Do you have a public git for this?

on a related note, hosting images on your server for users on other servers, eats up a lot of resources too. I know some instances have stopped allowing saving of images.

Implement ActivityPub, or I I suppose another protocol like Nostr, Ostatus, pump.io, or Diaspora*, and join the fediverse. Preferably publishing their code under the AGPL, but even if they kept it as non-free software I'd still probably get back on. I suppose if they did end-to-end security truly decentralized, like Scuttlebutt or Status, I'd do that too.

I'm not certain who would be willing to take the risk to host an instance that includes /c/gonewildcurvy or /m/gonewild though gonewildstories probably has less of a chance you'd endup in a cage because of what someone else posted that lived on your server.

actually it came from when the USSR sent tanks to Hungary to keep down a workets revolution against the Soviet backed regime in the mid-twentieth century. Origanally it was used as a description for divisions in the British communist party between those who felt a global [Soviet backed] communist plan, versus those who supported independent worker collectives democratically deciding their own direction.

I may have a user bias, but I think KBin is already started down that path, of actually making a usuable platform for both communities and users. Unlike say Lemmy that doesn't even really let you follow individual users, and Mastodon, which lets you follow Lemmy Communities, but its hard to follow threads because every post just looks like a Re-Toot by the community "user"

Then again Friendica is pretty nice too, it treats Lemmy communities just as if they are Friendica Forums, and it supports other platforms in addition to ActivityPub, including Diaspora*, and allows for integration with Email, Calendar, etc. with several very different "themes" to choose from, with the default, Firo(?), being a UI ver similar to the world's most popular social media platform, Facebook.

then again, if your phone has "safari browser" you probably are unable to be reasoned with anyway.

I have two degrees in music theory and a masters in English

Oh you poor baby. You remind me of my college roommate junior year, everyone knew he was gay except him.

how can one enjoy working close source? You are welcome to keep your devlopment private, rather than putting it on an open source development protal like GitHub, and just release it under the GPL so the rest of us can learn from your work, without you having to put up with annoying "developers" on the internet.

WTF said anything about wanting gun control?

now this is some #truth. And that's #WhatsUp

When I was in college I learned I liked the idea of coding a lot more than I liked coding. Now I know just enough C++ to be able to translate dev speak into corporates speak and back, can claim to be an engineer, and get to talk to stupid people, who think they are smart, who think that I'm really smart, and I spend more of my day on social media. I had one job that in the six months I was there I think I actually did MAYBE 40 hours of work. If it wasn't for "business conditions related to COVID-19" I'd probably still work there, though I'm making more, and working somewhat more, now.

welcome to the Midwestern United States. both of those are common, and like they said, 0 means it's too cold to play outside and 100 means it's too hot to play outside, other than that you're good to go.

no you shouldn't. Outside of leftist circles it has no meaning.

Many fedizens refer to lemmygrad.ml as a tankie instance, for example.

Now-a-days it is used to describe anyone who supports leftists authoritarian regimes, whether it be China, or people who act like Russia is secretly Communists, etc. Or just an insult from one leftist against anothet leftist. Like one U.S. southerner insulting another by calling him a liberal.

if they do, you can just folow them for here right? Or does lemmy.world have less features than kbin.social?

You'll see the most on the original community's instance, but even that won't show everything due to how activity Pub works and some platforms allowing "anonymous follow" and the like. #privacy
