I saw a couple from instances with no posts this morning so I just added those instances to my instance's block list. I don't mind corporate accounts being on Lemmy, I do mind them posting straight up ads.
This whole thing is an exercise in futility. You're going to change the name, someone else will take it and nobody will use the new community because nobody's ever heard of it and pcmr will be there anyway.
It's funny you mention xp being so bad, I've always remembered it as the one people loved. But I was using MacOs 9 in the school computer lab while xp was getting reamed for its ui and early security issues so.
Dems aren't going to fix it and reps want to destroy it and aren't going to vote for someone who isn't a rep so let's just kill the democratic party in the name of "something new" - oh look we're a full on fascist nation now because dipshits like you convinced stupid people that going full fasc is better than small incremental progress.
Like I get it, Dems suck they really do. But if you think destroying that party before republicans is going to result in improvment? Well let me make sure I stay far away from whatever you're smoking cause it's got you fucked up. Now go on, call me a centrist for being practical and not wanting to throw the country away, I you know you want to.
Isn't that exactly what said executives wanted? Wasn't fox news created to prevent a second Nixon not by making sure no crimes were committed by future republican presidents, but by making sure they could mislead the public into thinking they weren't crimes in the first place? I'm sorry but now that it's clear to the entire world what you built and why you built it you don't get to sit here and go "oh my how could we ever have known it would turn into this!" Like bitch you wanted this.
I'll be honest with you, aside from the fact I can't get a static IP or forward ports I've naver really had any issues with it. I use discord for voice chat and don't play on consoles though.
Well hosting a web server is against my isp's terms of service so I'm playing dangerous either way lol. But I only use it for my nextcloud, I plan on either switching to FiOS or upgrading to business internet with my current provider so I can get rid of the cgnat.
Let's be honest, they all kinda suck and are all missing features compared to something like Relay, RIF, or Apollo. It's just to be expected with something new, find them the time reddit apps had to develop and they're probably all going to be great.
Some states do have at least something, Virginia and California that I know of. We aren't Europeans though to gdpr doesn't apply to us, we just get tangential benefits from companies who don't want to have two ways of doing things depending upon if you're in Europe or not. If all those websites that added opt in cookie boxes to their websites and whatnot wanted to strip all that out and serve special pages to Europeans they could.
I mean if you want news and suggestions I don't think metal memes was the right sub in the first place. I haven't looked in a couple weeks but Lemmy's got some metal communities. Idk how active they are because I listen to power metal and there wansnt a power metal community when I looked. So I guess look for a general metal community (there's one on Lemmy.world) and from there communities more specific to your genre tastes. There's also a metal memes community on Lemmy.world if you want the memes.
I use bing mostly.
