  • I got logged off a bit too often and had some issues with pixels not placing when I had an active overlay (whether it was a template or the grid), was that common/being looked into or was it just me? (Using Safari from mobile).

    Other than that though, I had definitely less issues than the past years, and it was definitely a good time as always. Canvas size was perfect imo, unless the fediverse has significant growth by then (which god I hope it does), next year I’d suggest making it 500x500 again, or at most 600x600. I’d also prefer if it was in Fall or Winter instead, but that’s just my preference.

    Either way, thanks for this year too!


  • That was definitely a read, props.

    I also want to mention how I was reading this pretty nonchalantly and then “We have been shipped, had more and less ranchy fanfic written about us” nearly gave me a drink-spitting whiplash. Never change, internet.









  • Eh, just the fact that a modlog exists (and that you can effectively see which moderator performed the action through filtering by moderator) is something I’ve never seen in any other online platform, the lack of a notification could not even be intentional (there’s even an open issue in GitHub by dessalines himself).

    I’m glad the PieFed devs put the matter in their own hands since, as I said, it’s not a huge issue for me but I can understand why it would be for others.

    (As in, I can understand why people would move to PieFed, Mbin, or any other fediverse alternative. I’m seriously confused at people who don’t like Lemmy for being too authoritarian-adjacent and move back to freaking Reddit)

    Some users don’t want to support a project that’s being developed by people they don’t like.

    It’s kind of how some people left Reddit because of Spez, even though the amount of money Lemmy devs make doesn’t remotely compare, and the risk of enshittification/powertripping is minimal due to the whole project being open source.

    I personally don’t see it as a huge issue, but I can see why it would be for someone (and I’d definitely see it differently if I was actively supporting the platform through donations).

    Even assuming Biden actually deported legal immigrants like Trump is doing (which I haven’t found any proof of anywhere), just the simple fact that they were identifiable meant that we wouldn’t have the copycat phenomenon of people pretending to be ICE doing robberies and kidnappings in broad daylight. That’s already harm reduction.

    And anyways no, I still don’t believe that documented and legal immigrants without a criminal record were being deported under Biden and the “clarity” was the only difference. That’s a big claim to make without a source.

    Are you really trying to argue that what’s happening now was already happening under Biden? That ICE was already pulling up in unmarked vans and disappearing people with no criminal records, but people were fine with it “because blue team”?

    Come on.
