Shoot yourself to own the libs.

Ok then?

lol they can run about 10 steps before slowing down

Install a floppy drive. No one gonna steal a computer with one of those.

I’ve added a type attribute:

It’ll be in the next release.

it should be the server’s job to tell the client what the post content is

That’s a good idea!

Yes there are good arguments to be made for either option. You do you, it’s fine. All this only affects the url, you can change the title and description of a community any time… 95% of people will find the community through a UI that abstracts away the url anyway.

Naah I can’t be policing the naming of communities, really. Seems a bit micro-managing, when it’s somewhat of a grey area.

So while I agree with Blaze I’m not going to enforce anything about it.

IMO politics is generally pretty nationally-focused and most of the time the significance of each turn of the worm is only really obvious to people in that country. e.g. I’m pretty up with the play on all the anglosphere politics but am incompetent when it comes to south african or indian or slovakian politics and that’s fine by me. There is some globally-significant politics news but maybe not enough to sustain a community on it. So a collapse into US politics news is probably inevitable.

How about we have two politics communities, one for US and one for everything else? i.e. Keep the existing one and just change it’s description and make a second one.

Also as Blaze said there are other PieFed instances. I’m a fan of [email protected] but feddit.online or piefed.zip are good homes too.

Such a great game. Huuuge time commitment tho.

Won’t even make a symbolic gesture. Spineless.

Guess where all that COVID stimulus money ended up.

I don’t see Musk on the manifest (Musk is in the diary entry on page 1), the two typed names are Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

The redacted names are probably victims.

Now that’s some a-grade hypocrisy right there.

Yes, and, if you were using piefed.social there would be a little red warning icon next to any post that links to the daily star, with a popup saying “Tabloid”.

There are communities for good news. e.g. [email protected]

Yes, you’re right. I didn’t fully think through all the implications.

Federation, it’s magic.

But yeah, this means Lemmy comments would never be boosted or highlighted because it wouldn’t be federating the new data. Bit of a problem!

So every comment would have a quote? lol

If clients want the get into an adversarial relationship with the project they’re piggybacking off, they will lose.

JavaScript. Attach a click handler event to the article link, save a cookie with the post id in it.

The proposed solution assumes a linear relationship between number of votes and number of comments. But depending on the post there might not be much to say. Especially with bad content.
