:D fantastic news, now we must spread the news because I don’t think anyone (On the Threadiverse) knows about it LMAO

I’m popping my popcorn, I’ll be back later 🍿

Sounds like CF is just offering it as a service to their customers (e.g. platform/website operators). CF will handle detection and billing, but the money will mostly be going to the website (minus fees, I’m sure they’re not doing it for free)

So if it’s a content creator running their own website through CF then that money would definitely be going towards them. It gets muddier when it’s a platform like say Patreon or big social media.

Because it has utility for a wider audience, I do skip hyper specific questions.

As for the why:

Why am I cross-posting .ml?

I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some niche comms.

Megathread on the issue

Some highlights from the link:

"Don’t worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167

“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342

.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558

CW: Original transphobic Comment from Nutomic

“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510

“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415

And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.

I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda

On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.

An hour late :( lmao

It’s an open ended question, just speak from your perspective/use case/problems and solutions

True, but, KHTML hasn’t been developed now for a decade.

Iirc, the Chrome engine is a fork of KHTML as well.

There’s also open source Servo engine, which kinda works ok for specific use cases

And there’s Ladybird browser, the first browser with a from-scratch browser engine, it started 5 or 6 years ago and isn’t targeting its first alpha until 2027

Those are the 2 closest to being ready for “Average Joe Usage” and they are not even close to being ready for prime time.

Lol, all FF derivatives still rely on Mozilla for maintaining the browser engine. One of the most complicated pieces of software to develop, and there’s only 3 fully operational ones. Chrome, Safaris Webkit and FFs Gecko. MS gave up on their engine because it was so difficult to maintain.

Should Mozilla go full tilt enshittification and close the source or something, all the derivatives will wither and die.

You might actually be a wizard lmao

Yea, our engineered stuff might be simplistic compared to the brain and biology, but evolution is just a combination of luck, randomness and “unguided” trial and error. There’s no “thought” to evolution and that’s why we end up with all these…weird quirks and flaws LMAO

Oof you’re going to have a real “fun” time at the border explaining yours lmao

LMAO me trying to post a Linux article in [email protected] is always a 50/50 on if you got to it first 😂

Not really, all OC content gets proper attribution or shows in the crosspost links section/menu. If I missed one, lmk, I am after all human and mistakes happen

Lol, I’ve been wanting to tear down my old laptops down to the board and run them “bare” in my rack as some sort of cluster lmao

I’m not sure for all use cases, I can confidently say that if you depend on networking features of X or something like xrdp (Like me lol) then that’s going to be a solid NO

But if not, then maybe?

¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ it was mostly for others.

But on a technical note, subscriber count is an almost useless metric on Lemmy. There are a LOT of dead accounts.

A far better metric is MAUs, which .ml linux ranks 29th

Ugh, don’t remind me, I get annoyed whenever I see them in the checkout lane.

Yes we actually still have them, but we have them in the most insulting way, basically one half of the shell is a candy part and the other is the toy and each half is separate by its own film covering.

I bet it was because one kid in the 80s or some shit was in some freak accident or something and the Pearl Clutchers of America™ rode in on their high horse to protect everyone lol

Nice! You even went through the effort to make the head silhouette match 🤌
