  • Good on you for owning up and best of luck. You did well being transparent about your process. I’m going to add two things about generative AI:

    • Writing is thinking. If you’re interested in thinking, then be all means do it yourself. You don’t need to have perfect grammar, syntax and such. Lots of extraordinary authors don’t. Strive for improvement, don’t worry about perfection.
    • Absolutely beware of generative AI’s biases. They may actually amplify their sources’ biases while occluding them. AI text is just rehashed human text, with all that it entails.

  • I’m not going to read in detail a text you can’t be assed to write in detail. From a glean I’ll say two things:

    • Your alternative voices are basically all privileged white guys commenting carefully from the sidelines. How is that a counterbalance to Chinese activists literally disappearing? You know what it means to disappear in China, right?
    • The common thread of your text is one massive, obvious false dilemma. It’s common knowledge that China is under a repressive regime, that the POTUS gives clear signals of envying such regimes, AND that democracy has issues. We can and do talk about all of them.





  • I agree with you that failing to support multiple browsers is an old problem, but I think the cause has shifted.

    Back in the last century, supporting both browsers amounted to sniffing the browser and implementing the same feature twice. document.layers vs document.all for example.

    Nowadays I think the problem is different: we just don’t know what’s going on. The site is transpiled from TypeScript, written on top of React or Vue which drastically switches paradigm (bonus for Tailwind), packed with building tools, and the average dev has little understanding of what actually comes out. It’s a tall stack of leaky abstractions on top of the already tall one of the web. The dev is pretty sure it works on Chrome so they say it does work there, but it was not even a deliberate choice.



  • I think yall (the mod team) still misunderstand what you did wrong. You’re just repeating yourself. The problem is not that you failed to announce the migration, it is that you thought it was your choice to make, and that it even was an actionable decision. The fediverse, with each instance having it’s own communities, userbase and set of alliances & blockades, does not afford for unilateral deportation of a community.

    Furthermore as moderators of a community you’ll always have to deal with instance admins. The fact you can’t cope with Ada’s safe space policy is a bad look. Quoting one debatable decision as “proof” is not helping. Your perception that you are somehow immune to ever disagreeing lemmy.world’s admins is strange.


  • What rotten news.

    If you want to move to some big reddit-like instance, then you move you and let the ones that what to meme in a safe space do it. As you’ve noticed, communities can’t be moved to other instances. I would ask you to kindly take the hint.

    imho you should simply start your far reaching 196 elsewhere and leave this one to be modded by someone else. Not everybody is fond of playing in traffic.
