OP: Please try and support instance admins and Lemmy devs

Sync fans in the comments: Yes, I bought Sync and love it

Bathroom or Black Lodge?

Their apps are E2EE.

Never used it as I don't like my data being mined and sold off to make Bezos richer.

Shit. Missed that, sorry.

Maybe give Seafile a try?

Open source, you can selfhost, has clients for Linux/Win/Mac and Android/iOS and best of all - encryption that actually works.

Gimmie some sugar baby.

I can see content from lemmy.one and lemmy.ml from communities I'm subscribed to.

Pure SLAPPery.

Musk will just sue, lose, appeal, lose, refile, lose and on and on until the non-profit simply run out of money.

Unfortunate.

I'll stick with the software for now but defederate.

I'm curious as I'm ignorant of this - what problematic behaviour has the Calckey dev demonstrated?

I think people are forgetting that Reddit didn't start off with communities (subs), they came later. Reddit got big the same way all sites that don't have a built in audience (e.g. Threads users basically being Insta users) - time and commitment.

Lemmy is not going to be as big as Reddit for a long, long time. Everyone has fallen into this habit of thinking all Reddit mods are power crazy egomaniacs and some are, no doubt, but the good subs on Reddit required dedicated time and effort to build up. Curating, introducing and constantly readjusting rules and expectations and at some point a good sub reaches a tipping point and it's popular.

All this will take time with Lemmy. Community mods will need to be as dedicated as Reddit mods were. And, as a side issue, this commitment to making and keeping a community great is what spez and his idiot gremlins have just thrown away. It's not about user numbers for Reddit, it's now a priority for them to get mods who are willing and able to put in the amount of work the mods they just alienated had. Subreddit engagement stats are mostly going down take a look at the number of posts and the number of comments for r/askreddit, it's a steady decline.

Lemmy might not ever get as big as Reddit but it will grow if mods stay committed and users keep posting and commenting. If that happens, that same tipping point will come.

Downvotes mean even less on a Lemmy instance than they did on Reddit. They don't affect your ability to post to a Community, or comment on a Post or start a Community and they don't affect your comments position in a thread.

It therefore doesn't matter in any way if people upvote or downvote your stuff, let it go as a concern.

Or, if simply sharing an instance with left leaning people is what really bothers you, exploding heads exists.

I have Conky on my desktop and do a curl to a known page on my server to monitor if a web service is up every 60 seconds. If it's down, I swap to a blinking animated gif as an icon and play an alert sound.

This is excellent news :) I've been using Alexandrite since u/sheodox announced it so I'm very pleased to see it added as a dedicated front end for .world :)

Yep, just go to 'Settings' under the Profile icon, top right.

" Even the ‘subreddits’ called communities"

You're making the right choice. Reddit is definitely the right place for you.

I'm not basing my opinion on your point of view. I'm basing it on the opinion that any organisation that makes claims about strong privacy but doesn't allow people to check their work is essentially saying 'just trust me bro'.

No open source clients means we just have to trust all that stuff about the apps/networks privacy. That's an odd choice for an org who claim to be dedicated to privacy, so it's a 'thanks but no thanks' from me.

I feel so stupid now. I can't believe I ever thought a good way to save on costs was to not pay executives millions of pounds in wages and bonuses every quarter. Now I realise it's better to lower wages/hours for minimum wage staff on zero hour contracts or lay them off.
