LES when? Just kidding (...or am I?), awesome work as always! I've seen a similar this project floating around late last month two weeks ago I think but having it linked to old.lemmy.world is much better.
Edit: It was actually the same project just with a different link connected to it! It was also 2 weeks ago not late last month
Having r/place be more than a one-time event is dumb enough already especially now that streamers are trying to capitalize off of it as well.
It's always same shit different day as long as people can't find other things that represent their country and interests other than flags and the logo of whatever they're interested in.
Not that I would want that, now after all that happened. Maybe a boring non-variant r/place is the best we can do aside of writing fuck spez on everything that lets us?
Would love to see more nudity and profane messages though since they would NEVER be able to use that to advertise Reddit.
I was only saying my opinion and in my opinion people are making way too much of a fuss about this, as if the world ended. This outcome should seriously have been expected in my opinion.
Anywas we're not missing out on anything, if it doesn't go on Steam, except of course slightly more comfort and functions that can be fulfilled by other programs as well.
I hate how the people keep spamming "SPRICH DEUTSCH DU HURENSOHN" (I know what that means, I am German, also very funny and totally not overused ) below every single comment.
Maybe I'm OOTL on whatever announcement they made on ichiel but this seems like they're meme-ing on the people that want to put stuff like "API" or "fuck u/spez" on the canvas and I do not see the positive in meme-ing on them since that's pretty much the only thing left to do.
I agree that a global hard-limit is problematic since every instance (admin) will want it to be how they see it, of course.
A per-instance limit was what I had in mind (not originally, this point has come up before because of the user I mentioned in my last paragraph and someone convinced me; There also already is an issue regarding that or something similar as far as I remember and I gave my opinion on it in a reply).
I think in that sense we both agree, it should be per-instance, and as you mentioned, the fediverse is all about decentralization, which is why I think something should be done about it.
And I think unless we have further methods to maintain decentralized moderation, this hardlimit (per-instance) is the first step, or at least a step, in the necessary direction.
Best case scenario, we'll get other methods of maintaining decentralized moderation and get rid of the softlimit (?) later down the line.
Of course democratic spins like subscribers voting mods every now and then would be an interesting solution (that opens up new problems, of course, but that comes with every solution).
Should we just keep the door open with an advertising sign or should we at least take the advertising sign away?
That's not an argument not to introduce hardcoded limits, it is a problem for sure, but leaving them the opportunity without at least making it a bit of a hassle is just going to invite opportunity assholes.
I knew this would happen and that's why I am FOR hardcoded community limits per userunless an admin, in individual cases, allows the user to open additional communities based on past handling of other communities the user has been (or was supposed to be) modding.
Letting a user create 54 communities, especially those that were some of the biggest communities on Reddit is dangerous. Powermodding is a serious problem on online platforms and letting individual users create unlimited communities leads to it. Imagine how much money this person might want to sell their Account(s) for when the platform grows further and interest might accrue?
It is humanely impossible to mod more than a handful of communities alone anyways. The users you mentioned are powermods.
As another good example against freedom of creating unlimited communities is user LMAO whom most of you will probably at least have heard of by now, or even found when searching for a community that has numbers in its name.
I see the point but I'd personally rather start asking the questions, whose answers have been deleted off of Reddit, here to build up a new (hopefully fireproof) Library of Alexandria.
For me personally for mundane-ish questions, searching the web-archive for a snapshot that still had the answer is too much a hassle and not as future proof. If a snapshot of that specific question even existed in the first place.
I do have to say that I've seen such replaced comments at least 3 times in the wild by now which is way more than I expected at first. It's a loss for sure but I do have to appreciate that some people actually followed through to such an extend.
