In the internal letter to their employees, spez said :

We absolutely must ship what we said we would.

The way I see it some promise has been done by spez and they definitely won't change their minds.

Third party apps are just dead that's just how it is.

People should stop looking back.

Let's do our own thing on Lemmy and stop looking back.

I think they mostly crushed the protest and that only a minority of redditors will move and that's fine.

I still hope the reddit IPO will be a failure so that it shows it's not a good thing to alienate even a small part of your userbase.

Honestly, I respect their decision but at the same time I wonder why they didn't create a standalone unfederated from the get go.

If you want to keep the community small and tightly nit it's just not compatible with the federation system. Now people got invested in some beehaw communities only to end up disconnected from them.

Still, it's not like there is a guide for this. We are all learning how to make the federation work. I hope we can keep it civil toward instances that choose to defederate.

We are all invested in the same thing: Making Lemmy successful.

A few of mine :

• AndOTP : A good app for OTP that actually let's you backup your keys and move them easily and securely to a new phone
• Blokada : A system wide adblocker for Android. 4000000 ads blocked so far on my phone
• YouTube Vanced: Not really a "hidden" gem but a cool app nonetheless. I wish people knew you could get an ad free YouTube experience on mobile. It also includes sponsor block so you really get straight to content. Also let's you get a YT popup player and shutdown the screen with the video still playing.
• F-Droid an Android open source app market. Often includes apps that are not allowed on Google market.

Honestly, reading the comments of some out there regarding this issue. I'm starting to think that they did the right choice.

It doesn't take long to find fairly rude or insulting content regarding this.

Most people have no reason to care if a small instance decided to sail away.

It's disappointing because I think this platform is already turning into reddit in term of tone/aggressiveness.

And it's not even just comments, it's upvoting memes that are genuinely rude or targeting a specific community. I don't like the way this is going.

I have to ask.

Is there any truth to what has been said about Lemmy's dev ?

Out of curiosity, you say an overwhelming conventional force. Does that mean the NATO plan explicitly says it should be conventional?

I always imagined that if a country nukes another they would immediately be nuked themselves. Because if a country is using their nuclear arsenal, it's probably a bit late to moves armies around.

Are you not allowed to get everything deleted through GDPR or something similar?

Perso, je trouve que c'est pas une bonne attitude de se gargariser en disant qu'on est tellement plus mieux ici.

On est juste au début de l'histoire de Lemmy et c'est pas parce que la société Reddit fait de la merde que la modération ici doit être mieux.

La modération sera toujours un sujet de controverse quel que soit la plateforme. Et perso le seul moyen d'avoir de la modération de qualité c'est en payant les modérateurs. Ce qui n'est clairement pas possible ici.

Il va falloir des mois pour que ça se tasse et que le fediverse Lemmy se "consolide" en attendant ça va être controverse après controverse sur la modération et les defederations. Des camps vont se former et des "guerres" d'instances vont se produire.

Faisons notre truc ici, sans de retourner constamment vers Reddit. On a bien assez de challenges devant nous sur Lemmy. Tout est encore a construire.

It happens more since the law changed in 2017.

Our "Ministre de l'intérieur" said it happens less frequently but it has been fact checked and it's a lie.

For context the law changed in 2017 in the midst of the terrorist attacks in France. Unsurprisingly the law passed as a reaction to this is very ambiguous and unclear on when you can use your firearm if someone refuses to stop in a car.

Bleak urban funeral home ?

This is an article from 2020 and I'm fairly sure it didn't happen.

C'est la fin de mon ami Sync for Reddit aussi.

Tout ça a cause de cette petite bite de spez.

Mais quand même hâte de voir la suite de l'histoire.

J'espère que l'IPO de Reddit sera bien merdique.

Not that it matters but a more accurate title in french would be : "Tartelette aux fruits rouges"

Tartelette = Petite Tarte

Aux is better here because it is made of multiple fruits.

Pour ma santé mentale j'ai décidé de faire une grosse pause des journaux d'information télévisés.

Du coup ça me va très bien de pas avoir en particulier les faits divers et surtout pas l'équivalent des commentaires YT sur ceux-ci.

To some extent I think you can do most of that on Lemmy.

You can upload images for your posts (not sure for short videos) and cross-post them to other communities.

Edit: I don't know kbin.social but I suspect it would be more adequate to what you want to do.

Pas inquiété par les traces de doigt ou d'usure sur les touches du digicode ?

J'imagine qu'en changeant régulièrement de code ça va mais quand même c'est moins sûr qu'une bonne serrure :/

Je reste convaincu que si demain un dev de WhatsApp est contraint de rajouter une backdoor, on ne le saurait pas avant des années Je veux juste dire que pour une application aux sources fermées il faut faire confiance dans l'entreprise qui gère le code: Facebook en l'occurrence.

D'un autre côté si ce document est vraie, il semblerait que l'implémentation du protocole de Signal empêche au moins correctement l'accès au contenu des messages en transit et sur l'appareil dans une certaine mesure.

J'ai ajouté dans ma liste de lecture les livres de l'auteur Iain Banks. J'ai peu lu de livres de SF mais plusieurs personnes m'ont dit que cet auteur créé des univers particulièrement bien ficelés.

Si tu as le temps et que tu n'as pas lu cet auteur peut-être que ce serait un bon point de départ ?

I was eager to try out Liftoff but unfortunately I can't seem to log in on it :/

I noticed my password contains a space in the middle and I always get an "invalid password" error.

I didn't try yet to change the password and try again but I suspect the password field when you login might not like a space in it.

In any case, if I can check if the password is really the issue, I will try to create a proper bug report on the git repository or something.

Thanks for the hard work ! It makes me happy to see devs embracing Lemmy and trying to make the best out of a pretty sad situation with reddit.
