  • I guess in this case it's that this behavior is really opposed to Beehaw's values.

    Edit: they have been banned in the meantime, good job mods

  • Oh, you guys are back, that's nice!

  • I am curious: how did you even know to try that - is it written in the docs somewhere, or you just tried it and it worked?

    Someone else told me this. Seems like it's kind of a secret Lemmy technique that is passed from person to person ha ha

  • Thank you, dear Photon dev!

  • Slrpnk is really a nice instance

  • They are always on r/RedditAlternatives steering people towards the Fediverse too, along with a few others. Unfortunately most people there are resistant, and the heavily leftist-leaning nature of the content here turns a lot of people away (many instances including reddthat.com do not block either hexbear.net or lemmygrad.ml by default for new users, so all those posts promoting literal violence against e.g. landlords show up immediately in their All feeds), but it is still awesome to see them trying!:-)

    Yeah, some people there have the worst bad faith I've ever seen. Anyway, at least some other people can read the comments and learn about Lemmy.

  • It’s easy to say just pack up and move … but I’ve been really struggling to find an alternative for !linux@lemmy.ml, to name one example. The equivalent communities !linux@lemmy.world and !linux@programming.dev are rather stale with days old posts without comments.

    !linux@programming.dev now has 983 weekly active users: https://programming.dev/post/15328354

    I think that the larger instances also have a role to play here. If they would defederate from lemmy.ml, it would urge users along to move away from lemmy.ml communities towards communities on other, more suitable instances.

    People have choices. If they want to keep using the Lemmy.ml community, that's their freedom. The alternatives exist, if they want to switch, they can.

    Intrigued by your name change, you are really pushing for this.

  • Thank you for the info
