While I understand someone not agreeing with the way some instance or community is managed, I see value in different opinions.

Lemmy is great for exactly this purpose, we can have different instances and are able to be exposed to different ideas.

I can not understand the need of some people to limit their exposure to different ideas.

It is very hard, time consuming and boring to iron out those finishing issues in any software product. You need team of people being paid for that.

When doing it for fun, I just go until it works and until it is fun. As soon as I come to those last 20% I never touch it anymore.

So ai doubt it will happen until more companies start paying decelopera to do it. But I don't see the business model in that, so I doubt it will get better fast.

Every social media has the same problem, reddit is on one side, twitter on the other, facebook is filtering by their own goals.

People here are just a bit different angle. But each instance is a little different, lemmy.world is more reddit like, lemmy.ml is leftist, hexbear is... something too, there are probably some right wing instances. Much more diverse than other networks and I enjoy seeing all those different point of views.

This is current problem in society that we don't tolerate different opinion.

We learned to hate "algorithm" but those can actually be good if creator wants to help us insted of manipulate us.

Without a friendly algorithm to help us, we have no chance in finding our way around all this information around us.

Even better when we remind ourselves that GTK means "Gimp ToolKit" :)

"real wierd vibes" is very far from "transphobia".

I fail to see how is traing AI on publicly available images hurting small artists?

You don't have to write if you don't have time, link to explanation is good for me.

I basically use generated images in places that would not have any ilustrations before. There is no budget. When I have money for an artist I hire an artist.

It almost like a bot is posting this sentence every time SerenityOS is mentioned.

Using "he" insted of "they" is not enough to call someone transphobic or misogynistic. It's like you become fascist and are targeting people for one different opinion. Which is not even true.

There are real problems transgender people are having, ladybird browser must be low on that priority.

These people started it and are doing it for fun.

Fixing few decades of technical debt is not fun and a big question would be if their code would even be considered for existing engines.

It us so much fin it already has over 1000 contributors. It got us 1k more people that understand browsers deeply. I think that's a huge win whatever happens with browser itself

It is still young and underdeveloped.

It is advertised to be simpler, but I don't understand any of this words thrown in this thread. And I don't care. Pulseaudio and pipewire is still making me troubles, even thou alsa worked without issues for me.

Point it, make it clear and stable and we will come. Until than we will use the beast we know. It os mich easier when there are no options, but Wayland is fighting something that exists and it takes time and effort.

Another problem is they pushed it to early and people got burned. Until I start seeing "I switched to Wayland in one command and everything works" I (as a user) will not touch it (unles my distro decides to drop X).

I am conflicted. From one side, I agree with you sincevthis is a good idea.

I personally never go around paywalls, if someone doesn't want me to read their article I will not do it.

But... they do push their content to search engines and waste my time with something I can not access. My time also costs money.

Than there is problem with I don't trust media will write the truth anyway, so giving them few bucks will probably not change that. But it is important for us to know what other people know.

Now we came to sharing knowledge, like we would before when newspapers were printed on paper - I could give it or show it to a friend or neighbor. Or go to a library and read it.

While this is outside of our current discussion, they need to find better model.

If it is a daily newspaper, maybe paywal new articles and release after sone reasonable time (like a week, or month... or a year).

I like your idea of separating feeds, to keep paywalled content out of my feed.
