  • In theory good because we absolutely need interoperability between services.

    In practice I know this is just meta trying to find a way to harvest data on as many users as possible. I hate that if I interact with a user on threads that likely means Facebook is getting my data which sucks because I want the service to be open but I don’t want to subject myself to privacy invasion.

    Plus the whole embrace, expand, extinguish thing which I don’t think is overblown at all. It’s literally how these corporations work by design.




  • Different communities have different needs so I don’t think it’s possible to standardize tags across all of them. Some might not need them, some might not want them.

    Not to mention enforcement of said tag system. Burggit is still relatively small and most communities have 1 or 2 mods. It might get stifling to try and enforce a certain tag system site wide as of now. This is why I decided not to enforce one in my community, I don’t want my already small 20 member community to feel annoyed at having to follow certain naming schemes.

    What we really need is for Lemmy to have a tag system communities can take advantage of. But that’s an upstream issue.


  • I was looking for my first Lemmy instance to call home after the reddit debacle because I wanted access to nsfw content without using Reddit’s garbage app.

    Initially I went to lemmynsfw so I could make a nsfw community freely in case the type of content I wanted (wink wink c/armpits nudge nudge) didn’t exist already. Then I realized they were really restrictive with content so I searched for an instance (literally googled nsfw Lemmy instance lol) that actually allowed freedom with nsfw content and here we are. I’m happy here with my little niche.
