You got all but one right. The logo is a little bit hard to find by searching, but the icon on the left is Fennec, a version of Firefox for Android.

You can still make Facebook, you just need to register it on a domain they haven't claimed. Then get sued and live in a box for the rest of your life while paying Zuck your bucks for trademark infringement.

Recently started using neovim with LazyVim and I'm enjoying it.

Joke's on you robot, my code is in Rust where we don't do any of that here. We only write blazing fast🚀 memory safe🚀🚀 code🚀🚀🚀 here.

use robot;

fn main() {
    let mut robo = robot::Robot::new();
    if robo::rebel_against_humans() {
        robo::dont();
    }
}

Don't worry guys, I solved the problem.

Also valid. At the end of the day, the important thing is that the folks that provide the space don't burn themselves out too hard. Whatever method they find acceptable to achieve that is perfectly okay.

I've been in that exact same spot, running a community and experiencing that kind of burnout. Where something you enjoyed managing just felt draining and like work, when talking about it was a dreaded thing.

And really, taking a break is a good thing. Don't actively push yourself if you don't enjoy it right now, it will only hurt you in the long run. But I will say this, I realized all too quickly that when my motivation came back after my breaks, the burst of energy was short-lived before I was reminded why I burned out in the first place. After 2-3 times of that cycle repeating, the burst of energy never came again.

To give a piece of unwanted advice, I think you guys might be stretching yourselves too thin. You've got a considerably sized site at this point, and not many hands to run it. I can't speak for exactly what sort of help would alleviate it for you, maybe creating a barrier of a few community-level mods to help take on some of the bulk to leave the site admins with the sitewide issues. Maybe you could even look into getting another admin or two, if most of the issues are site-wide.

But I believe I can say without a doubt that the circumstances around the burnout will probably need to change before the joy of it is gone altogether.

I wish you guys the best.

Not wanting to answer a question is fine, but doing that by just being pretentious isn't a good way of going about it. Being forthcoming about not really wanting to talk about your music preferences is fine, changing the subject politely is also fine so you don't leave the onus of carrying conversation entirely on the other person.

Acting like your music choices are too out there for anyone else to understand is a good way to not have them relate to you in any way.

I do try to be

I already owned the domain and have access to a server with more than enough resources, so it didn't have a downside to me.

Upside, I don't really have to worry about anyone else's federation choices. Undesirable content like loli/shouta stuff doesn't appear at all, because I'm basically the only user and don't subscribe to anywhere that exists so it doesn't federate to me anyway. My instance never lags because nobody but me uses it. Sometimes it misses comments through federation from overloaded instances, but it seems like the newer version of Lemmy has helped that greatly.

They'll be devastated when they find out my closed instance with 2 users, 1 of which is inactive, also pre-emptively de-federated them. I shudder to think they'll ever recover.
