I think it would benefit from specific communities or content creators adopting it. As long as itâs only general topics (technology, Linux, âŚ) it has basically the same info as Reddit/Hackernews/⌠but less up to date and less commented. It is useless if you already use those other platforms and probably canât get ahead this way.
I could see Godot/Blender/⌠adopt it though. Blender already uses PeerTube. That would help kickstart this place.
The software is great but the people arenât there.
Link to where âWebDev working standardsâ say URLs should be short? SEO benefits from more info in URL, and so does web browser history/bookmark search. Many platforms such as Reddit and Medium put the title (or part of it) in the URL.
Presenting your opinions as fact and quoting âstandards and teachingâ when asked does not advance the debate.
You can open it, delete it, then finish reading it. The file will disappear from its folder but of course the data wonât actually be deleted until you close it.
Like this, with bash job control:
$ cat file.txt & rm file txt; fg
Or this, with shell file descriptors:
$ exec 3< file.txt; rm file.txt; cat <&3; exec 3<&-
I think itâs safe to say that GitHub went above and beyond what is required. They prevented people from getting their own data before blocking them permanently from the site, which they did without warning, and apparently even targeted people who werenât in those countries at all but merely had connected from one in the past. They could definitely do better.
Thatâs only one instance, lemmy.ml. As per the post, this is not what they are trying to promote.
What are the use cases for federating with Mastodon or Pleroma? I suppose you would not want to see any thread from there in Lemmy, but I am not sure about the other way either. Browsing communities and even threads from Mastodon/Pleroma seems difficult, and ordering by votes (or even showing votes) wonât work, leading to problems.
Is the only use case replying in Lemmy threads from Mastodon/Pleroma, to skip creating an account? (and maybe having favorites/boosts count as upvotes?) This would require copying the link to a specific reply to your client to reply there, which doesnât seem to me like something people would want to do regularlyâŚ
It would be like that if someone had put made-up information on a talk page or their user page. Information in the main namespace is supposed to be patrolled and checked for references, which is the point of the article. Your analogy is dishonest.
