Ideas and opinions are NOT identifiable information, unless you’re so smart to as openly writing your personal data on a public forum (something noone should ever do, it’s even bannable on reddit), your comments and posts do NOT contain and personally identifiable info, only your account does.
True, but the language is independent from that.
I mean, the language itself has a set of “features”, not all of them are implemented on all platforms as you rightfully said, but it’s not that the language changes because there are differences in the implementations.
Markdown is not Lemmy tho, it’s a markup language independent of the platform, like HTML, reddit uses it as well, also github and mediawiki (wikipedia) and many others.
While each platform can provide formatting help, it’s not the entire language, have a look here: https://www.markdownguide.org/
Who controls the Overseer Control?
That’s interesting, tho I’d rather have that info seen by admins only, it could lead to brigading/harassment otherwise IMO.
all personal data from EU users must remain in the EU
Create your account on a EU server, problem solved.
Lemmy (fediverse in general) doesn’t send account data away, and posts don’t qualify as personal data, when you publish something to the internet, it’s public by definition.
Yeah, very difficult situation, I truly hope they’ll find the help they need.
Heya! :)
I think it’s a matter of habit.
I mean, all this new stuff is certainly confusing, overwhelming even, I still don’t get how all these different instances can “talk” to each other like there were one, and several other things I don’t get yet.
But I was very confused about reddit terminology as well when I joined reddit 8 years ago, then I learned and it became second language to me.
I believe this is the same, I believe we shouldn’t try to understand everything in a day, just learn a bit at a time, ask questions, ask for help if we’re stuck or feel frustrated, and in time it will become so natural that we’ll stop thinking about it.
I’m wondering the same.
I mean, anyone with a bit of sense knew beforehand the AMA would have been a disaster, it actually turned out to be even worse than many people imagined.
At first I thought he wanted to do it anyway to play victim, something like “see?? I wanted to talk they didn’t listen!”
But seeing how utterly stupid his answers were, I couldn’t make any sense of it, you’re probably right, “egotistical rage” is the only logical answer at this point.
Haha true, his AMA was especially fantastic in pissing off everyone so people now are flooding lemmy and other alternatives :D
If you mean multi-reddit I haven’t seen anything like it yet, tho I’m pretty new myself (reddit refugee as well).
There is something like reddit personal hompage, you go to individual communities and you can subscribe to them, then on top of your page there’s “Subscribed | Local | All” buttons, click on Subscribed and that’s your homepage, “All” is similar to reddit all.
That’s very helpful!
My 2cents: I would expand on “Please avoid joining instances that are already crowded”, new users might not know which ones they are.
I mean, from the perspective of redditors used to subs counting millions of users, no server on lemmy appears crowded, so I think actually giving numbers could help, something on the line of, please join servers with less than 1K users, if it makes any sense.
Or maybe actually suggesting specific names of instances that are more general purpose and not overcrowded yet, I personally joined lemmy only yesterday and I would have no idea of which they are, my only “parameter” was choosing a server with less than 500 users because I saw lemmy.ml saying they were overloaded, so I chose lemmy.world instead.
Other users may not pay that much attention so I believe the more specific the guide is on this, the better for everyone.
There is no way someone can link your username to who you are in person, unless it’s you who write it out.
Laws don’t protect people from themselves.
