So much potential for an interesting article, yet all we get is obvious AI slop.

Can you describe how (if?) the flair part integrates with AP?

I'm downvoting because this community doesn't feel like the right place for any type of meta-discussion.

Lies, damn lies, and graphs that don't have the Y-axis starting at 0.

10% growth in a day is nice, but far from a revolution. Let's see this trend going for a month.

FYI: it looks like Trump is going to win the popular vote on this one as well.

There is less of everything. Less sports, less hobbies, less local groups, less crafts, less academic discussions, less indie hackers and entrepreneurs, less fashion/brand/style enthusiasts...

Memes and entertainment are too shallow and can be found anywhere, we need to focus on getting some people focused on the deeper end. Reddit's strength is in its long tail of interests. Instead of running blackouts or general protests, we should have focused on bringing one specific community to Lemmy (like e.g, knitting), figure out the issues and support them to migrate fully. If we pulled that off, other communities would have a template to emulate.

Evidence No. 3783 that "social media" and "privacy" do not mix well together.

Let me repeat one more time:

• anything you write online should be considered public.
• There is no "consent-based" fediverse.
• There is no "GDPR protects me from that".
• There is no "security through obscurity".
• There is no "dark corner of the internet".

No matter your morals and ethical values, If you need to have any type of conversation that you think might get you in legal trouble, do not have this conversation in a public forum. Use #matrix if you have to, and even then you'd still need to worry large group chats which may have some undercover agent.

And if you are really concerned about "censorship", then ActivityPub is not for you. Go join forces with the bitcoiners and use #nostr.

410 Gone!
I was creating an implementation for the activity pub instance service transfer, but it seems to have spread far.
We are very sorry to those who have experienced inconvenience.

All temporarily used data has been removed and all data has been removed.
The figures in the data will soon converge to zero.


I trawled unintentionally.

There is also a lesson in implementing proper tests. During these holidays I started to play a bit more with Rust and went on to look at Lemmy's backend code. Not a single unit test in sight...

we’re avoiding

"We" are a minority share of the market and no one really cares about "us". "We" are irrelevant and we will keep being irrelevant unless we start actual and effective evangelizing for an open web.

This is not just about "avoiding", it's about fighting for culture change.

Repeat after me: anything I write on the internet should be treated as public information. If I want to keep any conversation private, I will not post it in a public website.

Can you tell me any successful open source project where the lead developers take a "merge everything with little fuss over quality, principle and overall design" approach?

Maybe PHP? When you think of PHP, do you think "that's a project I'd like to work on"?
