I agree this really seems like it should be dead center in the conversation. It clearly demonstrates just how massively reddit is messing up. Right before leaving last week I saw tons of people upset and disgusted when they realized these repercussions. I don’t know if that sentiment has continued over there.

Careful with that analogy. I’m hoping for a lot less flame war on the left side of the equation lol

Personally I feel like the Mario movie was one of the best movies like that to come out. Sure it’s nothing too amazing, but for a video game adaptation it’s definitely up there. It does seem like everything has to be remade to be almost deliberately awful though.

lemmymap.feddit.de is a map that shows a few things. Clicking blocked shows the corresponding connections. It doesn’t show the direction, but hovering over will show you an instances number of blocks. Some of the data could be wrong, though. Last I checked every instance is listed as no downvotes. The defederation with beehaw showed up pretty quickly though.

One note, maybe don’t click the ‘open’ checkbox because that tries to show every connection and blows up my browser!

I was already feeling some type of way browsing communities, like being thrown back a couple decades to chat rooms and forums. But now, seeing users from kbin and lemmy all together, just hanging out… it feels pretty awesome.

It does feel like a breath of fresh air even in spite of the rough edges. I’m hoping it lasts and I also plan on sticking around!

I wanna give both of you props for your work on these. It’s pretty cool to see the community jump on things like this. I’ve been half considering an attempt to whip up an android app just for a personalized experience, but I’m worried I’ll be too ambitions lol

A lot of the discussion around sorting specifics makes me wonder if a plugin-like system for user created sorting algorithms would be useful.

It could allow you to curate your own feed in a way, based on age, activity, filters, basically any post metadata. The algorithms could be shared or maybe even federated through lemmy itself. I have a suspicion this would be closer to “neat” than “worth it” though. This is really just a brain dump of a random idea.
