  • Screw community names, I want instance agnostic URLs for posts and comments.

    Right now lemmy.ml/comment/123456 and lemmy.ml/comment/123456 are two different comments, and there is no simple way to find one comment on another instance (so you can interact with it from your logged in account). What we should have is lemmy.ml/comment/123456@lemmy.world to point to a comment made on another instance, then you can just change the instance name after the @ to find the comment (or post) on any other instance.

    I like to give it slightly wrong answers first, then right answers on the second attempt. Because they’re blatantly using it to train AI (for free, without paying users for their work), I want to poison the data. The first one tells it that it’s guess is wrong, the second one proves I know what I’m talking about - if you do everything wrong it will just discard your training data.




  • Relay was my go to app also, something about the flow of the app UI always appealed to me more than any other apps. So much so, I continued using it even after I found the paid app included trackers (these can be blocked with Warden, a rare app scanner you can find on github).

    However even if I wanted to stay on reddit I don’t think I’d pay a monthly subscription.

    Reddit really should be paying users, not the other way around. They steal our data for free and seek to profit from it.

    The CEO is an absolute bastard. He’s twisted the words of his “friend” Aaron Swartz, the real founder of the site, and bastardised his creation while trashing his legacy.

    The blackout isn’t pointless, it’s just not yet enough. Reddit needs to die, and the blackout is a step towards that. It started as a way to try and get admin to change, and in that respect it has and will fail, but it is the first step to reddit going the way of digg.
