Reddit banning a hyper fan club for a shit podcast was the worst thing that Reddit could have done for future Reddit alternatives. It was cool when it was a small sub, but y’all super aggro and attention seeking demeanor is quite a contrast to how mellow things were around here before.
I don’t even disagree with your points usually. Just think you all act like teenage children on bad cocaine.
A while ago, someone suggested having a second instance that federates with everyone, and that instance be the only one hexbear federates with. Like a demilitarized zone. I think it has merit, even though it's probably means much more work for the admins and more server overhead
I don't think it's that much more work if the sanctuary instance doesn't have a single comm. So, if you are logged on with the sanctuary account, you would see nothing under local and only Hexbear posts under All. The real work is vetting accounts that get created in the sanctuary instance. Most likely, account creation would be completely closed and only open to older Hexbear accounts with good standing.
I said that leftists shouldn't be doing open source platform development for libs and instead should be protecting lemmy with copyright so that libs can't use it. I was yelled at, but I will die on that hill maintaining I was correct.
I'm not trying to like call the devs libs or anything, and I'm appreciative of their work.
. I understand why intellectual property is bad, and how open source is useful for auditing. My argument is just that we don't live in a world where leftists can do open source development and it won't just be taken by libs to be used in ways other than how we intended it to be used.
