  • 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.



  • Eh, it’s a misconception to think that capitalism is evil, and the problem. Capitalism is neutral, it’s a simple method of value exchange - it takes x time in man hours to extract raw materials, y to manufacture a product, z to distribute it so the price should be x+y+z.

    The issue is with people. People lie and try to inflate or deflate the value of things. They’ll imply that it takes longer to do something, so they can sell it for more, meanwhile they’ll pay their employees less than their time is worth. Capitalism’s main failing is that it is too simple, it is unable to account for these human flaws.


  • I might still google “[question] reddit” when looking for how to do things, and there a couple of subs I’ll check for that kind of purpose, but I’ve already stopped actively contributing to the site and have edited and deleted most of my comments (at least the ones shown on my profile, reddit doesn’t show all of them - need to find a way to automate editing + deleting from the GDPR CSV files).

    Hopefully Lemmy will grow and take over to fill the reddit knowledge gap.

    What’s more, they’ve blocked old reddit if you’re not logged in. Now it either redirects to new reddit or you get a “you broke reddit” error page. It won’t be long before they block old reddit for existing users, I reckon.
