Bro I got banned from reddit earlier for reporting something very serious and disturbing and they gave the person a temporary suspension but ban me for trying to make it a safer place. That whole website is fucked. That CEO is POS.
Aaron Swartz is rolling in his grave right now for sure. Used to be an amazing place for free speech now it's filled with worse people compared to 4chan and 8kuk
I wish I knew about Lemmy sooner. I'm loving how relaxed and nice everyone seems here
I wanted to love Totk but it just doesn't feel like Zelda.. I miss the days of the wind waker. Legend of Zelda the wind waker was my all time favorite Zelda game I'm really hoping they go back to those style of games but with newer shed graphics (obviously)
I can't wait to watch reddit burn while sitting back here with some really awesome people in a much safer environment
I'm working on a new app called Freddit (fuck reddit) 😂
Yeah agreed, with enough administrators it could be kept to a minimum especially if users help with reporting comments, posts and so on. But it will still be very hard to completely keep Lemmy clean of trolls and all the nasty stuff we would rather stay away from that reddit has become.
I believe it's the users job to help keep the app safe as well. Administrators can't catch everything which is why it's really good to have a report button. I know earlier today I reported something very serious (like incriminating) on reddit and I reported it and I somehow got banned for report spamming but then the person got a temporary ban for illegal activities.. it's just so sad what that place has become
I'm a free speech activist and open sourced enthusiast. I also work in cyber security and to be banned for reporting illegal activity and then have them walk away with a temp ban is pretty disheartening tbh
I think from what I've seen being on here for a couple hours
I love it a lot more we just need to get more active people
The idea behind this site is amazing and I like what it stands for.
You guys (as devs) seem to be working very hard on this and you all seem to really care about free speech and having a friendly and active community
I will be supporting this site from now on and can't wait to create my own communities and see how it turns out in the future <3
Because back in the day when Ubuntu was at it's prime especially when I first used in on my journey Into Linux 12 years ago it was never enforced and now it's like ubuntu just wants to push snaps on people for no reason
Why Canonical thinks Snaps are a good thing:
saves time for the maintainers: build one image and it works on 4 LTS releases plus current release, isolate tool changes between OS and app.
ability to update app independently of rest of apps and OS (avoid dependency hell, keep OS stable).
sandboxing.
ability to install multiple versions of app in same system.
ability to run same image on desktop, server, and IoT systems.
provides an app-update or even kernel-update mechanism for IoT systems, which often do not have one.
if image is built by original app devs, a simpler faster connection between users and original app devs, for updates and bug-reporting.
single-store model is familiar to potential new users of Linux, who already use that model on Android iOS Firefox Chrome VS Code etc.
single-store model arguably is more secure than adding N PPA's to your software-sources list.
The snap store is also a walled garden made by canonical.
they want control over the user, to protect the inept user from themselves, to reduce frustration and possibly support workload
same concept as Apple or any other company that aims prioritizes having a WIDE target audience
Ubuntu used to be amazing but I had to move on especially since I'm a much more advanced user now
Once the companies start taking control of these distros they go to 💩.
Just look at what happened to Manjaro, in my opinion Manjaro is the most beautiful Linux distro to look at and it was very well done but then the corporate a** hats started taking over and Manjaro has some very sketchy business practices and has broken the AUR even for all Arch users who want nothing to do with Manjaro
I'm new to here and really enjoying it so far. I came here because I'm tired of what reddit has became it's a very dangerous place over there and they should be investigated.
I was curious. I've been a Linux admin for a while and I loved some of the communities on reddit. I'm really good with admin work and watching over communities and servers and wanted to know when I'd be able to create my own community?
I'd love to see a piercing community here where people can talk piercings and ask for advice.
Thank you for making this place awesome so far! I'm also working on my own application
I believe in free speech and open sourced software and I believe in internet security and privacy and always try to inform people on how to stay safe online.
Currently working on my own app similar to this called Freddit meaning ( F*** reddit) 😆
Is the Bluetooth showing up at all? I remember a work around I found was to shut the computer down completely unplug it from the power supply and then hold down your power button for 30 seconds to hard reset the computer than start the system up and you should have Bluetooth
You should give Gentoo a try. I'm a 12 year arch user. Gentoo is really solid and fun though. Or hell if you wanna go that advanced try LFS :)
Okay just wanted to make sure. Are you still having the issue?
