Not only that, but Meta is even claiming that they don’t have any former Twitter employees. Sounds like Musk is projecting. Either that, or he’s grasping at straws.

As long as that’s optional. I’d much rather know exactly which community I’m looking at.

I am super duper excited!

OP never said there could be a prize in Box A. There’s either a prize in Box B, or no prize at all. So there’s zero point in taking both boxes.

From a developer role, Lemmy is going to need to figure out a way to scale up development.

No they don’t. The platform is open source, so the more users they have, the more of those users will become contributors.

Agreed! Then it could be really like email! You create an account on an “account server”, we’ll call it, and then you can use that account to log into “community servers”. Instances wouldn’t need to federate content with each other, since users could just go to other instances with their account.

You’re seeing older posts from before it was defederated.

That would just make them go downhill further.

I got that vibe when I saw that they intentionally keep their rules vague, to make them harder to evade. That just sounded to me like a recipe for power tripping.

Why are people talking about this like this is a bug that can just be patched? I’m reading the comments in this thread, and it’s like everyone’s talking about a completely different thing. Am I crazy?

It’s obviously not a bug, unless you consider “there is no way to turn off auto updates” to be a bug. The GitHub link doesn’t mention anything about adding a toggle, though. It’s talking about fixing some kind of deadlock in the database that was causing the homepage to stop refreshing. That is the exact opposite of what OP is asking for!

How is that bug related to this issue? The problem OP is describing is that there’s a high volume of new posts, each of which causes the page to auto-update. That might have been OK when traffic was lower, but during high traffic it makes the site unusable, as it’s constantly pushing the post you were reading out of view. How will fixing the linked bug fix this issue?

I’d rather people not delete their content at all, tbh. Imagine all of the Google searches that would be borked by it.

Well, lemmy.ml still needs to serve you the content the first time in order to cache it. And since you’re the only person in your instance, you’re the only person benefiting from that cache. So you’re still exerting at least the same load as if you were browsing lemmy.ml directly.

That sounds like a huge oversight, if so.

I enjoy writing comments, but not so much making posts. Does this make me a “partial” lurker?
