Yeah, it felt a lot like “you need to prove you’re worthy” more than just proving you’re not a bot.

Adding to what others have said, opposing viewpoints are GOOD. Well reasoned opinions should be encouraged. I don’t want to end up in another curated echo chamber built by someone else. Add the tools for users to block an instance and for blocks to work better in general. Give us the tools to decide our content. Leave the curation up to the users.

Otherwise you’ll just end up with everyone spinning up their own instance and building a million individual echo chambers(tho it wouldn’t be bad if there were more instances lol)

Add the fact that lemmy.ml and others were/still are doing applications for sign up instead of an automated system. I applied twice for a .ml account and never got a single response, not even a denial or “your application is being processed”. I have no idea if my application was ever even seen.

On the other hand, I signed up to lemmy.world and kbin.social in minutes and have been using them ever since.

No worries. In case that came off overly critical, please know I just want you to shine. Not accusing you of anything. Just want your unique self to show through. That’s part of the beauty of an indie project; it’s not the same corporate stuff.

I can’t be the only one thinking that your image looks like a knockoff of “Star Wars: Rogue One”. Same font, same alignment of words… Make the game YOUR game. Don’t rely on familiarity with other brands to draw people in. They’ll be disappointed when it’s NOT a Star Wars game and you also open yourself up to legal issues from Disney, who owns the star wars brand.

No problem. I walk ~14 miles a day at work and they hold up nicely. I put some Superfeet insoles in them when I buy them. Here’s a pic of the old ones with ~18 months/4000 miles on them next to the same pair brand new. The old ones are still in working condition and have no real issues other than the cosmetic wear. Just wanted to get a new pair lol

Bought mine around 2020 and they lasted maybe 9 months before holes were forming in the toe area.

Bought Keens next and haven’t had any issues. Last pair I put 4000 miles on them and the rubber covering the steel toe had worn a nickel sized hole, but otherwise they were still in great shape and fully functional.

I caught the joke :) I mentioned playing devils advocate cus I don’t want to actually attack you or anything, I just saw an interesting opposing viewpoint that I hadn’t heard expressed yet. I think your closer to the best solution in general tho

I agree with the above convo you’ve been having, but your comment made me think, so I’ll play a little devils advocate here: do we want 1000 “I agree.” comments following each other comment? Not really. There needs to be a simple way to say “I like this but don’t have anything to add”. An upvote accomplishes this.

As for downvotes, yes they need to be more than “I disagree”. Something akin to “I don’t think this contributes”. I liked someone’s suggestion that we need more than the binary up and down. Maybe a “troll” vote too.

Yeah, but people move on too. Do you expect every single person who ever contributed to repost their content when a migration happens? Of course not. It’s just not realistic. But actual info gets lost. Old game faqs vanish. Answers to niche questions poof out of existence. Yes, the world isn’t over and things will move on. But actual, tangible value was lost with the death of reddit. A large portion of the internets “How To” guide just went up in flames. And a lot of that won’t ever get rebuilt. Many of us who have been around long enough have also seen that dark side to these things.

It’s a shame, is all. But time keeps moving and so will we.

How is that any different than reddit with all the r/X, r/TrueX, r/AltX, r/X2 subs? Whether they’re distributed amongst one instance or many, it’s functionally the same. Just like we already aggregate content from numerous sources, the fediverse also aggregates the communities too.

I’m subscribed to many communities/magazines in a variety of instances. And many of those I found through word of mouth on here or just by browsing “Hot”. They weren’t hard to find. I honestly don’t see the problem. It’s supposed to be splintered so no central authority has control. That’s the whole point.

That said, don’t just call people out who downvote you. No one owes you an explanation if they thought your post was bad. I’ve already seen it once and it was pretty childish.

Honestly, good. People shouldn’t be picking based on quantity, but quality.

I love it as well. It’s great to see the insanity before I switch to my subscribed feed lol. People complaining just need to learn how to manage their feed and enjoy the beans.

He created a special jailbait trophy. It’s not exaggerated. Yes, he’s was added when you could do that. He then proceeded to ACTIVELY participate, and again, made a custom, one of a kind jailbait trophy for the head mod there.

I actually think some technological hurdle is a good thing. If it’s a little difficult to join, that will act as its own filter to keep the laziest and lowest effort people away.

No problem; glad it helped 🙂

Exactly this. I tried numerous times on lemmy.ml and never got an email back for the verification, so I just gave up. World is the next logical choice. Since beehaw is already defederating, if you’re coming to the fediverse, joining an instance that’s already isolating itself, even if it has good reasons, doesn’t seem appealing. So lemmy.world it is. Tho here I am using my kbin mostly because then I have kbin, mastodon, and Lemmy integration all in one.

You ABSOLUTELY can criticize it as an airplane. It’s a vehicle that flys. And as a VTOL, it doesn’t have much if any of a glide coefficient like deaconblue said. Which is extremely relevant if power goes out and instead of being able to glide to safety, it just falls like a rock on whatever is below. Saying “its a VTOL, so it doesn’t matter” puts you on the same safety standards as that submarine guy.

In the drop down menu in your mobile browser, there should be a “install as app” choice. That does exactly what your code does.
