In practice, who do you know that's using it and doesn't run Arch, by the way?

Well I mostly run Debian, but I do have arch on a machine so maybe I don't count.

It's that they're not designed for non-technical users.

Have to agree there, it takes some effort if you're setting it up for friends and family.

Xmpp supports group chat, 1:1 messaging, you've got webtrc support for voice/video, and its extensible.

Jingle even has screen sharing (and I think a WIP remote control function).

What is missing from xmpp?

Rounded corners are not unique to a single site, or even hard to do with basic editors.

What gives it away to you isn't really relevant to the rules of the community.

Mods are listed in the sidebar.

Per the modlog, there were multiple instances of posts they felt ignored the rules. So it doesnt appear as though it was an overreaction, so much as "well, repeat offender, let's move on then".

Messaging the mods would make much more sense than making a ptb post about something where it appears you were a repeat offender within a short period of time.

Edited to add: it also appears you've broken the same rule about 10 times in 2 months and you got a temp ban.

This doesn't come across as ptb even slightly. YDI.

They are the aliens from They Live trying to normalize their appearance before removing the masks?

Sweetie

Ew.

Dude. Just fucking stop. This is going way beyond into pretty disgusting territory.

Edited to add: Your "response" is noted. Not into the casual sexism, and I find it extremely odd that you had no idea about goat. Just going to go ahead and save myself the headache now and block.

point is it wasn't always a dog whistle

It was used to describe indigenous people of Africa and America to promote eugenics (at least to the 19th century).

It was popularized by the Nazis as a specifically far right term, to describe anything that didnt meet Nazi ideals.

When its used to discuss culture (art, religion, etc) or traits of a person (sexuality, race, gender expression, etc), its a really blatant dog whistle.

Like everything, context matters, but it absolutely has been one for a very long time.

Its more that it does effectively nothing.

You don't even need to run an instance to see vote history. ActivityPub federates all activity across, and lemmy does not obfuscate in any way.

Any real change to address this would have to be done much lower than whether or not lemvotes sees it.

.... you all do know that goat specifically says they just like riling people up, right?

And you're just gobbling down the nonsense and getting riled up?

With claims of things that go directly against the rules of the instance?

This is some weird ass shit stirring going on. Enjoy your manufactured drama folks.

Actually, yeah, every year for them its released the summer of the following year.

Each subproject submits their own detailed overview of the prior year, including any conference/working group events, sprints, pictures from the same, mentorship progeams, major changes in individual projects, as well as detailed financials for where money came from, where the money went.

It generally will take a few months to compile that (especially when you're talking an open source foundation with a multitude of groups under the umbrella), and then time to organize it all.

Even companies will take several months after the conclusion of their year to provide similar details in an annual review.

Its a bit late this year being in August, usually its June, but late spring to summer is when it gets released every year.

Edited to add: I think it even came out in October or November some years back. 2018? 2019? Something like that.
