Was there any discussion about this change? Or is this it.

Completely agree. It's just spam.

Edit to add: maybe I'm just unnecessarily grouchy but I wish we could move away from the idea that lemmy is a replacement reddit. There are similarities but lemmys own culture needs to coalesce independently. Crosspoint from reddit perpetuates the misconception in the worst possible way.

An extension of the above is the idea that defederation is the last, worst solution to any problem. It's born of the idea that users should have one long- lived account that accesses everything which is in itself a redditism. Would it be so terrible if you needed multiple accounts to view instances which are not federated?

lemmit.online is fine, what a great project, archive some reddit posts or something.... but federating with it doesn't provide any value to anyone.

Sooo... who benefits from the manipulation of the data? Ukraine because it makes Russia look bad? Is it that simple?

 

Elder Race (4.14 : 12,718)

In Adrian Tchaikovsky's Elder Race, a junior anthropologist on a distant planet must help the locals he has sworn to study to save a planet from an unbeatable foe. Lynesse is the lowly Fourth Daughter of the queen, and always getting in the way. But a demon is terrorizing the land, and now she's an adult (albeit barely) with responsibilities (she tells herself).

The Road to Roswell (3.91 : 1005)

When level-headed Francie arrives in Roswell, New Mexico, for her college roommate’s UFO-themed wedding—complete with a true-believer bridegroom—she can’t help but roll her eyes at all the wide-eyed talk of aliens, which obviously don’t exist. Imagine her surprise, then, when she is abducted by one.

Light Bringer / Red Rising #6 (4.59 : 510)

The Reaper is a legend, more myth than man: the savior of worlds, the leader of the Rising, the breaker of chains. But the Reaper is also Darrow, born of the red soil of Mars: a husband, a father, a friend. The worlds once needed the Reaper. But now they need Darrow. Because after the dark age will come a new age: of light, of victory, of hope.

Implacable / Outlands #3 (4.51 : 388)

As far from explored space as any human has ever been, Geary and the Alliance fleet are on their own, protecting a diplomatic mission in territory belonging to an alien species with still-unknown motives. His already complex and dangerous mission is further imperiled by deadly challenges from other human factions seeking to harm or exploit the aliens. When another alien species whose technology is far more advanced than humanity’s arrives, the stakes are raised to the highest possible level.

Space Raideres / Space Raiders #1 (4.33 : 344)

After years of searching, Nathan Briggs is finally on the verge of making an incredible discovery. Unfortunately, the aliens have other plans. When Nathan stops a brutal attack on an unsuspecting victim, he gets more than he bargained for and sets into motion events that will change his life forever. They told him he should’ve run away, and maybe they were right. Nathan is about to embark on an adventure of a lifetime. Aliens are real. He has something they need, and they’re not the only ones hunting for it.

 

Joshua Gayou's Commune, Book 2 read by R.C. Bray contains a character called Gibbs. Hands down the best character I've heard brought to life by a Narrator.

Honestly I don't like the book that much. Firstly there's not much story, it's just the author rolling out their idea of a subsistence commune in a narrative, and I suspect the author and I have vastly different ideological views.

... but Gibbs made it worth listening to. An ex marine with a penchant for colourful language. Bray and Gayou really created something special.

I'm speechless.

 

You should know this because finding communities on lemmy can be tough.

What you're describing as an "issue" is just the way the fediverse works.

There's no central authority that determines the ruling /c/gaming instance or whatever.

If you tried to create one then anyone could just fork lemmy to disregard the central authority.

Lemmy is not reddit, nor should it attempt to be.
