Programming.Dev

Hello P.D users. I’m sure the recent news of lemmy.world’s removal of piracy communities has not escaped the attention of many of you. For those who have not heard, here is their announcement on the matter. Now, being as transparent as possible, this is not a subject that the admin team of P.D have discussed in great detail up until this point. We have yet to create an explicit rule stating that piracy related content is forbidden on this instance, and doing so is not something any of us wish to do....

Its been a couple days which means I have the results of the threads federation poll we ran on the instance. The percentage difference between all of the options stayed relatively the same through the entire thing. This was ran as ranked choice voting which means the least voted option gets eliminated every round and the votes for that option are distributed among the peoples second or third choices depending on if that was their first or second choice....

In the past we said we were going to run a federation poll regarding Threads (activitypub compatible instance created by meta) and now that theyre ramping up federation and we have a new instance coming that would interact with that I decided its time to do so This poll is only open to people who have an account on programming.dev as it only affects those users (other instances decide federation on their own)....
