not so hot because things are tense around my house, but i'm moving out towards the end of the week so hopefully it'll be over soon.
What’re they mad about? 🤔
Respectfully, how on earth did this design get cleared? 😭
VS Code, but may switch to VSCodium or Neovim eventually.
Respectfully, I just don't think this is the right post for this kind of humor.
As a reminder, there's a megathread about all Reddit-related news here - please direct all discussion about Reddit there. Thanks!
I agree - my main reason for sharing with this post in particular is because the tie-in it has with Beehaw's recent decision to, at least temporarily, defederate with .world and sh.itjust.works; I just found the framing about decentralization, esp. the fact that the Fediverse is not a monolithic entity mandating a uniformly aligned approach, useful.
On the whole, I do think either ActivityPub's protocol spec would need some kind of privacy revision, seeing as it's already been a Problem where microblogging admins have had to block access by servers dedicated to mirroring Mastodon posts which don't delete their copies after posts are deleted by the user, or the software itself, Lemmy in our case, will have to make adjustments to its implementation of federation like you said. Of course, I'm mostly just conjecturing here and I don't actually know what either of these might look like 😅
The main part of this which I problematize are the people who are sticking their necks out for Meta and suggesting instances shouldn't be quick to defederate because this is, supposedly, a good opportunity to bring federated social media into the mainstream. Yet, in my opinion, they're not making enough of the fact that, even with their open-source contributions, Meta's software manufactures discord and bigotry on a massive scale. Letting them federate with an instance opens floodgates on that and for the stealing and selling of Fediverse participants' data.

A three panel meme of someone riding a bike.
- First panel: Someone riding on a bike. "Reddit is imploding, quick let's get on Lemmy"
- Second panel: The bike starts to tip over on its own. "Oh shit there's too many of us, we're being defederated?"
- Third panel: They've fallen on the ground by the bike, holding their knee in pain. "Fucking Beehaw"
Though this community is not extra-dextra-large, there's still a lot of posts and comments about Reddit - so much so that before we started doing the megathreads, it was clogging up the local feed and preventing people from seeing other posts. Even in general, because !technology is such a big community on Beehaw, subscribing to it drowns out a lot of the other content we have.
I second "sizzle" or "sissle." My partner pronounces API as "appy" and it's the best thing ever.
For anyone about to comment here, I just want to direct you to the megathread which @Gaywallet@beehaw.org has set up here in !tech for any Reddit-related discourse.
At first I read "would not like to see replicated" and I almost got upset, haha.
For me:
- Fountain pens
- Communities for different countries/regions or different language-speakers - on Reddit, I often lurked /r/de, /r/Philippines, etc.
- Mechanical keyboards
- Woodworking
- Oddly satisfying
- Star Trek
- Battlestations
I definitely second BIFL, Antiwork, and different communities for U.S. states, as I don't often get to connect with other people from Texas on the Fediverse.

There is no should or shouldn't, they've always had and been entitled to that choice. People who develop and host those platforms can make whatever choice they want.
ActivityPub/the Fediverse is only a protocol. If you philosophically disagree with how a platform makes use of that protocol, then you can (theoretically) just use another platform.
