Sorry if this is not the right community, but I wonder if lemmy.world plans to defederate Facebook?

Turns out that technology is NOT harmful to kids - Lemmy.world

Classic case of “If the research doesn’t support your position, lie like a rug.”

Can subscription list be sorted by activity? - Lemmy.world

I have a really bad habit held over from The Place that Must Not be Named of subscribing to everything that looks interesting. If it isn’t actually active or interesting, it gets unsubscribed. Is there a way to sort my list here to see which communities are active?

Backup Lemmy Accounts - Lemmy.world

Out of curiosity, where do you have your backup account in case of outage or shutdown of your home instance? This has been on my mind since the .ml fiasco started.

Huffman Interview with NPR

Huffman Interview with NPR - Lemmy.world

Interesting read. I get where he’s coming from vis a vis training data for LLMs. But if those are the problem, negotiate a solution with those companies or block their crawlers. Don’t kill the apps making the site usable for everyone else. No doubt, his comments are accurate as far as they go albeit completely out of context. I’d be much more interested in knowing how many of the top 100 subs (rather than top 5000) have reopened. I’d like to know what “top” even means here. I’m sure that 97% of mods don’t use 3rd party apps (according to Huffman) because they mod subs of a few dozen to a few hundred members or their subs are almost completely inactive. In other words, this is interesting damage control, but it needs a lot more context. And NPR’s quality control and fact-checking are sadly lacking.

New Contract Clause - Lemmy.world

So my uni has now included a “no resignation” clause in next year’s contracts. It’s my first year getting this type of contract, so maybe it’s always been there, but it seems strange – not to mention probably ultimately unenforceable.
