Yea that’s not explained better than a math teach. They just swapped notation common in math, for notation common in one specific programming language. it’s only easier for the audience who happens to be familiar with programming in general, and that language in particular.

that, or just use the mobile page which is designed for such narrow aspects.

hard disagree. This isn’t black and white, you can do some of both and that is not wrong or unprincipled. Thinking otherwise is just simple minded.

any mods that rolled over to continue doing an unpaid job just to retain some form of power are bitches.

Personally, I don’t believe that POV is fair. As someone who, with a small group of friends, started a sub that has grown to 100k people and is the most active internet community for a niche gaming segment - i personally think it’s not that easy to judge. I have not been active on my sub in years, and I leave the job up to the new guard, but I can completely respect the decision to want to keep something you invested in building alive and a positive influence in the area it affects. It’s easy to armchair QB stuff like this and judge others decisions, but to just generalize and say “better to die than to think something else is better in the bigger picture” is a bit of a cop out imo.

yea, mastodon clients are only good for microblogs, not for threaded discussion like here or kbin.

from what i understand, this is syntax implemented on lemmy. it’s not from the deeper ActivtyPub protocol all of these things are implementing. If that’s true, it won’t render on kbin how it does on lemmy.
