  • Lots of things, but mainly that lemmy is pretty stable, and its been a year since the last breaking changes release.

    I was also kind of opposed to a v1.0, and wanted lemmy to be considered alpha/beta level software, because I know when we release a v.1.0, people are going to expect the same enterprise-level and bug-free software from a ~4 person dev team as they do from a multi-million dollar company. Also it gives us less freedom to make breaking changes, which can be restrictive for back-end devs.

    But now we can just adopt proper semver, and the next breaking changes releases can upgrade the MAJOR version.












  • I removed this because it has nothing to do with linux specifically, and as expected, it brought out a lot of people defending the use of this historically racist term, and /asablackman’ing it.

    I’ve reinstated it and removed the offending comments for now.

    Also I don’t know why this needs a discussion at all. There’s hundreds of words in english for something that looks good, and you can be more specific about it : snazzy, sleek, cool, streamlined, nifty, retro
