I’m testing out the latest release, Lemmy 0.18.2. So is anyone using Lemmy.nz because it’s been updated.
If you use the website, be sure to check out the themes if you haven’t already. I’m not sure if they came in this release or a previous one that I didn’t notice but there are a bunch of new ones.
Yeah I knew about the couple of themes but I saw something weird with the theme when doing a test run of the update, which led me to finding all the new themes. I haven’t looked in a while so it could have easily been there for a couple of versions, but it sounds like it’s new.
So, one thing I’ve learnt it that everyone has a different opinion about everything. Oddly, the more te reo I learnt the less comfortable I was using it (as an example, when you first start learning you learn a pepeha, ko X toku maunga, ko X toku awa, etc. But the more I learnt the less comfortable I was in using this format and instead learnt other formats that avoided these kids of phrases).
So where I’m going with this is that, in my opinion, you shouldn’t translate names. Your name is your name. If there’s someone called Tama, when you are speaking English their name is still Tama. Therefore, I don’t think you should translate Dave to Rewi. If you were learning te reo in a classroom, with enough teachers you would definitely find a difference of opinion on this! So much so that I considered not posting this, but it’s written out now so I might as well post it.
I wasn’t offended! Just thought I’d mention my thoughts on it.
While the Māori alphabet has less letters, it’s pretty common in any language to just say words in their original language when it makes sense. For example, while most languages will have a term for New Zealand, when someone speaks e.g. French, they will probably just say “Auckland” when talking about Auckland.
I hope I haven’t come across like I’m lecturing. I’m by no means an expert, my comments are intended as discussion points not as the final word on the matter.
News stories don’t just pre-exist somewhere out there, walking around intact and whole, waiting for an equal chance to step through the door of a media outlet and into the public arena....
Hi all, thanks for all the feedback today. I have put together this code of conduct as a starting point. We can of course modify it over time as needs change, but it would be good to hear if this is on point based on the discussion, or if it needs more work....
The aim was to have as few rules as possible. I wanted just one (don’t be a dick) but others with more experience at handling communities that occasionally get hate speech etc spoke up about how important it was to make it clear what kind of community we are (and so our not many rules is not conflated with say whatever you like). We compromised, but given Lemmy’s pre-reddit migration reputation I feel it was a good call to flesh it out a bit more than the single rule.
This post is almost a month old (very old in terms of reddit->lemmy migration), and this draft became our official code of conduct (posted here: lemmy.nz/post/63098).
Yeah I’ve had prior warning about that. Currently it hasn’t been an issue, but as we grow I can feel tides changing. It will surely come up eventually.
