  • A couple of issues, on Lemmy “block” isn’t block it’s barely a mute. The only way to get a true block, is to be site banned by an instance. This is likely the way dessalines wants it, because it’s quite ridiculous.

    And it doesn’t help retain new users who might not be clued in on needing to “block” them. Scaring away new users. It will only get worse, if everyone “in the know” block them, then who will be left to downvote and show resistance to their “viewpoints”?

    And it still allows misinformation “articles” to spread and fester via the network, causing harm. To users, to the rep of the Threadiverse and its growth.

    The only real answer is as wide a defederation as the rest of the triad is treated

















  • Code is code, open source is open source.

    Lemmy is coded to be a link aggregator type social media, there’s nothing inherently political about it.

    It’s the fact that they use their supposed “test instance” and their influence as the Lemmy developers to spread their “message” because they know that it’s going to be difficult for other instance admins to defederate from the “Dev instance” that’s the problem.

    And indeed that’s pretty much what’s playing out, most instances defederate from the first 2 of the triad fairly easily, but when it comes to the .ml instance admins are hesitant. Even though .ml allows much of the same crap, just “tempered” under the surface.



  • For all this AI BS we’re going through, why is there not one to actually automate budgeting. Of all the fucking apps they’re shoving down people’s throats, the one thing I’ve been waiting for still hasn’t come. Wtf.

    I really need it, anything that doesn’t automatically pull in transactions reliably, between multiple accounts and reconciles transactions between them (matching a 10.39 transaction on one of my privacy cards to the corresponding bank pull transaction) is just gonna fall apart for me in a matter of months. (At best)

    Envelopes, spreadsheets, YNAB, Quicken all have been tried, all got forgotten about -_-
