Interestingly I quit using Voyager because the scrolling wasn't high frame rate, but maybe that was because I was using it on Firefox? Thunder is smooth for me.
Hasn't the Lemmy dev been working on it for like 3 years straight regardless of how many people were using it? Now that active users are at an all time high it seems unlikely that he would just drop it
The judge is just saying that what he was found liable for could be construed as rape as the word is commonly used even if it's not legally. Regardless of that, this article also makes the distinction that he is not convicted of anything due to it being a civil trial and not a criminal one. Saying he is a convicted rapist is still not correct.
This is absolutely not true... The death penalty is not on the table for any of the charges against Trump. The only charges in the US that carry the possibility of the death penalty are: murder, treason, genocide, or kidnapping of certain politicians. He has NOT be charged with anything near that.
This is factually inaccurate. I'll agree he is likely a rapist, but he was never convicted of rape. He was found liable for sexual abuse in a civil trial, but he was explicitly found not liable for rape in the E. Jean Carroll case.
This is in no way a defense is Trump, but those words have a specific legal meaning, and I think there are a million other ways to call Trump that are actually accurate.
Well it makes sense when referring to the company because they own a bunch of popular brands like Instagram, WhatsApp, etc. Twitter just has Twitter so it doesn't matter as much.
Where did he say it's not an imminent threat? All he's saying is that it's not extinction level and the worst outcomes are not yet inevitable, which are both true statements. I do actually see a lot of climate apathy around and focusing on solutions and policy rather than doomerism seems like a good thing to me.
Also shout out Climate Town on YouTube for good solutions-focused and entertaining climate videos!
To continue the analogy, if nobody understands how to purchase from your store or even what the store is, you're not going to stay in business. That's why I think Lemmy needs to bring the UI/UX up to industry design standards and simplify a LOT.
The abundance of controls and information is nice for power users, but it scares away the newbies who already think Lemmy is too complicated. Go to any other major social media site and check out how they bury/simplify/remove choices from users to not overload them. Don't get me wrong, I think the UIs that provide all that info should definitely exist (think RES) but should not be the default.
The other thing is the sign up process: join-lemmy.org is what people have be telling folks to look at if they want to join, and it immediately gets into the nitty gritty of tech specs and servers and other things that the average Joe doesn't know about and may get intimidated by.
This has been my nearly universal feedback when telling non-techie people about Lemmy. I know I may get pilloried for saying it since there is a lot of hate for big social media companies on here, but a lot of what they do works and I think we can copy some of that without losing the magic of federated social media & opposition to big corporations.
join-lemmy.org needs some serious work if it's really what people are going to link when others ask about it; it's really no wonder that we've mostly only amassed technical folks. I also think the default UI/UX could use a lot of work to bring it up to standards with other modern social sites. I wish that would be a priority for the devs, but I know they only have so much time to devote to things
I have been doing this where appropriate, but always run up against people telling me it's too complicated and it'll never work because nobody can understand it. I think usability for the less technically minded people is huge and should be a priority before any widespread adoption will be able to take place.
Somewhat off topic, but what app are former Joey users using for Lemmy? I loved the compact mode in Joey and Thunder is the one I like the most so far, but it's still missing a few bits of info
This is what I see as the true value of these "protest" messages above just "more user engagement" since it seems like more eyes on negative press does more damage than the plus of "a few more users interacted with our site for a few days"
