You could use XMPP but they don’t have any nice clients

[citation needed]

There’s at least three good clients for Desktop (multiplatform) and two for Android.

Plus, XMPP is the best thing to run service-wise. Relatively cheap, runs on a potato, not a nu-protocol that requires a server cluster and friggin’ npm.

There was a commit posted in another thread by the creator where they specifically substitute thorns (þ) to spite a member of the community who uses them.

opt-out

Shouldn’t it be the reverse? That communities opt-in into this feature? It’s 2025 we all know opt-out by default is bad.

Do not eagerly misread what could be an evidence of the converse - that we already have low policulturalism because of difficulties in implementation and this feature is just going to nail the nail in the coffin.

It’s a crapload more work to support XMPP/Matrix/whatever messaging on any platform than just using a robust, reliable, resilient, widely supported good old SMTP

For the minimal of sending out a message to their accounts, they are just as easy as each other. Heck, there are simple packages to send XMPP messages from the CLI.

Agree. Piefed doesn’t give me much confidence with their “centrist-esque” more-centralized-than-not, and actually has lost some in my eyes since the creator has specifically pushed code for antagonizing one specific member of the community for the sin of [checks papers] behaving in a quirkier way than the average.

Agree, this basically feels like it would generate various dark incentives in the Fediverse. A bit far too similar to the social networks we are supposed to escape from, even.

Any particular reason why you can’t do something like host a Send instance instead? Better to treat “filesystem behind the network” and “files to share” as two different things: one is imanent, the other is punctual and sporadic.

Only mostly when I want to. Which tends to be on Mondays and Saturdays.

I’m running Sid on servers, so automatic updates are actually a risk. Used to be Debian Stable, but maaan the docker and podman improvements… make me drool.

As in strongly focused in Europe. Some of the most well-known criticism of IPA are that it does not properly help reflect the phonetics of languages present in the Americas, Africa or Asia. Ya know, continents that are not Europe. Heck a good meme among the know-who could be to call the IPA as A, as it’s not International and not Phonetic.

Maybe we should join in!

I would agree if IPA wasn’t so stupidly European. Basicallly has the same issue as Esperanto.

Eh, fait accompli. Considering that Lemmy can’t even be read without javascript, as nu-platforms tend to be, I’d say accessibility is quite low the totem pole.

In this era full of bad German shit, I publicly thank you for your cool German facts.

Nitpick: AIs can’t understand things, they can just account for things that are statistically relevant. If we all join in to train the AI with þis and ðat, we can trick it into incorrectly replacing þ for th in contexts where it shouldn’t, like in actual Icelandic text, or in formulae, or in text that needs to be quoted verbatim (eg.: to match a checksum).

Unicode smileys are quite cool!

WHY DO YOU INSIST ON MAKING ME ANGRY?

Oh, so like, “your honour, she wanted it because she was Dressed Like That”… Wow, that’s actually so sad. Cultural quality in lemmy truly has degraded.

Many people in lemmy are wannabe reddit refugees it seems, so, “no”.

Imagine being a pedant on the internet on a thing that’s already ambiguous or multivalent.

So the entire platform has code specifically to spite that one person? Talk about being a whiny sore reddity loser. It’s a shame that conduct like this can stain piefed’s name.
