We're talking about blocking all content on an instance though--not necessarily a few nasty communities or posts or users. Blocking an instance blocks all content, including non-offensive content that may be posted by legitimate users.
For an admin to block everyone on an instance from all of their users just because of a few bad actors still seems weird to me. It's just gonna lead to every instance blocking each other, which destroys the experience for users and defeats the point of federation.
I like RoR but "Ruby on Rails" and "modern" in the same sentence seems kind of funny.
But then again, "modern" is subjective in itself and most of the websites I see these days (even built and maintained by large companies) seem pretty ancient.
No semantic HTML, still using divs everywhere, no accessibility, all these useless third-party dependencies and lockins vs the new APIs being introduced natively in the browser every day, ajax, jquery instead of using the web platform, hell-- most web developers don't even know what a dialog element is.
I've always felt like the blocking should happen at the user level and muting should be at the instance-level. Feels odd for admins be able to prevent users from seeing content.
Oh ok seems fine as long as the code continues to merge cleanly with upstream. But once that stops happening, could be hard to continue development without branching off and going our own way.
Will the custom code be open source and made available to us? If so, where would that be?
So we're gonna keep defederating instances every time a user of an instance acts crazy? Until every instance deferates from each other? This is getting absurd... and feels more and more like... high school.
I agree. For the people that dont want to see your home feed cluttered with duplicate content, it may be time to just start subscribing to your favorite Lemmy communities using RSS feeds for more control.
There's an RSS feed for anything on Lemmy using Open RSS. For instance, the RSS feed for this community is here:
Came here to say this. I've been using LanguageTool for a while, but they've also recently started implementing AI into the product.
Using AI itself isnt a problem if the engine they're using is completely proprietary. But they're likely using some third-party engine to send the data to. But I'd love to be proven wrong by them open sourcing the code for it so I can take a look at it myself.
That's an issue for a great feature request. I was thinking more of a globally public display of all upvotes and downvotes a user has. But I think you've addressed why that's not an option deeper in the comments of that issue. Thanks!
They probably wont implement due to potential harrassment from abuse. But you can follow users using Open RSS feeds in meantime. Here's your feed for example:
Would definitely love to see more web-platform friendly frontend tech used, like Svelte. It would also make contributing to the frontend much easier imo.
20+ year programmer and I've never made an account on SO. During the early stages of SO, the idea of making people have to earn a certain amount of SO karma just to ask a question seemed like an odd obstacle to place in front of new users. I get why they may want to do it but decisions like that are already divisive and toxic to being with.

This was always a no-brainer imo. Love what node has been doing so far 👏
