PieFed also offers emoji reactions, I see 3 distinct types on this post so far.

Username checks out :-P

If only he had the high ground…

The purity testing is real…😭

Is it… (checks notes) “Twelve parsecs”, perchance?

I think the person you were responding to meant that the execs were not useful (see the parent comment), or at least not as useful to the overall enterprise as their salaries would have lead you to believe, in comparison to a standard developer.

Yes workflow systems are useful. Jira is a bad implementation to a good idea. It might help if they listened to feedback from people who actually used their software to improve it. Tbf they do make some good changes occasionally, like adding dark mode (which isn’t perfect but also it isn’t nothing).

By that terminology then, which I don’t agree with but for the sake of argument let’s go with it, Lemmy “hard-codes” itself as the instance having veto power over which communities get recommended to new instances. Lemmy also infamously hard-coded a list of cuss words that it refused to allow changing in the codebase, with Nutomic even going so far as to tell users to piss off and create their own fork of Lemmy rather than continue to bother them about it (but later after an enormous outcry relenting). In Lemmy’s defense, this was before mod tools existed iirc, which provides some crucial context imho.

Either way that’s still not “enabled by default”. Also, I apologize for being unclear: one part that was supposedly “hard-coded” was the functionality being on by default, while the other was the list being written into the code itself rather than a config file. The former turned out not to be true, while the latter is perhaps unfortunately true, yet Lemmy does the same if not much worse in this regard as well. And if we absolutely must compare the two, the PieFed devs are much more open and receptive to feedback than Lemmy’s.

Anyway, I don’t see justification to say that PieFed=bad (while using Lemmy to say that, hence implying that Lemmy=good?), as opposed to the fact that they both need additional contributors to improve themselves. One logical consequent following what you said is that people should avoid using PieFed, but I am saying that in that case we would have to avoid using Lemmy as well. But rather than be so divisive, why not encourage people to use whichever Threadiverse alternative to The Bad Place is offered as FOSS to anyone, free of ads or Algorithmic control?

I am not saying that you did so intentionally, but you were spreading misinformation and I wanted the opportunity to correct you there. PieFed is awesome! Lemmy is also awesome!

Prior Sprints do not Exist.

There is your active Sprint, there is a huge pile of all tickets that ever were, unable to be sorted by any reasonable metric, and there are the interlinks between tickets. Nothing else exists.

When your Sprint ends, say goodbye for you shall literally never see your helpful comment that you put all those details into again.

Edit: then you must love this song.

Edit 2: in the link I mean.

Edit 3: watch more than a handful of seconds to find out why.

A lot of that was shown to be misinformation. I don’t now recall which but a lot of what was claimed to be “hard-coded” was in fact not, nor was what was claimed to have been “enabled by default” actually something that occurs unless the instance admin specifically turned that option on.

It turns out that wrapping code inside of an if() statement entirely changes the program flow, altering its interpretation from “enabled by default” into “conditional upon admin request”. In case anyone was wondering.

Uh… lower profit margins for the CEOs?

I guess the vast majority of all the nerdy people who appreciate URL manipulation are already here, with the possible exception of those who noped out early due to the tankie politics of the Lemmy devs who haven’t kept up to know the PieFed now offers an even stronger alternative.

I will note that you do not need a login to use custom Feeds - e.g. test out https://piefed.social/f/allcomics - though yeah you currently need an account to create one, unless someone wants to write the code to be able to generate them on the fly.

It was the set-up to a joke. Nobody asked who’s there so they did not get to finish.:-(

Ew emacs, yuck 🤢🤮. Try Vim and you’ll never go back.

/s btw (I use Linux, please don’t kill me)

Fine, Hannah Montana it is then.

Tbf, here it is (mostly?) often a joke, whereas… 🤪😳🙃🙄😞😤

Cats are incapable of remorse.

So that is probably pride I am seeing on that cute face 😈.
