Not many people had their own website in the late 90s

Your post is pretty nonsensical anyway, but if anything more people had their own websites as a proportion of the web, with Geocities and Angelfire etc. This was before social media, so to have a presence on the web you had to have your own site, and people did.

What is “unpaid PTO”?

In the UK we have a thing called references where they call your former employers and confirm your role and dates of work…

Aya is just so good at everything she does, I’m sold already.

It’s easy to ignore when it was dropped. Charges are not convictions.

A lot of people, but a motherboard more bots.

Coffee doesn’t automatically come with sugar, so… Obviously no? What rhetorical point are you even trying to make?

Muslim is not a static or homogenous thing. The majority Muslim bit doesn’t need to change - the majority of Muslims need to become more understanding.

Without explaining the actual problems you have with Firefox on Android, your post is really pointless.

Also, “steadily approaching zero” is an intelligent an analysis as saying Edge is steadily approaching 100% just because its share is increasing.

Mozilla Suite, the thing discontinued seventeen years ago!?

Sure, it’s counterintuitive, but so is not bracketing things in ternary operations.

This is not stated accurately. The American versions of pizza and carbonara we’re invented in the US, but there were and are original Italian versions.

This has come up as part of those requests to migrate accounts between instances. “I want a persona that stays with me for years”… Is that actually a good idea though!?

You can’t block a whole instance yet, may be what you’re thinking of.

Do you know why its Google Play rating is so abysmal? Everyone seems furious about some redesign, but lemmy loves it.

That seems to add a single point of failure for some key functionality. And who owns that server? Can they be bought out by Meta pretending to be a good citizen?

What do you mean by “snag that exact name on Lemmy”? The same community name can be used across multiple instances, so you’d only be snagging it for the instance you create it in.

This is what’s amazing. They could make a good, ad-supported app, but they seem to insist they don’t need to while wondering why everyone’s angry about third party apps going away.

Tags is a cool idea to help users find posts or communities on specific topics.

But taking away the different communities on the same topic is misunderstanding one of the key benefits of the fediverse over Reddit. I might want to talk about horses in a different way, with different people, operating under different rules, to the way others might want to talk about horses. The fediverse allows that, without having RealHorseTalk and RealRealHorseTalk nonsense.

Better UI and categorisation tools, yes. That’ll help make sense of this for new users. But don’t take away an actually positive aspect of the fediverse just to make it look more like Reddit.

This is such a clever part of the protocol. So many different UIs are possible with the same underlying framework and data.
