HeapOverflow.ml domain hijacked!
sorry guys, HeapOverflow is down right now, because freenom decided to disappear my domain registration... I'll try and recover it or migrate to a more reliable TLD, but It'll take some time =/ This should also serve as a warning against using sketchy TLDs

[RFC] How should code-highlighting themes be handled?
I'm working on adding highlighting to `code-blocks` on lemmy using [highlight.js](https://highlightjs.org/static/demo/), and am wondering exactly how to implement it. There are many code-themes that could be used Regarding which theme to use there are basically two different directions I could go: 1. Each lemmy-theme would have to explicitly declare an hljs theme to use. - PROS: - easy to use, users automatically get an appropriate code-theme for every ui-theme. - simple to implement (already done) - CONS: - theme-makers need to pick an appropriate theme - no user customizability, limited number of themes 2. Users can pick their preferred theme just like they pick a UI theme. - PROS: - Extreme customization, there are a buttload of themes, and users can pick any one! - CONS: - Users would **need** to pick an appropriate theme. It would use the "browser-default" (light/dark) until they pick one, and could look weird and be confusing until then - PITA to implement & requires back-end changes (wont see it for a while) Let me know what you think, or if you have another solution. I have solution #1 deployed on HeapOverflow.ml right now =] Here is the PR for those interested: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/pull/663

Could you clarify whether source citation is a rule or just a guideline?

A guideline. People can assert things, and people can show evidence. an argument will be more believable with evidence. Repeatedly asserting things in spite of evidence might get your comments deleted though.

character attacks on groups of people

I would imagine that’s not civil. If someone sees this please report it and there will probably be a discussion about it.

AWESOME! I’ll migrate my instances to a green datacenter on linode in a bit



These seems silly but people actually believe this crap. They will never learn better if people never challenge them.

IDK how long I can do it, but at least their questions have been easily debunkable.


you can use your current account. Im working on a way to make it easier, but you can search for the url of a GTIO community to find it like this


I’m not a free-speech absolutist, and I’m planning on moderating heavily, so IDK how long that will last lol


ty, Its hard because everything is “politics”.
If you have any suggestions I created the c/META community for just that purpose =]


They are vague and will be updated as necessary.

It’s extremely hard to identify and moderate “fake news”, so my plan is not to =/
If people are not allowed to post missinfo, then people cant counter that evidence.

I’m hoping that users can post counter-evidence and let the zeitgeist decide the truth.

This sounds like a good debate topic tho =]



Yeah… =/
I set it to “require application” because there is no UI index of users; I cant really keep track of users and if they’re trolling other instances.


Trolling & shitposting are not allowed, only genuine debate topics



I agree generally that fascists like to hide behind a veil of neutrality, but so do others.

I say “politically neutral” to mean that mods wont ban you for having conservative opinions =/

If someone posts “whats wrong with fascism?” they wont get banned but would be met with ideas.

Trolling would get you banned though, and I don’t want to be a safe harbor for those that seek to troll other instances.




This is for Nigeria and has nothing to do with Nine Inch Nails


I would even support creating a centrist or right-leaning (non-extremist) instance to help de-radicalize the conservative sphere


My solution was setting this in my settings:



awesome, ty. I’ll let you know how it works =]


[Suggestion] Configurable “default sort” for comments
I would also appreciate site-config options for comments and posts.
fedilink

I see, so It could answer a question like “why is that one guy not posting anymore”


Anyone else have this problem or know a solution? My instance has almost no usage, and I'm using the version recommended in the docker instructions.
fedilink

Why do mod-actions on other instances show up on my instance?
I get that "federated bans" were added recently, but it seems odd to show trolls getting banned from their home-instance on my instance. =/ thoughts?
fedilink

that’s really awesome!

what other ways are there to seduce users?


BTW, are we going to get a handler for comment-links, i.e. “https://lemmy.ml/comment/130071”, soon?



Does this mean I coined the phrase “fedilink”?


Arch linux has the new archinstall script which should make it a lot easier to install if you want to stay arch-based

I see, thanks for the info. There are some curiosities tho:

  1. It always seems to link to the post and not a comment.
  2. searching on mastodon for either the normal or fedilinks doesn’t return any results
  3. I made this comment from HO, but both the link and fedilink show lemmy.ml

Presumably it's the link to the comment/post on the instance it was made, but that's not always the case, so I'm a little confused =/

They never showed the evidence… here the evidence is in the open for the world to scrutinize. Why don’t you scrutinize it instead of talking out your ass

P.S.


