  • I tend to include extra images in the body of my posts, and have been driven up the wall for the past ~three weeks or so, as our instance started inserting code that just wasn’t working. Finally it seems okay now, but trying to research, upgrade art quality, and do little writeups on a near-daily basis is already kind of a tall task at times. Wow-o-wowsers, I didn’t need that baffling flakiness for awhile there. :S

    In other news, the community’s coming up on its 1yr anniversary and overall has gone pretty well. Over a post per day of content, and ~740 users so far. So, growing subscribers seems to be on track, but there’s still the huge question of who’s going to do most of the posting, eventually? So far its pretty much still just myself and my co-mod generating said content. Hmm…

























  • It’s more than just that IMO. It’s breaking the stated aim of open federation by tampering with comments, posts and mod records, which in turn get propagated or de-propagated to connected instances, right?

    Yes, you may say that ML is of course free to screw with their own instance, but 1) one instance (particular a significant one like ML) affects other instances, and 2) they’re breaking the spirit of their own software by shamelessly abusing admin powers, in turn helping to normalize that behavior to the Lemmy side of the FV.

    What’s the point of leaving oppressive, commercial social media only to run in to the same kinds of abuse of power on a supposedly transparent, user-run, P2P social network?
