I believe kbin allows you to do this, but not Lemmy. Lemmy seems to be very focused on the communities aspect of things.

If both a group-centric UI as well as the ability to follow microblogging users is important to you, consider checking out kbin.social.

It’s a boxing octopus. You’ll never convince me otherwise.

I think it’s both. The dev says it’s something he’s experimenting with - kbin is very early in development - and who knows if that will stick or not.

Links Awakening should have demonstrated to Nintendo that the 2d games will still sell on a hybrid console. They could be pumping out new 2d titles and remakes every few years to fill those gaps between 3d releases and make everybody happy.

Full and mutual interoperability just means everything develops toward the same feature sets, which probably isn’t what we want.

Core features should always be interopable, of course, but we don’t want to box developers in.

I don’t know, I think having tech groups that are more interested in social issues than the technology itself is a good thing. Way, waaaay too many tech folks keep unleashing hell on the world because they don’t care to consider the impacts of what they make or do.

Mozilla’s issue really seems to be more one of conflict of interest. They need funding, and the only way they seem to be able to reliably get it is to be and remain compromised.

Wow. I thought it was bad when I got a week-long suspension for telling an admin, who was not using their admin account, to fuck off because he was sea-lioning me in a discussion thread. But perma-banned because you visited someone?

Ridiculous.

No, they’re pointing out to people who claim the label “apolitical” that that’s both a political stance and a privilege that not everyone gets to have.

lemmy.ml is also run by communists, as are quite a few other instances, I imagine. No one’s really saying that communists should be blocked.

But lemmygrad is specifically a vanguard edgelord site. Even those of us who are communists don’t necessarily want to deal witih /c/GenZedong.

Plus, I left the instance I host for me and my friends open to lemmygrad, and I had people from the server create accounts and just bulk subscribe to communities there.

It’s not the communism people are blocking it for.

Nah, this is major investors and exec whipping each other up over employees gaining some amount of power over their lives. They’ve become paranoid that we’re working multiple jobs, or that we’re doing laundry, or watching porn, or doing housework, or whatever else when they “own” our time.

Investors like layoffs; they look like trimming the fat. They don’t like resignations; they look like people fleeing a sinking ship.
