Least expensive is Virtualbox or UTM.

Simplest is Parallels.

Can’t say why your other posts were downvoted because we don’t know what they are. Possibly people thought you were scare-mongering

If this happened, you’ve been doxxed.

You never provided that info to Lemmy & it’s not stored in Lemmy therefore it can’t be stolen from Lemmy.

Doesn’t mean nobody can figure out who you are based on your post history, comments or username.

Your ALL is amplifying the highest engagement posts from the largest instances, particularly lemmy.world, which is definitely US-centric due to it being the largest open registration instance during the exodus... Go ahead and switch to your instances LOCAL and see what original content is being posted on sopuli.xyz. Quite a difference. https://sopuli.xyz/?dataType=Post&listingType=Local&page=1&sort=Active

Hundreds. Here's just a few places you can use for discovery.

• https://join-lemmy.org/instances
• https://fedidb.org/software/Lemmy
• https://lemmy.world/instances
• https://lemmymap.feddit.de

How many of your subscribed communities lie outside of lemmy.world? Very possible you've pigeonholed yourself. World almost certainly has a heavy US bias as it was the largest instance with open registration during the exodus.

Lemmy is made up of a ton of instances, many of which have quite limited US-related content. Posts from smaller instances may not rise to the top of World but they do elsewhere. Whereas World posts are going to rise across most instances, due to sheer volume. Where the posts come from is not as indicative of diversity as where the comments and votes come from.

More desirable domains available and significantly lower costs are a couple of reasons that come to mind..

Martha Stewart killed me.

Lemmy is much less US-centric than Reddit.

Saying this as a lifelong Crue fan, they’ve never been a good touring band. Even in their heyday it was, at best, a good time with a crowd of like minded people who were mostly stoned or drunk out of their minds. Vince has never been a good live vocalist, he’s just had enough good days to mange to put out a couple of live albums of cherry picked performances.

$10 of bar soap lasts longer than $50 of that gel stuff.

A CDN isn’t a great comparison to DDOS mitigations. CDN spreads the load amongst multiple locations that are distinct entities. Any one can be down and the rest functions fine. They generally exist on separate domains and are not inherently codependent.

DDOS requires an inline solution. A layer acting as a man in the middle to deflect or absorb the traffic destined to Lemmy.world, for example. That’s not something that can be readily be decentralized while there’s only one ingress to Lemmy.world.

You came through in the end. That’s what really matters. Thank you.

I have much bigger things to worry about. Like this hole in my sock that I’ve only had three months. Now that’s an outrage.

No u.

This is information I could’ve used LAST WEEK!

Which has always been an asinine point of view. By the time a site has blocked the paste the password is already in the clipboard. No security has been added in that regard, only frustration.

There is no “front page of Lemmy”.

I suppose the ALL of your particular instance could be considered the front page of YOUR Lemmy but it’s not the front page of mine.

Among other things, I’d keep going to work. I enjoy my job. What I’ll really enjoy is every time someone tries to pawn off something on me that’s not actually my job I’ll tell them, “not my job”

So, apparently shit post mods will just remove posts with positive upvotes without any mod mail or explanation.

Given your topic it seems like you're pretty confident that it was a mod action.

Is cool.
