Sorry, that's not what I meant. The AT protocol has been available since they began. So anyone could have built apps on it all this time. Federation isnt required for their protocol to be used.

I just haven't seen any entirely working apps (made by non-Bluesky devs) using their protocol yet. And they totally ignored using or improving ActivityPub. So it comes off as their just kind of building their own thing, which is a centralized way of thinking.

They would've been better off building Blusesky on ActivityPub, an open protocol that's already battle-tested and in use by a number of different apps and made my different developers. But building a whole new protocol that no apps are using has the same net effect as if a centralized company like Instagram Threads were to do it.

If you're saying there are non-Bluesky apps using their protocol, can you link to these apps here in a reply? Totally open to being corrected.

Not the person you replied to. But I think they meant that Bluesky is using a protocol that only the company uses.

Sure its a federated and decentralized protocol, I guess. But if they're the only platform using it, it's still rather centralized in that regard.

You can get an RSS feed for a Lemmy search term e.g.

https://openrss.org/programming.dev/search?q=cats

Yeah, because anything that isn't a big new JavaScript framework is just way too complicated

There is if you want RSS feeds for things like Lemmy search. And if you want the links in feed items to be associated with a single instance. AFAIK, regular Lemmy feeds dont provide that. But ofc people can use Lemmy feeds if they want.

News sites are better to consume via RSS feeds. Check out openrss.org that has feeds for a lot of websites. There are even RSS feeds for Mastodon and Lemmy.

Totally understand! Social media and the constant flow of information in our feeds can be so detrimental to our mental health. If you do consider coming back, RSS feeds may be better for you. They allow you to control your sources, how frequently you see content, and you can even filter things easily. It's just like any normal feed on any website, but you can add different websites and sources to it and it just gives you way more control over your level of consumption online. Here's a good article about how RSS feeds help with our mental health if you're curious. Always put your health before all else, and wishing you all the best!

Nice! I was looking for something like this the other day. Also great that it's available on Flathub.

Who are these people downvoting these posts? 😆

Announcing my departure from moderation?

since you're quitting Lemmy entirely? I'd ask why but I'm sure that's probably a little too personal. If it's related to the moderation of those subs, it may make sense to disclose that, though. 🫡

Haha this is only their attempt to collect more data (than required on taxes) on US Citizens. Look at the process to sign up. It's obvious. If they really wanted to help the population file their taxes, they would just not require filing at all. They already know how much we make, so they know what we owe. At most, if liability is an issue, they should be sending us the tax information they already have on us and we just check off if its correct or not.

If you are using RSS, you are just lurking, then you wouldn’t get to vote.

Sorry but the assumption that people using Lemmy RSS feeds are just lurking and not actively participating comes off as a little naive.

In fact, the whole post makes a lot of assumptions that I dont think are accurate, which makes it difficult to wrap my head around whether a solution is necessary or if this is really a problem to begin with.

This assumes that people who are interested in a community are subscribers, which isn't always the case. Users like me who subscribe to RSS feeds for communities, for example. This also doesnt account for people who might create a new or alt account. Wouldn't they have to resubscribe to every community just to get their votes counted?

How does getting ratio'd strengthen the OP's argument? It just shows how controversial it is, which diminishes the support for what's being suggested.

It will be fixed. It's gov. So baby steps. The EU is working hard and it's going to be a while before we get everything we want.

It's pretty obvious they're only doing this to try to push people who like the recommendations to create an account. But can't people just create throwaway accounts to temporarily relieve their recommendation fix?

Their recommendations are useless anyway. I don't want to see 200 rock hard abs videos just because I watched a clip of Roseanne doing sit-ups.

Yeah git reset --soft then the sha of the last commit you want included in reset.

Mine are pretty sassy

This seems to interestingly prove the point made by the person this is in reply to. Breaking laws come with consequences. Not caring about a robots.txt file doesn't. But maybe it should.

Nice! Looks like it's built with Hugo! Never heard of that framework before but looks like it saves a lot of dev time. 👍

Hey glad to see this! I'd love to work on the codebase but I dont use Discord and unfortunately wont be using it just for this effort. But still... Kudos to everyone who is able to help out!
