Also, there's seems to be no official word from the admins yet.
Edit: official word here!
On the Divolt, Zinklog said he should've made a post before they pulled the plug. But the vulnerability seemed scary. Which I can't blame em for. No other official word to my knowledge though
Oh yes I actually agree with that decision. Better safe than sorry.
But I was worried about the information blackout. I feared the admins got hacked and locked out of the server.
I'm not familiar with Divolt. Can you browse without being registered? If not, maybe we need a more public backup channel? Dunno, maybe on Mastodon or on another Lemmy instance?
Today I even checked the fmhy sub on Reddit but there was nothing there.
Mastodon place for announcement would probably be ideal than another lemmy instance in case a vulnerability that affects them all causes issues.
Agreed, I'd also like Mastodon ๐
I'm going to need look up the different contacts available to keep in the loop on instances I like in case something happens again. Don't want to have to go back to reddit to try and find news on their status haha
Good idea, yeah. I'm a bit worried about the instance-goes-boom scenario, but I understand this basically comes with the package in the fediverse.
About Reddit, well lol the more I'm on Lemmy the less I'm inclined to go back. spez really did the magic with his BS, eh? ๐
Yeah, my most treasured subs started their own instances here with fmhy and piracy, so I've been fine without reddit. Just need to secure those alternate communication channels and I'll be able to not go back to Spez.
Awesome. My dream is that more and more people manage to do the same, so spez (and all the other big tech CEOs) learn their lesson the hard way.
Sorry. Was finishing my shift at work
I don't believe so. Divolt is a self hosted instance of Revolt that FMHY uses. And revolt is basically a Open source discord alternative. I started my account there to see if there was any news about it.Though yeah, Mastodon or something might not be a bad idea, but obviously it's up to the admins on their plans
No worries! Hope it was a good day at work.
I see, thanks for the explanation. Ideally I'd like Mastodon, so there'd be no mandatory new account. But yeah it's up to the admins. If they already have Divolt, I'm not sure they'd be willing to manage another platform. We'll see ๐
Other than the management being a pain. Pretty good haha.
And yeah that's fair. I dont disagree with that. And I'm sure if the demand or the need for a wider net arises. I'm sure it'll be taken care of
Dang, management doing their thing as usual lol.
Cheers to that! With the instance growing, I'm hopeful your prediction proves correct ๐ฅ
Right? Like imagine getting talked down to because a customer called asking if they left something at the shop. We have a phone for a reason lmao.
And yeah. I think the staff are doing a great job. Just some growing pains. Especially after the reddit thing and the platform growing
It looks like someone in management had a pretty bad day lol. No need to unleash their frustration on you, though. I hope you managed to be super zen about it. You need a lot of patience when dealing with this kind of people. A lot of bosses are like that, unfortunately.
Agree, the staff seems really good. There's also a post about the down now. Reddit is really going down the drain imho. spez is destroying it. I myself moved here because of him. The API changes, the killing of 3rd party apps and the ad hoc rules to stifle the protest were the last straw for me.
He's notoriously bad. So I'm used to it haha. Just like. Why? Lol
And yeah. Reddit has been... Not doing great. I've already been preferring open source as is. But that really changed things
