Very interesting, thanks! Is it possible for people to register on that relay?

Let us know how it goes, really curious to see how much an enthusiast can self-host!

Lemmy

And Mbin and Piefed!

Just posted on !fedimemes@feddit.uk

Nice!

Seems like the LW community isn't that active anyway

Hello @Zoidsberg@lemmy.ca,

It has been a month now, and !lotrmemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com is now more active than !lotrmemes@midwest.social (2.94K users / month vs 2.51K users / month).

Would you consider creating a meta post to explain the situation to the community, suggesting them to move to the new community?

You can probably also become a mod there, I guess @PugJesus@lemmy.world wouldn't mind.

Friendica looks legitimately old school. Some people might like the aesthetic, but I guess it's not the taste of the majority

Also, why not join !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca? Seems quite active.

It’s the fact that I am an admin that led me to speak out, because I feel like these behaviors are harmful to my users who I’m supposed to advocate for and protect, and harmful to the success of Lemmy, which I’m deeply invested in through my role as an admin.

The intent might be good, but the execution was definitely lacking. And why can't normal users advocate for Lemmy? Is that an admin privilege?

only to get shoved off the path by tankies and others who continually abuse them

Have you considered defederating SJW from Lemmy.ml? That would be a bold move, but could help in this context

I personally mod using alts, to limit the reach of potential drama should I have controversial takes, or heated discussions with other users.

As you probably noticed, one of the element that made the drama blow up was you making derogatory comments using your admin account. Would this has been on a normal account, the impact would probably have been much lower.

Lemm.ee and Lemmy.zip usually get praised on their invisible admins. You see them post the updates about the servers from time to time, but that's it.

No, instances can be run by enthusiasts and keep operating based on donations

The likely answer to this is that there will always have to be a large corporation at the heart of Bluesky/ATProto, and the network will have to rely on that corporation to do the work of abuse mitigation, particularly in terms of illegal content and spam. This may be a good enough solution for Bluesky's purposes, but on the economics alone it's going to be a centralized system that relies on trusting centralized authorities.

Then it's not really decentralized

Wasn't there already !plantbased@lemmy.dbzer0.com for the last one?

So interesting that as soon as the head admin steps down, this ridiculous bullshit crops up.

Did Ruud step down?

Who's Eugene? I thought Ruud was the main admin

Well done!

There are countries where every service has their official support on WhatsApp. I just booked a medical appointment via WhatsApp, it's the preferred method of communication.
