The second reddit exodus is officially upon us
Stone is nowhere near as permanent as people think it is anyway. I mean look at the Appalachians, they were thought to be once as tall as the Himalayas but they aren't anymore, and they are much smoother. stone isn't permanent over long periods of time. But in case you think that's permanent enough, stone can weather and crack, even completely crumble in timescales comparable to a human lifetime. It's really not as permanent as people think it is.
Dude give it a rest, you were asked to stop many times. This shit ends here, and now. Do not contact me or mention me anymore.
I wish they had emphasized in the video the importance of the thigh highs. They never mentioned it in the video though 😕
It kind of does. Maybe it could be an abstract mix of both an eye and also a black hole. Unless I remember wrong they did that in the intro to the Cosmos, they had an eye and faded it into an image of a black hole with an accretion disc around it.
I use almost the same setup, except I don't use Windows on Desktop.
I usually do smaller things when on mobile, both due to Storage and Data Usage considerations. For bigger stuff I mainly use my PC and qbittorrent.
qbittorrent on PC and libretorrent on Android.
Yeah it's unfortunate. The fact that Lemmy's Devs used Rust doesn't make it any better. The cynical part of me says they used Rust to make it hard to contribute to for others. The slightly less but still cynical part thinks they did it because they thought it was trendy.
Regardless I do hope we eventually get there and threaded Fediverse will have a thriving userbase. With appropriate anti spam solutions that aren't this:
That actually is a good point, and for ones who are in that position I would agree. Honestly I feel the Lemmy devs should be trying to make anti-spam like this easier on people than advocating we make people play 20 questions of jump through hoops to join. Because this hurts us all in the long run.
I know in Fediverse rhetoric people parrot crap about how growth isn't important but that's dumb and wrong. It absolutely is otherwise I'm talking to myself when I try to start a community, and that feels like shit.
It's not even just this server, it's the growing amount of servers that do, and by comparison our registrations are way better, many of the others are way more vague and unhelpful, they carry the chance of being denied when you aren't a spammer. Which is where most of my animosity towards this comes from. I obviously don't blame you for this, if anything I blame the Lemmy devs for encouaging this as not a solution but THE solution. With no regard for how this impacts growth and onboarding.
Also I say I'd believe it when I see it because I am on a handful of servers who haven't decided to become bouncers and they're not brimming with more spam than scripts can handle. It's doesn't seem like a real systemic problem, maybe we should learn a thing or two from the admins of sh.itjust.works when it comes to automated handling of spam.
You know I read something some user wrote about how they believed manual approval was bad for the fediverse. I thought they were nuts or out of whack but after seeing this post and also the fact that almost every community I've attempted to start here and elsewhere has been a ghost town, and not for the lack of trying. I can't say I disagree with them anymore.
I know many admins say something about spam and trolls, and... let's just say I'll believe it when I see it, I think many over-exaggerate the spam problem, and I do believe spam defense could be largely automated. Also trolls? I have a whole spreadsheet filled with assholes who slipped through and registered with application processes, this isn't working for assholes who lie and come back.

All I know is that I desperately tried to start several communities and they never gained traction and I blame lack of user growth and the othering that happens when almost every server's admins decide to be bouncers.
I'm sorry if I sound hostile and angry, I just feel like this place is becoming much less inviting to others, we continue trying to make it harder for people to get in, set up barriers and annoyances. It hurts most when I try hard to start communities and no one knows about them or comes. That's not to say I haven't tried, I've tried very hard short of spamming links places going "Hey guys please join !dragons@pawb.social and post pics and discussions about dergs 🐉" something that wouldn't end well for me or the community.
Sorry for this kind of angry rant, I sound unhinged, and I probably am.
I mean we're not going to have a cohesive icon set since user created communities will always be varied. That kind of order only works on instances like Beehaw where there aren't varied local communities. So in that sense recognizable but also varied logos make more sense on the majority of Lemmy instances.
You really can't take a hint can you?
Torrents-CSV looks really good. It would be great if they had a search plugin for that honestly. It's just nice to be able to initiate downloads from Qbittorent itself.
I think this is less meant for long term torrent sharing and more meant for people to use the BitTorrent protocol to share stuff with each other. They're only sharing it with a small group of people.
It's not like a traditional private tracker where it's a group of people, or a public one where it's the whole world.
Dragonfucker also harassed me on an alt account, made many bad faith accusations towards me, told me to kill myself, even threatened to kill me. Every single comment pinged every one of my accounts. The last one was really scary because they asked Lemmy admins to help track me down so I could be tortured.
I've copied this elsewhere but I also think it's a good idea to share it here as well, see the spoiler below for screenshots of the abusive interactions from this alt (I censored the porn): ::: spoiler CW: Abusive content, threats, suicide encouragement, harassment
A lot of contextual information for these isn't here, to get it the admins of pawb.social and discuss.online would need to be contacted as the content and user accounts associated have been banned. :::

Edit: I'm so sure this was dragonfucker, I'd bet money on it. The circumstances were way too suspicious.
It's still newer than HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
Better yet, tear the wifi antenna off the board, can't connect to wifi without any antenna, no matter how hard you try.
This seems like a dumb question, BitTorrent absolutely is still relevant and probably the most popular method of file sharing in the scene. Foss groups use it too for distributing ISO files for Operating systems, and it might even be used as the video hosting provider in future Fediverse YouTube alternatives (I've heard talk of a video hosting platform on Fedi which uses activitypub for everything else but hosts videos via BitTorrent) pretty cool stuff.
So yeah BitTorrent is still relevant, and it makes sense since if it isn't broken why fix it? Not to say that it couldn't be better, the biggest problem with it is the anonymity issue, but until someone makes something better BitTorrent will continue to be popular, and the ideal choice for decentralized file sharing, especially in the piracy scene.
I'm glad to see more people are joining this instance, and Lemmy as a whole.
