  • Russian Oligarch that is actually wealthier

    Putin himself has always been a strong contender

  • A cohesive culture has definitely formed distinct from the rest of the fediverse. I think microblogging as a paradigm kind of lends itself to this but Lemmy certainly has a distinct culture as well.

  • I don't think it's fair to write off the entire medium like that. They all share a common ancestor in Twitter and I think it's fair to say the toxicity is inherited from there.

    • Permanently Deleted

  • I think this is an incredibly outdated take. Python is just about the best general-purpose interpreted language out there right now.

    • Please don't use Discord for FOSS projects

  • The biggest problem with traditional forums is the fact that participation requires yet another account. This is the most significant thing that discord has going for it, nearly everybody already has a discord account. Federated forums mostly solve this issue tho

  • Damn it's still wild to me that generating text is a solved problem.

  • I find cutting meat makes a massive difference

    • Lemmy be super toxic

    Jump

  • I saw a highly upvoted post the other day about how a user would downvote all movie trailers because they considered them ads. A wild choice to make when you could just unsub from the movie communities? I think this is very much Lemmy's brand of toxicity

    • Is there a downvote bot on lemmy or something that downvotes a post regardless of the content ? If there is a downvote bot what can we do about it ?

    Jump

  • This is some toxic lemmy culture bullshit.

    • The ability for Fediverse apps to interact with each other is the least interesting/useful feature of the Fediverse.

    Jump

  • The Mastodon posts are nearly always higher quality and more on topic than posts from lemmy users.

  • Only because it's mostly broken. In a world where these features are fully functional, this is absolutely a killer feature. Lemmy has particularly bad support among the broader fediverse and that's certainly impacting how much of it you see.

    • TIL May Day, not on the same day as US Labor Day, started "in commemoration of the Haymarket Riot in Chicago (1886)."

    • Happy 10 million! According to FediDB, we have hit 10 million users across the Fediverse!

    Jump

  • I believe that's 900 active servers, not users.

  • Nope. That's 418k total. 38k active

  • They're on Mastodon and Misskey for the most part.

  • I thought they fixed the a.gup.pe groups recently?

  • the more convinced I am that the AT protocol is better than ActivityPub.

    That's because AT was very deliberately designed to solve problems with ActivityPub.

    I wonder what sort of bridging can be implemented between AT Protocol and ActivityPub implementations.

    The folks over at https://fed.brid.gy/ have been working at this. Much to the chagrin of the folks over at Mastodon.

    • Are there really almost 2m Lemmy users?

    Jump

  • That is for the fediverse overall. Most of that comes from Mastodon. I personally have a little more faith in fedidb.org and their numbers. Also, worth noting the criteria for active users on Lemmy was recently changed to include votes, whereas before it only counted comments and posts.
