I am thankful for myself! I am my own moderator and my own admin. This way I almost don't have to deal with other people. /s
I only have to deal with them in conversations like a coupple of days ago someone congratulated me to have written the new stupidest comment on Lemmy.
Anyway, Lemmy is where I spent most of my little time on the internet, I'm very suprised how well everything works despite it being alternative media without VC funding.
To be fair, I downloaded Das Kapital once and started reading it, but after just one or two pages in this old German language it was just too difficult to follow so I gave up.
The UN says at least 413 Palestinians - members of armed groups, attackers and civilians - have been killed in conflict-related incidents in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, or in Israel since October.
Fifteen Israelis, including four security forces personnel, have also been killed.
It helped massively. Before I was a web frontend Dev and despite me trying to get more waried work they didn't want me to learn new stuff because I was very good at what I did. So no possibility for my for any better job.
After I got into the automobile industry worked as a programmer, integrator and had so many opportunities for different career paths. I went on business trips to the US and Korea, found love here and moved. Now I'm partially in management and make so much more money which would all not be possible without going to university (in Sweden).
There is also the problem that I can't upload any photos which I took with my phone to lemmy because they're just too big. It would be nice if it would offer to resize it to smaller to be able to upload it, otherwise I have to somehow do that manually on the phone which is not very stright forward.
For me it's definitely attractive that it's written in plain python without much JavaScript stuff, etc. it also seems to load much faster than even my tiny Lemmy instance.
Very interesting post, very long but also interesting. I also agree with most of the points.
But I wonder why there is no mention of /kbin which has been a compatible alternative to Lemmy even during the Reddit exodus. It's also written in PHP which many people should have a much easier time to contribute to than Lemmy's Rust.
Mine has always been slow. I started on a raspberry pi but later on a NUC and even on my VPS at Hetzner, it was always like you describe. Because I only used it for calendar, adressbook and sharing a few files I replaced it with Radicale for CalDav and CardDav and Syncthing for sharing files.
The blog post is cool, but why on earth does a video editor have no video introducing a new version of itself?
