I didn't know Lemmy could run on arm architecture. Is your installation with docker?

It's like they say, universal free school meals leads to a lazy population and communism.

Jokes aside, I really don't understand their fear of anything that resembles socialized programs.

I really think VC is to blame for a lot of it. Although not in Twitter's case... And I assume meta is backed by a VC (although they might be).

In the end it comes down to these investors wanting a return on their investment and those in charge of the VC usually go one of two route:

• inject ads in as many places as possible
• track as much of the users data and sell it

They don't automatically block you. Beehaw seems on the lookout of troublesome users more than other instances. When they notice a lot of those users are coming from the same instance, they just defederate it until better tools become available to moderate.

I'm still federated with both instances. I'm also the only user on my instance.

Yeah I agree that enough attention has been placed on Lemmy for it to pop in Redditors heads when they start thinking of other sites to go to. It won't happen overnight but that'll also give the Lemmy devs time to apply some fixes and add new features.

This was bound to happen. On the eve of their IPO, they need to show that the site is running normally and that it shows promise to be profitable.

Now I'm not so sure whoever they pick to be more will be up for the task considering that they have gimped mod tools.

Dad wins the gene game.

Woooo!

This is the way.

For me it's available but not reliable. There's always something that forces it to shutdown. There are frequent delays and the monthly fees are really getting up there.

Meanwhile, Canada’s affordable housing supply is running thin!

FTFY

I'm curious about the mod tools. Is it possible to moderate a small to medium sized subreddit without those tools? To me, the mods are the glue behind it all. If a subreddit goes off the rails because of bot spam and toxic/hate posts, people will just go elsewhere.

So if mods stop moderating because they don't have access to their tools, this will likely happen at one point or another.

Lol yes very good point. I was just referring to the term "pledge" does not mean that someone actually donated. The Amber Heard thing came to mind right away.

That being said haven't we all "shit the bed" in one way or another ;)
