Some people use Lemmy. If you create a community and set it to moderator only mode you’ll be able to post updates as new threads that are federated without random people starting conversations outside of the posts.

Holy shit this is the first I’ve heard of Playlet. Giving it a go now and it’s already impressive.

I don’t think it’s a major offense to reply in your own language but since most of Lemmy is English speaking I try to respect the spaces that are clearly meant for something else.

I like to translate what I’m posting to whatever language the community is using. If I mention I’m using a translator the OP or another commenter will reply in English if they feel comfortable. !bubatzgartenclub@lemmy.world is one that comes to mind where this has happened in the past.

I agree.

Lemmy is still finding its feet and I think things like this will improve as it continues to grow and mature.

While Lemmy has been around since before the reddit drama, many of the large surges in users have been reddit refugees. As a result a lot of the apps we have are ports of reddit apps that the devs slapped together in a hurry to let users pivot to Lemmy. As time passes we’re seeing a number of new apps pop up with Lemmy specific features, and some of the older apps are still/finally being updated to be more feature rich.

The software Lemmy runs is also changing fairly rapidly so there’s some feature disparity between the webui and the various apps. Part of the normal growth process for a younger social media imo, but frustrating at times.

At the bottom of the page on every Lemmy instance there’s a link that will show you the instances it’s federated and de-federated from. Look for the link labeled ‘Instances’ from a web browser. Here’s the link for lemmy.world that your account is on-

This assumes the department or people involved with fulfilling these requests hasn’t already been compromised or shut down. The request means nothing when it never gets looked at.

I guess they got ahold of stronger glue.

Only because they wanted to huff it. The panel thing was just a coincidence.

Fuck the police.

ACAB.

Good thing when my main rig goes down I have a, checks notes, 16 RTX 4090 BACKUP MACHINE.

At this point they are mainstream and are probably gaining a crazy amount of new people who don’t know any better. They’ll stick around to talk to the bots and generate some ad revenue just like facebook lol.

It will be interesting to see how long this run lasts and how far it takes us.

No. Gorgeous pupper and a great photo!

Went from Google to Proton and have since moved on from Proton. If there’s one thing I wish I would’ve thought of before switching it would’ve been not using a single provider for everything.

At the end of the day it got me off Google, but with more or less the same situation I started with. Everything I was using was housed by one company. If they go under or turn evil you’re scrambling to replace all your online services at once all over again. That isn’t something I’m comfortable with so I split my service selection up and moved to multiple companies for the services I actually use.

Having everything in one place is super convenient until something happens that makes you want or need to move again. I’m happier now and ended up paying a bit less overall which is cool.

Lots of new people have been popping up lately. Very cool.

Hopefully existing users don’t run them off with their smear campaigns of instances they don’t like. I can’t imagine it’s very welcoming to join a new type of social media only to get told you joined a “bad” instance or that the communities you found are “tankies” and whatnot. Give people a chance to bed in and make their mind up for themselves instead of shoving negativity and personal bias in their face on day one IMO.

Lemmy is already a big shift from what people are used to. Don’t discourage them by being part of the problem they’re trying to escape.

Reddit will probably close it for them given enough time lol.

How many years will they make philosophical debates about it?

That’s all the bots are programmed to do.
