text...

    MLS on activitypub is very much needed

    The weakest link is the social element.

    From one sysadmin to watch, now there would be at least 2. It's better to not give a false sense of security, so I understand why one would not federate them at all.

    Maybe "gated" communities would be better rather than private in the case you refer to

  • The public records from the companies that sell stocks are not so useful anyway.

    Obviously I'd prefer to know more about Proton spending, but the examples made in the video like "I want to know how much proton has spent on that YouTube ad" are just impossible. You can open an Apple shareholders report and check it yourself.

    Still, I'd rather have no capitalism rather than capitalism + financial transparency reports. One day they will sue you if you don't pursuit more profit. Not gonna happen with foundations.

    edit: I misread the comment and answered like you were referring to openai and google and not mozilla and wikipedia, sorry

  • It's like saying Mozilla is a for profit or Wikipedia is a for profit.

    Having a for profit company under the non profit ownership is just to ease bureaucracy.

    This doesn't change the fact that the ultimate owner is the foundation and so there is no shareholder to pressure etc.

    A counter argument to this could have been exploring the OpenAI case and how it's trying to get out of the no profit model. But for some reason privacy YouTubers never make that much research into stuff... Almost like they are just earning on that engagement that you get when not being boringly nuanced :)

    The YouTuber also states that 9 privacy policies are bad and tbh Proton could probably unify some of them but the thing is that they are actually different: they said in the past, for example, that privacy laws for VPNs in Switzerland are better than those for emails, so it's pretty ok to have 2 different privacy policies (I wonder if they could at least unifiy drive, mail calendar ones). Google can have just one because it's simply "we gather as much data as we can" for every service they have.

  • as you sensed, it's under the website control: readers just check the rss ''file'' and show it to you in a nice way, every now and then they check for new articles and if your readers supports it you can save the older ones as they come

    there can be also limits hardcoded in the reader that don't let you take more than x items from a new feed but anyway the most majority of rss files just have the last y items, it's rare that they expose everything (it would be a mess)

  • The road to hell is paved with good intentions

  • Post-capitalism is just "we are the good crypto bros". It's true that they are not bad people, but it's still capitalism without any doubt.

  • That's not happening to me... I've installed it from brew and there is no need for me to do anything weird except the occasional "this app was downloaded from internet so you allow it" when updating from brew (stuff that gets updated natively doesn't even ask this)

  • I think people are retreating more and more into chat groups. Those people are not on reddit anymore, they are probably in discord related to certain products hobbies etc.

    I really wonder how long until we will start seeing the effects of not having more updated general knowledge in the public web, but oh well 🤷

    On a side note, after all, the web always had a bias and a lot of fields never had easily available public discussions...

  • I would rework the other stuff, like the whole branding because all that hacker green doesn't help in feeling the communities. And the images for the same reason... Also there are some features that are worthless listing like "you can have an avatar"

    Also the censorship thing...

    Let's say that the homepage kinda reflects the state of lemmy people as a group right now and it's not so nice imo

    Focussing on being a clean forum with nested answers and human curated algorithm and idk, just pointing some low hanging fruits

    On a side note I wonder if having the page as onboarding for users instead of explaining the software is the right target. Ideally it should be communities trying to outreach to have people on their servers, not the software asking to join people who use the software (?)

    But I digress.

    On a marketing level point of view, while we are clearly the small fish, it's not bad to leverage being enemies of Reddit. Like in the past we've seen much more Apple vs Microsoft while now they ignore each other.

    "Reddit if was not owned by venture capitalists who keep ruining your life" lol (too long)

    Anyway, is there any kind of data to know if people actually join lemmy by joinlemmy site?

    A community poll for Lemmy users would be good.

  • Mastodon also got the rss for user's media, useful to follow artists

  • As for Reddit, go away from the main subs

    unluckily niches are not yet developed enough but still better than nothing and you can help with posting

  • It costed nothing to say Kenya instead of Africa and Solar power revolution instead of solarpunk

    While the funds pour in, yes, startup are so nice, let’s see this fully integrated vertical stack with sensor for remote shut down how evolves with time…

    The same article could be done with the fediverse “solarpunk is already happening on the internet” or whatever good thing is happening in the world

    Sorry I just feel like the author is sugar coating a startup, a bit de-politicizing solarpunk and looking down on Africa complexity e_e

    Still an interesting read
