I don't have any idea of who they are, but I don't get it: we're not preemptively defederating from Meta because it would be closed minded to do so (as per your admin decision), while Meta bad behavior is well documented (they've been fined by EU several times already), and we want to preemptively defederate from these people without even knowing how they will actually behave? Why? Shouldn't they be "innocent until proven guilty"?

Sorry for those

It's not your fault :) We know you admins are working really hard to keep the server as stable as possible.

Microsoft Teams is the official communication tool for business where I work, no need to use whatsapp tho a few colleagues use it for fluff, as for personal/family, some of my family use whatsapp but I don't (I use Discord), if we want to talk to each other we use "good old-fashioned" phone calls :D

Thank you for the amazing job, as always! Cloudflare is a solid solution :)

Haha this is amazing :D

 

I know it's fluff but I will love this on my warlock :D

I wonder where is the actual line of what is allowed and what is not on this instance

I'd like to know this too, because banning a community just because they don't want to talk about something - and that apparently offended someone, while allowing other communities free rein over content that could offend someone, makes me confused about how the rules are actually applied.

The community that has been banned wasn't discriminating people either, they were discriminating specific discussions. Where do we draw the line?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I too believe it could have been resolved with discussion, I'm confused by such a sudden reaction, I just hope there may be things we don't know about it, otherwise it doesn't make sense to me.

I mean, we intend to allow Meta shit here because it's not "open minded" to block them preemptively, then we're being close minded about this.

I agree with you and it's sad to see you're being downvoted for stating something that should be obvious.

I don't like religions in general because I find them incoherent on many aspects, but that's not a good reason to attack them, they're not breaking rules, just ignore them.

I never used Facebook not Twitter or Instagram, but I was very active on Reddit.

The key to a successful migration, in my opinion, is being involved enough in alternatives that you stop caring about your old mainstream accounts, that doesn't happen in a day but it's an ongoing process.

What I'm doing (in practice), I created my account here when the protest started, I took the time off reddit to search for alternatives to the subs I was in and actively participate in them, after a while I stopped caring about reddit, so much that I unsubbed from everything and I don't even follow its news anymore.

I didn't ditch reddit completely yet because there are a couple of niche subs that are not easily replaceable, so I still check those every now and then, but compared to how active I was before, I'm basically not contributing anything anymore.

It's just a matter of time IMO before those niche subs will grow on the fediverse, I don't know how long it'll take but when it happens I'll be done with reddit forever.

 

Lots of WoW players don't know what support is apparently.

 

I love this, hope they do it for all classic dungeons they revamped.

 

I used Imgur a lot to post pictures to reddit and since I replaced reddit with lemmy already I thought it would be nice to replace Imgur as well.

Features of Imgur that I need:

  • uploading images (usually small so having size limits is not a problem)
  • being able to combine different images into albums
  • being able to get links to images without them being pushed for public view on the entire platform, that is only people with the full link see them (this is very useful when writing guides containing screenshots, those screenshots have no place in being published outside of the guide using them).

EDIT: I tried Pixelfed, it's basically a blogging platform with pictures.

You can upload photos, you can create albums tho this feature is quite limited (understandable from a blogging point of view most probably), it seems you can get links without making your pictures public (tho I'm not completely sure about this, it's not very clear) but it makes it quite difficult to manage them, especially when you have a good amount on your profile, because they are treated as blog posts instead of just pictures.

I guess it could be used to share pictures to Lemmy, but it's not quite what I'm looking for unfortunately.

 

Reddit is forcing mods to reopen subs, as you might know already.

The 2 biggest subs reacted by "invading" r/all with pictures of John Oliver, here's an article about it: Two of the biggest Reddit communities reopened in the funniest way possible.

It would be really fun if r/wow followed suit with Daddy Denathrius (it's an option on the poll).

The most hilarious cat on the web IMO.
