Tradeoffs.
If we want the flexibility of not being beholden to a monolith of mods like reddit, then we have to accept the consequence that anyone can create a community anywhere.
It's not hard to search the fediverse, just takes effort to filter. In fact, the great overwhelming volume we get from it is testament to how much better this is than reddit.
Seems to me you're tilting at windmills.
Couldn't we do collections within an app on a per-user basis?
Like I could create a collection of different communities that I see as having some commonality, then it's only a view for me.
But I'm no dev, so take that into consideration.
The news communities are just terrible. I keep having to just block anything with "news" in it
Hopefully we see it mature this way, and eventually we some primary communities (per subject), with some smaller communities, and the tiny ones just being subsumed by the others.
I think the idea was to get some data into lemmy, to seed it from reddit. Seems to have run its course.
The communist pejorative has been dead for... Decades and decades. Like 4, at least. By the 80's it had lost its charm, and young adults would roll their eyes when gramps used it.
There are plenty of other similar, (now-meaningless) pejoratives tossed about all the time. It's old and tiresome to hear/see.
I've searched before, do you know why "tankie"? I can't get a good etymology on it, like how it would reference single-party communist states?
Edit: hmm, Guess I missed the Wikipedia entry on it, though I could swear I'd read it before. Thanks Habiscus!
Let the arseholes bring their ideas into the light, so we know who they are and what they think.
Suppression is just a bad idea, and your naivete is terrifying.
Wow, that's some of the most concrete, down-to-earth explanation of what everyone is calling AI. Thanks.
I'm technical, but haven't found a good article explaining today's AI in a way I can grasp well enough to help my non-technical friends and family. Any recommendations? Maybe something you've written?
Yep. When my infinity app stopped working a couple days ago I said I'm done.
Now if I want something from reddit I just let my search engine find the post I need. Then save it to OneNote (lots of Android, Pi, Windows stuff)
