Gil (he/they)@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•People of Lemmy, what do you use to read posts on Lemmy?English3·před 2 rokyI use mostly the web app. Memmy, Mlem, Jerboa, Liftoff, etc. all look cool, but to be honest, I’m not sure I’ll ever go back to having an app on my phone like I did with Reddit. I think I want my engagement with Lemmy to be more on a “when I feel like it” basis than a “when a push notification summons me” basis.

Gil (he/they)@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Can you become a mod of a community that is on different instance?2·před 2 rokyYes - I believe you only need to make a comment in that community so that someone can appoint you.
Gil (he/they)@beehaw.orgto Programming@beehaw.org•GitHub - ctjhoa/rust-learning: A bunch of links to blog posts, articles, videos, etc. for learning RustEnglish2·před 2 rokyAlso trying hard to learn Rust here. Thanks much for posting this repo! :)
Yeah, I remember when it was first launched and it’s come a long way already.
AFAIK, the quad column layout in Mastodon is based on Tweetdeck. I don’t like it either, but some ex-Twitter users do, so that’s neither here nor there.
Calckey certainly looks cool and feature rich, but every Calckey instance’s main page alone slows my computer down a lot and overwhelms my eyeballs lol. Don’t know what to do to make that better.
Gil (he/they)@beehaw.orgtoTechnology@beehaw.org•Megathread for Reddit Blackouts and News - Day 3English10·před 2 rokyThough this community is not extra-dextra-large, there’s still a lot of posts and comments about Reddit - so much so that before we started doing the megathreads, it was clogging up the local feed and preventing people from seeing other posts. Even in general, because !technology is such a big community on Beehaw, subscribing to it drowns out a lot of the other content we have.
Yeah, as of right now, the only thing users can do is individually block users or specific communities.
I’m glad that you’re enjoying your experience on Beehaw though! Even on the admin end there’s still not a lot of granular control, but hopefully, the explosion of users will help bring more attention to Lemmy’s development.
Gil (he/they)@beehaw.orgto Beehaw Support@beehaw.org•welcome, new Beehaw users and lurkers. an FAQ and introduction to BeehawEnglish1·před 2 rokyGenerally what this means is your registration application hasn’t been reviewed yet - it just takes some time for a human to look at it and approve/deny.
Gil (he/they)@beehaw.orgOPto Betterment and Praxis@beehaw.org•University of Kansas: Community Toolbox2·před 2 rokyThat would be excellent! I’d love to flesh things out down the road and provide more advice, maybe turn what I’ve written here into something more substantial and with proper links to where I’ve learned some of this stuff or just additional reading, so if/when you put that doc together, I’d love to be involved in future contributions.
They have defined the rules - multiple times and at length. If you’re dissatisfied with the lack of formal definition of ‘hate speech’ then that’s fine, but even vaguely defined rules are still defined rules.
Gil (he/they)@beehaw.orgOPtoChat@beehaw.org•What are you grateful for this week? Gratitude threadEnglish6·před 2 rokyOn Beehaw:
I’m really appreciative of the community for sticking to more positive values and being passionate about making Beehaw a welcoming place. Love seeing people happy about releasing their inhibitions, jumping into whatever conversations are going on, and finding a community of support here. Also thankful for the other mods, just for being cool to talk to and being actively present all over the site, and for the admins - alyaza, Gaywallet, and Lionir for being transparent about how Beehaw is administered, and Remington and Penguincoder for keeping the site up and also being positive presences.
In real life:
IRL, I’m glad to not be sick anymore and finally have time for cleaning and job-hunting. It’s been rough in the way of money for the past few months, so I’m happy to have my partner and my parents’ support and to be working through slowly unfucking my life. I’m also grateful that my creative juice has really been pumping lately and that I’ve been much more prolific in my various writing projects.
Another graphic that is similar to this one is the Cognitive Bias Codex by Visual Capitalist, since logical fallacies have their roots in cognitive bias.
I can see it just fine on my end. Is it actually bigger than the ~3000x2000 image I’m seeing right now?
Gil (he/they)@beehaw.orgtoChat@beehaw.org•I already developed a habit of going to Beehaw instead of RedditEnglish5·před 2 rokyI switched from Firefox to LibreWolf around the same time as I joined Lemmy, so I made Beehaw one of my homepage tabs to help reinforce my habit of coming here. Of course, it didn’t need that much help reinforcing since I already feel way more engaged on this site than I did with Reddit. But hey, beehaw 🐝🤠
Mods cannot purge comments, no. Site admins might be able to, but I don’t think it’s easy to do and not every federated social media platform respects deletion requests.
I love this! Reminds me a lot of ligne claire. Also I just love a good mountain/hill town in fiction/fantasy.
From my perspective, I would say that Beehaw has somewhat of a leftward inclination, but overall, the only real official stance Beehaw has is to focus on being nice and cultivating a welcoming community that is also safe for minorities, which is really the moderation standard applied to everyone regardless of affiliation.
For me, it’s fair enough if people have conflicting views and/or express their views in ways one might consider abrasive. I have no interest in policing people’s tone. When they violate the main intention of this community and harm others, on the other hand, then it becomes important to do something about it, and I think Beehaw does a good job of applying that standard.
The biggest thing though is that the users play a pivotal role in how this culture and community manifest, and it’s really to their credit if others find this place a welcoming place to be(e). It’s just made better if admins are people we can trust to support that.
In any case, I hope you enjoy your time here. 🐝

VS Code, but may switch to VSCodium or Neovim eventually.
