The show?

“Yes!” 💯

Getting through the day be like:

No explanation necessary:

Hrm… so then for you, “poorly” is “right”!? 😜

Isn’t ActivityPub extremely network intensive though? If all you wanted was a single user subscribing to a handful of communities then Lemmy would be inexpensive but to pull from a lot of communities I thought people have said that it can cost a bit of money, time, etc. Also defending against attacks such as CSAM.

Maybe make a distinction then between running a “tiny personal instance with only a few niche community subscriptions” vs. a small instance, either with multiple users or even just one person subscribing to many communities, if that cost would start to become more prohibitive?

Yes you can see the comments removed here and the goodbye message here: https://lemmy.world/u/stamets . I don’t know how to see the specific post under discussion - possibly it’s gone forever.😔

This is simply how most (really, probably all) Fediverse software handles removed items. Lemmy and PieFed for certain, and I am not sure about Mbin. Ideally the page would say something like “this used to be a post but it’s gone now…”, but instead it gives simply an error that says 404 and to try again later - like… REALLY???😂

What’s the point of making a goodbye post only to delete it?

I wish he had deleted everything except that. Instances such as Discuss.Online and PieFed.social did not even have time to receive the post before the account is gone now.:-(

Stamets will definitely be missed 😭

Unfortunately you really can’t, not trivially I mean. Also, lemm.ee’s whole schtick is that they don’t defederate from anyone.

• There is a “instance block” in Lemmy, but horribly misnamed as all it does is mute communities but still allows users to troll you from the instance in other communities, such as this one
• Move to PieFed, which allows true blocking of all users from an instance, without needing admin approval
• Stay on Lemmy and switch to either the Sync or Connect app - I’ve not heard of any others that can do this but if someone knows of one please tell me?
• Ask your instance to defederate from them - except for Lemm.ee that’s extremely unlikely to happen
• Switch to another instance that has already done so
• Develop a web browser filter, probably using something like Ublock
• Create your own instance, and then you can deferate anyone you want

Lemmy is fairly authoritian for non-admin end-users, but we use what is provided to us (which is why I’m ecstatically happy with the more fully featured PieFed!:-).

Omg omg omg

Omg omg omg

Omg omg omg

I had no idea I wanted that this bad, until you brought it up - yaaaaas puleaSe!?

Tbf, they said that the instance doesn’t censor based on political lines, while on the other hand the communities on it can “moderate as they see fit”.

It’s a loophole.

Possibly still worth defederating, but not based solely on the comment you responded to.

I’m a little jealous - no matter what I say about them, their won’t ban me. Probably I would have to post in one of their communities to make that happen, except I can’t be arsed to bother with it:-).

Depends - what is their half-life? If it’s less than the rate of eye blinking, then we aren’t even keeping up a stable population!

What a great show!

Star Trek or Parks & Rec?

“Yes”! 👍

giggity

Gotta keep the Lemmites fed!

And now you know what’s next right? (Taylor Swift’s jet of course!)
