TagSpaces is a cross-platform file browser that operates very similarly to a regular file browser except it supports tags

If you're just using Windows files.community does something similar with a tighter integration with Windows

The benefit of both is that all their organization features sit on top of the regular file system so you can continue using the organization you have already

    I guess my concern is that as a user who created their account on programming.dev, it feels like it's coming out of nowhere. I like browsing the communities here, I hadn't seen the original post on the other instance before this thread, and if I had missed this thread this whole instance would just disappear seemingly randomly.

    I'm a programmer by trade and by hobby so when creating my account I went with "the programming instance." Now I'm hearing that because of a thread on a different instance (lemmy.ml) this instance is defederating with programming.dev.

    I get that you can migrate to another instance, but if decisions on defederation can be made based on the actions of one person this could definitely happen again, and I don't make a habit of following an instance admin to make sure I agree with everything they say. It seems exhausting and unsustainable to constantly check other instances for inter-instance conflicts just to see the communities I like/want to be a part of

  • It's a great feature, but the "inter-instance politics" of it are exhausting. I'm a programmer by trade and by hobby so when creating my account I went with "the programming instance."

    I like browsing the communities here, I hadn't seen the original post on the other instance before this thread, and if I had missed this thread this whole instance would just disappear seemingly randomly.

    I get that you can migrate to another instance, but given how this is going how can I be sure this won't happen again and I'd lose access to instances out of nowhere? It seems unsustainable to constantly check other instances for inter-instance conflicts just to see the communities I like

    I agree with separating from different minded groups, but these are the words of one person who set up the instance who definitely doesn't speak for the "programming group." I feel like action could be taken against the individual without basically punishing the entire instance
