Thanks, I didn't notice that before. Looking at the modlog, I'm guessing may have actually been for the use of a t*rd suffix ... I think? The log doesn't really get specific enough.

Yet, in the thread I presumed it was for, another user not only used a full-on r-word but also directed it at another user. They are still active and posting.

Hmm....

Where do you find this info?

[–] RagingNerdoholic@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Shadowbanned may have been the wrong term. I think it's actually just an account lockout.

By all objective measures, so did the person replying to me. They're still galavanting around lemmy advocating for murder.

 

Meanwhile, another account is still out promoting murder as of less than an hour ago. Boy, lemmy sure is a great alternative to reddit.

Seriously, what the fuck?

Edit: not shadowbanned, but account lockout/suspension. Would be nice to receive some sort of notice.

Yeah, I gotta be honest, it works really poorly here, especially when viewing all/hot. It's just constantly loading new posts and pushing down and off-screen whatever you're trying to read or click. It's frankly unusable.

This type of thing should be a user setting, not a site wide setting, IMO.

Yep, this is exactly what I meant. Just the option to disable auto post loading so you see whatever posts where loaded at the time you initially opened the page. If I want to see new posts, I can hit reload myself.

Well, I'm here, aren't I?

It should say "fuck reddit" where they join hands.

Forearms. It's always forearms.

I mourn what it was, yes.

There was a recent comment I read about how it's become this incredible resource for the most obscure tech issues and they were reluctant to delete their posts and accounts because they'd receive random messages of thanks years after a tech resource post was made.

And it's true. Reddit has become an invaluable resource for these kinds of things. Not only that, but it's one of the few places that exists on the web where cohesive and coherent discussions even exist. It was always the community and discussion that made reddit great and they want to turn it into yet another swipebait infested serotonin sponge. I sincerely hope lemmy can take its place, but there are going to be some major growing pains if we get big influx of "redfugees."

It almost makes me think that when something becomes such an enormous and invaluable public resource, there should be a legal compulsion to archive it before doing anything that will compromise its accessibility.___

After hearing the call audio — and I am not defending spez here — I can actually understand how it might have been initially perceived as a "threat" given the context of the conversation. It was a mix of technical and financial negotiations (or really just spez saying "this is how it is, you can suck it") and Christian was speaking metaphorically about Apollo's API calls being "noisy" and (at least how I understood it) was suggesting perhaps "quiet" it down by optimizing the software.

I am not trying to victim blame here and it absolutely does not excuse spez turning around and publicly shit talking Christian, especially after spez immediately apologized on the call after admitting to misinterpreting what he heard ... anyway, the point I'm trying to make is that it's important to communicate clearly, directly, and unambiguously.

The headline is still that spez is a greedy sack of shit.

Particularly in the way that lemmy isn't finance bro bullshit

Reddit following in their footsteps shortly after

 

issue: menus are not always immediately apparent

suggestion: style menus like sidebars (outlines and backgrounds)


issue: user menu elements on mobile are jammed against left edge

suggestion: add left padding


issue: content and comments are too narrow on large/wide displays

suggestion: add option to set min and max widths relative to viewport (CSS VW)


issue: main menu (from hamburger button) elements on mobile/narrow displayed as block is unsightly

suggestion: elements should be inline-block until they cannot fit on one line


issue: comment action icons are unnecessarily hidden

suggestion: show all comment icons persistently (could be grouped as [up/down/reply] on left, [message/flag/block/fav/source] on right; could be a user profile option to show/hide additional comment options persistently)


issue: message notification (bell icon) often indicates unread count when all messages are read

suggestion: fix


issue: auto-refresh on posts causes elements to move down as reading when scrolled

suggestion: implement option to disable auto-refresh OR move scroll position down correspondingly to total height of dynamically loaded post elements


issue: (if above feature implemented) must refresh page if auto-refresh disabled

suggestion: add soft-reload button (reloads posts)


issue: [subscribed|local|all] default from user profile doesn't work (always selects local)

suggestion: fix


issue: no function to block a specific community from your feed

suggestion: add function


issue: notifications view has no stateful awareness of viewing mode [unread|all] or [all|replies|mentions|messages]

suggestion: add stateful awareness to enable browser <|> navigation


issue: replying to inbox comment/message does not display after submitting reply

suggestion: display reply to comment after submitting reply


issue: [show context] from inbox comment does not display immediate parent comment

suggestion: [show context] from inbox comment should display immediate parent comment


issue: when viewing context from comment on a non-local instance, you are not authenticated and cannot reply from context

suggestion: implement cross-instance authentication OR link to context in the currently-authenticated instance


issue: [next] buttons have no stateful awareness (displays an empty page when clicked from the last page in a set)

suggestion: [next] should be statefully aware of page and be disabled when viewing last available page


issue: when inbox messages appear as a notification, there should be a button to mark them as read

suggestion: add function


issue: inbox messages are only marked read when explicitly clicking [read] checkmark button

suggestion: messages should be marked read when replying or navigating to context


Hope this helps make some improvements to the UX! :)


EDIT another one while I'm thinking of it: it would be nice for the top toolbar to be fixed at the top so you don't need to scroll back up to use it.
