Sounds like a coup might be incoming.

The only person who said 3 days was some random US general, why are y’all using it as some sort of gotcha?

Probably not the most, but:

“Capitalists are job creators.”

The jobs will exist with or without them.

WaPo just publishes Bezos’s marketing emails.

lol you didn’t even bother clicking the link did you?

VOA is part of the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), the government agency that oversees all non-military, U.S. international broadcasting. It is funded by the U.S. Congress.

Type: Statutory corporation with a royal charter

A statutory corporation is a government entity created as a statutory body by statute.

It doesn’t matter what language you try to couch it in, “state funded”, “editorial independence”, whatever. It was founded by the state, is funded by the state, and is a government entity. If it quacks like a duck.

mediabiasfactcheck, the site that squashes two complex spectrums (left vs right, unbiased vs biased) into a one dimensional line, making no distinction between centrism and being unbiased.

and reliable reporting as you can get outside the BBC

“Russian state owned media bad. British state owned media good.”

I guess you’re just assuming it’s bad based on its name

No, we know it’s bad because it’s literally run by the US government.

Can we please not have a default avatar? I specifically want no avatar.

Ukraine will be in Moscow any day now!

What kind of visual are you thinking for the grouping? Underlines, separators, spacing, something else?

I’m not seeing that, it’s all the same link for me.

Sounds like you want a few new reddit features when this site is more modeled on old reddit as many people prefer that.

> On post listings images thumbnails are too small, and the post has no direct link to the image.

How big would you want them to be? From a quick check they seem to be about the same size as new reddit’s “classic” mode, about 100px wide by 80px tall. The main difference is lemmy doesn’t crop the image to make it fix that box exactly.

And they do have a direct link, you should see it when hovering on the thumbnail, and middle clicking will open it in a new tab.

> I am not using old Reddit design. I like being able to open a post, and at the end close it (click to the side of it) and be back to the listing. On Lemmy I have to work with tabs or back navigation.

Those are pretty different UX philosophies and I doubt Lemmy would go for the former. Personally that’s one of the things I hate about new reddit. All I can say there is middle click is your friend for opening new tabs.

> Comment upvote and downvote should be to the side, like on posts. That’d be more obvious and visually consistent.

The idea there is that you have to actually read through the comment before providing your opinion on it.

> Dropdown for reply language selection is suboptimal to say the least.

How else would you accomplish that?

> Edit should be a primary toolbar action. Not hidden within a collapsed section.

Yeah probably.

> But then visual separation is missing again between the different types of actions.

What do you mean there? There’s decent spacing and different icons. I can’t think of anything else to do besides color.

(As a note: I contributed a bit to the functionality of post listings, but I’m not a lemmy dev)

I’m curious what your problems with the UI are? To me it’s pretty close to old reddit.

What lies? Pushing back against western propaganda isn’t lying.

what I’m surprised about is to find people like you in the main instance of lemmy. I thought that they were contained into the lemmygrad sub but I was wrong, you somehow made your way to the mainstream meeting point.

Do you not know what the ml in lemmy.ml is supposed to mean? It’s Marxist-Leninist. This is a general purpose instance, but it was made by “tankies” as you’d probably call them.

Adding the community name is a big help, and like I said, the post title can be there but not canonical. https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy/post/152773/Lemmy_URLs_should_be_human-meaningful would work just as well as https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy/post/152773.

But purely title based URLs is a really bad idea. Multiple posts can have the same title.

Also I don’t see the reason why /post/ helps with readability more than /p/.

Just nicer tbh.

https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy/post/XYZ123 as the canonical url would be best IMO. Then the title following can be optional. But post instead of p seems like a good idea, not too much longer, but helps readability. c instead of community is fine because 1) community is kinda long and 2) the single letter prefix for communities is pretty well established by reddit and among all of its clones.

Edit: comments would then be https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy/post/XYZ123/comment/ABC456. Really just take the current address and add the community name. Plus the title as an optional path segment for readability.
