Perhaps. I can't rule out completely the possibility of Lemmy stagnating. In that case as PieFed development progresses, and the feature gap becomes wide, more and more instances shift from one to another. I do think however the Lemmy devs won't simply see their software being replaced without "fighting back" (in a good way).
A third possibility would be specialisation - PieFed and Lemmy still coexisting, but taking different niches.
We need a cosmological law dictating harmful to humans = boring-looking. I mean, it isn't just plutonium, look at uranium yellowcake! It's lemon flavouring!
There's always some silver lining.
I think this increased adoption of PieFed might even benefit instances sticking to Lemmy; Lemmy development will likely speed up, to avoid making Lemmy seem "obsolete" in comparison with PieFed.
Yeah, they didn't propose how those sets of calls appear; only that they're there, in other primates. So no, you aren't missing it.
What I'm going to say is just a guess from my part. Those sets would appear like this:
On #4 you already got a set. But all steps are on their own advantageous for the survival of the group.
However, once you got through all those steps, a problem appears: since the set itself is conveying info, how to ensure the info is not missed? Then you go back to #2, repeating the whole set to ensure others got the message.
Glad you found it; depending on the app the interface might be a bit different.
It's showing it already for me!
It’s absolutely civil behavior
Nah. You're being clearly belittling through the whole thread. Too eager to voice your own opinion, but un-eager to dialogue.
[Before someone distorts the above, be aware plenty communists also do this sometimes. Including myself.]
I was asked for MY definition of it. And I gave it.
What you did is perhaps easier to see from the other side. Pretend you asked a communist their definition of communism, and they answered one of those two things:
#1 is giving you a definition. #2 isn't. What you did there was way closer to #2 than to #1.
And by the context it's clear Nay asked for your equivalent of #1 - because it's known communists and non-communists use the word "communism" to refer to different things.
I speak on authority of my opinions of things because I get to do that.
Someone's opinions can lead them to adopt one or another definition, but the definition itself is not an opinion; they're two different cans of worms. One should not be misrepresented as the other.
I mentioned it in another comment chain, but IMO both Nay and Wren (as a user) were at fault; so while the way Wren as a mod handled Nay was correct, his behaviour as a user was really bad, and part of the reason Nay was rude - this sort of escalation takes two users*. So yes, I'm aware Wren is no voice of justice here.
About your ban, the modlog claims it to be due to "report harassment". It might be bullshit, it might be accurate, dunno; I'd need to see the reports to take any meaningful conclusion. At least your messages (here and here) look fine for me; they're a bit on the rougher side, but both were still within the acceptable IMO.
*before someone calls me out on my own behaviour: yes, I'm aware I do the same sometimes. It's also bad - I'm not pretending to be a saint either.
Reminder there's [email protected]. I'm not affiliated with the mods there, but the comm is really good; I remember posting some orchid for id there and the folks there were quick to lead me to the right direction. If image models are ruining houseplant comms, that one is an exception :)
On-topic: this will get rougher with time. And it isn't just plants; it's everything. You could already generate fictional but realistic images of everything, but those models make it faster and easier, so of course some disingenuous people use it for scams since it doesn't require any sort of skill any more. Eventually I think people will wise up, and learn to not trust images or videos, but while this doesn't happen...
And the same deal applies to text content. Even if the content is human-made, you shouldn't be relying on a single source of info, to begin with; now with text generators you'll get even more babble, so the odds your "single source" is inaccurate raise sharply. For example if you need info on how to care about your pet potato plant you should be seeing a half dozen sites, cross-checking info, and seeing if some of them feel off.
A good chunk of the pic is out of focus, but the centre is really sharp, and really easy to identify. I hope someone does it; dunno which lichen it is, but I've seen plenty of it here (Curitiba city; Cfb climate, South America).
How do you guys get the image visible on the post itself? I need to open it to see it, I must be doing something wrong
You need to insert the location of the image in the field "Image:", when creating or editing the post. In the desktop:
In Jerboa:
In other phone applications it's likely the same. If you just insert the picture in the body of the post, like you did, you won't get it appearing before you open the post.
Your title suggests Lemmy is proprietary which it is not.
Lemmy and KBin are both open source. [implying: "OP suggests Lemmy and/or KBin are not open source"]
*sigh* in no moment the OOP even implies that.
On-topic: PieFed is packed with a bunch of interesting stuff, mentioned by another user in that thread: better resource usage, better mod tools, gallery view, the ability to combine comments from different comms, a multi-reddit-like feature... and, additionally:
I'm actually rather excited for it, because it seems to be progressing at a fast pace.
I don’t feel I behaved as properly as I maybe should have, but I was within the rules.
Nah. t's clear that you were not being civil in that conversation: for example
Those things might not be overtly aggressive, but they rub people off the wrong way; that is not civil behaviour IMO.
