  • 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.










  • 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.
