Still a bit early to announce it on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca , but I thought it was worth sharing here.
Note that I had to use my alts to federate it to most instances, as Lemmy-federate doesn't support Piefed (or at least, Piefed.social isn't enrolled)
Thank you @Snoopy@piefed.social !
Nice!
I still have not tried PieFed yet but I always find myself cheering it on whenever I see it.
It has great potential
There is also:
I'm not too keen on Piefed because it's written in Python, which is multiple times less than Rust (what Lemmy is written in) for a server back-end application. It just seems like a waste of electricity or adding more carbon to the atmosphere than it should, for a widely-used server application.
Edit: "less [performant]" - missed a word there.
I've come off seeing a lot of people express dissent in a rather acidic manner, so I just appreciate that you have stated an opposing view in a way that is informative, and a lot less "anyone who disagrees is [bad thing]", "I will say that anyone who approves of [thing I don't] masturbates to it as a way to be hurtful and insulting", "you disagree? I will position you as overly emotional and myself as the realist by saying 'Cope'", etc.
You've made me curious about various programming languages' efficiency, specifically in how choice of language might affect resource consumption. Not just CPU cycles but carbon and electricity. And I'm actually going to look into it instead of feeling put off enough by vitriol that I just wash my hands of the entire disagreement and walk away. +1, this is how you disagree online.
Yes, I may be venting my feelings about seeing too many people being mean online.
Thanks for your thoughtful reply! I feel similarly about mean replies online, which is why I usually try not to contribute to that trend. If nothing else, I at least try not to escalate arguments.
Regarding programming languages' efficiency, it's a pretty interesting topic to consider in this time of climate change. There can be trade-offs like for example in the case of Python vs. Rust, while you gain a lot in terms of performance and resource utilization with Rust, you lose a lot in terms of development speed, from what I understand (I have not programmed with Rust yet, nor any large projects with Python). I hope that more programmers begin to consider these factors when picking a language to develop with.
Take care.
That was a nice comment
What is your stance on Mbin?
great, now I'm subscribed to 4 communities called "fediverse" :D (the one you linked to and the ones on lemmy.ml, lemmy.world and lemmy.zip)
lemmy.zip
I was hoping to get that one to become the LW alternative, but after the mod asked me to become a mod and I declined, but suggested to create a meta post to call for more mods, they told me they prefer to not have meta posts on that community.
Well, fine, you make the rules, I guess I'll post somewhere else.
Note that this was also why !globalnews@lemmy.zip and !world@quokk.au never consolidated, the mods of both communities just wanted to keep theirs
@PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat , IIRC at some point you volunteered to join the mod team of !globalnews@lemmy.zip , did that ever went anywhere?
Did I? I don't even remember this... if I did volunteer I don't think it ever went anywhere no.
they told me they prefer to not have meta posts on that community
I hope you dragged them into one of your beloved drama communities for that. The nerve of some people to have a disagreement with you.
You believe that communities shouldn't have meta posts calling for more mods when there's only one and that person is willing to offer someone else a mod position?
You made it seem like they were asking people in private, i don't really see anything wrong with that. Your new fediverse community also only has one mod btw.
Then feel free to join them on their community.
Your new fediverse community also only has one mod btw.
Indeed, it's not even 12 hours old. I just asked the mod to create a meta post to add more mods, it should be there in a few hours
Sweet. Sounds like snoopy is being a bit more obedient towards you then 😆
Really ? Well on jlai.lu we try to have at least 2 mods per community. That's not aways the case but we regulary do meta post to recruit moderators and encourage collaborative work. :)
For fediverse community, i will probably look around what we already do and try something different :)
Sorry i was throwing you under the bus there 😆 I had no idea that it was such a fauxpas to not do a meta post but ask people you trust in private if they'd be down to mod. I don't get why that is, but that may be just me.
Both are good. It depends of lot things. You may want to chose privatly or open a meta post.
I like doing meta post because it shows to users that we are taking it seriously and tell them how we want to manage it. What we want to achieve. Privatly is also great, let's say you will open a sensible community on feminism, you don't want to mess it up and need someone you can trust.
My main role won't be moderator but animator that's what i enjoy the most. 😊
And if i didn't have alts/accounts on lemmy, mbin piefed, iceshrimp, mastodon, peertube, i wouldn't accept it. In a way, i'm similar to Blaze and Camus. :)
Alright, so I just learned about !fediverse@forum.wedistribute.org. It's a NodeBB instance run by the WeDistribute team, led by @deadsuperhero@lemmy.world and it can interoperate with Lemmy and Mastodon and the mbin family of software.
Can we agree that it is a better fit than any of the existing alternatives?
@FrostyTrichs@crazypeople.online I don't have an alt on your instance so feel free to subscribe if you like the idea
Same for @Coelacanth@feddit.nu and @CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al
subscribe if you like the idea
Thanks for the tag, I've added it to our feed.
I don't have an alt on your instance
Seems easy enough to remedy 😎
Nice!
I might at some point ha ha 😄
The little community that @deadsuperhero@lemmy.ml set up, keeps growing
!fediverse@lemmy.ml is pretty much completely shadowed by !fediverse@lemmy.world today
But it doesn't take away from the fact that it all started thanks to Sean
Oh, definitely not
All this shuffling around for circumstantial reasons gets tiring and confusing.
Instead of spending all this time and energy trying to coordinate large-scale movements it would be a lot easier to just create a separate instance to be the home of the communities and have a neutral ground.
Feel free to stay on LW if you prefer
I prefer to have a community where aussie.zone doesn't have a 3 days delay
just create a separate instance to be the home of the communities and have a neutral ground.
Who manages that instance? How do you prevent power tripping?
I prefer to have a community where aussie.zone doesn’t have a 3 days delay
Yeah, a community on a topic-specific instances would never cause that, because it would only be a small number of activities.
Who manages that instance?
You. You can go to elest.io and create your own instance.
If you worry about costs, I'll be sure to contribute with a few cents per month. ;)
