  • Do I think those people will move in? No, I don’t. Apparently some had already tried and they got stamped out pretty quickly.

    There’s a pretty strong Marxist/Leninist/far-left community on here as well, so that helps. They can be insufferable themselves (mostly just the authoritarian pro-Putin ones), but as long as it’s not facist bullshit I can deal.




  • I feel like I remember there being a lot of pushback against flatpak even as recently as a few years ago. Wasn’t there a strong preference for programs to be in mainline repos or something like the Arch AUR?

    I know the AUR is being depreciated soon. Was there a major shift in receptiveness to flatpaks or something? From a security point of view I feel like the baked in sandboxing of flatpak binaries is probably a strong selling point.


  • If you wanted to maintain distribution while also lowering onboarding friction, couldn’t you round robin 301 redirects to the signup pages on the instances listed on the joinlemmy page or something? I guess with each instance being moderated differently, having different rules, and having a different culture/focus that might not fly, idk.
