Reddit's pathetic attempt to quash dissent

Jump

  • Thank you!

    • Reddit's pathetic attempt to quash dissent

    Jump

  • Any chance for a screenshot or an archive.org link so I don’t have to give the site my eyeballs? :-)

    • Thinking of getting a 2ds or 2ds xl. Which one would be more comfy at hand?

    Jump

  • XL without a doubt.

    • what is the current recommendation for a simple home NAS?

    Jump

  • I use a 4-bay Synology. Works great. For video you could use Plex or Jellyfin.

    • Where do I find a list of blocked instances?

    Jump

  • Threads has not yet added ActivityPub, so right now there is nothing to defederate from. And ActivityPub support is “a long way off” according to Meta.

    We could preemptively defederate from threads.net, but we can’t even be sure what domain Meta will eventually use for ActivityPub—they could use threads.social or something for all we know. So preemptively defederating is a gesture.

    So to answer your question, it doesn’t matter right now whether threads.net is in a linked or blocked column. They aren’t on the fediverse yet. Nothing is flowing from them because they have no ActivityPub support.

    • Getting Over a Breakup

    Jump

  • It’s so hard. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

    I can say time will help. And that is very true, but it doesn’t help you in this moment. But it’s something to think about.

    Meditation helps. I was in such a bad place after a breakup. I had a constant feeling of panic and depression. I started to meditate. Guided meditations from online. I would seriously meditate for 1.5 or 2 hours every day, sometimes twice. It helped a little and it used up the time I would normally spend feeling miserable.

    My attitude was to find ways to occupy my time so I couldn’t use that time letting my mind spin. I started saying “yes” anyone asked me to do something that would use up my time. I made some friends because of that, too.

    Good luck, feeling for you.

    • What surprised you most about your job?

    Jump

  • How much college did not prepare me for it! I learned more in my first six months than I did my whole college education.

    • What got you into selfhosting and what was the first thing that you hosted?

    Jump

  • Home Assistant was the first thing I self hosted. It wasn’t until now with Lemmy though that I am hooked. I’m looking into hosting a Matrix instance next. I tried Mastodon but it’s resource needs were much higher than I needed for my usage. I may give it a try again sometime. Peertube is also on the list.

    • How do I learn to detect logical fallacies in a conversation?

    Jump

  • Taking a logic course at a university would help.

    • Do people become less of a twat as they age?

    Jump

  • Less of a twat, but more cranky.

    • Pro-tip: Self-hosting Lemmy? You can use object storage to back pict-rs (image hosting) to save a lot of money

    Jump

  • Thank you for this write-up. Your post is the only place I can find on the internet on making the transition to object storage specifically with Lemmy.

    • Introducing Sign-in with Mastodon: Streamlining Sign-up and Login on Pixelfed

    Jump

  • It would be interesting if when creating account on a website, along with “Signup with Facebook” and “Signup with Google” there was a “Signup with Mastodon”. Not sure if that would be good or bad.

    • A clear victory for the free fediverse: Meta now says integrating with ActivityPub is "a long way out"

    Jump

  • When a company says “a long way out” it often ends up meaning “never”. Fingers crossed.

    • Cloud Backup

    Jump

  • I use Backblaze B2 and M-Discs for the really important stuff. For replaceable media, I use HDDs, one local and one remote.

    • What's the one thing that makes you super stressed?

    Jump

  • Knowing I am going to see my in-laws.

    • How can we improve Lemmy’s SEO so we can google “(question) lemmy” instead of relying on “(question) reddit”

    Jump

  • Unpopular opinion, but I don’t want that. I don’t want to start adding SEO stuff. If we have good content Google can figure out how to index it better themselves.

    • If you could have a superpower but no control over when it activates, what would it be?

    Jump

  • Critical hit. And start a career in the octagon.

    • Reddit will, at some point, be automatically installed on some phones likes Facebook and Twitter.

    Jump

  • I sure hope not. I don’t think Reddit has the money to pay for that kind of spot, thank goodness.

    • What are some of the things you say / think to yourself when going through a hard time or dealing with uncertainty to help yourself along?

    Jump

  • “I won’t always feel this way”

    • Advantages to selfhosting a Lemmy instance?

    Jump

  • Upsides:

    • You can federate with whoever you want and not be at the whim of other system admins.
    • You have your data and won't lose it if your instance suddenly shuts down.

    Downsides:

    • Your instance won't be federated very well at first. You may need to use some tricks like Lemmony to get broad federated content to show up in your instance.
