  • I don’t understand the question. Pretty much all fediverse software was built with federation in mind from the start. They all started from scratch afaik, nothing was built on top of a centralized design.

    They also happen to perform similar functions as earlier centralized websites, but that’s simply because those are the ways that people commonly prefer to use the internet. People use it to share photos, stream videos, connect with friends, microblog, blog, browse content aggregators, etc.

    There could definitely be new paradigms of internet usage waiting to be discovered, but if the fediverse can’t even replace the existing functionality of the web first, it’d be very ambitious to start building brand new types of sites already.




  • That’s true, originally only users that posted or commented were counted as active. Then they changed it to count users who had voted as active, even if they didn’t post or comment.

    But I believe that change occured almost one year ago, in March 2024. You can see a big spike of active users at that time. Starting this January we’ve seen some really nice organic growth, although it’s not nearly to the level of the API exodus. We still need more users, but it’s really encouraging to see some solid growth after over a year of stagnation/slow decline.






  • Amazing that we are already up to 0.19.9 and on the verge of version 1.0.

    The project has come a long way since 0.17.4, when I first joined. Sometimes it felt like it was taking a long time but looking back it seems like it went so fast. Thank you so much to all contributors, especially Dessalines and Nutomic.

    There is still much more to be done, but I also think it’s good to reflect on how far we have come.

    Very nice to see the fix for the spoiler bottom margin, I have been inserting line breaks after spoilers to alleviate that issue for quite some time.

    Uhhhh, hexbear is supposedly like 20% trans or something. They have preferred pronouns baked into the software. Tankies on Lemmy vocally love trans people.

    You don’t actually have any rational explanation for what it is that is problematic about Nutomic, it’s just something you heard somewhere and are blindly repeating.

    I have a very long track record on Lemmy of opposing tankies, so the accusations of being a tankie apologist are easily disproven. At least for those who care enough to actually do their own research, instead of simply parroting whatever gossip happens to float into their ears.
