I understand Steam not wanting to moderate the absolute flood of user-created content of its thousands of games (on their own), but then, it probably shouldn't force community forums on every single one of its games when the developers can't or don't want to moderate them.

(Also, the ADL doesn't recognize the ongoing genocide of Palestinians so maybe we should just ignore what they think.)

This is the source for Godot's documentation. You could clone the repo (in reST format) or download one of the releases (in HTML format) offline, so you wouldn't even need to query anything online.

The real question is not what the algorithm pushes to you, but whether their moderation actually bans bigots and removes their posts. Any other instance would lose their "right" to federate with a queer-friendly instance if they didn't do that, so why would Threads get an exception?

Isn't "queer friendly" and "federates with Threads" an oxymoron?

I don't think that's how it works and it would likely not be legal. By explicitly blocking Threads, you make a big statement about not wanting your instance's posts to show up there. Also from a technical standpoint, I don't think a "middle-man" instance will push posts from another instance to a third one. You'd have to explicitly scrape data that's not available via the API. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I did decide to delete all my comments and posts on Reddit. Sure, maybe I've posted some helpful comments, but why support Reddit with their continued existence? Remove content, and people might move to other sites to get their information.

I also decided to keep my account. Turns out some content stayed around, because I could not see and therefore delete it in locked subreddits. So when they came back, the comments came back too, and I was able to delete them, still.

I'm unable to test this, but I was browsing around and found that in a FontVariation you add "Standard Ligatures" to "OpenType Features" and then disable it. Would that by chance help solve your issue? There's also a similar field in the font import options in "Metadata Overrides".

Regarding what I called a "witch hunt", it seemed like some users quickly jumped on board accusing the previous owner of the libertyhub community of intentionally misgendering a user, when it appeared to be a singular slip up ("you" instead of "You"), that he quickly apologized for and fixed. Maybe there were valid concerns regarding the moderation of that community and it was indeed the right choice for the owner to step down – I am totally missing the context for this – but I felt like there was a large focus on the wrong issue that might've driven him away from Lemmy.

As a spectator with no stake in what happened, except of course wanting people to feel comfortable, I feel like two things were still left unaddressed:

  • It looked like the owner of the affected community was driven out by something that almost resembled a witch hunt, with accusations that appeared to be unfounded or even maliciously pushed by people opposing the views or moderation style of the community.

  • There was a particular user who stood out to me because they tried to respond to as many posts as possible, seemingly fueling the drama, or at least actively pushing their opinion on everyone. I feel like this is not the appropriate way to interact in such a forum, nor healthy for that individual.

What did the admins do or are planning to do in regards to these concerns?

Something else to consider in place of or in addition to a build number could also be using the git commit hash of what you're building. Though I would only use that for non-stable releases.

For example, stable versions of Zig look like 0.12.1 and then there's in-development releases like 0.13.0-dev.351+64ef45eb0. It uses semantic versioning where the "pre-release" is dev.351, which includes an incrementing build number, and the "build metadata" is 64ef45eb0, the commit hash it was built from. The latter allows a user to quickly look up the exact commit easily and thus know exactly what they're using.

  1. There is the --download-sections option. Looking at it, you might want to use --download-sections "*0:00-1:00".
  2. I briefly checked with --list-thumbnails and it doesn't look like YouTube offers any square ones, so I would look into using ImageMagick to edit the image with a command. I doubt yt-dlp allows you to do any sort of image manipulation out of the box.

For the unfamiliar (like me), Xenia is chilling with Kiki the Cyber Squirel, the mascot of the FOSS painting program Krita.

 

I don't see a way to block individual users' posts from showing up in my feeds. There is no "Block" button on any user's page like there is for communities. For some reason I thought there was a way to do this before, but maybe I was just using another frontend? I see some users are blocked when checking my settings. I made sure to disable uBlock Origin to check if it could be an element hiding rule.

For the record these aren't rule breaking users or anything, but instead bots that automatically post things, some of them pulling links straight from reddit. I prefer my Lemmy being populated by humans.

Thank you!

 

Create Aeronautics, along with other mods from the "Create Simulated" family, are addons for Create that push the mod into the realm of physics. This video talks about the state of the mods, what to expect, and some teaser clips and pictures.

There was also a blog post by the creators themselves that contains some of the same information and teasers, if you prefer that format.
