This is great news! What happens if the Lemmy devs dont accept the changes upstream, though? ๐Ÿ™‚

So we're gonna keep defederating instances every time a user of an instance acts crazy? Until every instance deferates from each other? This is getting absurd... and feels more and more like... high school.

That's an issue for a great feature request. I was thinking more of a globally public display of all upvotes and downvotes a user has. But I think you've addressed why that's not an option deeper in the comments of that issue. Thanks!

They probably wont implement due to potential harrassment from abuse. But you can follow users using Open RSS feeds in meantime. Here's your feed for example:

Any plans for aggregated total of upvote/downvote karma for each user?

Dont think there's accurate tagging of posts going on, so no reliable way for the filtering to be accurate.

So when is this functionality coming?

Nobody knows

In case others are unclear, looks like the OP is talking about this proposal by Google. The post isn't clear about where to find Mozilla's position on it, so here it is.

Despite Mozilla's opposition, there are actually a lot of issues people have opened that oppose the proposal. But what's particularly interesting is that issues are being locked and restricted to only repo members, like this one that talks about how the proposal is an attack on the open web (which I agree with, btw).

Just curious: are all of the requests coming from same IP and user agent?

20+ year programmer and I've never made an account on SO. During the early stages of SO, the idea of making people have to earn a certain amount of SO karma just to ask a question seemed like an odd obstacle to place in front of new users. I get why they may want to do it but decisions like that are already divisive and toxic to being with.

I blame the rise of frameworks, libraries, and IDEs.

My thoughts exactly. Frameworks on top of frameworks with a lot of cruft that will incrementally make software slower and buggy.

That, coupled with the fact that business owners just want things shipped. Quality aside, I dont even think they care about products being good anymore ๐Ÿฅฒ

I was thinking about switching to GitLab. But after reading your comment... not so much.