It actually doesn’t matter if they’re “reliable”, what matters is the evidence they’ve compiled. That article proves that Russian military hardware was in Ukraine in 2014, completely invalidating your pathetic “separatists” theory. You have only ad hominems at your defense, yet you accuse others of spreading misinformation.





why weren’t people resisting these supposed soldiers moving into the towns the way they’re resisting right now during an actual invasion?

I already answered this; because, in an attempt to prevent ww3, they decided to retreat and surrender instead of fight. Now they understand that placation has no value.

Nice mental gymnastics there.

No one says Russian is “outlawed” in the US, but if you only speak it, and try to get your car registered, you’re going to have a hard time. you’re one doing mental gymnastics to say that’s a justification for war…

People of Donbas literally chose to fight for their independence, and they’ve been fighting the right wing regime for 8 years.

That’s literally supported by all the available evidence and basic logic.

I’ve seen the satellite images of tanks rolling over the border, but you insist they are separatists.
A civilian airliner was shot down by a BUK, but still you insist it was separatists.
If Ukraine sends tanks to support the “separatists” in Moscow, would you say that’s not an invasion?


When you say invading you mean keeping the troops that were already there?

I mean when the soldiers moved out of the naval base and into the towns.

Let’s just see what the human rights watch has to say

  1. Doesn’t say the Russian language was outlawed. just says when you’re interfacing with the government you need to do it in Ukrainian.
  2. Doesn’t say it’s justification to invade.

Meanwhile, nobody is justifying any invasion.

Youre literally justifying the invasion of donbas and the invasion of crimea. And trying to use those justifications to suggest that Ukraine surrender to Russia… that’s what this entire thread is about.

What you’re being told is that Russian people in Crimea chose to rejoin Russia after the west overthrew the government of Ukraine and put a right wing regime in place.

I’m being told that by you, but it’s unsupported by evidence.

The same reason why people of Donbas fought to separate for 8 years. I love how in your mind these people have no agency of their own.

I don’t understand why you call russian soldiers “separatists”.


Absolutely hilarious that you think the west was in a position to got to war with Russia.

Russia had a lot easier of a time Invading Crimea than it has invading Kyiv, so that would seem to suggest that Ukraine let them have it instead of fighting. this is appeasement and placation.

You’re seriously arguing that Russians in Crimea want to be ruled by Ukrainian extremists who literally outlawed Russian language.

  1. Russian was not “outlawed”, people just had to learn Ukrainian. I said I don’t agree with this law, but maintain its not a justification for invasion. Currently tartars of turkish decent are in prison for disagreeing with putin, and crimea used to be a part of the ottoman empire, so by your own logic, turkey has justification to invade. this is absurd, and clearly an insufficient justification for war.
  2. They were not bring ruled by extremists. It seems to me that Crimea is a relatively ethnically diverse region, and in a democracy not everyone gets exactly what they want. IDK how legitimate the democracy in Crimea was, but I know putin, who has executed all of his political opponents, can not be trusted to run an election. The idea that the people of crimea voted to be ruled by putin laughably absurd.

Once again, you’ve claimed that appeasement hasn’t worked while failing provide a single instance of appeasement.

How is not going to war with Russia after they invaded Crimea not appeasement?
Maybe you can point to a treaty that says “unless there are people who speak russian there”

You’re saying people don’t have the right to self determination? Russian people in Crimea should be oppressed by a hostile government the the west put in that suppresses their culture and language?

You’re assuming people who speak Russian want to be ruled by putin. I speak spanish but im not asking spain to invade the US…

Invading crimea stripped the crimeans of their right to self-determination… Putin is the dictator who is suppressing their culture…

Is there a bot that will scrape RSS / ATOM feeds and xpost to lemmy?
It would be handy for auto-posting new github releases, youtube vids, SO content, etc. If not I'll make one, so recommend libs =]

Should I de-federate while mass-importing content?
If I'm importing a butt-load of content into my instance, should I *temporarily* set `federation: { enabled: false }` while importing to avoid pissing other instance-admins off? I'm assuming my instance could face some repercussions like: - being rate-limited - being blacklisted - clogging remote search indexes up with gigs of crap - flooding remote feeds and pissing off remote users Am I wrong? Am I missing something? Is there a better way to prevent these side-effects?
