There's bound to be hiccups with the instance system, but I like that Lemmy has given me the power to host my own. It was honestly really satisfying to get it working and deployed on production hardware, and I wouldn't have gotten that experience if I had just stuck to Reddit.

It's looking really good, I'm really looking forward to it coming out.

Truly, the strength of Garfield is unmatched. May his enemies cower before his greatness.

Beyond being stupid, I'm fairly sure that this view is heretical. If gays are able to steal stuff from God, then God is subject to the mercy of humanity, and I'm pretty sure the church frowns upon that belief.

This is not an ethical mousetrap.

That would be very nice, though how it would be implemented would be difficult. One way it could potentially be done is the new server has to request control from the old one, that would be fairly secure but would introduce the problem of "What if the old one no longer exists?" It could be that there's a key that you send with your activity to verify it's you which can be moved to a new instance, but then you run into the issue of how to stop a malicious instance admin from getting your info. You could have a centralized authentication service, though many dislike that because it goes against federation to some extent. I know on Mastadon you can transition your followers, I don't know how it works but it's possible they figured out a good solution.

Basically. There was no announcement and no one's really sure what happened, the server kinda just died one day and the admin never said anything about it.

Yeah, after what happened to VLemmy I decided to start my own instance, that way as long as I maintain it I know for a fact that it won't just go down.

Absolutely. Especially when you inherit the codebase from someone else, and you don't feel like putting in the weeks of effort to fix it.

I think you're using the word right correctly, ultimately you're pointing out things that you think people should have inherently and that shouldn't be based on merits or taken from someone based on crimes. I generally agree with your list, though to add on I think that the right to transportation is fundamental to enabling most opportunities in a society and that the United States could greatly improve upon their public transit system.
