You mean the opposite? He keeps trying to make it right wing.

This isn’t even correct.

Does HDMI even work over USB C? Is there any reason for it to exist?

Yes I’m aware the design of the fediverse makes things public. You’ve made that point.

I think hiding your profile is worth the moderation trouble. Users report individual posts, they’re very rarely going through a person’s profile.

Mods banning based on activity in other places also leads to the opposite problem. Some subreddits do it and basically everyone hates it.

As long as they don’t dislike decentralization itself, we can definitely improve the user experience for some of these things without having to drop decentralization entirely.

Admins would still be able to see it. Mods can maybe see for their comm.

This is the same argument used against all privacy. The EU wants to kill end to end encryption so they can catch bad actors. No thank you, I’d rather my messages were private and so was my lemmy profile.

No I want it to be private (optionally) . The other guy was saying it’s not fully private still so I think you can tell users that if they want to make it private, but that shouldn’t be a reason to not make it private

It’s better than leaving the door unlocked

Then too bad? Why should my privacy be compromised because other people don’t pay attention.

Also you don’t have to click past it, I was just suggesting a static banner on the profile page, or next to the setting where’d you’d turn it off

Why does it have to be all or nothing? Why can’t I have some casual privacy, to stop every idiot from gawking at my post history?

If you want people to know, just put a big banner there “YOUR POST HISTORY IS NOT FULLY PRIVATE”

What so anyone who doesn’t have a particular interest in decentralization should just leave? That’s a great way to lose 98% of your userbase

There’s a difference between full guaranteed privacy that not even the NSA could get past and showing your post history by default in a nice UI for everyone to browse

Reddit’s search has noticeably improved. Ours hasn’t. Plus you can always search reddit via external search, but federation breaks traditional search engines

Because they can’t be bothered and it’s already there, I know, but you’d think there’d be a stronger incentive here

Please for the love of God why won’t people leave this horrible platform and stop enabling this man.

Not since Trump “saved” them.

It’s still a company, their only value is money

Look at this lucky bastard, getting interviews

I’m going to be honest, I have no idea how open source works. I can’t imagine maintaining anything more than a tiny library that I can ignore six days of the week.

Also: open source relies on good jobs. You can only do it if you have a well paid low stress job with good hours. Those have been in short supply recently.

I think the free time covid gave, followed by the free time the layoffs gave, and AI have been patching / hiding the fact that the core model of open source is completely unsustainable in its current state.

the main reason might just be whether the institution themselves claim they are educational

It’s a video game, the only actual reward is the satisfaction or pleasure playing the game will give you.

Which you might get more if you play as a good character?
