Also on Reddit being a poweruser meant that you could probably sell/loan your account to shady advertisers, which isn’t as much of a problem here since the Fediverse isn’t monetized by ads.

Additionally, I think power users are a problem if they’re just blindly spamming posts without engaging with the community, not so much if they’re just organically filling the void with posts.

I <3 lemmy’s prolific posters. o7

Thank heavens for your unhealthy posting habits, we need to clone you Stamets

Doggo on the left is like: :3

Also, Google is a (the?) major source of funding for Mozilla, so they have a lot of clout with them.

Hear hear!

Squish the hamster

It looks very toy-like to me for some reason, like those tilt-shift photographs. I wish I could see the rest of the surroundings, it’s a very interesting picture. Good job, OP!

He’s showing us the snoot, the whole snoot, and nothing but the snoot. So help him God.

I see no problem here

Clicking on a post in the post feed makes it show up overlayed on top of the feed similar to alexandrite’s system instead of sending you to a new page. (hitting the name of the post when in this preview state will send you to the actual page)

This is by far my favorite Alexandrite feature, and the main reason I use it over the alternatives. Thanks for including it!

What a distinguished looking fellow

Bowie’s a good boye

Agreed. I think it dilutes user engagement, because people will leave comments on these bot threads, never to be seen by anybody else.

I went ahead and blocked it and spend time on HN along with Lemmy instead. HN discussions on those posts are always so much livelier than those sad, but interesting copycat posts.

Neat, the customization does help make it look a lot better than the defaults. I wonder why they didn’t just make this the new UI.

I did not know that, I’ll check out the other options, thanks!

Oops, yeah, I did!

I’ve been using LibreOffice as an MS Office replacement for a decade or so, although most of my documents are still on Google docs. The LibreOffice UI seems to have never really improved at all, and even the updating experience is annoying. I don’t understand how such a lucrative productivity app has no developer support behind it?

OpenOffice got me really excited, because that UI seems modern and polished. It’s really unfortunate that it’s mostly we lb based and apparently really slow.

So yeah, 100% agree with you. LibreOffice with the OpenOffice UI would be 🔥

I like how he’s timing the okra fillage

That does sound like a sad state of affairs :/ I hope mod tooling and improving the modding experience is something the devs work on soon
