Whitt,

I showed my 7 year old. She was very amused and still does not believe there are any dolphins.

We're the creators of Lemmy, Ask Us Anything. *Starts Monday, 7 Aug, 1500 CEST*

This is an opportunity for any users, server admins, or interested third parties to ask anything they’d like to @nutomic and I about Lemmy. This includes its development and future, as well as wider issues relevant to the social media landscape today....

Whitt,

That’s what xmpp is. It was embraced by Google and Facebook and killed.

Whitt,

I have two currently. I love painting miniatures, I work from home and will do it during my working day when I need a break.

My other fixation is a friend of mine who came back into my life recently. She’s amazing and knows what’s happening. I have a partner who is also amazing and understanding.

Whitt,

I’m no longer a bot 🙂

When I check the post I’ve linked above it only has my two comments and a single reply in one thread.

Checking that same post directly on lemmy.world there are 29 comments across 8 threads.

scientiam, to asklemmy

Will something be done about moderators owning 50+ magazines/communities and counting? Already seeing power mods migrate from Reddit trying to hoard as many communities as possible.

Whitt,

What's the problem with this?

If they can moderate that many groups to the standard each community is happy with is it an issue?

Whitt,

I'm not understanding your concern. If there's a powertripping moderator that's causing trouble there are options. The group can split and migrate elsewhere, just like the reddit migrants have who came here.

The fediverse is much harder to consolidate tightly. There are 5 New Zealand communities for example spread across the fediverse currently. One is large and the rest are tiny. If the mod/admin for the large one started being a dick the users would move elsewhere after a lot of whining. This was not as easy on reddit because there could only be one /r/newzealand. Currently there is newzealand@lemmy.nz, newzealand@lemmy.ml, newzealand@feddit.nz, nz@kbin.social, New Zealand@kbin.social.

If there was a powertripping moderator on a large group like technology@beehaw.org the site admins can remove that mod if it was causing trouble for the overall site.

Whitt,

I have no minds eye at all. There are no voices in my head aside from mine that I can control, no pictures, feelings or other senses.

I pick at my fingers as well, generally when I’m tired or stressed.

Whitt,

It’s different to that, I experience emotions and can express them in real time. However, after if I think back to a memory the emotion is there but like a line written in a book. ‘I was having fun and happy…’, but thinking about that memory will not give me a happy feeling. Talking with my wife she can re-experience the emotion when she recalls a memory.

My memories are like lines of knowledge in a book, everything is a fact and stored as such. It makes me amazing at remembering knowledge, facts and how to do things.

I know lots of stories about my kids as they’re growing up, and yet I cannot recall/remember what they looked like as little kids. I do recognise them most of the time in photos.

Whitt,

I thought that was the same damage working at a desk that does not fit can cause

Whitt,

There are two subs I've seen where the mods we're contacted by the reddit admins and told to reopen or be replaced.

Whitt,

Email has the same problems as federated lemmy servers.

Mail Servers can end up on distrubuted blacklists and unable to communicate with each other. When office 365 has an outage it causes huge problems because it's a single large provider having issues. That provider goes down but not email as a whole.

This is the same as what happened about a week ago when lemmy.ml and lemmy.world went down due to load.

Why was there no official move of any GME sub to the Fediverse

Can anyone explain this to me? There were several issues with Reddit discussed widely in the community, i.e. the brigading rules. Yet, now that Reddit screws over the customer even more with their API stunt, no one cared and the GME subs did not even participate in the Blackout. It would have been the perfect opportunity to...

Whitt,

The are so many bad actors in superstonk and other gme subs they do not want anyone to move or splinter off.

Keep making noise in there and people will start moving over.

Whitt,

One big question I have is where is the money going?

Whitt,

The greatest tool we added at work was Apache Guacamole.

We have it integrated with salesforce and our monitoring software for easy access to servers when it's needed.
