people really hate when developers are paid for their work huh

I’m really grateful for this series!

yup

It’s a Lemmarr now!

You can still come back!

I think so too and made an issue which I hope will get fixed someday!

I’m talking about WordPress :)

Last time I tried to @ a Lemmy community it didn’t work at all unfortunately.

I’m afraid I’d be even more depressed by the wtf moments in a public organisation, but I am also considering it.

That makes sense, thank you for taking the time to explain your reasons!

Hiya! I just visited this community (!wetshaving@sub.wetshaving.social) and wanted to point out that the daily threads on a tiny community make up more noise than valuable content. The active threads are 100 % bot-generated prompts with 0 replies, which is very discouraging. I’d recommend having at most one per week, and otherwise trying to fill the community with information or questions rather than megathreads like these :)

Being emotionally detached from really stupid leadership decisions is harder than it seems

Yeah, I’d like it too, but I suppose it’s a lot of work.

It’s not supposed to be. It doesn’t jam endless recommendations in your feed once you’ve gotten at the end of the new, fresh content. I feel like it’s a feature, not a bug, to have platforms that don’t optimise for time spent on them, because they don’t need our attention to show us ads.

I think this is fine - people I’ve seen who objected to this kind of project were more about their account being indexed. Projects like respective size of instances were always fine

I don’t really mind, I think it’s nice to give people a reason to join smaller instances anyway, ie. telling them they’ll get the quality content and good vibes of Beehaw if they avoid these two monster instances. But for targeting a large audience, yeah that doesn’t work!

Mostly jlai.lu communities for French content, as well as ! olympics@sh.itjust.works

I also try to get into the habit of sharing my reads on the more appropriate community, and by default !humanities@beehaw.org

games are tabletop games! video games are video games.

Can make smart and educated jokes. Will laugh at fart jokes.

Same here, I love how pretty and useful Fastmail is.
