I use the XFCE version, it’s around 400 MB idle, fluxbox should be even less I think.

Good job!

I work for a big enterprise, we have RHEL on all our Linux servers save for a few that are SuSe for SAP.

I see 4, none appear as removed.

You don’t know what an NDA is lol, NDA = Non Disclosure Agreement, it’s very specifically tied to the things they’re revealing to you, Threads NDA means you can’t talk about what they’re telling you about Threads in that specific meeting, it has NOTHING to do with Lemmy.

Having admins knowing what they’re planning isn’t bad IMO, they more you know, the better you can counteract them.

I fully agree with you, karma “whoring” is a serious problem on reddit, awards could lead to the same behavior here if implemented.

Donations are the best way to support the platform, if you want to be “visible” as donator, opencollective allows you to post a message about it, there’s also a sort of top donators page, that’s more than enough in my opinion.

Oh no :( I missed that, did they say why?

Content is just content, it’s links, it’s media, whatever

Content is not all the same, there’s quality content and there’s shitposting.

“facebook content” is mostly - to me - shitposting, astroturfing, botting, propaganda, etc. as reddit has become lately, while lemmy content is mostly quality discussions.

I don’t want shitposting burying quality content here, that’s what will happen if we don’t do anything about it.

Not to mention corporate control, look what happened to reddit, and look at how many scandals there are about faceboook (now meta) as a company, why do you think they want to join the fediverse, they don’t give a crap about quality, their only interest is in monetizing stuff, embrace - extend - extinguish, I don’t want ANY of that happening to lemmy.

Innocent until proven otherwise.

There are many years of proof already about facebook/meta acting very maliciously, actively breaking laws and being fined for it, is that not proof enough? How many more do you need before you can say they’re not innocent at all?

If I wanted to see facebook shit I would use facebook, I stopped using whatsapp when it was bought by facebook, I don’t want to see their content overwhelming the fediverse, that’s why I’m here instead of there.

Fantastic news! Can we please do the same on lemmy.world? Please?

That always happens when a new platform is born.

Tech/nerds are always the ones moving first because they don’t mind the quirks, they’re not scared of bugs or instabilities.

They start building up communities until the platform is ready for the rest of the people, it was the same for reddit, tho it happened so many years ago the new people wouldn’t even know about it.

It’s also one of the very few that’s been pretty accurate about it, I’m impressed.

It’s most probably IBM forcing it, but yeah it’s dumb.

You can also add your personal text in a text box when you create link posts, another thing you can’t do in reddit.

I believe it’s a bait.

Over at r/ModCoord they say they held a private call with some developers, none of the 3rd party apps devs were invited apparently.

There’s a sticky post containing full notes of the call (I don’t know if it’s ok to link reddit here so I won’t), their promises are really vague, “promising” to let some apps use the API for free is only one of them, they’re offering to postpone the API changes if mods don’t close the subs, and they’re making a lot of excuses for their very lacking tools, “promising” they’ll do better this time.

If we consider they’re going public later this year, it makes sense they’re trying to damage control as much as possible so the protest doesn’t ruin their IPO, while actually having no intention to follow up on their words.

If magazines start picking up on their empty words, like the article you linked, it could appear redditors are protesting for nothing, that would be really sad.
