Sorry I dont remember, but it sounds similar to the limitations for new accounts which discourse has.
Which specific limits would you apply on lemmy.ml, and for whom?
Bath houses or swimming pools surely run Linux in some places. I have to figure out what they run in my city, if its Windows I will boycott them.
Say no to proprietary baths! Mine runs arch linux btw
Does anyone know how the alternatives are ranked? There are multiple which have more likes than Lemmy, but are listed lower.
Correct. Lemmy and most other fediverse software are licensed under AGPL, which states among other things that anyone can use the software for any purpose. Obviously its in much more complicated, legal terms. We can only set the rules on lemmy.ml and other spaces we control (eg github issues, joinlemmy site).
For example, there was a lot of drama about Gab, but no one could prevent them from using the Mastodon code (at least not in legal terms).
The answers were all written by dessalines. The definition of "to embrace" in this context is "to take up especially readily or gladly". Our position on that wont change and also applies to Lemmy in general. But realistically there is not much we can do to prevent anyone from using Lemmy, as its open source.
Also curious to see how federation will perform.
Federation is already working perfectly well. Except for a few minor features, everything works seamlessly across different instances.
I really like how you wrote the background story. Maybe we could integrate that into the joinlemmy page in some way?
Osmand is great, especially for hiking its better than google maps. Only disadvantage is that it has almost no businesses listed.
First of all, thanks for making this thread, I think it is important to discuss these issues in the open, rather than developing grudges.
I think what you are mainly talking about are the comments by @Nevar@lemmy.ml and @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml which are relatively aggressive. We could probably consider them violations against rule 2 ("Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here"), which we havent enforced that much so far. So enforcing that rule more strictly could already be a step in the right direction, though I am unsure where to draw the line (suggestions welcome).
That said, I think it is important to allow everyone to voice their opinion, especially if they disagree. If everyone agrees from the start, that doesnt make for an interesting discussion. This is also why I dislike the idea of fact checkers, because it likely means that one side gets excluded from the discussion, and Lemmy turns into an echo-chamber.
On the technical side, we are working on a feature that will let users block communities (so you dont see their posts anymore). That should be useful for people who simply dont care about politics (or other topics).
Ah thanks. Unfortunately @dessalines@lemmy.ml says that he is strictly against this.
