Ah okay
Ah okay
Enumerating every user to get the vote count on every single post/comment seems too computationally expensive.
Because then people can vote an unlimited number of times.
There needs to be some sort of identifier
Ayyyyy
The fact that this platform is developed by transphobes is a big FUCKING deal
Not really. Usually the issue is the platform devs also control the instances/servers but that isn’t the case here.
The code isn’t transphobic. The code is code. We shouldn’t reject perfectly good code because we don’t like who wrote it. That’s just giving the software solely to the people who do to the detriment of everyone else.
Because he’s the developer. He can easily change a line of code to exploit users and servers across the fediverse.
This can be done by anyone, and applies to any platform. It’s not a problem unique to Lemmy.
I also don’t see how transphobia and backdooring everyone are at all related.
18 here
I mean, it’s not on their server. It’s hosted on dbzer0.
This is exactly what it does. It steals code and does not abide by it’s license.
Often it also removes or changes the license/attribution.
Even fsf.org looks better on mobile, and I’m certain the design is quite outdated by now.
But do they ignore existing implementations of a feature when they want to add that feature? And make it crappier when federated?
“Foam mouthed Threads opponents”
Threads is quite blatantly just going to throw it’s weight around. It’s not in good faith. They’re already not going to properly implement ActivityPub (which they apparently would do, according to pro-Threads federation people), and so certain content will appear different on Threads and AP. And of course threads is massive already as if you have an Instagram account you have a Threads account.
Smaller services and services which aren’t megacorps are fine. Honestly, BlueSky federation seems like a good thing to me. But we’ll have to see about that.
My point is there’s a line between “federate to get more exposure and connections” and “federate to get EEE’d”. Threads crosses that line. BlueSky I don’t know about. They’re very different scenarios.

Why are people calling it “threadiverse”???
I’ve seen this quite a lot recently, and I don’t get it. It’s the fediverse, isn’t it? This name sounds like it comes from Facebook’s thing…
And it will still connect to Lemmy, since we all use the ActivityPub protocol?
What is your point, exactly?
Ask your instance to defederate from them.
Do you want Facebook to do to us what Google did to XMPP???
Embrace, extend, extinguish.
