I migrated over to writefreely, here's the new link. https://my.jewy.blog/my-love-hate-relationship-with-lemmy

Really good. Crocheting quite a bit and working on my blanket. Planning on reading a bit today. I’m also getting some solid progress done on learning Java and am planning on continuing the course I’ve been following for it.

I wish you the best of luck on this and I truly hope you do this, but this is what the lead dev of Sublinks tried to do. That's the missing piece here. He tried making an external mod tooling system. Maybe you'll have better luck than he did. I really hope you do.

As well, I should highlight the project jgrim was desiring to do was an external mod tooling system for lemmy. Not something within lemmy itself.

I will be migrating as soon as I can on here, and am making plans to start the "first" full sublinks instance when it reaches somewhat stability for production (sublinks.art). For transparency though, I am contributing to the project within the capacity that I am able to so I'm probably biased.

It especially leads to harassment of vulnerable people. There's many aspects of moderation that is done here that if implemented in other fediverse software would become a vector for Kiwifarms level harassment.

The thing is, sublinks lead developer tried to work with development team of lemmy. It was like pulling teeth constantly and his experience was overall negative.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Do you run an instance or have you ever ran a fediverse instance before?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I deleted the activitypub plugin because of how wonky it is, try again and let me know if you have any issue now

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

It can be a source of harassment to not be able to anonymize actions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Interesting. I might have to remove the activitypub plugin regardless then.

I made a blog post discussing my biggest issues with Lemmy and why I am kind of done with it as a software.

And of course if you have a local public library system, get a library card and support them. This goes beyond just going to the library as well, go to budget meetings and council meetings if you can. Stay vigilant to local ongoing funding plans within your city and county, and show up to defend libraries to make it clear you aren't there to fuck around.

As well, if you are a parent go to your local school board meetings and stop fascists from taking your board over. Get involved in your childs PTA, do activism work, and push back against Moms for Liberty. If you have the time, your kids public school needs you to show up and support them.

And obviously, keep reading. Thanks for the awesome comments and discussions this past week.

I'm considering more book highlights in this community too beyond banned books week, especially on the more obscure banned/challenged books. Would there be any interest in that at all?

 

Kicking off this week with a bang of a nobel prize winning author, and for good reason. This book was deeply disturbing to read but extremely important. It was such a beautifully upsetting piece of literature. The book was intense, yes, but it felt like I was reading thru a beautifully crafted painting.

Big warning though for child sexual abuse in this story, if you picked it up and have not read it yet.

Of course, this book is very contentious. Not only is it written by a black woman talking about race, but has the above content as well.

Have you read it? Any thoughts or feelings?
