  • The main factor is discoverability.

    There are no shortage of creative or funny people on Mastodon, however, Mastodon's feed algorithm do not allow them to be discovered unless you happen to stumble upon them by happenstance, whereas it is quite easy to be seen on Lemmy by posting good content: it's rare when I don't get any upvotes or downvotes on a comment here, and good replies are fairly common, so the interaction quality here is generally higher.

  • Thank you.

    Also, that's esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie to you!

  • You know, it seems very unlikely that a Linux distribution would have their official support account on Tumblr of all places.

    I don't know about you, but I'm beginning to think that these are actually gimmick accounts that are impersonating official accounts for an Internet comedy bit.

  • Well, duh, to make a dry martini, you are suppose to dry all the liquid ingredients in a tumble dryer first before you mix them, of course.

    Why else do you think James Bond always asks for his "dry" vodka martini to be "shaken, not stirred"?

  • That's true only in a few states in the US, and at least in California, not all notaries can do this.

  • You got me!

    To make up for it, can I have your autograph on a receipt for at least like 20 copies of "Barbie" on collector's edition Blu-ray? I'm a big fan.

  • Or perhaps she's disappointed you didn't even make the effort to know that a marriage certificate has to be signed at the county clerk's office instead of on the red carpet to be valid?

  • There sure are a lot of Australian actresses hiding in plain sight nowadays...

  • I like how snappy it is.

    Have you talked with the main Lemmy devs about maybe adopting this as a full replacement for the current lemmy-ui when it gets more feature complete but before the Leptos frontend is done?

  • Rule

  • Exactly.

  • Gabe, KiwiFarm started from the forum section of CWC Wiki (in fact, the name KiwiFarms itself is a corruption of "CWC Wiki Forums"), which was hosted on MediaWiki, so "not letting KiwiFarms host their own wiki" is a ship that has long since sailed.

    I really fail to see how this has more abuse potential than hosting an independent wiki on MediaWiki, even if the content they host there is... not very nice, to say the least. If anything, there is more control against abuse since they would just be defederated.

  • Of course I am.

    Would esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress (and producer) Margot Robbie ever lie to you on the internet?

  • Those darn celebrities, always ruining people's fun on social media.

    I wonder when one of them is going to show up on Lemmy...

  • I've always imagined that they sound like angry chickens or geese.

  • Totally fine, and I didn't mean to impose, because at the end of the day, I'm just a normal user who shitposts and make dumb jokes here and there.

  • "Mate" is always a good option, I wish it's used more universally in the States, too.

  • I don't know, he looks like a guy who is a little bit too into horses.

  • Speak for yourself, I thought I might meet at least a couple of cool spies, but all I got are weirdos asking for feet pics. 😒

  • Gabe, a couple of weeks ago, nutomic was asking for ideas on a name for his federated wiki alternative project, I put forth my suggestion that I thought was better (also because I didn't want it to be named after the bin chicken), but he told me, pretty bluntly in fact, that he is sticking with his original choice.

    Am I bummed about it? Of course.

    But it would be silly of me if I kept pestering him because he didn't do exactly what I want, because at the end of the day, he doesn't owe me anything.

    I can make suggestions to him, but he doesn't have to take them, I'm not his manager, and I can take no as an answer. (He could have let me down a little easier though.)

    From reading your blog post, I get the impression that you are venting because 1. the Lemmy devs didn't prioritize on the "improved moderation tools" that you wanted and 2. you are unhappy with the way they are running their own instance, which is kind of the point of decentralization that instances are ran independently from development.

    Let me ask you a follow-up question to think about (you don't have to answer me): You are putting weight into Sublinks right now, what's to say that you wouldn't have any disagreement with jgrim about the development priorities of Sublinks?

    Lastly, sorry I never did the thing that I promised you to do a few months about moderating a comm on lit cafe, been kind of stressed and irritable recently and can't really find the energy to do much creative writing. Sorry.

  • "GNU is Not Unix Image Manipulation Program Tool Kit" is still a better name for GTK than "GIMP ToolKit".

    It's a name that will definitely raise some eyebrows in the less technically inclined circles. (and maybe a few "Pulp Fiction" references about "bring out the gimp")
