Can someone explain the 4D chess going on here? AFAIK this was just tweet diplomacy, the US hasn’t passed anything about this. So why would google want to handle all the complaints and backlash they’ll take for this?

K I think it should be fixed now.

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.

IMO its a good idea to cross-post to many communities across the fediverse, but as @davel pointed out, it can look like spam if its to a lot of only tangentially related communities.

Use the report button also to report transphobia, so we can get to it asap.
