Twitter reminds me of the worst parts of the old “wild west” internet now. There’s still some good content, but it’s hidden among scams, skeezy porn ads, and some of the worst opinions you’ve ever read.

I feel pretty immune to that kind of stuff, but it’s a huge culture shock after browsing moderated social media.

Haha, you’re too kind. I’m just trying to do my part to help grow this place!

Originally saw this posted by The Picard Maneuver. I can’t figure out how to tag him on Voyager.

Don’t worry, I’m here too!

Also, I’ve mentioned it elsewhere, but might as well say here too: Anything I post to Lemmy (including stuff I’ve made) is totally fair game to post/repost/share anywhere you’d like. I love seeing content spread around the fediverse.

I’ve noticed that some people do use other filters than “Hot” or they scroll back in smaller communities, because I’ll occasionally get comment replies to posts I made months ago. It’s cool to see.

Does the Active feed work this way?

I remember you! I see posts all the time and notice “Ah, it’s that Sag fellow again”

Such a good video. I’ll listen to anything delivered in this old (transatlantic?) accent too.

Burning down some thatched-roof cottages in his honor today.

I think still yes, when a problem is abundantly clear, but borderline cases can more easily be left to individual preference.

I’ve noticed that too. I thought it was a different technology community popping up for a while.

They’re really good at finding ways to package great jokes that otherwise might catch some flak. In a small way, you can still feel some of Norm MacDonald’s influence there.

It’s the funniest thing they do every year.

That would be helpful. I have a Mastodon account that I’m pretty much just using to post my OC trek memes (plus some of my favorites from Risa), and being able to crosspost both ways would be nice.

Oh I see! That would be awesome.

I don’t really know how to navigate GitHub to see more detail, but how would this improve the cross-posting function that already exists?

I’ve used it a handful of times and it seems pretty straightforward.

For whatever anecdotal observations are worth, I’ve recently been seeing a huge uptick in activity from the userbase that is here. Maybe it’s been driven by posts like this one or memes about growing Lemmy, but people seem to be posting and commenting more than usual.

Is this arguably anticompetitive and illegal?
