People say that? How odd, that seems like a totally different world. I don’t agree with that sentiment! One is a general purpose communications protocol, the other is a community. As with any community, one can pick and choose who they fraternize with.
That’s the point of federation! Choosing who you want in your community.
XMPP still exists - and I use it for chatting with one person. Nobody I know uses it. Techies I know use IRC and, more recently, Matrix. Or discord, disappointingly enough.
And I mention techies because the rest of the world is just happy with WhatsApp/Messenger/Slack et al.
What I’m getting at is that XMPP feels pretty dead in my experience. But who knows, maybe it would be in this same position regardless of Google like you allude to.
Step back, take a breath, and focus your beliefs into more succinct and tactful displays. And lose the passive aggressive judgment rhetoric.
Big pickups are nasty af. Actually useful pickups are sexy.
A little more tact could bring your comments a long way, my friend.
I imagine old.reddit is going to be killed off soon.
Kudos to the edit to be more productive.
That’s unfairly mean and aggressive. Kindly remember which community this is in.
Perhaps they meant something like lemmy.world for the second URL.
User will be able to block instances without the need for their home instance to defederate
Ooohhhhh so good. I have been wanting that.
Definitely do it! It got mr making friends and getting out more.
Glad you’ve put up the fight and made it through the other side.
A lot of latin dance. Tons of lessons, workshops, and social dancing. I recommend it :)
Same here. I wish that we could have more powerful filtering even when browsing all. personally, I don’t want anything to do with memes so finding interesting new lemmy nooks is like wading through a haystack.
Nice one! I have heard it called a fuzzy JPG of the internet.
That’s good to hear, and I really would love for things to get sorted out. Gimp 3.x has many improvements for sure but there’s a long way to go and actually releasing these improvements is necessary…
If gimp can become another blender that would be incredible.
Ha, reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJBEAZFP0aA
Glad it suits your needs!
They’ve been completely dropping the ball for years. I used to donate regularly but have completely given up on this project. It’s a farce at this point.
Thankfully I only have simple needs so Krita suffices and I don’t have to deal with the never-improving UX nightmare and never-releasing changes.
Yeah, I’m salty. It’s just that GIMP was a shining star of FOSS and it’s just been slowly rotting from inaction.
I’ve been trying it out and I like it a lot! Haven’t switched yet though.
