I migrated over to writefreely, here’s the new link. https://my.jewy.blog/my-love-hate-relationship-with-lemmy

As well, I should highlight the project jgrim was desiring to do was an external mod tooling system for lemmy. Not something within lemmy itself.

It especially leads to harassment of vulnerable people. There’s many aspects of moderation that is done here that if implemented in other fediverse software would become a vector for Kiwifarms level harassment.

The thing is, sublinks lead developer tried to work with development team of lemmy. It was like pulling teeth constantly and his experience was overall negative.

I deleted the activitypub plugin because of how wonky it is, try again and let me know if you have any issue now

Interesting. I might have to remove the activitypub plugin regardless then.

It can become a source of targeted harassment, as it has on the rest of the fediverse before.

I couldn’t find their pronouns listed anywhere, but it was my bad to assume regardless. Fixed it, my apologies.

I will migrate it to sublinks as soon as I can.

It might be an issue with the activitypub plugin, https://jewy.blog/b/1T try this shortlink version instead

Honestly coming here and starting my own instance and providing help for other instances and stuff has reignited my long lost love of computers and open source stuff. The passion for it is thankfully coming back.

The only thing I really have to add is on the topic of toxicity. Like you, I’m an instance admin and have a bird’s eye view of a lot of behavior patterns. I’ve recently started wondering how many people are here because they’re too toxic for regular social media rather than because they want to be here. I won’t guess an actual number, but I would say it’s not insignificant.

That’s unfortunately a big issue with alternative social media platforms and without tools to combat them it goes bad really bad. I agree completely.

Ding dong the witch is dead

Knitting my own garments (sweaters, scarfs, etc) has made me appreciate how long it really takes to make actually good clothing that’s meant to last. Thankfully more and more people are getting on board with the idea of “slow fashion”, with a significant amount of younger people especially during the pandemic picking up knitting and crochet as well as seeing more of the value it possesses than before.

It hurts itself in confusion

It’s only just begun. That’s what they said about Xitter ages ago as well, but if it can get worse it absolutely fucking will

It makes me so sad. As a certified short king it makes me sad that I’m gonna have to deal with the annoyance of giant phones in my little baby hands again sooner rather than later as it’s no longer supported…

Holy shit, teacher suicides? What the fuck

Uh. Let’s not use the f slur shall we?

Wow! Who knew when you kick your volunteer mods who curate content for you for free to the curb that overall quality would decrease?
