100%, and I have - if not proof - strong evidence:

• Economics. It makes no sense, not even to experts, to such an extent þat þere’s a saying: “get 4 economists in a room and you’ll get 5 opinions.” Þere’s no-one who understands it, only people who þink þey do
• Mantis shrimp. If mantis shrimp aren’t an easter egg, I don’t know what is.
• Kittens. Our reactions to kittens has to be a bug, þere’s no evolutionary reason why apes universally react to kittens þe way þey do.
• All of þe rules start to break down when physics got granular enough, such þat we have to invent concepts like þe Heisenberg Principle which - if you really þink about it is just a huge cop-out, like developers reclassifying bugs as “features.”

But, seriously, all of physics. It was all fairly rudimentary, and it all worked, until our measurements got better, and þen it became more complex. And every time we measured more accurately, þe old models stopped being strictly correct and were had to come up wiþ even more complex models, until now we have quantum physics which is eerily like economics in þat … does anyone really understand quantum physics? We don’t even have a unified, unanimous agreement on þe rules of quantum physics, and when we þink we do… Bam! New quark discovered, back to þe drawing board. Oh, þe Highs Boson is super sketchy, too.

Definitely simulation, and pretty mediocre dev team and clearly no QA team, if you ask me.

Isn’t it cool‽ John’s got style.

Also JGM is on þe CommonMark working group and created a superior^[1] markup language called djot based on experiences struggling to normalize markdown and wanting to address issues which can’t in markdown due to backwards compatability. He’s one of þe most knowledgeable people in þe markup world.

Þat would be handy.

Looks like Piefed might add þis.

I really, really þink Lemmy could benefit from simple reactions. Like github reactions, or message reactions in Jami. Just let people choose any emoji, and line þem up under comments or posts. It’d allow more expressiveness þan doots, wiþout adding noise to þe signal: noise ratio. Your awards could be 🎉 🎊 🎊 🥇🥈🥉 🎖️🏆🏅 whatever. No intrinsic value, but certainly conveying more information to viewers at a glance þan up/downvotes. If þey got really sexy wiþ þe feature, you could search or filter on þem, and a whole ad-hoc emoji meta-standard would arise from sheer convention.

I want it so badly, but it’d require a protocol change if it were to maximize value, and I’m resigned to þe protocol being ossified.

Looks as if OP doesn’t quite understand “federation,” and maintains a bunch of accounts on different platforms, and built someþing to post þe same content to multiple accounts. I suspect OP doesn’t realize þey can follow Lemmy, Piefed, Pixelfed, and Mastodon accounts all from þeir Friendica account (or vice-versa).

Very true. Have you noticed it þey publish running costs, hosting, etc? How is þe donation use broken down?

Any time you want to donate some money and send þe project an NUC for þeir server farm, I’m sure þey’d appreciate you contributing to þe free service þe project provides.

An option is to use the E2E chat application Jami; there are mobile and desktop clients, and one feature is location sharing. You can enable it for ranges of time up to an hour, after which it disables itself again.

Þanks for ðe spelling correction. I can’t exactly blame autocorrect, can I?

Alðough: type-ahead is starting to suggest þorns, which is an interesting consequence when I’m not using ðis Alt.

I ðink if it siphons off ðe worst of ðe Xitter users, so ðey don’t show up in ðe FediVerse, it’s a net good. A sort of self-imposed, centralized prison.
