The Lemmy Club is currently suffering from "The Nazi Bar" problem. All of their top communities are run by three right-wingers as illustrated below.
The Lemmy Club instance admin doesn't seem to want to ban them, for the reasons mentioned below:
This vote is on whether or not we should defederate from this instance until they address their Nazi Bar problem.
Upvote = for defederation. Downvote = against defederation.
Edit: As others have mentioned, happy to treat this a only a temporary measure until the problem is resolved.
Edit 2: The Lemmy Club admin has said they will implement a rule against right wing communities, and has taken action on some problematic posts and users (see original comments below).
I'm willing to extend the benefit of the doubt to the admin here, as they have responded in good faith:
If you implement those changes then I’d be willing to withdraw the defederation proposal and consider the problem resolved.
yo need to contact the developer of you app and ask them to handle and resize lemmy emojis properly. They can be identified by their markdown code as they all have a special emoji string assigned like so
"emoji vouched"This is how they look on tesseract:
This is how it looks like on the web-UI via Tor Browser (Android)
Alexandrite (zoomed out to 0.25%):
Ye, alexandrite also needs to fix this
Also looks like this in Sync. Maybe instead of every app needing to fix your images, you should just fix your images?
My images are already "fixed". Those clients don't follow the lemmy standard for emojis.
I think every single Lemmy web UI (including lemmy.ml and lemmy.dbzer0.com) has it looking at least a little bit jacked-up:
I feel like it's possible that it's not correctly implemented anywhere except in Tesseract... the Lemmy web UI at least puts them inline with the text, but it still makes them massive instead of at an appropriate size for an emoji.
(I realize the code had nothing to do with you, but I think it would have been better to encode custom Lemmy emojis by doing a fallback emoji using the actual emoji character, followed by a block of U+FE00 block VS characters indicating a custom URL for a custom emoji image, so that apps that understand it can render it custom, but it still degrades gracefully into a normal emoji instead of jacking up people's displays and then telling them it's their fault that it happened.)
Edit: Actually... maybe markdown is better than weird invisible characters. This kind of thing is precisely what that block of Unicode is for, but I think it is bad design that it is there in the first place, so maybe it's not good to make use of them. The point that I'm trying to make is that it would have been better to make sure it gracefully degrades into something sensible instead of reusing image markdown in a way that's guaranteed to spring bad UX on everyone for some length of time, until they catch up to implementing things in the new way.
lemmyui has emojis like that regardless of how big you make them.
The default lemmyUI resizes to min 48x48 for some reason. This is a design choice by the developers. Tesseract defaults to 24x24 but can go to 48 if you want to. I agree that the current implementation could have been better.
Sync isn't being maintained actively anymore, and I think this emoji standard was added after the last sync update (pretty sure as a response to hexbear federating with their emojis)
I have sync too, i haven't bothered to find a new app yet but maybe it's time.
