Wow. I never even noticed that option before. That's actually pretty cool.
But kind of sounds like a bug in that case, because if the admins wanted to remove the community then it shouldn't be possible to view comments from there either.
Pretty sure that's been a thing for a while. It's like when lemmy.world blocked !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com. They are still federated but they just blocked that one community.
I assume that's what lemmy.ml is doing with the conservative community.
Mother of God, I did not realize that he's pushing 70k comments.
Btw are you just joking or isn't there actually a tool that checks Lemmy profiles and gives a neat little scorecard with some stats? I remember reading a thread where someone linked it but that was a while ago.
I'm not familiar with the details of that, but it seems like more of a red herring to me. A form of controlled opposition to divert people away from truly revolutionary platforms.
Of course it has to seem like a plausible alternative, but is it actually decentralized or altruistic enough to make a meaningful difference? I think not.
I wish he had mentioned Lemmy, but it's understandable that he didn't. Also Bluesky isn't an alternative to big tech, it IS big tech. I wish it wasn't stealing so much of our publicity lately.
But beggars can't be choosers, and we have seen some nice growth over the past couple months. John Oliver fans are the perfect candidates to join the fediverse, hopefully some of them find their way to Lemmy.
Meh, there's little reason to think Adams knows which way the wind is blowing. More likely that he just needs to make a ballsy bet to salvage his career, and going against Trump is a guaranteed political win in NYC.
I agree, I think Lemmy should add an option to fetch all the historical posts from a remote community. Right now it just starts federating from when the first person subscribes to that community, but it would be better if it was retroactive.
I based that off fedidb but it seems to be very inaccurate. Obviously it wasn't tracking until a certain point in Lemmy development.
I'll make a list of the major instances from before the APIcalpyse of June 2023 that are still active. For the Lemmy historians 🧐. I'm mostly basing this by the top admin account on each server, because the admins are listed in order of seniority in the sidebar.
Honorable mention to feddit.de which was an early instance too IIRC and now lives on in feddit.org
This is largely just an interesting piece of trivia, but also somewhat notable because servers generally don't federate content from before they were founded. So the older servers will have local copies of posts and comments from the early days of Lemmy.
Lemm.ee over 4,000 MAUs. Lemmy.ca and lemmy.dbzer0.com up to 1.5k after hovering around 1k for most of 2024. All of the major servers seeing solid growth. Good work lemmings, keep it up
Yea you're probably right. But fuck it, if anybody should be gassing him up it's other SJW users
That's the only thing hexbear users get right, they always got their homies backs.
He makes me feel concise at times, which is absurd. But the extra thought and effort he puts into every single comment is exemplary, along with the fact that he's not afraid to speak his mind even if it goes against the circlejerk. You're a real one @southsamurai@sh.itjust.works
Okay, fair enough. Ultimately we live in a world that is still dominated by Europe and America. In order for children to have the best chance of succeeding in this world, it's necessary for them to have a basic grasp of how things ended up this way. And most of the main characters in that story were of European extraction. That's the rub of it. It's not pretty, but it is what it is.
Education is not a purely intellectual pursuit, it's actually primarily an economic one, now more than ever. I didn't create this situation, so please don't go after me for explaining it.
I just said you instead of using the third person one, because it sounds less pretentious. It was a hypothetical, I wasn't referring to you personally.
I hear you. But each school and indeed each individual history teacher gives a slightly different rendition of history. I learned about many positive black achievements growing up, because my teachers were consciously trying to provide a well rounded perspective. You realize there are a lot of black history teachers too right? I'm sorry about your experience, but let's not generalize as if it represents every single history class ever taught.
I hope so. I love recognizing people on Lemmy. It's so much easier and less stressful to interact when you know what to expect from certain usernames. Like for instance I know OP (St*mets) can get irritable at times, but they ultimately mean well and post a lot of good memes.
SemiHemiDemigod is just an elite Lemmy commenter in all facets. No notes.
