While yes red hat may try something like that, they also maintain lots of packages and develop technologies that fedora uses, so fedora is still benefiting from said arrangement. It is a trade off here, but I would argue it’s more than worth it as it’s better to be free qa and get decent software than not be anybody’s qa but either not have or have poor quality software.
I disagree. The only reason we don’t need the /s here is because this is largely a community of like-minded individuals so we understand when sarcasm etc is in use as it doesn’t align with what we can assume they would believe. This is a dangerous thing. Without anyone to provide new opinions we slowly become more and more comfortable with our more extreme opinions and even more extreme ones become palatable. Additionally no one sees flaws in arguments as everyone just agrees and doesn’t pick at it to find issues. This creates not only an extremist community surrounding Lemmy, but also creates a social stigma surrounding it as human biases promote the extremes in our memory (same principle that many news sites use with outlandish articles). This means we will grow as a platform in an unhealthy way, only taking in new people like us and rejecting anyone who disagrees (even though disagreement is important) as well as slowly drifting towards the extreme ourselves (confirmation bias plays a big role here). This is the same reason big communities of liberals and conservatives have each respectively grown so much farther apart since the rise of the internet allowed them to convene with larger groups of likeminded individuals than in any other period of time in the United States. This sentiment in your post here is a symptom of a larger problem with the fediverse as a whole, even if it seems nice right now. I don’t know what can be done to remedy it.
I’m on iOS using mlem, which has so far been the best app I’ve used for it. It used to be somewhat unpolished and lacking, but in the latest update most of the bugs have been ironed out and the image viewer is in existence. Lemma also looks really promising although it’s still in early early development. For mastodon I use ice cubes although for my uses of mastodon I might just download an rss reader.
Where can I find these “filters” that do this? All I can find are ones that give me massive google eyes and a top hat!
If it consists of more than one nation it is international, so they ain’t wrong. That doesn’t quite make it right though.
Beeper is looking pretty awesome. It (and things like BlueBubbles) are allowing me to switch to android, and I love it. Can’t wait for my new phone to arrive!
