But that’s pretty much the standard answer to any suggestion for improvement.

Thank you for trying to help, I don’t know what 80% of that means or how it relates to an update.

I just don’t understand why there isn’t a simple straightforward update in plain English

I’m sorry but that also doesn’t make sense. This is what I see.

And then the next card is blank!

Please can someone just give a straightforward English update? It doesn’t have to be detailed just enough so I don’t give up.

I’m afraid that means little to me. Hopefully, someone can give an update.

I commented on the announcement a couple of weeks ago but there was no reply.

The announcement made it sound like sublinks was imminent but if you go to sublinks.org everything is still Coming Soon.

Does anyone have an update on the announcement?

I was trying to explain to an elderly friend that people don’t just phone other people now and certainly not at times they will be doing something.

She found it hard to accept that many people find it rude to be called unannounced.

As an example, at one time if someone was organising a social event (eg party) they would phone around to invite people.

But that’s incredibly rude you are imposing on someone and also asking them to decide or excuse themselves on the spot.

You’ll need to explain what has happened. The screenshot doesn’t seem to show much.

Actually it’s not compatible with the new authentication method in Lemmy 0.19 so as soon as that rolls out to your instance you’ll not be able to log in and there will be missing posts and problems with the list of communities.

Some instances have already upgraded.

And that’s were moderation (the act of moderation) comes in as a first step rather than instant defederation.

I haven’t mentioned anything about Trans people at all ? There’s nothing to negotiate and I don’t disagree that trans people have a right to be treated with respect and have their rights respected.

I get what you’re saying. There’s a mindset in the fediverse that everyone on an instance is responsible for it. Even if the bad actors join later. The instance gets defederated but as a user it can be really hard to know if your instance is defederated.

It’s a deeply unpopular opinion and anyone who suggests that federation is simultaneously a huge advance and a big problem seems to get downvoted.

You’re right, ultimately instead of being exposed to a range of views some of which are challenging we’ll end up in little echo chambers.

We need more moderation and less defederation.
