  • Lemmy is obviously getting bigger and bigger. Especially with the revolts against Reddit, and it seems currently we are in a similar state to where Reddit was when it was first started. Are there any tools you currently plan on implementing for server admins to prevent bot accounts, server toxicity, etc?

    Also, do you guys have any worries about the fediverse devolving into a toxic cesspool of politics and unhinged users, like Reddit did? My worry is that over time, Lemmy as a whole will devolve into Reddit and be like one big virus that just spread over time due to growth. Once idiots find a platform to settle on they stay there. I think most people don’t want that.


  • Honestly I do agree.

    I’m not dismissing the fact that there are legitimate homosexuals and whatnot. But it does kind of feel like being in that spectrum is seen as the “hit” right now. Like this special group. Especially in teens.

    Of course I could be terribly wrong but maybe…nowadays it feels like being straight or not in that group is seen as a bad thing. Like if you’re straight, you’re actually bi and just in the closet.

    Maybe as time goes on and being LGBT becomes seen as a normal part of society (which it will) it won’t be so frowned upon whether or not you’re straight, or in that spectrum. I just think we should be accepting of either orientation or gender instead of pushing a specific agenda.






  • I honestly get it. Apple has been excruciatingly stubborn to adopt RCS.

    But they won’t. Because they want users to be pissed off enough to get an iPhone.

    That being said, I don’t think it’s worth hating iOS over. Or vise versa, iOS users just being petty and not texting you because you have an Android. Kinda off topic but the internet loves to shit on Apple…

    Meanwhile I’m over here with a Galaxy S20, iPhone 11 Pro, MacBook Pro, and a mid range Dell laptop running Windows 10.

    Also incredibly off topic, but IMO both Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro are superior to anything you can find on Windows. FL Studio comes close though. I hear Abelton Live is good too.

    I’m just saying both platforms do the same things very well, and both platforms do some things better than eachother. Troubleshooting on Mac is a breeze whereas on Windows it’s god awful. The UI on macOS is so much more consistent than Windows.

    Windows has better platform support and doesn’t depreciate APIs nearly as much as macOS. (Then again, DirectX 12 dropped support for Windows 7…WHY).

    The file explorer on Windows, while not as pretty, gives you much more control over the Finder in macOS. Windows gives you better user control over Disk Management too IMO. And of course, Windows is better for gaming. That might change over the next 5 years though which I am very happy about.

    Also, the Control Panel is fucking awesome and I have no idea why Microsoft continues to try and depreciate it for the trashy Settings app. It has everything you need.

    Bit of a rant there.
