I even went to a Digg gathering once. I got a poster of the dig guys. I forgot their names now. Dirty blonde chubby guy and black hair guy with faint mustache, last name Roses or Rosales?
Maybe they delete our comments only to us but everyone still sees them? But yeah, if you re-did your comment like 10 times and another commentor redid theirs 5 times, how would they know what is the correct set? I can only think that maybe they go with the comments that survived the longest time. Or the first comment?
Actually, I think I like the old YouTube where people didn't really make money from the videos posted. That way there's more people posting and it doesn't become a sickening view of the same asshole pouring vinegar into soda or whatever that's all about. Makes me wanna puke 🤮🤢🤮.
I don't know. I was getting a ton of messages saying that I violated the terms of what ever. Like it was just raining those kind of messages. Then the next day when I woke up I was going to check out my daily news and I got presented with a message saying I was banned. Not very well explained what the heck I did. But ever since, I've been opening my horizons. I mean this place is pretty good. I haven't deployed my own server, but I figure I can actually do that.
According to the same article it can fail if the server is malfunctioning. But I would assume only rogue servers would do this intentionally...like suddenly kick all users or a particular user out and lock them out of their delete option.
Ok I'm here! Where do I put the recliners and all that shit you asked for? Just leave it outside in the sun while I work? Then take it back home, leave it outside the house and do it all over again tomorrow?
I propose that a new subreddit be created where you post something like "please ban me" and then people who visit will go and report you for sexual abusive and hate speech so you can get your account locked and banned site wide. Maybe there's already a thing like that?
I hope people know that us all having instances would always be better than anything centralized elsewhere. 1) I can delete all my posts if I want. 2) anyone can make a better app to talk to it. 3) we got so many different ways of sharing our free speech here, it's not even funny. 4) you can backup your stuff. I'm not, but you can do that if you serve your own server. 5) you can establish your own rules or land on someone else's server that you trust.
At this point you gotta be a lower form of life to conclude that going centralized is good for anyone.
I created r/keitruck and r/Seattlegay using two separate accounts obviously. Somewhere during the pandemic, I started getting a ton of unreachable content warnings. Like I couldn't tell where they were coming from or from who. So I couldn't actually delete any comment that might have offended someone. I would see one or two per hour. One day it was one every few minutes. When I woke up the next day, all of my accounts were permanently banned. I couldn't even create a new account. They banned by actual hardware address or something.
This is why you shouldn't serve an open server from home. If you serve your feddit from your house, it's ok if it's for you and your kids. But if you add more than that, I wonder if it just stops. I serve my photo server for my personal use and it makes struggling noises when I look at the images. I picked a cheap 100 HP mini desktop to try this on so I'm not surprised. So imagine if 100 people wanted a 20MB image from the server's HDD.
Since devices that compute generate heat, it is a good way to hear your home up in the PNW. Additionally, you get to host websites. Everyone wins.
Better if you mine crypto, cuz any profit is just extra. You get the same results as if you were using a wall heater but you also get something in return.
This is an incorrect assessment of the facks. I believe it to be the same people that hate reddit for banning them....and me. You know... Good people 😁. People who like and say weird shit. People who find useful ways to use reddit....and then reddit finds out it's useful and replaces you with a bot or someone else.....
Reddit's modo should be "build our communities! And get the fuck out! They're our communities!"
I am the former admin for r/keitruck and r/Seattlegay. One day I started to notice hate messages. I might have replied. Then I noticed a deluged of that until one morning I got a message saying I was banned. I spent all my fun pandemic free time building those two places. So fuck reddit.
Except for the time when the king/prime minister/party leader/god passes away and then the cultural thing to do is war or kill all x group of people or other removed things like that. Also if you live there and the government is not actually made up of people you trust or voted for. Tomorrow they may build a highway over your house and that's okay because you don't matter.
