Defederation should be the LAST and FINAL option. From what I understand, this is a small instance that isn't causing much trouble outside of their instance. Block them on your own! I'm on lemmy.world, but personally I would like to keep up to date on the shit they post. I don't think we should start going around defederating communities that we disagree with, even though their opinions are shit, vile, offensive, and disgusting. Leave it up and block them on your own.

Edit: 10 years ago I used to be one of those intolerable fucks. Yes - exactly like them. Until I talked to other people on Reddit, real life, and listened to other ideas. I had a change of heart and hope even a couple of them could too. It happens.

This is very unexpected but I'm so ready to show support! I'll be financially donating and supporting! ljdawson, it at your own pace and I'll be happy with anything you can bring to the community! I was so pleased with Sync for Reddit every step of the way.

The Sync for Reddit dev just announced that Sync for Lemmy is going to be developed. Sync for Reddit is one of the very high quality 3rd party reddit apps that will be shutdown later this month. So you've got that to look forward to.

Am I the only one on mobile that tapped the comment button in the screenshot at least once? Sync had me HOOKED.

Yeah we need to leave that in the past and not repeat a fiasco like that. The community could have handled that much better. I'm just thankful for the support from lj.

I love Lemmy, but I really struggle with the content here. Of course things are a little bare, but I have been able to find some really good stuff. My engagement is a lot higher here than on Reddit. However I find the litany of anti-work and political/left/right posts insufferable. They're everywhere here. At least on Reddit I felt like I could insulate myself reasonably well from political stuff. c/mildlyinfuriating is an example of this. At least half of the posts I come across are blatantly political or are anti-work. I get it, work sucks and you don't want to work and rich people/landlords bad. R/mildlyinfurating is a much better sub than ours is a community, imo. But I can't surround myself with this kind of Lemmy content every day because it just angers me and I didn't go to reddit to be angry every day. I have found myself drifting back to reddit for 60% of my usage. I hope this changes. I've tried to sub to different communities as well to limit how much I have to read about the latest communists and nazis and racists/fascists and tankies and all that Lemmy bullshit. Clearly I need to do a better job.

I've actually had a great time making posts and contributing to conversations here. Everyone on these new subs wants to get the ball rolling, so any input usually brings something to the table. !Motorcycles went from 17 subs and 0 posts 5 days ago...to 230 subs now and a page full of posts and comments.

I don't feel a need to stay up to date, no. But reading about what those idiots think doesn't hurt my ego or ruin my day. I just like to have an idea of what the "enemy" is thinking. I don't want to live in an echo chamber. The sub isn't even THAT bad compared to what I was expecting. They've got some gross posts, don't get me wrong. But it's not NEARLY bad enough to warrant defederating. Most of the posted content is moderate-right. Defederating is silly in this case.

Good news - it's happening!

This is an incredibly useful explanation of the issue. I had no idea that accessibility was as much work as it is and is so difficult to pitch to executives. I'm even more impressed that these third party apps were able to effectively pull it off.

To contrast some of the comments here from people who've clearly never used one of these foldables outside of a display case, I've had my Fold 3 (the larger folding tablet style) for two years. I came from the Note and S lines, Windows Phone, and have bounced between iPhones. My Fold 3 is in great shape and has survived many falls. It's definitely durable enough for me. I take care of it, but I get that some people don't desire to take care of their devices and expect them to be exceedingly durable. Never had anything under the screen. Never take it to the beach unless it's in a sealed ziplock. I take care not to put it in dusty environments or let sawdust or shavings get into it (hobbies).

Unfolded, it's better than any other phone out there. Viewing videos enlarged or widescreen is great depending on video and application. During normal usage, the crease is not noticable enough to be a distraction unless viewed from a severe angle (think the person sitting next to you). Unfolded scrolling of Lemmy, the internet, and reading is a better experience than anything else out there - bar none, no argument. The screen is just huge and viewing websites in mobile or desktop is fantastic. It makes the web actually useable from a mobile device. I never use my Galaxy Tab anymore. Samsung does a pretty good job software-wise adapting apps to fit the foldable aspect ratio if a guveb app doesn't officially support it. More apps are supporting foldables every day.

I would agree with the sentiment that the Z Flip line likely has a more gimmicky purpose. At least the Fold line functions as a tablet and is a decent phone folded up. At least, that is my experience with a Z Flip 3 before swapping for a Fold 3. But I'll be buying foldables exclusively from here on out. After using the Fold 3 for two years, I can say it's folding screen is definitely NOT a gimmick.

Thanks for coming! I just joined as well and am really enjoying myself. There's definitely enough for me here to entertain myself and it might only grow larger and broader. I think about it this way - I believe there's a higher chance that Lemmy will go through a "golden age" as opposed to Reddit which seems to be way past its own.

I would recommend waiting to play until the Phantom Liberty expansion releases. The devs have been clear that many basic aspects of the game are getting reworked in the expansion. So in some ways the game will play differently when the expansion releases. Especially the police and wanted system. Personally, I bought it on sale and am waiting to play for the first time when Phantom Liberty releases in September.

That's awesome and not what I was expecting! I imagine most of them could pick it up? Any tips for swapping out 70-year-old men for getting women to talk to you? Delete even more chrome?

Quit trying to start a fight. It's a common saying. Not every comment on the internet is a racist or Holocaust-denying statement, although those exist. This isn't one of them.

Jeez I read shower SHITTERS and came to laugh at all of the weirdos. Thankfully I don't have to write off humanity as early as usual this morning.

Great looking bike! I've been eyeing these!

I can't wait to play this game for the first time when this expansion goes live. I've been a patient gamer and haven't even bought the game yet. Glad to see it will probably pay off especially since people seem to be happy with the game as is. There's going to be SO much to play this fall.

I was nervous about Starfield, but that deep dive completely assuaged my fears. I'm a believer now and I can't wait to get into it. Every few minutes I was impressed by a new mechanic or the depth of something like shipbuilding. Very impressed.
