Screw community names, I want instance agnostic URLs for posts and comments.

Right now lemmy.ml/comment/123456 and lemmy.ml/comment/123456 are two different comments, and there is no simple way to find one comment on another instance (so you can interact with it from your logged in account). What we should have is lemmy.ml/comment/123456@lemmy.world to point to a comment made on another instance, then you can just change the instance name after the @ to find the comment (or post) on any other instance.

Guacamelee??

Super Sopapillas ftw!!

Wait did sh.itjust.works do anything? I thought the story was that beehaw.org cut them and lemmy.world off, but only for people browsing on beehaw.

Make an account in another instance, there are lots of them.

I like to give it slightly wrong answers first, then right answers on the second attempt. Because they’re blatantly using it to train AI (for free, without paying users for their work), I want to poison the data. The first one tells it that it’s guess is wrong, the second one proves I know what I’m talking about - if you do everything wrong it will just discard your training data.

What happens to your account on a federated server if that one fails though?

Madlad.

The CEO is an absolute bastard. He’s twisted the words of his “friend” Aaron Swartz, the real founder of the site, and bastardised his creation while trashing his legacy.

The blackout isn’t pointless, it’s just not yet enough. Reddit needs to die, and the blackout is a step towards that. It started as a way to try and get admin to change, and in that respect it has and will fail, but it is the first step to reddit going the way of digg.

We could use alternatives, but Lemmy is the best!

Yeah I agree, but the trouble is you can’t just download from github. You have to also download YouTube from google (and a specific older version at that) and then use ReVanced to modify - and that’s if it even works for you. This creates a barrier to entry that many people just won’t bother with.

It can’t go on FDroid because it uses Google code. You have to download the official YouTube app and then use ReVanced to modify it.
