The mod of that community, qrstuv, is known to have weird opinions and enforces them heavy handedly. The no abbreviations thing is something that's come up before, don't know what their issue with the terms propaganda and kangaroo court is.

Just an fyi, but this is a news comm. Something like this would probably be better suited for !memes@feddit.uk or !okmatewanker@feddit.uk. I'll keep this up, but just bear it in mind for the future.

Damn, Gnosia looks right up my street, thanks.

I've actually played the start of Stars and Time, but I spent most of my time trying to change the font as I hated the default one and never came back to it after I worked out how. I'll push it to the top of my 'play next' pile (well, after Outer Wilds given what others here have said).

It was more active when I made the post, but it's petered out a bit. Anyway, thanks for volunteering!

Huh, I've heard a lot of praise for Outer Wilds but no one's ever mentioned it's a time loop.

LMAO, a and o are on opposite end of the keyboard, how do you even do this?

It's not a brag, it's a confession.

I treat my inbox here like my email inbox (I have 548 'unread' notifications).

I understand and kinda agree with the reasoning, even though I love middle click paste. At least they're saying there'll be a setting to re enable it, the first thing I do on a fresh install is install Tweaks/Refine to rebind caps lock as ctrl so clicking an extra toggle wouldn't be the biggest issue.

The reason is bullshit, for sure. They should have pointed to the comm rule instead.

I mod !uk_politics and I've seen good articles go negative just because people don't find the headline agreeable.

It’s rather questionable whether it’s worth it to dogpile the post with negative comments, versus just downvoting and moving on.

One, downvoting something can be a form of dogpiling and two, the mods clearly want disagreement to be voiced in the comments not through downvotes. This is laid in rules so I don't think this constitutes power tripping behaviour.

How is just downvoting something telling someone a post is misinformation? People downvote stuff over the most random crap here. Also, they didn't use admin powers, no site bans were handed out only 3 month comm bans.

Sure, it's a bad article that relies on iffy reasoning, but it manages to dress that up enough that I can see why someone might be duped by it. And it hardly seems fair to be this vitriolic about someone being misinformed and enforcing their comm rules when no actually points out what's wrong with what's been posted or links to actual numbers, rather than guesstimations of the article author.

Rule 4 of that comm is:

Don’t downvote because you disagree. Doing so repeatedly may result in a ban

All the bans are from people just downvoting this post (but people who downvoted + commented didn't get banned). Call the rule stupid or whatever, but this seems like honest enforcement of an established rule so I'd hardly call it PTB behaviour.

Nothing really, people just hate it because support for it is bad (which will be worse for AVIF or JXL, but hey ho).

Catbox is blocked by some ISPs irrc, could be that. It's not down though: https://status.catbox.moe/

APNG, which is technically not separate from PNG proper now.

I applied a patch to our Lemmy-ui to fix YouTube embeds, apparently I didn't have translations submodule up to date when I build and deployed it. I think it should be working properly now.

He told Wired in October that they're a current client, so no.

Weird thing to say for a guy who literally does PR for an 'AI robot lawyer' company, even if it is correct.
