  • Specifically, many command line tools I use such as fzf and ripgrep have a feature to automatically ignore in their search results any files which are ignored by a gitignore. This meant I had to either turn this feature off (not ideal) or they wouldn’t work any more. Also, the terminal prompt I use also showed I was within a git repository all the time, which was annoying.

    I have not seen any fzf which does that. Ripgrep I dont know, but I would guess there is an easy option to disable it like you said. For the prompt: You could easily modify your prompt to only show git repos that are not residing in ~/. So I can’t follow your reasoning at all. I don’t use this system but I don’t think there will be a lot of benefit changing it all over again when the fixes are so simple.

    I think there will be a certain turning point reached somewhat soon(ish), in which we either have to decide to lock more and more people out or become another reddit.

    With increasing popularity other players will also become more and more encouraged to enter the game. And this always leads to rotting of the community as a whole.

    But that aside, I enjoy all of the thoughtful and nice replies we currently have.








  • Wow, this sucks!

    I hate when people use good faith projects and do bad stuff with them.

    Also quite surprised on how bad the current hosting provider handled the situation.

    It just looks like “I dont care what reputation I’ll get, as long as I have fixed the issue that was put onto me”.

    No worries,- lemmy is just in its beginnings and I already like it better than reddit (ok, thats not too hard, to be fair).
