    I’m a big fan of the Fediverse and Lemmy in particular. Thanks to the Fediverse, but mostly Lemmy, I was able to build my home lab and now when I walk around my house, the lights come on by themselves. I love the conversions I get into. I love the open nature of Lemmy and how you can look at the repositories and watch how it grows.

    There’s definitely things that can be better and I’m happy to be on the train.

    My only true desire is to see more people and communities distributed across more instances.








  • Your frustration is palpable and that’s disappointing. Lemmy has improved a lot since we all arrived while the software experience is a lot smoother, admins have been clamouring for moderation tools the whole time. Ultimately there needs to be more contribution to do everything that everyone wants, but moderation needs to be a higher priority for sure.

    I will say this though. I know you dislike developers discussing, disagreeing or even arguing, but I actually think it’s nice to see things in the open.

    Whether you find happiness here or elsewhere in the fediverse, I wish you the best of success and not just because you host one of my communities 😂

    Honestly, I’m inebriated and so I have no doubt that I could’ve been a lot more fluffy in my approach. I also see at least one spelling mistake, so that’s double bubble bad by me.

    Since you’re not OP, I can be unabashedly honest. Anyone that has been around open-source software knows that bug reporters are as unappreciated as they come, despite being a vital cog in the system, but holy hell, there’s no stamp card, you don’t say I submitted ten ideas, crown me king.

    There’s literally a monthly Q&A where the OP could have a broader discussion about priorities and direction. There’s also a whole Github repository just for discussing ideas and direction, it’s the RFC one.

    Anyway, I’m going back to enjoying my Saturday night.

    Everything on the left (except Tux) is terrible today and that’s fine, things evolve. It would be fun to see modern versions of each of those logos though.

    I was so in love with Pidgin for a while that I even made a mock-up for how to improve it. I think I still have blog posts up about it.

    I think the adoption everyone is looking for on desktop is deceptive. The type of people that run Linux on desktop are averse to Telemetry and so desktop Linux will report much smaller numbers anyway. Consequently, everyone is hoping for Linux to become the standard in the professional space and there, it’s back to application support and the big one, compatibility. It’s all good if everyone in an office is using Linux, but they need to interact with the outside world, and if the outside world can’t read what they send, then it’s not even worth considering switching.
