Same, still has a lot of missing features though. The one thing that would be a major improvement is to be able to open links between communities and threads. It always interprets everything as an email address for some reason. !Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world

They can't say it is sexual assault, until the person has been declared guilty in court. So they put it in quotes to indicate that is has been alleged by someone else

I was looking for a reddit alternative that was similar to how mastodon works and found lemmy. I don't like mastodon very much, but I thought the mastodon concept works much better when you have smaller communities decentralized over multiple instances. Kind of like all those bb-forums back in the day, but through a single interface/client.

So naturally, I do like Lemmy but it still kind of has the same problems I have with Mastodon. I want to go into detail in a full post at a later time, but in general it comes down to the user experience not being great. I have quite a lot of ideas for improvements

I setup my own email server, it was an absolute pain to setup, especially since I had no idea about all the little details of sending and receiving email. It was kind of fun to see everything come together

In the beginning I had a ton of email go into spam boxes, especially with gmail. Later I found out that if you don't add the proper email headers like to: "Name Of Recipient" <email@example.com> it goes straight to the spam folder. (So you always need to provide a name)

I am afraid to touch anything now though, as it is currently very really stable (on a vpn btw)

I don't make the rules 🤷 Maybe easier to prove? The media just doesn't like getting sued.

The article does say:

The man was reported to have sexually assaulted one of the women

Kind of thinking the same thing, I want to learn rust, but have not gotten an excuse to start using it. Maybe dedicating 8-16 hours per 2 weeks could help me learn rust and do something more complex than writing hello world. I have some additional time in a month or so, so might as well try

I agree with both yeah. Personally I would have made different choices than the CEO has.

Have a more realistic planning for developers to adapt. Offer different types of api pricing models.

It all could have been handled more strategically, which makes him a poor CEO in my opinion

You don't have to care, nor do I care

Web 1: fragmentation Web 2: centralizatiom Web 3: decentralization Web 4: quantum entanglement Web 5: ...

Well, looking at all the comments in this post, not everyone agrees with that. i do think the Apollo dev is a king in how he has handled everything though

Ask the CEO, not me 😂 I'd have approached it differenly

There are a multitude of reasons for making the API paid or rate limited, I don't think the CEO went with the right approach. But it was due time at some point

This is something I explained to a client of mine. I do see AI as part of the Future in software development, but it won't replace programming as it is just the most precise way to tell a computer how you want things to work.

I think / hope AI will help get rid of a lot of boilerplate code. Where you'll have AI driven programming languages that only require you to write business logic and define architectural requirements and AI can handle all the details of how it connects, where to fetch and send the data and to do it efficiently

I picked my regional one (technically also better for latency)

Of course you can complain about reddit. It just makes you look like a tantrum throwing toddler, especially when you complain about the reddit users that do choose to stay. How dare they make different choices than you

This thread really makes everyone look like a bunch of toddlers throwing temper tantrums.

The fact is that Reddit is a a company and companies exist to make money. 3rd party apps are hitting their bottom line and they're losing out on the 12 cent per user per month they are normally getting. Which roughly translates to a couple of million USD per year. Be honest, you would not donate millions of dollars out of the kindness of your heart either.

They have the right to do this, and you have the right to leave reddit. But stop complaining about the people that do keep using reddit and want to keep using reddit.

My personal opinion is that I do think the CEO has made some poor decisions, and the API pricing is on the high side. But there are many good arguments to be made to make the API priced

Edit: these downvotes though, true reddit moment 🥲
