I use "hide read posts" + "mark as read on scroll" - that way when I come back to /all the feed starts from where I left off already or I just need to refresh and it will remove the already-scrolled content.
Really good points. I believe lemmy devs are working on some tools that will help (not sure if it was already in 19.10. version where banning a user deletes the sent messages as well). I've got a few points I'd like to address:
Age restriction: I've bumped several times into "Nicoles" that have been sleeper accounts for quite some time unfortunately.
To register on sopuli you already need to write a small text that then needs to be evaluated by the admins; this is sometimes harder than I thought as some texts read like an AI had written it or is so generic that it could be copy-paste made for registering to multiple instances, but if such texts would be rejected, it would make registration experience for new users annoying and they might just give up with lemmy. Thankfully we haven't had too many sopuli spam accounts yet.
Unfortunately a lot of the spam comes from new instances that have open registrations without any checks. There are some tools for instance admins to use like fediseer IIRC, but it's a tough one.
I agree with you: at some point this is going to be a major problem and it feels like someone is just testing the grounds with nicole or maybe even trying to showcase the issues of fediverse with shitty and mean methods (since I don't think the spammer is really getting any money out of this, right now the average lemming is tech savvy it seems).
Edit: lemmy devs, not lemmy admins
Honestly I would for no amount of gold visit mistress' castle - we've seen that the least painful punishment you can get is to get vaporized by a Falcon that can blast a fire ray through its eyes
Yeah I fully understand that a small team can't support linux if most of the customers are on mac/windows.
I agree with everything you wrote - the same person I mentioned earlier is not a coder but would love to contribute in design (already does with language), but finds it very difficult.
The ecosystem could be similar to the translation tools for FOSS that are quite nice!
I've heard people praise and was excited adobe has a competitor. I know I'm not the target group for such apps but it still makes me sad that they don't support linux.
I know someone who really wants to switch fully to linux and stop dualbooting, but they can't due to professional software in their fields not being supported on linux :( hope this changes or that our beloved FOSS apps gain similar momentum as Blender.
Glad that you could find that info in time! And damn, that sucks.. Wonder what that is all about.. Weird. You should definitely make a post about this and ask as I don't think thats normal if you are not using a VPN or anything extra.
Must be really exciting for people who have been using it for a longer time! And I have heard that adobe products have gotten really slow. Thankfully I don't need them.
Come on OP, you are better than this. This is just a distasteful post.
I also remember blender was considered a hobbyist tool and in last couple of years it has been used more and more for hardcore professional stuff (note that I'm not in the field to know the specifics, might be for much longer).
Here's to hoping FreeCAD reaches similar status!
Indeed, Europe as a whole! (except Russia for obvious reasons. This is mentioned in the sidebar)
Did not know about Arne Anka, cool!
Would be cool to have that feature. In the meantime hope these two settings help :)
