It's a sign of the times that this is upvoted so much. When I was growing up, this was called normal behavior and was boring and nobody talked about it.

Oh shit, uneasy feelings for managers... :)

Clearly a national emergency.

What are the plans around admin tools?

Instance owners currently gets notified when someone has reported a user for spamming or trolling, but frequently it's a user that is not on his instance, so he can't do anything about it. Wouldn't it be better if instance owners got notified only when they can take actual action (like the user being registered on their instance)?

New version of Lemmy just got released by the devs. :)

I plan to wait a few days before I upgrade the instance, just to make sure there isn't any weirdness being discovered. It's a small bug fix release so nothing major.

How is the instance performance for everyone? Just wanted to ask so there is no weird things going on.

If you notice images are loading slowish, it's because of how Lemmy software works. Images are stored on the instance where they were created, so if they were created on Lemmy.world and they are slow, you may see them loading slower here as well.

But the text content should be really fast since it's local on the instance.

There are people joining every day but we are still small, and if there is a need for more performance, I will upgrade the instance. Right now it looks like things are humming along fine.

There are a lot of mobile clients for Lemmy. The web interface is not that great in my opinion, so a mobile app is kind of needed. Some of the more popular ones:

If you are a new user to Lemmy, the most important thing is to subscribe to lots of communities so you get a nice feed of new posts and comments.

Click on Communities link at the top and select All. A long list of communities will appear. Subscribe to many of them. You can always unsubscribe if they are annoying you later.

This list of communities are only the ones that someone has subscribed to on this instance already. But there is something like 20.000+ communities in the entire lemmy network.

Go to https://lemmyverse.net/communities in a new tab. If you want to subscribe to something here, copy the link (ex: [email protected]).

Paste that link into the search box here at lemmy.today. Make sure Communities is selected in the list box to filter out comments etc.

It should look like this:

Clicking on the green link will take you to the community and you can click Subscribe on the upper right:

And thats about it. If you have any questions, just ask. :)

Hi guys,

Lemmy.today was just updated to 0.18.3 that came out yesterday.

Major changes

This version brings major optimizations to the database queries, which significantly reduces CPU usage. There is also a change to the way federation activities are stored, which reduces database size by around 80%. Special thanks to @phiresky for their work on DB optimizations.

The federation code now includes a check for dead instances which is used when sending activities. This helps to reduce the amount of outgoing POST requests, and also reduce server load.

In terms of security, Lemmy now performs HTML sanitization on all messages which are submitted through the API or received via federation. Together with the tightened content-security-policy from 0.18.2, cross-site scripting attacks are now much more difficult.

Other than that, there are numerous bug fixes and minor enhancements.

In the land of Big Brother, where they watch every move, They promise you freedom, but they've got something to prove, You're thinking you're free, but it's a digital ruse, With every click, every like, every view, they abuse.

They say it's all free, just sign up, no cost, But they're dealing in data, your privacy lost. Yeah, your likes, your dreams, your soul's the cost, In this world of 1984, we're all just exhaust.

(Chorus) If it's free, you're the product, in the corporate play, You're just a pawn in the game they play, If it's subscription, you're still the prey, Either way, you're a product, every night and day.

(Verse 2) Telescreens blaring, thought police on patrol, They're mining our minds, control is their goal. Newspeak is the language, they're on a roll, In this dystopian dream, they've got us in a stranglehold.

No matter the price, no matter the fee, In this world, my friend, nothing is free. We're all commodities in their decree, In this world of 1984, that's the decree.

(Chorus) If it's free, you're the product, in their wicked game, Just a cog in their machine, it's such a shame, Subscription or not, it's all the same, In the eyes of the corporation, you're just a name.

(Bridge) They sell us convenience, they sell us lies, In this digital age, freedom's the prize. We're trading our souls, for their disguise, In this Orwellian nightmare, we've got to rise.

(Chorus) If it's free, you're the product, it's their master plan, Wake up now and take a stand. Subscription or not, they've got the upper hand, It's time to break free from this corporate land.

(Outro) In the heart of 1984, we find the truth, We're not products, we're the living proof. With every heartbeat, every word, every uncensored thought, We're breaking free from the chains they've wrought.

I thought this was kind of a fun way to show discontent with Chromiums added Web Integration - someone made a pull request to simply remove it.

Its already been approved by a lot of us, why not add your approval as well? Click the Approve button and add your name to the list of people supporting the removal.

Google will of course not care but I thought it was a fun gesture.

I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

Use this link to avoid going to Twitter:

About 5 years too late but appriciated still.

People just don't listen or care. They click on chrome because it's recommended by their daddy Google.

The awesome Taylor Lorenz reports this on Mastadon. Highly recommend to follow her if you like these updates about what's going on.

What you do?

You start getting into Linux, buy open source t shirts, grow a beard, listen to Stallman talks, and stop interacting with normies ever again. Only communicate through text travelling over open source technologies.

Make sure you spend enough hours in front of a keyboard to get a very pale skin color, reddish eyes and a rounded spine and neck. Pull down curtains so you see your screen better and avoid sunlight.

Drink lots of soda while sitting completely still so you gain fat and lose muscles.

I use Arch btw.

[-] [email protected] 35 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

And we saw this was going to happen at least 5 years ago. But since the majority don't care, we get what we deserve I guess.

Let's just hope this doesn't go through.

It's saying a whole lot about the so called leadership team at reddit. This language is infuriating.

They are so full of themselves. They are absolutely not demonstrating leadership capabilities either. This is just some guy trying to push his own agenda instead of listening and understanding. I don't think they are capable of understanding, or they can't hide their contempt for the people doing all the work moderating their site for them for free.

That's like the coolest thing. I hope you feel super welcome here.

It's really nice to see this desktop come along. A third proper Linux desktop environment like Plasma and Gnome written in Rust. From system76.

Just loving this project. I think it will become real popular real quick when it ships with PopOS.

[-] [email protected] 40 points 2 years ago

I think you should walk together and just talk. The traditional idea of sitting down at a table facing eachother can create a lot of pressure when conversation topics temporarily dies out. If you walk, there are things to observe and talk about all the time. :)

Don't want any lizard cage fighting sociopath in my Lemmy thanks.
