I’m not against the idea but I don’t personally use this. It could be useful in certain edge case, for instance in very tricky formatting situation in a rich text editor.

One thing that is annoying is doing it by accident, especially if you don’t realize it and continue editing so now you can’t undo either.

Also, this feature should live update as you drag stuff around, not only once you release the button.

Give up is my middle name Fuck “give up” That McGee the 3rd

That 15k big community, 5k dissidents and sub100 irrelevant.

Actually that’s a clear demonstration of the system’s failure.

There should be 2500 politics, not 3. And you shouldn’t need to post in 3 nor 2500 to reach the 20k people.

This is because if you click on this /c/politics Which you can’t because it’s broken But if you could, you should see everything in every 3 or 2500 politics community.

But you can’t. So if you want to be heard then the big community is the place you shpuld always post, unless your a dissident, in which case you will only have a 75% handicap and have to hope the dissidents don’t also hate because then it is game over.

Btw multireddits dobt fux this, because there would only be 40 people that took the tine to setup an account multireddit of the 10 biggest ones. And 0 would add the 2500 politics communities.

Frictionless migration of communities and users

Subscription based, crowd source moderation (that everyone is expected to contribute to)

And automatic aglomeration of all fediverse wide same name communities on /c/communityname

Or bust

And its going to bust, because that means instance owned ceding their structural power and tge moderator delegates ceding their systemic power

Ain’t gonna happen

Enjoy living in the farm!

Yes, lemmy still concentrates power in the hands of instance owners and their moderation delegates. This structures all discourse and communitiesin a certain way, discourage experimentation, alternate topics and viewpoints but instead focuses attention toward, for each topic, “the one big community” and its contingent idiosyncrasies.

Only way around this is transparent multiserver communities and frictionless account and community server migration.

Without this the same structure of power will always replicate itself.

Try another planet which is not on fire, sorry for going all political on you!

Duplicate communities aren’t a replacement for subscribing to moderation. If we split a community in 10’000 pieces it would not really make sense to call what remains “a community”.

Even now when a community has a schism and you get only one alternative, that community gets split in something like 90/10 and it becomes a distinct community, not just a choice to ignore top mod’s authoritarianism. In partice most modetators remain impeachable and their abilitt to shape what the community is unchallengeable without everyone facing nearly insurmoubtable friction, like the need to entirely reorganize as a group and basically start over the community.

Ultimately lemmy and reddit exist to concentrate soft power of persuasion in the hands of a few and this is structurally, systematically assured and I don’t think this will ever change on lemmy, we’re already in too deep.

This is the future for the next decade. It will not change without going through the cycles of abuse over and over while the moderators will suppress any public awareness of their biases and abuses, suppress any form of organizing against them and this will continue until the unignorable stench becomes impossible to ignore. Until then, just suck up to whatever the mods tell you to believe, keep your head down and just try to survive.

They are socially stunted gremlins, they don’t really understand what other humans are

The niderators ARE the problem. Their task is impossible and futile. Everyone has to do it and that means the infrastructure for it will not exist as long as a team of idea shaping moderators stands in the way.

We need

Locally running open source content discovery algo

Locally running user reputation evaluation

Subscribeable moderation actions

Crowd sourced reputation weighted moderation

The ability to tune all those setting under the hood

I very well understand the trappings if soft power, of buying leverage and market dumping to buy market share.

You seem to be under the illusion tgat those things aren’t the very cancer at tge heart of tech.

You need to step aside, my bulldozer has a date with microsoft datacenters and we’re having pancakes, concrete pancakes with demonic server stuffing in between the layers.

Microsoft is a scourge and we be better off if it was nuked off the face of this planet. They are the principal cause of why computing has been and remains shiite since they began to exist. Their farcical speculative value based on gambling make-believe stock market is the bad argument. When it comes ti microsoft the only problem is that it’s not being exterminated fast enough and also is the worst hypervisor except for vmware and also makes every other hypervisor worse by it’s simple existence. Curse the demonic plague known as bill gates, may he be sent back to the windows eleventh circle of hell !

But microsoft is garbage company so that doesn’t say much. They’ve been trying to remake their settings page for more than a decade and it is still shit.

He meant to say “In portal”

It is consideted crass by the megarich to use their new money to overtly purchase politicians. They prefer to do it behind closed doors, mostly to keeo them cheap

People in the future will wonder the thing. Kind of like a cosmic rickroll

That’s the only one that actually looks like a lemmy
