And even then, the only reason Steam ended support for Windows 7 was because it's an Electron (Chromium) application. They decided to upgrade their version of Electron, probably to take advantage of newer security fixes in Chromium, which forced them to drop Win7 support because Chromium already had ended support for it.

I think they're complaining that Lemmy uses the older method of blocking instead of the more modern version.

The old way of blocking is that you don't want to see a person, but they're still free to do what they want. It's just not shown to you. So they can still read everything you post and downvote or reply to it as they please.

The modern way is to prevent the blocked user from interacting with you at all, including seeing your posts.

I don't use Lemmy, so I don't know which it uses, but it sounds like OP is arguing that Mastodon uses the latter but Lemmy uses the former. Reddit used to do the former but eventually changed to the latter.

Lol I'd be surprised if my country (Switzerland) follows through. We keep voting down any climate proposals.

“There’s no way to say I don’t want to share this”… Yes there is. Don’t hit the upvote button, if you don’t want anyone to know.

Well yes, that's what I meant with the part before that.

That's more about discipline and applies to every social media. There's no way to say "I don't want to share this" on the fediverse. Even private messages are shared.

This isn't unique to Lemmy, every social media including Reddit allows you to prevent sharing something by never posting it in the first place.

I'm saying beyond that there's nothing more you can do. So Lemmy literally doesn't do anything more there than Reddit did.

For context, this was in response to this part of your comment (emphasis mine):

On Lemmy there’s only what you yourself willingly share with the rest of us.

Which sounds like you're saying Lemmy is somehow different and better than Reddit at this, which it really isn't.

But if you're tracking, datamining, or selling my data then there's the problem.

And that's easier on the fediverse than any other social media platform. It's the downside of the federation aspect. Lemmy doesn't need to have this stuff built in, anyone can just track and datamine and sell data as they please from anywhere. And I think it's foolish to think Meta at least isn't already doing that, considering they are well aware of the fediverse and how it works. But others are probably already on it too.

There’s no tracking or data-mining on Lemmy, which infringe on your privacy.

Not built into the Lemmy software, no. But there's for sure data mining and tracking happening, with how open the fediverse is. If you actually think there is none of that, you don't seem to understand how the fediverse actually works. Anyone can just hook up their server to the fediverse and start harvesting your data freely if they want to.

What you describe could also be pointed out as transparency. Transparency is a good thing, right?

Well, Lemmy isn't the one being transparent then though. Since Lemmy hides votes from its users, but shares them with other instances.

I'd argue the fediverse is probably not the ideal place for a privacy focused audience. There is no privacy here, only illusions of it. I can easily see who upvoted this post for example.

They're referring to hate speech.

They're not technically wrong, it is censorship and illegal speech to outlaw hate speech. But it takes malicious selfishness and a lack of empathy to actually take issue with it imo.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is that Mbin supports custom magazine/community CSS like Old Reddit did. Don't think it's federated currently though, so it's local only. There's also the ability to follow users and boost (retweet) content, which Lemmy lacks.

Judging by recent posts by Piefed's creator, they seem to be planning to add end-to-end encryption and ephemeral content.

They do have a dedicated "Crawler" page.

And they do mention there that they use a website crawler for their Developer Tools and Network features.

It comes out as individual lines here on Mbin, so OP does seem to have used line breaks. Weird though that on Lemmy, including OP's home instance, it doesn't work.

Does Lemmy maybe have a thing where line breaks work differently in the editor than the final post/comment? Like, Reddit expects you to put two spaces on the previous line for the line break to count, but it will display a line break in the editor by simply pressing enter. So the post as it looks in the editor isn't necessarily how the final product will look like. Does Lemmy do something similar maybe?

Considering the sub in question is /r/redditalternatives, you posted this in a thread about alternative communities on lemmy, and there's a reply to your comment which promotes more lemmy (and mbin) instances that isn't removed... I really really doubt the reason for the ban was you mentioning Lemmy. That would be very inconsistent of the mods, and actually suggest a vendetta against you personally rather than lemmy.

Did you reply to the message asking what rule you broke? Like the ban message instructs you to? Might have also been an accidential ban.

It did not violate any community rules. Reddit doesn't make any sense.

Sadly, sidebar rules on Old Reddit aren't real and so can't be relied upon. There are in fact more than just four rules. There's nine of them.

That said, even with the expanded list of rules I can't find any that might apply. Unless their automoderator is so heavily sensitive to non-civility that the very word "cuss" is seen as bad language. Which I very much doubt. It does mention that linking to websites containing malware leads to an immediate permaban, but I doubt that's the case here?
