So use Mastodon. Problem solved. Twitter is toxic. You can't fix Twitter without fixing the whole culture.

Getting rid of Elon (in some hypothetical universe where you could do that) & restoring the site's design back to what it used to be isn't going to change the toxic culture. Twitter only selectively enforces their own rules and it's been that way since Jack Dorsey was in charge.

(Here's an example: I can think of a few tweets where people are ganging up on someone and those are still there to this day. Their rules are very clearly 'no harassment and no dogpiling' and they've always been that way. Do you think they give a damn to enforce their own rules? Only when Elon's right-wing buddies are being attacked, then they bother.)

Restoring the site's design back to what it used to be isn't going to magically fix the toxic culture (people sniping, dogpiling, attacking others etc). Better if we just set the whole thing on fire and start from scratch, build something new - oh wait, we have that. It's called Mastodon. The learning curve isn't that bad. But that would be learning something new. That would be actively doing something other than complaining.

Why would you want to back to a place where a billionaire or a corporation collects all your personal data? If you like that sort of thing, go to Threads, Bluesky, Post, etc. Nobody's stopping you.

The Klingon boy band made the final cut, thankfully. However, they shot two versions of the Klingons, led by Bruce Horak as the Klingon captain. The second was opera. Ultimately, the opera take felt too close to the other singing. Luckily, the Klingon boy band won.

Correction: Uhura*

That's a lot of words just to say "we know nothing".

In other words, they're literally going to grease the wheels.

Just to clear something up, CalcKey is now known as Firefish(.social) and that's run by a completely different person.

I completely understand what was said - that is not the problem. I'm well aware.

The problem is that I misread the issue I linked to.

My comment has since been edited.

Just a suggestion, you might want to insert the word "allegedly" somewhere in there because Meta is refuting that assertion.

"To be clear: ‘No one on the Threads engineering team is a former Twitter employee — that’s just not a thing" - Andy Stone, Meta's communications director

edit: yes I know that doesn't preclude the possibility of Meta hiring former Twitter employees and not making them part of the Threads team.

Short answer: No.

tl;dr answer: There's no tagging function in place unless you manually tag them using markdown, and that still wouldn't notify them. That would be a bandaid solution at best.

I still use it with a couple of friends on a private server.

Please excuse my sub-par JavaScript, I am a backend dev.

All you need to do is paste this into Tampermonkey and enter your username and your instance url (on two locations).

This is not showing other users’ scores and it doesn’t make your score visible to anyone else than yourself.

So no need for karma farming. This is just for fun.

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Lemmy score
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/

referencing users on Lemmy is not at all the same as reddit, since there are multiple instances.

there's no automagic function for it (at least not on the web there isn't - that's probably why you couldn't find one), you just have to do it by hand.

ie. [@[email protected]](http://lemmy.world/u/foreverwinter) becomes: @[email protected]
