As far as I know it was started by the original lemmy developers which made the software because they felt persecuted for their beliefs on normie social media. Lemmy just happened to be around when the reddit CEO decided to f up reddit so everyone started using it despite the creators not being well adjusted people.

Edit: just so I’m not misinforming here’s what they said themselves about the origin https://lemmy.ml/post/70319

I don’t get how extremist leftist content ends up attracting people who are against woke stuff in stardew really but over time I’ve gotten the vibe the ml and hexbear people are in general more combative and angry about things.

Make your own community on an instance that’s not full of assholes

Why not just host on v4 and v6 from home?

Because when whatever company gets a data breach I don’t want my data in the list.

With bitwarden If your server goes down then all your devices still have a local copy of your database you just can’t add new passwords until the server is back up.

I would like to see the passage where the Bible supposedly mentions neanderthals

It’s meaningless bullshit if they think the AI companies give a shit about copyright

Even moreso: When you post online you typically give the website a license to distribute the content in the terms and conditions. That’s all the license they need, it doesn’t matter what you say in the comments.

In the early 70s it was a risky and expensive one-time deal. Starship is doing it sustainably and will completely revolutionize space travel. I wouldn’t say they’re struggling they’re just still developing it.

The capabilities of starship are orders of magnitude more payload and for orders or magnitude less money at the same time.

Turns out it’s a bad idea to totally scrap a billion dollar rocket every time you use it.

If you’d like to try mbin https://fedia.io/ is a good instance. Run by Jerry from infosec.exchange.

Personally I support software diversity and Earnest seems like a nice person but Lemmy has a bigger development community and I wanted the mobile apps.

What are the m and of lines for?

None I just look at new because there’s not enough content on Lemmy to filter it

Don’t forget it may have also been replicated to other instances before you edit or delete it where those admins also have access to the database.

As far as I understand votes are published as ActivityPub messages, otherwise multiple servers could not have the same vote counts. They need to be able to deduplicate the same vote coming from two different servers.

So everyone can read your votes there’s just not an easy UI for it.

The data is already public, that’s how ActivityPub works

I’m running FreeBSD I actually like it a lot.

I picked it for zfs. A lot of the ways things work seem cleaner and simpler than on Linux and zfs is awesome with the copy on write snapshots and filesystem compression and all that. I like rc.conf and pf is way nicer than iptables and even when you upgrade it automatically makes a snapshot so you can rollback.

Sometimes I do need to patch and compile things because people seem to not know freebsd exists but that’s really the only downside.

Plex supports extras just rip them to separate files. It’s true you lose the menu though.

It’s just that the compression on the disks is not very good and you can easily compress them a lot more without really any noticeable loss of quality.

Why not just convert them and save 20gb of storage space?

It works if the wind is really strong, but everyone knows physicists can only handle frictionless vacuums
