I think whatever rules are made won't matter if there can be another server that breaks them and moderation is not something you can subscribe to. The simple reason: scaling. Reddit used to be OK, until facebook did something stupid and suddenly facebook users swarmed the site.
Mastodon is currently going through this: it was pretty tame before Musk + Twitter happened. Twitter is the biggest trashcan I've ever seen and now the trash is migrating. Currently they are mostly sane people migrating, but the twitter mannerisms have already settled in: harrassing mastodon developers, "twitter had this feature, why doesn't mastodon have it", "I'll block anybody with X in their profile", "if you're with X then you aren't with Y --> block", etc.
The same happened to a few forums I was on - eternal september arrived and the quality dropped.
I've dabbled with Linux over the years, first with Ubuntu in the early 2010s, then Elementary OS when that dropped, and a few years ago I really enjoyed how customizable the gui was with Xubuntu. I was able to make it look just like WIndows 2000 which was really cool....
Hey there. Just started my journey with lemmy and am not so much a fan of using it in a browser. Is there some linux app I might try? (I use arch btw.)
I'm curious, what's wrong with the web version? I have a feeling that were GUI application written, it would use Electron or Tauri - aka a waste of resources to use an entirely new browser instance instead of a tab.
I'm just expressing my dislike of electron and tauri, but honestly curious about your reasons :) Everyone's allowed to have their preference
How do I comment on mastodon stuff?

What do you care about most in an online community?
What matters to you most? I'm not sure I know the answer myself, but I'm curious what you all think.
Which distro has the best GUI in your opinion?
