I think the real problem is that Automattic did not plan for another company to get this volume of customers using WordPress, creating a burden on WordPress servers that is not compensated for.

What they should have done is set limits or payment plans above a certain volume of connections or transfers from a person’s or company’s servers.

The problem is to act in this way, suddenly, apparently without foresight and that the possible problems will have to be borne mainly by WP Engine users.

Yes, but I guess what is limited is access to those resources from a site running on WP Engine servers. I also assume that users can download the themes from outside WP Engine and install them anyway.

The Subversion repositories with the code are also public. Anyone can use them. There is no restriction of freedom by restricting access to such a repository, if the code is still publicly available.

This way WP Engine still has the opportunity to mount its plugin and theme repositories, without taking abusive advantage of the WordPress repository infrastructure.

There is work, energy consumption and so on behind it. Expenses that WP Engine is not taking on and does not even want to compensate for.

Automattic’s reaction may seem like overkill, but it’s a clear and forceful wake-up call to companies that are out to parasite their work and infrastructure. They do it because they have a privileged position. I think they are right to do so.

This does not mean that somebody could criticize a possible lack of consistency when Automattic is the company that adopts abusive attitudes towards third parties.

I’m not clear, has access to the code been denied or only access to other types of resources hosted on WordPress servers?

The FSF has clear guidelines and follows them rigorously, nothing else. It’s good that they don’t make exceptions. Any problem with microcode or other proprietary drivers starts with the fact that they are not free. Making exceptions would partially solve the problem, but the situation would not change significantly, and the FSF would then be violating its own principles.

The FSF’s job in this regard is to try to open debate about the problems of not having free security patches and, in any case, to try to uncover hidden vulnerabilities in proprietary tools and facilitate the creation of free tools that solve the problems.

The most reasonable thing to do is to cite the original publication and its author.

Not a bad idea. It would not be difficult to include it in this project.

Literally.

Avoiding alcohol is a good idea, especially when taking any type of medication.

My laptop for home use is almost 15 years old. My desktop is almost 11 years old. My work laptop is 8 years old. Here they are talking about more modern and powerful equipment, defining them as obsolete. I don’t know, maybe we should start questioning if these consumption dynamics are a bit harmful.

Since there only are tools for filter or arrange contents, nor complex algorithms suggesting contents, this kind of functions are not implemented.

Perhaps someday some finer filtering by community or some way to limit the number of posts from each community will be implemented.

But I don’t think it’s a priority for developers at this time.

Boa tarde.

Entendo que na atualidade já estás a usar serviços de hospedagem geridos por empresas. Não estás a hospedar os serviços no teu hardware. Então aí não haveria mais que uma mudança de empresa que interessaria por oferecer alguma vantagem.

Entendo que na oferta de patrocínio dalguma maneira querem ter publicidade nas instâncias. Deixam claro o que querem fazer?

Poderia ser Dinahosting ou talvez outra empresa. Eu, a verdade, não tenho conhecimento suficientemente profundo de como se move este mundo, mas sei que haveria outras alternativas com infraestrutura local e que ofereçam emprego de qualidade.

Talvez caia alguma proposta mais por aqui.

Saúdos.

I wrote it some days ago, about the same issue:

https://lemmy.ml/post/241826

But it’s hard to imagine that it works that way.

Would it, then, be used to republish a comment when the content is accessed from other Fediverse platforms?

Although the link gives an error in the browser, it can actually be used to look for the comment. I used it here from Tusky for Android.

I had to copy the link. I can’t imagine what’s the context where the icon is used directly without leading to an error, because, anyway, browsing the Lemmy instance, when the Fediverse icon is clicked, a link is opened in a new tab with a 404 error. It’s an undesirable behavior.

Yes, thanks. Anyway I’ve seen that and I mentioned it.

If I try to open this comment in a new browser tab by pressing the Fediverse icon above, it redirects to https://lemmy.ml/comment/166757 that doesn’t exist.

Edit: After reading some answers I have understood that the link does exist, but not to be opened directly from a browser, but to access the answer from other Fediverse platforms. What doesn’t make sense is that if you press It from the Lemmy web interface it leads to a 404 error.

The correct address is https://lemmy.ml/post/241826/comment/166757 the same that is generated and copied to clipboard by pressing the icon in the form of links near the Fediverse icon.

I suppose a comment can be deleted or a user can be banned depending on who manages and moderates each community within an instance, apart from the rules (if any) that they establish in each case. It would be a problem of certain communities, which in others does not appear.

In regard to meat eating, I presume that the case would be given in a vegan thematic community, possibly with comments in an unconstructive attitude or out of context.

There can be the case that a community exists as a propagandistic platform in which no debate with discordant positions is allowed. It’s probably not the best practice, but there it is. You can also negatively evaluate publications, try to create new post introducing and argumenting your disconformity, or even disagree by not participating or blocking the community.

I think there are other communities that are not like this for now. There is also the option to participate in other instances or to host your own.

Ok. Thank you. Let’s try again!

I created my first Lemmy accounts in two instances hosted by people near me. I’ve found some problems to interact with people in other instances, except for lemmy.ml.

It could be some federation lack between instances.I don’t know.

The maintenance, support and moderation of the instanc are also important to choose it for the daily use.

Finally I created an account in lemmy.ml and it’s the only one I’m using now.

Yes, it’s so easy and it’s well documented. You only need to read some documents about the prerequisites you need, launch the installer and follow the instructions to easily configure the service you want to put online.
