dark times for people who think software should (gasp!) actualy be efficient in its use of system resources and not require you to buy a new machine every 5 years. we're heading the wrong way, and don't remotely seem to be slowing down.

the worst example is web development; it's gotten to the point that people are installing "desktop apps" that are in essence separate copies of chromium that only work on one website. when did software start going backwards, and how to stop it?

oh shoot, I'm not familiar with it at all myself and didn't know it needed you to have decent specs.

out of curiosity, what sort of specs are required at bare minimum and why? I'm guessing maybe for the android emulator to work properly, though in this age of insane, bloated electron software, anything could be the culprit, even the IDE :')

I very much appreciate this philosophy. It looks like this is the right instance for me :)

Oh, I fully agree. I'm here not just for this community but for the whole fediverse shtick too. And if this move gets more pirates who came here only for this community into fediverse/privacy stuff in general, even better! I'm really hoping that will happen, but can't be too optimistic I guess :)

And you're right about the risk to the original sub. When you think about it, it's kind of amazing that /r/piracy has survived so long, since reddit isn't known to be very conservative in using the banhammer.

me too, but still helpful advice for web users

just remember that jerboa is very much in alpha and needs more developers to implement the finer stuff like this. the guy currently working on it is also a developer of lemmy itself, so he doesnt have much time for the app. if you happen to have some android dev knowledge, please see if you could contribute!

huh, I didn't know lemmy also federated with mastodon. i guess posts from there show up like a regular post from a lemmy instance would? As opposed to kbin which I think has a separate tab in the ui for microblogging

anywho, i'm curious to know what the majority of defeds were for? like was it extremist stuff, heavily unmoderated instance, or something else

edit: appears from perusing the link above its mostly looks like reasonable defeds, though some of them are so small that it's questionable if they would ever interact with the instance

I'd known about the fediverse for a while but the final push I needed to move was the reddit API stuff. Now apparently something's happened to the old vessel as well, so I'm doubly glad to be here.

If I can ask, what exactly happened? Did reddit finally take it down or maybe infiltrate it with its own mods, as I've heard they might be doing?
