wonder how ROLLBACK would work

what're you gonna do, have PCM without flairs??

I'd prefer just not having PCM. at all. flairs or not

DNS blocking is the most unreliable way of blocking youtube ads you can imagine.
you could write a script to OCR your entire screen and click skip ad and it'd be more reliable than DNS blocking

just draw the rest of the owl

idea: cover post-transition nipple with pre-transition nipple

ActivityPub wise this could be modeled pretty cleanly as (what Mastodon calls) boosts. Or perhaps quote boosts as implemented by every software except upstream Mastodon (including Mastodon forks like Treehouse or Fedibird), if different comment threads are needed.

Hell, let's make cross posts work like that.

Anyway, I just wanted to give an alternate viewpoint to those which are suggesting that people became mods as a power trip or whatever. That’s certainly not the case for me - ideally, I don’t even particularly want to be a mod, but I did want the communities to have a foothold for people arriving to Lemmy with no idea what to expect.

There's a big difference between creating 2 communities and creating 20.

honestly even if .world had 100% uptime i'd still recommend spreading out to smaller instances. it's a single point of failure for the entire network (or at least the parts of the network as seen by lemmy/kbin). bus factor and all

i personally hope that over time as the tooling improves (and as "turnkey" hosters like masto.host adopt lemmy), more topic-specific instances get started up. think of startrek.website or programming.dev or slrpnk or rblind or literature.cafe or all the country instances. and general purpose instances like .world and lemm.ee and sijw and what have you can be for smaller communities that don't have the resources, or they can be used as "account holder" instances that have people but "outsource" the communities to their own respective instances to keep their own costs down.

everyone piling up on .world is hurting the entire network. (even worse when they create communities and those communities also pile up on .world) and it's sad to see the .world admins refuse to acknowledge this and handwave it behind "well we're still smaller than mastodon.social /shrug" (and yes i have complaints about eugen's handling of mastodon.social/.online too)

i certainly am not okay

(though i don't think it's because i'm straight)
