I was fairly pleased with the activity over the first week, but all of a sudden I am seing a lot of communities that have now been inactive for days.

All Reddit had to do was hold out and people's desire to be given endless content they didn't have to contribute towards would win out.

I'll be sticking around as I like the selfhosted nature of ActivityPub, plus we may see another boon on the 1st of July.

I'm trying to get into the habit of posting everyday, I fell out of it on reddit because it grew so big and would often go nowhere.

Mods rejecting posts willy-nilly, users who sit on /new thinking they can be the gatekeeper, shadowbanning of a post without being informed. It's going to take some time to get used to posting more.

I disagree with twitter, I wanted to continue using it despite the issues but the tweets and replies I was seeing was such a drop in quality that it naturally phased out of my routine, which I've from others in person that felt the same.

Reddit is a sharper change for us, twitter kind of just declined out of being worthwile.

If I wasn't deleting unnecessary emails, that would run out in about 24 months.

I was thinking it's only a matter of userbase before a piracy Lemmy instance gets a DMCA, their domain registrar and/or host would be the thing that can't be avoided.

Most likely we will just see mirrored instances like with torrent indexers.

The free tier is only 500mb, but I've been using it as my primary email for a year and with spam management I'm only at 100mb.

Given the size of Reddit, admins don't check when mods abuse users, I had my 10 yr account with 150K nearly permabanned because of a mod banning me from my own countries sub for posting a non offensive meme on the wrong day.

I wasn't logged in on a computer, was using Reddit which showed me my local subs by default and the saved login credentials was a different alt.

I was typing a comment reply, realised I wasn't logged and signed in with the other alt, didn't realise it wasn't another local sub and I got suspended Reddit wide for "ban evasion" and nearly lost a decade old major account because a mod in my countries sub abused their position.

I never retaliated, wasn't rude, didn't genuinely try to evade the ban and nearly lost a decade of activity.

There are a lot of benefits to the fediverse and I plan on hosting my own personal instance soon.

It's very manageable if Lemmy UI is improved to make it easier to have more smaller nodes, rather than big instances.

So long as discovery of communities is easier across instances, it won't matter if you are in a mini instance of say 100, which is extremely light on demand.

You can self-host on a Raspberry Pi, it's just that people naturally gravitate to large instances were they trust their account won't disappear as easily.

If we could also choose to host community indexers that all instances can access, separately from our instance, it would become easier to join a small instance that doesn't have its own community.

Your entire account would have to be admin level wouldn't it?

I think 1 Million in the first month since the start of the blackout would be headline news, but I'm not sure if we'd have the server capacity for it yet.

The second digital game I bought was for the Xbox 360, State of Decay.

The bloke had a milly, threw it at the wind and expected it to come back to him.

I could understand people being disappointed that TNG was over and feeling that the replacement wasn't as great, but in itself watching it 10 years later I enjoyed it for the most part.

It was likely a combination of AI and manual tuning, like with modern photoshop plugins.

AI in this usecase is another tool for the engineer.

From what I've gathered, it was just AI to clean up a track that was previously too poorly recorded to release.

It's not synthesised, it's just repaired.

I plan to get thru them eventually, I have only completed Enterprise as it was shorter.

I am about 1/4 of the way thru each VOY, TNG & DS9.

No, it hasn't been cracked yet.
