Oh, okay, so I'm not crazy!
Saw this scrolling down /c/all and immediately noticed something was off with the tiny leg on the left. The only obviously weird thing (to me) was the planters on the left have the suspending wires attached to the leaves. I still wasn't sure if it was AI generated.
In a few years these are going to be absolutely indistinguishable. What a time to be alive!
I imagine apps and frontends should implement a hook to prevent this. It'll be a lot easier to enforce that way.
Lots of good reasons to bag on Spez, but this isn't one. That was way back in the day when anyone could be added as a moderator without consent.
The overwhelming vast majority of mods are not power mods and did it because they liked their communities. They're good people who worked hard to make a safe, fun place for others.
When awkward turtle got banned, they were happy too.
Yeah, those are doing some heavy lifting for the aesthetic here.
I remember looking for a wrist rest a bit back, but it was hard to find something that was a combination of:
This one is real sleek.
Come on, let's be adults about it. Beehaw has always had stricter registration requirements, but didn't defederate until just now. The problem was that they simply don't have the tools needed to moderate such a huge influx of people from uncurated instances and it was interfering with the culture they prided themselves on.
I'm not a member of Beehaw, but I can respect them knowing both what they want to be and when their limited ability to enforce it meant drastic measures to preserve the community. This is one of the good things about federation: they're allowed to do that and we don't need to switch platforms entirely!
Wish everyone luck going forward.
Beehaw has sign up requirements to curate the type of community they are. These other instances do not, allowing anybody.
Since any account can be used for in any instance still federated with the instance they made their account on, Beehaw was upset that their curated community was being interrupted by troves of unregulated members of the large, general servers. The tools for moderating Lemmy are also still in their infancy, so the Beehaw moderators were finding it harder to do their jobs.
So they defederated for the time being.
Very nice! Smart thinking using the multireddit link there, never even knew that existed! 😅
I think the next step is to secure VC funding or something. Yada yada yada, then collect your profits! /s
How are you liking Svelte?
All this just to say: I think the common denigration of this tech (not specifically your comment, since you clarified) is a cynical take that ignores important economic factors. Modern web development is flawed, but the direction it has moved is still forward.
Anyway, hope you have a good day!
It would normalize bot submissions, which is bad for a lot of reasons. Not the least, disproportional bot activity is one of the categories used for defederation for instances like lemm.ee.
Does Lemmy have the ability to move an account to another instance? I know you can delete and recreate, but the former would be useful for occasions like this.
