I wonder if they’ll replicate the feature where a strange voice whispers your name (amongst other odd sounds) if you’re playing in the early hours.

Scared the crap out of me when that happened.

Edit. Evidence https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6529 to show I’m not mad.

How about you assume less? I spent 40+ minutes looking for this here, here, here and here and I’m already fairly familiar having done work on two other ActivityPub based projects.

In addition public-addressing (or the lack of use thereof) in no way claims to achieve what you’ve stated - which is probably why it’s not the answer to my query.

Ahh, didn’t even know there was a flag for that. I don’t suppose you could link to the relevant w3c or FEP for it?

All votes are public, they’re literally broadcast to the Fediverse writ large. You vote on something on your server, your server then tells the server owning the thing you voted on and that server then tells anyone who is interested (subscribers on other servers). That way everyone knows that this comment was voted on, but that information is indelibly tied to you - an entity on the Fediverse.

Lemmy devs just chose not to a) show that information in a UI (plenty of other software out there does) and b) not inform people that was the case. Which leads to the whole point of the thread, hiding this from users merely gives a false sense of security.

You say that, but you simply have to be using something that isn’t Lemmy and that information is there (doubly so if you’re an admin on any of these systems)

Except, if you’re using anything other than Lemmy at this point that information is already about. The Likes/Dislikes are considered public information by the protocol. Lemmy devs probably just didn’t get around to building out the UI for that before the Reddit APIcolypse.

Envious tbh.

I’m reading this scratching my head going “If your unit tests need a database they ain’t a unit test”.

but humanity is evil too

Emphasis on this. We humans have become Xenophobic Christofascists* turned up to 11. All aliens are bad** and anything against established doctrine is heresy of the highest order. Human labour is essentially free vs the gross expense of materiel so the leadership will think nothing of having entire generations of a planet mine out some toxic substance that kills before you age much past the ability to outbreed it.

In short, anyone who claims humans are the good guys, is misguided at best.

*EmperorFascists as the ruler is the Immortal God Emperor.

** Officially, but there exists means and people who can deal a little more diplomatically than with a gun.

All your followers would see it and sometimes you don’t want replies?
