Yes, now, anyway…
Refugee from another, less-friendly instance. Please forgive the youth of my account— I’ve actually been around here for a while. Still, glad to be here!
Yes, now, anyway…
I agree.
I grew up in the age of c/c++ and then Java. I get it: people hate it and it’s time to move on, but jeez, folx, chill. It will happen in time, and there’s no reason to go all civil warsy about it.
Things like this should not be rushed.
I was referring to the lemmy devs, but ok, I guess
Perhaps you should report this as a bug to the devs. Otherwise, this was an interesting read.
there’s plenty of that going on, too, just not on as large a scale.
Mastodon revolves around following topics and hashtags, not individuals. I learned that early on, and am having a much better experience.
I have an app where I can just type “+gpt <gpt prompt>” into any text field, so I have that already.
Seems slightly unfair to put that workload on the server.
The app is “MacGPT” and runs in the menu bar. I presume that such a useful utility almost certainly would exist for Linux, maybe on windows.
I wish there was one for jobs :(
There are GUI update facilities. They won’t need to use apt
I’ve installed Pop!_OS on many machines over the years, and my standard process is:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y apt-fast && sudo apt -y upgrade
sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
& a few other UI tweaking tools (obviously, this step will no longer exist soon)After that, it’s setting up/configuring whatever software that particular machine needs.
Edit: there’s probably a lot that I’ve skipped/missed, and a lot that others will do along their way through these steps. This is just a basic outline of some of my post-install processes (developed over time), and I hope this answers your question.
Also, you can google for post-install guides for Ubuntu and they’ll largely be applicable to PopOS since it’s based on Ubuntu.
the only one who can remove an admin is a more senior admin, and they can already see behind the “mod” alias.
your point seems moot
Actions have consequences
Well since all major lemmy instances seem to hide mod names in their logs, we don’t know who the banning mods are.
I hardly see what that would accomplish if we could.
I don’t think that person was saying that it was
As others have said, the only option available currently is to leave the instance and re-create your beloved communities elsewhere. The Lemmy.ml Admins also happen to be the ones actively developing the Lemmy code base, and they’re not gonna change because they feel entitled to do whatever they want, and technically, they can because they run the instance.
My best advice is to move on from the instance.
Only if it’s 25 years ago. Today? Never.
