Leftists use the term liberal to refer to people who are moderates, e.g. the Democrats rather than the communists. Liberals often hold some progressive ideals, but ultimately believe it should happen within the context of capitalism and our existing systems.
Hexbear hates on liberals a lot, but they're hating on them because they're not progressive enough. It's not a right wing thing.
Not quite what I mean. I don't think Hexbear is comparable to the Donald at all. They may be rude, but they're a hell of a lot less hateful. I was just saying that they already are what they are, whatever you consider that to be.
I just thought it was weird that you were saying "they're trying to make a leftist version of the Donald" and "we have to call them out before it takes hold" like they're not already here and in force. The problems we're having right now descend from the just how established they are as a community, and the Federation isn't as established yet, so there's a lot of friction and no one quite knows how to handle the other.
There's no conspiracy here, it's just culture shock.
They're not "trying to make" anything, Hexbear is one of the oldest and most established Lemmy servers out there. They've been around longer than either of our instances.
What do you mean by disingenuous? I feel like they've been very upfront with their political views, to the point of causing problems with how upfront they are.
TGCJ is fine, but TGCJ culture stays in TGCJ spaces because outside of TGCJ, it's just transphobia. I get that that place is great for people, and I respect its right to exist and have no problem with the people in it, but I don't want to be confronted with TGCJ memes every time I log into my safe space.
That's kinda how I feel about Hexbear's behavior so far. My understanding is that Hexbear has a very supportive culture, and that their "dunking" happens in the context of being supportive of their own? But that's not what we see out here. Out here it just seems like they're toxic and hostile, and even as someone who ostensibly should feel left unity with them I just feel alienated.
Maybe it's my fault for not being familiar enough with their meme culture. But at the same time, they should be making more of an effort to be aware of what space they're in and the fact that they're in community now, and not everywhere has the same norms.
That said, I still am glad we're not defederating. The admin team over there seems to be making headway, and I think we should let them try to improve before we cut them off preemptively. My hope is that the culture shock will pass with time.
I think mandatory pronoun marking is a bad thing in IRL spaces, but in online spaces it's probably less of a big deal, especially when neopronouns or even None is an acceptable answer.
Hexbear is... a lot. It really does feel like they swarmed the last thread. I wish there were a way to lock threads to the local instance.
They seem to really take glee in harassment of "liberals". Their justification of "if we are harassing you you deserve it" doesn't hold a lot of water for me, because they seem to harass anyone who doesn't think the exact same way as them. I certainly get the hostility towards liberals, but while that's all well and good in their little quarantine zone over there now that they're in the larger Threadiverse their whole "dunking on libs" thing just makes lemmy an exhausting place to be.
And then they turn around and mock everyone for being bothered by their hostility. I want to like Hexbear, but I'm not sure whether they're good federationmates.
I hope we don't have to defed, but if Ada decides to it'll certainly be earned.
People like to cheat on community servers so they can own those kids at bed wars or whatever. It's not the same to mod your own server, because then you're not exerting "power" over other people.
I don't think I'd describe hexbear as polite, they seem to get pretty rowdy, even antagonistic at times. Otherwise I agree though. It would be a shame to cut off one of the largest queer friendly instances out there.
A hypervisor is a great option because it lets you test a bunch of different software solutions to see what works for you, and it's a great way to learn. Proxmox VE is just a great software too.
But it's probably because the admins of lemmy.ml are Marxist-Leninists who also run Lemmygrad, an ML instance. They mostly keep their ML stuff to Lemmygrad, but there's been some controversy about banning people with anti-China views from lemmy.ml
Could be some other reason but that's the main reason people avoid lemmy.ml that I know of.
I'd recommend Wireguard over OpenVPN, it's much faster and just generally more efficient. Notably, it also handles network changes better, and reconnects in seconds rather than minutes. It seems like it would be a much better fit for your use case.
Given that it's not enabled makes me think that they've got some sort of weird setup like network drives or separate mounts (Docker?) or gasp they're running the *arrs on Windows.
Well, that or they just didn't notice that hardlinks were already working.
Sonarr/Radarr can be set up to use hardlinks instead of copying files. That way the file will appear in both places but it will only take up the storage space a single time. I believe it's one of the advanced options under media management.
Unfortunately LLaMA 2 is not FOSS. Meta claims it's open source, but it's while the source is available it's definitely not free as in freedom. There are strings attached.

What makes you think they're pretending to be communists?
