Full-Time Software Engineer, part-time hobby juggler— I run and lift because I like suffering and my woodworking and 3D printing projects are proof that patience is real and mediocrity IS acceptable! Married to a beautiful woman, because sometimes miracles DO happen. I've always got an audiobook playing in one ear, and always looking out for clear skies so I can take the telescope out!

@gracjan@ieji.de @re_chief@mastodon.social @christianselig@mastodon.social I read on a Lemmy thread that there are folks working on a reddit-compatible API for lemmy, which would mean next to no effort in migrating from reddit to Lemmy for existing apps, could be the start of something exciting!

@stpaultim @bruvik The prevalence of Nazi's may not be a tech problem, but building a scale-able solution for keeping them it is one. Manual moderation just doesn't work at Twitter/Facebook scales and is too prone to human bias. Not that I have any actual solution 😅

@stpaultim Very fair point, and I'm a software engineer with very poor people skills, so I don't doubt that my tendency to look for technical solutions is itself a personal bias 😅
