You guys really just want people who think the same way as you on your instance.
You should clearly state that instead of letting people waste their time here.
After long periods of not using GUIs, I found myself very confused every time I want to do something. I was trying to insert a code block into Power Point yesterday, took me half an hour of googling and didn't manage to do it. With Latex, I googled and in 2 minutes I had a code block.
Yes this is a honest concern, I tend to agree that there should be more freedom here, and things like piracy should be allowed.
As well as total free speech, none of that paradox of tolerance bullshit everyone is trying to push whenever they want to censor someone.
However, I think though we can all agree that child abuse and CP is not allowed.
Well maybe its unwanted by you, but it might be wanted by someone else.
I have no problem with anything having its space as long as its legal.
I never saw a NSFW post on lemmy actually, I have NSFW content hidden by default and it works great. Even though I am not interested in that content, I can respect that some people are.
This is also why I think banning communities because someone felt slightly offended is not the way to go. Lemmy already has a good way of moderating content per user, and you can ban communities and never see their content.
I dont think instance admins should be removing anything other than illegal content.
Not the first time that person was looking around for reasons to be outraged and ban communities. I hope they decide to go isolated and defederate from all instances.
Illegal content should be removed in any case, but there is nothing illegal here.
Because it's an open Instruction Set Architecture.
Many different companies used to design their own CPU IS architectures in the past like (MIPS, AVR, PIC, ...) and of course the most popular ARM.
Downside of this is that the software and ecosystems between these architectures are not compatible. Effort wasted in porting a library to one architecture cannot be always reused for another.
Recently we see a lot of companies adopting RiscV, and there is a big collaboration between them to ratify the specification and provide software support. This will in turn accelerate the development, and software and hardware support will hopefully overtake ARM in the future.
Sure, but some countries are more neutral, hosting in Switzerland would be for sure better, while USA is probably the worst choice.
And you wouldn't need to worry about it if you could host your own server and be able to communicate with other servers, like Lemmy is doing, you get the best of both worlds
They had to do it, but this is the downside using a git server hosted in non neutral country.
You never know when USA will decide to impose sanctions on a country for whatever reason.
It is one of the reasons many European companies do not use Github, as it is USA based.
Well not really, you would need an account in the organization in order to create issues, pull requests for a privately hosted instance.
You can see the public repository but apart from cloning you cannot do anything else.
While Gitlab.com is centrally hosted, not much different than Github, you still cannot communicate with other Gitlab hosted servers.
Advantage of Github over Gitlab is code discoverability. My organization hosts Gitlab instance but I would still rather host my open source project on Github instead, because its impossible to collaborate on Gitlab with external users who dont have an account on our instance.
Once there is a federation feature similar to Lemmy, I would be happy to host everything there.
The community was not even active, so there is no one maybe to send an appeal.
If you look at the upvote, and downvote ratio of this post, you can see that there is no unanimous opinion on this case, and the decision should be taken more carefully on this one. If you don't want to push your other users out of the instance.
Well, I am disappointed that the mods took the decision so easily. This community should maybe revise slightly the rules, but there was no clear violation, it could be resolved with discussion.
And there I was expecting Lemmy to enable bigger freedom of opinion than reddit, I guess I was wrong.
Seriously considering to stop using both networks.
I think you made a rushed decision, you are creating a dangerous precedent and you will be bombarded by people being outraged by minor things requesting you to ban communities for no good reason. In this case, if there was a violation it could be resolved with discussion instead of an outright ban.
You guys really just want people who think the same way as you on your instance. You should clearly state that instead of letting people waste their time here.
