Hmm, interesting. Where are you from?

I can’t manage to make Kate look half descent on Mint (Cinnamon). It does look great on Plasma

I am aware of this one, but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I think I’ll start using Kate, and contribute whatever features I’m missing if I can.

Exactly. I’m a mod in a few subreddits, the biggest of which is /r/Showerthoughts. People don’t notice our existence unless we interact with them directly, and you rarely interact with users unless to ban them or to remove their content. So it is expected to be hated.

I’m neither American, European, Russian, nor Chinese, and have no clear vested interest in any if them. Seeing how Americans view China as the “big evil” from the outside is just mind-boggling. Most of the bad stuff you think China did, they didn’t. Some of the terrible stuff they did, the US did as well. They do have a bad side that the US doesn’t have, but the US does some things worse than China.

Now its easy for the naive to just reply “whataboutism” to my comment and move on. But what I’m trying to say is that the world isn’t black and white. The US isn’t the “good guys”, no one is. Take a look at some communities on Lemmygrad. You might change some of your views.

It is common in the middle east, with some leeway. Like if someone is sitting diagonal to you such that your foot isn’t directly facing them, it’s okay. Unless its a professional meeting, then having your foot up is just disrespectful, but I imagine that goes for most countries.

Counting Android is just lying. ChromeOS and WSL are a stretch, but you can make an argument for them.

It’s been a while since I used Jerboa. Will give it a try. Thanks to all contributers.

Check the post date.

I posted this 2 years ago.

Yeah I posted this 2 years ago. The way “Active” sorting works in Lemmy, is you see the posts with recent comments. Someone commented on this, pushing it back to the front page.

HackerNews has an interesting approach: You can’t downvote comments unless you reach a certain amount of “Karma”, and you can’t downvote posts at all, you can “flag” them, meaning you think they don’t belong here. Flagging doesn’t affect the vote count, but massive flagging does make the post appear lower in the feed, and alerts mods.

This, alongside the tight moderation and zero-tolerance towards flame wars in the comments makes HackerNews one of the best places on the internet imho.

Same. For me, upvote = adding something to the conversation. That’s why I upvote most comments I come across, and rarely downvote people.

If you’re still having issues with apps, try wefwef.app. I have no complaints since I started using it.

Though if Twitter goes under, I’m sure Facebook will have a hard time explaining why they aren’t a monopoly. That has been taken seriously before.

I mean sure posts about Reddit makes us seem like the bitter ex, but they are to be expected, since it’s the only thing all Lemmy users have in common: Being ex-Redditors. It will stop naturally with time.

RiF still works, but without logging in. NSFW used to work up until yesterday. A couple of third-party apps still have complete access as well.

Comparing iPhone to “Android” isn’t fair, because people conveniently compare it to the lowest end. Compare the iPhone 14 Pro Max to the S23 Ultra for example, a phone from a respected company at the same price range. And it isn’t “luck”. Just a quick Google search will give you the high-end Android devices currently.

I mean Lemmy kinda servers the same purpose, and the way comment threads work us way better than Facebook. What features are you missing?

Be the change you want to see in the world. Be active on !godot@lemmy.ml, and more people will hopefully come.
