I’m only talking about transparency here, didn’t mean to undermine other moderation efforts and sorry if I phrased it ambiguously. But regarding informing users, yes, I think Lemmy.world admins do the minimum

It’s about transparency for me. The admins claim to care about it and users praise them for it, but to me it seems like they’re doing the bare minimum informing us about changes we are about to notice. Reminds me of corporations writing statements trying to sweep things under the carpet. You and I might realise what it’s all about, but many users without the context won’t.

That’s not what I want Lemmy to be. I want to feel included as a part of the community. I’m doing what I think I can to help it all go in the right direction

Seems like a pretty important detail. Why wasn’t it mentioned it in the post body?

Wasn’t the argument for having open sign-ups that some Lemmy apps redirect straight to Lemmy.world for registration?

I don’t blame you for this, but the uptime records are incomplete at best. I’ve experienced the site being down (and confirmed with Down for Everyone or Just Me), yet status.lemmy.world showed all systems operational. As I’m writing this, status.lemmy.world is missing most data up to yesterday and dash.lemmy.world shows 16 days uptime.

I have lots of respect to you for even having these. I also remember status.lemmy.world work mostly fine some time ago. But as of right now, both uptime monitors fail to serve their purpose.

I think it’s the least worrying of possible stances protecting possession of CP

If announcements of Lemmy releases are what you’re after, !announcements@lemmy.ml is a place for you. But in broader picture, subsequent updates are usually just not that big of a deal.

If you have to make it a specific domain, reddthat.com seems appropriate

Regarding voting, of course, it should be done after familiarizing oneself with the post to some degree greater than the title.

I meant changing people’s minds. While just the title won’t convince people to think a certain way, it will remain in their minds as one of many opinions on the topic they encountered. And it’s a shame if that opinion is the opposite of what the author has in mind.

A small reminder that clickbaity titles like this work against the author’s view for all the people who read just the title and scroll further. (And they’re not to blame. You can’t read everything)

TL;DR of the article:

Fall of Twitter and Reddit helped the Fediverse grow. Most users don’t know or care how Federation works and don’t realise the necessity of donations. Fediverse either remains niche or becomes mainstream, the future is not set in stone.

You have another “aggressively supportive” a few paragraphs above

This is excessive. I know they’re angry. I know they have a reason to be. I know they don’t mean this literally. But this is not okay. Maybe it’s less not-okay than what u/spez did, but it doesn’t justify doing this.

Please, let us not follow the same path this far.

What if they only introduced the API changes to get rid of the aware users and make it easier to monetize the rest…?

Edge is Chromium based, so I discourage using it as your main browser, but honestly, it’s not that bad. Works fine and has some nice built-in features, so there are perfectly good use cases for it

Can you expand on what you mean by information literacy?

Short answer: yeah.

Long answer: Instances federate with each other by default. Sometimes an instance defederates from a particular other instance, usually for good reasons (and oftentimes you’re not missing out on valuable stuff). Your instance hosts your account and stuff you post, but connects you to stuff hosted on other instances as well. If some instance goes down, noone can access stuff posted from that instance (like users, posts etc.)

Some things are very dangerous even though for inexperienced they might not seem so. Case in point: the microwave. It has a powerful capacitor and if you try taking it apart, it might shock you even when disconnected from power
