Maybe I'm too old (in my late 30) but I tend to be quite cynical. No good has come and the worst part has yet to come.

You are talking to an Italian, we have literal fas*ists leading the government and taking revenge for having been marginalized for the last 75 years so I can not judge other countries in any way.

I thank people replying to my comment because some insights were mind-opening. Unfortunately I think that if we are at this point (in southern and eastern Europe), most policies of the last years have been wrong. People are sick and tired of it.

The real underlying question is: did the EU expand eastwards too soon?

Thanks to you for the appreciation and for using the app, it really means a lot to me. I love Lemmy and I am really glad if I've managed to contribute even a tiny little bit to make this place nice for us all. This journey has made me grow as an individual (more than as a developer), I received a lot in terms of support, help, new friends, etc. and I hope to be able to give it back to the community.

Ahah correct! Each time an Italian hears about an "ugly car" the Duna is the first thing that comes to their mind. It must be wired in our brains.

Multi-communities? Really? 😍

Out of the frying pan into the fire? Another corrupt christian neoliberal, "without eastern influences" only until the wind changes? I doubt this is good news at all.

I'm Italian and just seeing Prodi's face (a picture of him 30 years ago btw) makes me sick. Don't worry guys, he has been never accurate in anything and literally lied to the nation in multiple occasions, so rest assured his words will never become true.

Welcome to this session! For the whole day I'll be looking at the replies to this thread and answer your questions. If something remains unanswered, replies can be posted even during the following days.

There are no rules, "anything" is anything! Use a grain of salt and a little bit of irony, though. Also, I would really like to hear something in your native language on your first comment: it can be a greeting, the question itself, a joke, an insult or anything crosses your mind in that moment. Have fun!

This fork is the new official one. A new community has been created recently to replace the old one too.

[-] akesi_seli@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

We are planning to release a new version, at least on GitHub asap. The announcement is likely to be given in tomorrow's Q&A session (the monthly AMA).

update: we have decided to continue the project starting from the latest active fork and re-create a new community here.

The last message before closing the old community stated that, after a break, it would be decided whether to restart from an existing fork or to recreate a repository in an anonymous account. We have decided to do both things, taking the most active fork (which was updated to the latest commit), transferring it to a neutral organization and using that as a starting point.

The biggest limit of the previous approach, as emerged on August 1st, was that even if the app was presented as a “community project”, its ownership and all the decision making process (as well as the majority of the development heavy-lifting) was concentrated in the hands of a single person, which could take questionable decisions due to personal contingencies. Being a human and having a single point of view, errors can be made and reactions can be disproportionate with respect to their causes.

In order to prevent this from happening again, the new organization will have a more open, transparent and community-driven approach, and everyone will have to participate more in the decision making process, so that ownership is shared as well as responsibility.

The new repository will be available here and we are working to restore everything so that a new development release will be available soon and can be installed from GitHub (in order to have a new Google Play account more time will be needed).

Moreover, in order to make sure everyone’s voice is listened to, there will be periodic AMA sessions once a month in this very community, using the [AMA] prefix in the post title. The session will be held the first Wednesday of each month, so the day after tomorrow will be the first one.

We hope you are convinced that mistakes like last week’s one will not happen again and you’ll participate in this new stage of the journey.
