It would be better to be able to pin comms to the top.

A weakness of Lemmy as a platform is that I wasn’t able to see this post until after the server downtime happened.

This is a case where neither party is banned from the instance the post is on, however one user is instance banned from the instance that the other user is currently on. The way it currently works is that the banned user can see and interact with the other user and the rest of the federation can see this interaction, however the other user is completely oblivious to the existence of the banned user.

I just thought of an edge-case, what happens when someone gets instance-banned and then tries to interact with a commenter from that instance? Currently it will post the comment but nobody from that instance will see it. If this isn’t intentional, what would happen?

Worked on notifying users when they’re banned from a community.

Does this also include when you get banned from an instance? Obviously being instance-banned won’t prevent you from commenting on their posts, it just won’t get federated to that instance, but I would still like to know when it happens so it’s not a surprise later on.

Idk to me it screams “solve this puzzle and win a free wrench” /s

Context is very interesting: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4592762/difference-between-const-const-volatile

Const flags to the code that you cannot change the value, and volatile flags to the compiler that it’s not safe to change the value.

Why even use variables in the first place? Just place the values directly into your code. If you need to change a value, that’s just bad planning. Hell, why even use values either? Just run a loop on the INC instruction until you get the value you need. It’s just efficient programming.

I personally think it’s a good idea overall and would take it a step further. It should hashtag “lemmy”, the instance it was posted on and the comm it was posted to. That way when you’re on mastodon you can subscribe to a lemmy comm by subscribing to its hashtag.

Being able to have the (almost)[Mastodon lacks downvoting] full Lemmy experience from a completely different website is what makes the federation so great.

Alt-texts in posts were sorely lacking so i’m very grateful that it’s an official feature now.

Infrastructure erasure in the states is so bad that people who build it for a living aren’t even considered anymore.

Between this and their declaration to stop using C tells me they’re ramping up for cyberwar.

We’ve all felt this at least once be honest with yourself.

I’m not going to get old at the beach

There’s no way it doesn’t hold logically

I got old

The worst thing is that the mods can ban you for any or no reason, locking you completely out of the information they’re providing. That is beyond an unreasonable amount of power that they can have over a user, and you just KNOW they’re going to use that for political reasons.

Also the fact they can delete stuff in a way that makes them invisible to law enforcement, so a lot of illegal shit goes down there too. Combine that with the naturally hierarchal structure of discord leads to a lot of people using that power to abuse some of the more vulnerable members and of course once you call it out, poof goes the messages and poof goes your access to their server.

You wanna hear a joke? American infrastructure jobs.

actually it’s when vuvuzela 9 gorillian dead & no iphone

Conservativism is when guns

I apologize.

Ah 5 years ago? That explains it. Early mastodon was rough but they seem to have gotten their shit together pretty recently.
