            Just shows how unimportant the company behind the interface is, they’re just letting users create all the community and content and use their IP to take all the money, but the platform itself is of little value these days, when some random dude can create the exact same thing from his attic in an afternoon.

              I’m glad he did it because it helped push me out the door.

        That was a trip. As simple as the UI is it somehow never occurred to me it could be copied.

          I used their original spritesheet when I redesigned the css for r/unresolvedmysteries.

              Instance owners can have full control over who they federate with. From the start, the mainstream in the Fediverse has had a tolerant, open-minded and positive mindset. Over time instances that don’t follow this (e.g. by promoting hate speech) are defederated, leaving mostly decent discourse. Users that try to join instances that follows the Fediverse ethics while not belonging, and try to spread hate, get banned.

              We’re still in early days but this will keep happening until the verse is wide and large, and you can choose your own little corner that aligns with what you want, whether that’s more like what we have today, or the opposite end of the spectrum, but for now we get to enjoy to still have mostly only tolerant instances, and the nasty ones are defederated into oblivion.

                kind of like when back in usenet days a usenet server could choose to not include certain newsgroups, such as someone not wanting to store all the data for alt.binaries.pron.hamsters on their server or whatnot?

            weird mispelling of “developers and initial server admins have actual prosocial politics instead of standard tech libertarian nonsense, setting the stage for effective moderation”

            (defederation wouldn’t have helped much if Lemmy was full of Nazi chuds when the reddit migration happened)
