Its pretty nice so far. The only bug I found is when you subscribe to a new instance and it hangs and it goes back to "subscribe" instead of "pending" like I saw on jerboa it kinda confused me. Adding your account manually was kind of a pain since there wasn't a "show password" option so if you can, stick to autofill with a password manager instead. Also it does stutter a bit when scrolling on a post with 100+ comments but just give it a second
Ok so there's a thing called Colyte, thats the brand name. It is a polyethylene glycol electrolyte juice. You can ask for it at a pharmacy, they might have a different brand. It tastes pretty good. Now it'll get you real cleaned out, so you'll have to keep eating like some kind of horrific human centipede. Drink lots of water, stay hydrated.
Because there is no karma system on lemmy (thank goodness, I'm against karma), you can easily create a 1000s of bots which will upvote your post and bring it to front page.
The solution is not some custom anti-abuse system which can be game. (Stuff like "you can't vote because of the age of your account", ...) IMHO, the solution is bot detection. Since everything is public an an instance, somebody at some point will start scraping instance to detect bot behavior and inform instance owner. It will come with maturity.
Not- actually accurate- There IS a karma system. I can lookup your overall post karma, both positive and negative. I can lookup your comment karma. Separated by positive and negative.
Its just not exposed through the Lemmy UI currently. I will note, kbin does who is upvoting and downvoting posts as well.
If humans have a bot-like behavior, it's okay to mark them as bot. If a human is only posting to promote products/astroturf, who cares if it's misclassified, it doesn't add anything to the discourse. IMHO, that's good riddance.
And in my solution, at the end the instance owner takes action, it's not like there is no human recourse.
I have no problem telling people I'm into video games (playstation and nintendo - mostly zelda right now), movies, and reading (lotr, stormlight). For some reason it feels like people shy away from saying they're into those things. Everyone knows you watch TV at night. No need to be coy about it. I'm also into soccer (playing and watching top 5 leagues) and music (playing guitar and piano).
I always love meeting other Sanderson fans. I feel like it's a really tight knit community. I'm looking forward to the discussions that we will be able to have on Lemmy someday when more people join. Journey Before Destination!
Have you played the new Zelda game?
And your a fellow masochist (i.e. Arsenal fan)? How long have you supported them? Who's your favorite player?
I love video games, board games, music, and traveling. I used to love programming too, but working as a software dev for as long as I have has kind of killed that passion 😅
Life is great! I feel very fortunate to not have a lot of stressors in my life. I hope that’s more common than it seems these days!
Yeah, that's why I never encourage people to work in something they love. It will kill your passion for it. Instead, do something you can put up with and find something you like about it. What video games and music do you like?
Oh I completely agree. Funny enough, I never intended to do it as a career. I always wanted to be a pilot. But unfortunately the FAA considers me “medically unfit”, so I had to go with my backup plan.
For video games I’m all over the place lol. I’m a huge fan of 2D platformers, so Spelunky 2 and Hollow Knight are pretty high up on my list. I’ve played a ton of OSRS over the years, but I’ve been taking a hiatus for the last few years. I imagine I’ll start playing again eventually! Besides that, some of my other favorites are Factorio, Terraria, Dark Souls/Elden Ring, and Divinity Original Sin 2. There’s just too many to even name haha.
For music I’m a metal fan, specifically progressive metal. But I really enjoy electronic, rap, and classical as well.
Wow, similar thing for me, I have a 'bicuspid aortic valve' which means the aortic valve in my heart is a bit funky and doesn't push blood through as it should. And that makes the FAA also deem me medically unfit. I think there is a process to get a medical exemption, but with the cost of getting a license so high already, I just decided to stick with MSFS. I get to 'fly' a 737 like I wanted as a kid, learn all about it, but I'm not shelling out thousands and years of my life (okay, maybe I am shelling out some money but I like pretty airports!)
That’s a bummer! For me it’s Narcolepsy, and because the only medication that works for me also disqualifies me, exemption isn’t an option for me.
MSFS really is awesome! The level of detail with the planes blew my mind. Come to think of it, I haven’t tried playing it again since I upgraded my PC. I should give it a shot!
That's awesome! Some pretty great games you've listed. I also love Dark Souls/Elden Ring and Hollow Knight as well! Those are intense games, but getting the platinum in them is fun. I also love God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Mario, and Shadow of Mordor/War. But my favorite game of all time is Zelda and I've been playing the new one basically non stop.
I assume you're excited for Silksong? I just hope it gets released sometime in the next 10 years.
I've been using it for a few days and really liking it. Not sure if anyone else had a problem with list view looking pretty much the same as card view but that's working properly for me now.
I'd like something that recreates what Reddit is fun was like but Connect is near enough that I can see myself continuing to use it.
Yeah, I really hope we can get past the culture of thinking lemmy is morally superior to reddit and just focus on having something nice here that no CEO can fuck with.
