More like AITA

Its great, I’d argue its main downfall (lack of popularity) stems a lot from the fact they don’t have any form of API like Wikipedia does. They can’t even agree on a single logo. Otherwise its a great resource.

Its the absolute lack of algorithm. No, really. I know Mastodon toots it as a feature, but without an algorithm to keep people scrolling most people just close the app and do something else. People who don’t understand instances would just go to mastodon.social anyway, but since no mastodon instance is actively trying to keep its users engaged 24/7, people naturally realize they have better things to do than to use social media all say.

Which is better for humanity, but bad for retention.

Damn this unearthed some memories, gotta check their channels out later

IIRC wasn’t it also cause the higher ups cheaped out on personnel and hired a bunch of people who didn’t speak proper Italian, let alone the same language, to man the boat?

The only issue for Firefox’s translator currently is the time it takes to load at first, or the fact you have to download each model first. Its not some monumental task, but it does have more friction than Google’s “automatically send the site you are browsing to our server”

This is actually one of the few cases where it makes sense. Its for alt-text for people who browse with TTS

Hoy shit man this just unlocked so many memories

Lemmy still tends to show posts from ages ago in hot, so some slip by

And also the maintainers being too trusting. They openly discussed pirate ROMs in the server and such.

It would be pretty useless as it is. Even for them. Federation only really mattered for a few people (us), most of their userbase doesn’t care or know so its not like it was meant to be a hook to lead them in.

Maybe its cause its corporate backed instead of some guys? As in, they have tech support and people to sue.

Its not like they weren’t warned or anything. The mods told the community that they got approached for an interview in a pinned post. Declaring they won’t be doing it unless they had someone really really good at speaking.

In comes one of the oldest mods, who genuinely is completely anti all forms of work, from when the sub was actually against the very concept of working, claiming to have media training (they had been interviewed before, through email). And they launch themselves to the occasion and the rest is history.

I’ve gotten to the point I just browse the servers list. Help
