True and it’s basically the same for other Adobe products.
Tried to do some fx using davinci fusion, all the damn tutorials are outdated, too much work trying to figure it out for a shitpost.
It ended with me oppening After Effects, using Copilot and rendering.
Most of the time FOSS, but things like After Effects that already has a huge community or plugins or things that make it super easy to use, then I just pirate it.
Yes, I know there are alternatives, but most of the time the curve to learn how to achieve the same thing is much more steep or it lacks the free plugins/presets that make it simple for a normal home user that might use it every now and then to create a shitpost or something.
Honestly I don’t care about stories, but I hope that encourages my friends to pay attention to it.
True, the rest of the point stands and there’s a worrying slow reaction against communities/instances that are actually dangerous
Not committed, I like Lemmy so far and have no reason to go back to Reddit (I miss mexican news and memes [not the propaganda that the mods from the main sub enabled]), but if something better arises I could easily move over because why not?
Did you know that’s how r/thedonald actually started? It was meant to be satire but it attracted those who were serious and look at what happebed.
The software is open-source, you or anyone who knows the language could fork it and work on it, hopefully someone less problematic.
This post could have been a message to the admins. Just contact them, ask if you could have a community for the kind of art you sell and how you plan to keep it from being/becoming too spammy with the links.
Having to do so much research just to join an instance is one of the biggest problems of the fediverse.
I honestly doubt they’ll open again, they’ll get so used to their safe-space that they won’t be able to handle all the shitposting.
And we know mod tools can only do so much, if they couldn’t handle it with not so many users, I don’t know what are they going to do later if more instances keep appearing and growing.
So literally “Suffering from success”
I mean, they said it in their post, they want to be a safe space so… VERY different from what reddit was, someone else already said it, but they’d be better using a forum than the fediverse (specially with so little mods).
I can see why they need to do it, they apparently only have 4 main mods for the entire server
Why would they think that would be enough to withstand the waves from reddit? That was just a disaster waiting to happen.
The software right now is extremely lacking in many aspects that it’s hard to pin point which priority should be higher than other (specially since I ain’t helping to it), but yeah I assume there appeared so many bugs when the waves started that we can only be patient.
With that said, I think it’s a pretty amazing concept that they can. Terrible, sure, but nonetheless amazing.
I’ve been calling it a double-edged sword from the moment I knew that could happen in Mastodon and after I joined Lemmy, we see as normal to block lemmygrad from the beginning and that’s understandable, but if an owner goes block-happy they could leave a lot of people stranded and inside their echo-chamber.
They’d be losing everything then and would be forced to migrate to other instance or create their own which may be too much as time goes by and people post more and more.
I said this from the beginning but until we get migration tools to carry our content with us to other instance, think of your account as disposable.
It isn’t about keeping it alive or improving the game, it’s about milking the idiots who keep shelling out money and defending battlepasses + mtx, once the money runs out they’ll just kill it and move on.
I’m using Stylus for Firefox and it works so far
Cool, still not worth going through all the learning curve for a shitpost and then not touching it again for months
