Word of Mouth

Emacs zealot here … can confirm we’re like this ;)

Yup. Emacs, here, but same thing. Never used PyCharm or any other Python-capable IDE, and I’ve been coding large python projects for the same company for almost a decade.

YyyyyyyyyyuuuuuuuuuuuuuP.

These are certainly possibilities! It’s happened elsewhere in the Fediverse… but already we can export most of our data and migrate to a different instance. Getting these base features right is important before enhancing their functionality. Planning for the future is important too. So far I’ve been impressed by Lemmy, though it’s not nearly as portable as Mastodon or Calckey or Pleroma etc. Part of that is that in Lemmy/kbin we don’t follow other users… we subscribe to groups (subs/communities/magazines).

Still, with the nature of ActivityPub, it’s inevitable that migration tools for Reddit-like federated apps will get built quick-like

I’ll have to give it a try again. I played with it a while back, but I was happy with GNOME at the time. What underlying version of emacs are you using? native comp?

Nope. I joined a couple big Mastodon instances, then started running a solo on DigitalOcean. It’s a hobby. I’ll probably give up the self-hosted and continue on a regular Calckey account.

Also played with Pixelfed, and before that all the way back to Matrix/Rocket… and pre-AP good ole diaspora*. Basically, anything but corporate social media. I just don’t like it enough to deal with the bullshit.

I liked Reddit though, but haven’t been on there for more than a year, now.

Lemmy seems pretty cool though. I’m interested in playing with the tech. Seems like a good way to take my Rust skills to the next level.

Answer: Lift my lifetime permanent ban. Heheh

I jokingly commented “I hope it was full” in a thread about Ted Cruz (aka Zodiac Killer) getting beaned by a beer can during a parade (or sumpin).

That was the last straw for the mods! How dare I “Promote or advocate violence” LOL
