Could we use this as an opportunity to change the name to something that doesn't contain hate speech?
Just another nail in the coffin. Time to delete this app
One thing that definitely worries me with federation in general is the barrier to entry to hosting an instance is low, by design. On one hand this is great, but on the other hand it means just about anyone can spin up an instance and collect usernames, passwords, emails, etc. from anyone who signs up
I know this is obviously no better than an single giant corporation who can do that. But it's interesting to think about.
I'm definitely not suggesting kbin.social is doing this by the way. Your post just spurred this thought for me
As someone who's been looking for a reddit alternative for a while and occasionally read Hacker News, I must say I really like it here on Lemmy. Similar simplicity of Hacker News, but with more diverse set of communities.
hey it's me ur CEO
Because "master race" is a broadly known term, compared to a niche video game review. As I stated I am out of the loop having not seen this Witcher 1 review.
With all due respect and empathy to reddit's employees who do deserve gainful employment:
Does a link aggregator really need a huge labor pool? In terms of functionality Lemmy is already on par with how I remember Reddit 10 years ago (compared to which the experience of Reddit today is actually worse). And Lemmy achieves it with what, an extreme fraction of the labor cost?
Props to all the devs, admins, etc who are hosting all these Lemmy instances for us, btw :)
I guess I'm out of the loop. When I hear master race I think of white supremacy, not a Witcher 1 review
"master race"
Absolutely. Having grown up with MMOs in the early 2000s I honestly thought I needed to pick the biggest most active instance akin to chosing an active game server 😅
How do I block an entire instance from showing in my feed?
I can understand de-federating from something like lemmygrad.ml. I can't for the life of me understand lemmy.world or sh.itjust.works (love the name btw). Both instances just seem to be filled with regular, moderate people?
