And this is why I always use a VPN on my phone.
With ya there. I would totally wear sweatpants to work if I were allowed to though.
OK so I’m user Linux and currently using nobara(GE’s version of fedora). Should I be considering a distro hop in the near future?
Yes, up to minimum wage, which is still often not enought to live on.
I’m not worried about seeing their content, that’s something I can control. I’m worried that these trolls are going to get us defederated from the majority of lemmy. That is not something I can control, and it would suck to have to look for a new instance, make a new account, and redo all my subscriptions just because a bunch of red hats decided to make this server their home base for some reason. I don’t want to be associated with them, so if they stay and we get defederated, I’m probably going to have to leave, even though I have so far liked this community.
If you don’t like the way the admins are doing things, you are FREE to go to another instance or start your own.
When I suggested the subdomain name, I was mostly being a smartass, but I was also referencing secure shell. I never even thought of it as shhh, it just works, that’s great.
Let’s just, not give OP the attention they are toxicly seeking, ok?
I hope this is the case, I would still like to be able to see their content, even if they can’t see ours.
I replied to this comment with my alt and edited my original comment in that conversation but I don’t think lemmy.ml is working/federating correctly or something, oh well fake internet points aren’t that big a deal, I’m just happy to have helped, it makes this server feel more sentimental to me.
Yea if they want to defederate will all instances that have an open registration policy they are going to miss out on a lot of things, they are also going to have to defederate a lot of instances. I’m a little sad because theres a lot of decent content on that instance and is going to be inaccessible to a lot of users now, but whatever, their admins made their choice.
See https://sh.itjust.works/comment/113002 for the story of sh. Like I said in that comment, I can’t prove I was the one BC I nuked my reddit account, but the tldr is I was being a smartass on reddit and they rolled with it so naturally I had to join this instance, lol.
I have no way to prove this story since I burned my reddit account, but I might as well share: when I was checking out lemmy for the first time I got both a beehaw and a lemmy.ml account(both were a pain to wet up) and both had serious reliability issues(this was right after the API announcement). I was looking on reddit to try and find more info about other instances then I found a comment chain with a couple of guys, one said he had a server, the other said he had the domain itjust.works and was looking for a subdomain. I though about it for a moment, and in a moment of sheer smartassery I suggested sh.itjust.works. not long after I saw in the comment chain that they went with my suggestion and put the server up lmao. At that point I knew they were chill, so I made an account on here as soon as I saw that it had gone up, and it’s been rock solid ever since.
Edit: as @TheDude and others have pointed out, this happened here on the lemmy.ml instance, not reddit. It seems my memory is at fault lmao. I’m going to keep the rest of this comment unedited because its a good story anyways, but yea, I was wrong about where it happened. I’m glad I was wrong tho since i t means I still have that account, lol.
Right on! So I have a question, if I posted something that got me banned from lemmy.ml (such as an article criticizing the CCP for example) I would just not have access to the communities on that instance right? Like it won’t affect my experience in other instances right?
At the risk of upsetting people, most if not all religions. They can’t all be right.
I just ran powerdelete suit on my reddit accounts and replaced all of my posts/comments with ones urging users to join lemmy. I was going to wait until July 1rst but if reddit is going to get that serious, then so am I. I am OUT!
