They can meet the dragon during working hours, no need to break in.

@Lightfire228
Yeah I’m sure that job is very hard on the skin, even for a derg who has thick, tough scales.

Also I imagine the salt dust can be quite irritating to the eyes as well.

@l_b_i
That sounds so dumb and racist (speciesist?) dragons should be allowed to fly anywhere and everywhere we choose. Also I agree, ties do suck. I’m glad my current job doesn’t require them.

@LordAmplifier

@Ghostalmedia @deadsuperhero I think the fact that I was able to see and reply to this comment of yours from Mastodon proves this idea false, if you check the Post history of this account you will also find that content posted in Lemmy is visible.

They absolutely do interact, lemmy is way more Mastodon friendly than most people give it credit for, considering the fact that communities/groups, automatically boost every post and comment for visibility.

So people on Lemmy being concerned about poorly moderated or cesspool microblog instances is indeed a valid concern.

@db0 @WeirdGoesPro would probably require modifying Lemmy to be able to do it unfortunately, and that’s hard because of the Lemmy Devs’ weird insistence on using rust.

@cyberboy What do you think, does this get the official catboy seal of approval?

@RavenLuni @crashdoom Yeah I agree. Automated moderation systems can cause a lot of problems when they ban or limit without human interaction.

If they do though, they need to inform the user of the actions performed, and there needs to be an easy way to appeal them, so they aren’t just baseless automated bans like on every mainstream service.

@Melody @l_b_i I feel like it can get more cozy.

@LordAmplifier @l_b_i Also put on some nice calm music too. That helps with coziness factor.

@Kovukono Yeah it actually kind of sucks that people were so hostile towards it, honestly my first comment was more meant to be a joke (especially since I’m replying on Mastodon), but I guess it also wasn’t as much of a joke as I thought considering how many people tried to bury the post.

@BOLOID Which instances are you on because I haven’t had very many federation issues on mine. I do know that the gGmbH instances (mastodon.social, mastodon.online, etc.) are generally limited by many other instances on the count of spambots and poor moderation. It’s why it isn’t recommended to choose them (you’ll run into issues following people or fetching content, that’s not a bug, it’s a feature).

@Kovukono I mean another big reason is that many people here highly value open source and decentralization and while Bluesky promises to deliver that decentralization via AT Proto, currently they haven’t done that. There aren’t really any other instances and the main one doesn’t have AT Proto Federation enabled (so even if you set up your own it’s no use), so at the moment Bluesky is no different from a centralized platform, just with the promise of being decentralized in the future.

Mastodon on the other hand is decentralized right now, with many many servers to choose from, it’s not a future promise of future decentralization, it is decentralized already. It also doesn’t carry the negative connotation that Invite-only platforms carry, which is promotion by way of FOMO (fear of missing out), yeah some instances are invite-only but there are other instances people can join and still interact with everyone else due to federation.

@Kovukono Sir, this is the Fediverse, we use Mastodon here.

@mrmanager Yup something is definately wrong here. Made a Github issue so hopefully it can be addressed soon.

@mrmanager Doesn’t seem to be fixed by a restart unfortunately.

@lemann I wonder if it might also be affecting Kbin users too. I’m not sure though since I ditched Kbin a long time ago (there were lots of bugs and shitty people on there).

@lemann I think these are very different issues on Mastodon than on Lemmy since on mastodon when its pending it isn’t just a visual glitch like on Lemmy, it’s just not letting you follow.

I’ve experienced what you’re describing on Lemmy where it shows as pending but does show up in the subscriptions list after a few refreshes. It unfortunately doesn’t seem to work out like that on Mastodon when following users or communities that are on Lemmy 0.19 instances.

@db0 So the dragonchat one went through, even though it says pending on the instance?

Also yeah I guess I do have a lot, I made most mainly due to federation problems but there were other reasons too (like when lemmy.world decided to go to war against piracy as well as other things). Ah well it’s good to have redundancy, in case systems fail or instances go bust (that happened to unilem, they just disappeared overnight without warning).

@db0 @div0 Ah so I guess it is instance specific. That’ll make troubleshooting hard if some instances work and some don’t. Hopefully it’s mostly consistent.
