  • [ Community Update ] - Regarding David's Departure 2023-06-22
  • Tempiz Tempiz 1y ago 100%

    Could we get an introduction into who the new team lead is, what their experience is, and maybe some info on the rest of the team? The current repo owner has no information and has only ever worked on Mlem with this user account. Not exactly confidence inspiring from afar.

  • [Vote] guess I gotta make a post for this over here. Do we defederate with exploding-heads.com
  • Tempiz Tempiz 1y ago 60%

    Nay

    Block them yourself. Defederation is against the principles of the fediverde. If you are looking for an instance that is more isolated, look into Beehaw.org.

  • Announcement: Embracing a New Chapter: Towards a Community-Guided Direction and Accepting Donations
  • Tempiz Tempiz 1y ago 100%

    +1 here. If growth slows and donations drop, the instance needs some savings to continue operating, or if another server upgrade is needed with a large capital expense. Not everything is OpEx.

    And then they wonder why advertises are avoiding the platform.

  • Here’s the note Reddit sent to moderators threatening them if they don’t reopen
  • Tempiz Tempiz 1y ago 100%

    “Guys this is a democracy I promise. Just do your jobs and don’t complain, speak out, or vote against anything we say. You guys totally still are stakeholders in this platform though. Please volunteer more of your time so we can monetize your free content. Thanks!” - Reddit Admins

  • Main mod of r/piracy demoded by reddit and forcing the sub to open up again

    Reddit mods crave the “power” they get from donating their time and labor to a mega corp.

    I love the irony of him calling Reddit a democracy while also refusing to budge on the API issue. You can’t have it both ways.

  • Beehive: an update to defederating from sh.itjust.works
  • Tempiz Tempiz 1y ago 100%

    Great to hear that there is a dialog open between the admins. Hopefully it is all sorted swiftly. Federating with all of the large instances is important for the continued growth of the platform.

    I’m also on gmail. Haven’t had any issues with it, no real desire to change.

  • Google Domains shutting down, assets sold and being migrated to Squarespace

    Cloudflare is still the best domain registrar that I’ve worked with. Doesn’t seem to be going anywhere.

  • Now that federation is starting to work, the experience is a bit funny. Already had experiences with lemmy and beehaw threads just being purged lol
  • Tempiz Tempiz 1y ago 100%

    For sure. It would be interesting if a method to migrate instances was built into the backend of lemmy, but this could potentially cause a lot of headache for instance owners as well. Probably not in the cards, but would solve this problem for sure.

  • Is this even allowed?

    Yep that’s an uninstall and 1 star review for sure.

    Beehaw definitely had its own standard they try to uphold. Just means choosing your instance is important to your experience.

    With this new community, I figured it would be interesting to get a gauge on if there are any security professionals within the community, and what roles everyone holds? I personally specialize in GRC, but have also worked in network engineering in the past.
