Im wondering how long that will last. Surely, at some point, there will be anti spam measures to help combat that.
We finally did see some team orders and not some back alley strategy to handicap the second driver (Sainz).
Aperently r/shadowwar has already done this
I dont know if we have to wait that long. We have seen how a shake-up in some mod structures has changed the quality of a subreddit. Imagine that over multiple big subreddits. It could go really fast within a year.
I like the word 'Home' gives me old school internet vibes. But I fear it too would be abstract if providers is abstract. But home sounds exciting in the way that you could explore the 'not home' instances.
Yeah, I also got a particular problem with the word instance, as it signals to me there would be different content in one that is not accessible for the others. That's how it reads at first thought. But this is obviously not the case for Lemmy. It is all shared. That's why I like the word provider more. Gmail is an email provider. Lemmy.ml is a Lemmy provider, same as lemmy.world .
I feel like a much talked about criticism of getting started with Lemmy is that the 'average person' doesn't understand it. I see a lot of technical people, myself included, use words that the 'average person' shies away from. Mentioning concepts like servers and Fediverse requires some background knowledge. I propose we start using 'providers' instead of servers, as it helps understand the function of it instead of the implementation. There might be more words that could be confusing, so let's have a conversation about them. Are there any you recognize as being able to be simplified, or is this a non issue?
that Is currently an issue on the radar. Lets hope it gets picked up quickly
That is a really cool project. I will definitely try it.
Oh yeah, that is a good solution. Thank you
Could go the same way as Gmail. A lot of people just use Gmail. Gmail has a lot of control in the email space because of that. Even though "Email" is an open standard/protocol Gmail has control through the spam filter. Its really hard to setup your own email server without getting a lot of spam so it isn't that open anymore. These are some challenges for open standards as well.
Here is hoping lemmy is easier to moderate and doesnt end up like that.
I want to backup my comments and saved posts from my 10 year old reddit account before I nuke it. Just for sentimental sake. Does anyone have any tips?
