I’m not sure whether this should be a “standard”, but we need a Linux Distribution where the user never has to touch the command line. Such a distro would be beneficial and useful to new users, who don’t want to learn about command line commands.

And also we need a good app store where users can download and install software in a reasonably safe and easy way.

tldr

no often today we don’t know what the code is actually doing

yes this is an important problem

no nobody really seems to take it as serious as it should be taken today

no i’m not gonna change that over night

Yeah, while aesthetics is typically considered a side-effect of your choice of client, i think Lemmy should offer prettier aesthetics to choose from. In the menu:

chat is important for real-time messages (like talking to each other irl), but there should be a wiki/faq that answers frequent questions IMO.

Lemmy (and Matrix to a lesser extent) gives me the vibes that Nintendo Super Mario Bros gave me around 2008 - just magical, wonder what can be done.

i understand your points

i just want to point out that the IP address can often be used to track your location, especially if you’re in more rural / less densely populated areas. That might doxx you, and how dangerous that is depends on your public profile. So the concern is legitimate.

i think giving away less data might be better, that’s why i’m commenting here

ooh, every information has some value to it.

for example, you could analyze the aggregate (i.e. how many people in each country, how long it takes them to see the messages, how often they are online, …)

also, it might be testing out the messaging system for later, more elaborate attacks.

yeah it could well be that something shady is going on here. maybe it would be a good idea to limit how many messages a user account may send to, let’s say, 500 or sth.

that would make these scams/ads less doable.

fun fact: i’m allergic to beans (i think), but i still like it here

Yeah i just hope it stays that way and users stay genuine. A while ago i noticed some users who were really stubborn about some weird agenda. Not sure if bot or just stupid human.

Also, nicole (the fediverse chick) is turning into a problem.

I just hope that Lemmy stays nice. I don’t want it to reach 100 million+ users and be overwhelmed with RAGEBAIT and scams.
