What is the general stance of lemmy and other fediverse sites in regards to facebook trying the fediverse?
  • Why does the rest of the fediverse die in this hypothetical scenario? Presumably other instances are still alive and offering an alternative that excludes whatever shit Facebook's instance would have.

  • Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip?
  • Fair point. And this is why unions are beneficial to the working class, and also why shitty companies like Starbucks try to bust unions.

  • Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip?
  • A higher federal minimum wage would solve this problem. Employers are required by law to make up the difference between the base wage and the federal minimum wage ($7.45/hr) if nobody tips.

    But obviously $7.45 isn't a living wage either, so any tipped employee that actually makes the federal minimum is living almost entirely on tips.

  • What are your top 5 movies of all time?
  • 2001 is divisive. I love that movie, but I know so many people that find it insufferably slow.

    I think it's just too "spacious" for lack of a better term. It only presents the bare minimum in plot and focuses almost entirely on the cinematography. But just think about it in the context of 1968. This was during the height of the space race, and the film explores the core concept: what is the destiny of humanity and where did we come from? It's so fucking massive in scope that the only way to do it justice is to just give the viewer space to digest.

    As such it asks a lot from the viewer to fill in the gaps and use the film as more of a meditation than a passive viewing experience.

  • What are your top 5 movies of all time?
    1. There Will Be Blood
    2. The Fabelmans
    3. Gangs of New York
    4. Memento
    5. The Dark Knight

    This is an incredibly difficult question for me, so I have to list my runners up:

    • The Prestige
    • Shawshank Redemption
    • Pulp Fiction
    • Spirited Away
    • 2001: A Space Oddysey
    • Dallas Buyers Club

    I'm probably an idiot for not including The Godfather but it's been a long time since I saw it so I probably need to watch it again.

  • Calling all devs! We need moderation tools that can deal with the growth of Lemmy.
  • Yea I think it's still in "discussion mode." I don't really know how the project is managed or what the issue lifecycle looks like. AFAICT there isn't any kind of RFC process, you just discuss in a GH issue until one of the maintainers gives the green light for someone to make a PR.

  • Calling all devs! We need moderation tools that can deal with the growth of Lemmy.
  • I can code, but I've never been a moderator. What kind of mod tools do you want?

  • What screams "poorly educated"?
  • Unfortunately I think MLMs trap plenty of educated people. It's just a blind spot.

  • what if you are the nth person on line?
  • Most scientists agree it is finite.

  • Does anyone else hope the bulk of Reddit stays there?
  • Ah it would seem it's too late lol

  • Does anyone else hope the bulk of Reddit stays there?
  • I just hope the capitalist bootlickers stay there. I'm tired of bad faith arguments that try to slow down class solidarity.

  • Lemmy exceeds million users (maybe more accurately accounts)
  • How did you get this measurement?

  • LMAO THEY GOT BUSTED
  • I got a similar reply from a mod account (I forget which subreddit) because I used the word "crazy." Got linked to this list: https://www.autistichoya.com/p/ableist-words-and-terms-to-avoid.html

  • Why everyone is switching to NixOS ?
  • To clarify, Manjaro Linux with proprietary drivers works just fine with my 3070m. It's NixOS that doesn't work for some reason.

  • Why everyone is switching to NixOS ?
  • I will switch as soon as I can get proprietary Nvidia drivers to work on my laptop.

  • Not loving the prevalence of memes here

    Sorting the posts on this community by "top of all time" you see it's mostly memes. Is there a community like this where people actually discuss solutions to these problems and encourage activism? Otherwise this community is more of a way to distract potential activists with emotional venting.

    What kinds of things from reddit would you like to see Lemmy avoid as the user base grows?
  • You should say "fewer Nazis." Ha! Didn't think you'd meet a grammar Nazi so soon did you?

  • lemmy.ml is overloaded, use other instances instead
  • In theory, they can. But it depends on how it's deployed.

    From my cursory look at the deployment docs, Lemmy's default deployment option is via docker. It relies on a postgreSQL server, which may or may not scale horizontally depending on the admin's choice of implementation. For example, a deployment on AWS using Aurora would theoretically utilize auto-scaling.

    I haven't personally deployed an instance so, grain of salt.

    EDIT: A good discussion about DB scaling here: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/3005
