I'm not sure the lemmyverse is really a place for me now.
The amount of hate and arrogance in redditors is really frustrating. We can't have nice things.
It's true

we should really continue to post in non rule breaking ways in lemmy instances, maybe. breaks their echo chamber. sometimes mutually beneficial exchanges of info happens
New conspiracy: Gov Chris Christie is Alice which is one of Kapow's alts.
Kapow (aka Alice(aka gov Christie)) has been planing the shut down for months and a week ago he asked the community to see if anyone would complain
Crafty. Christie is very wide indeed.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 lol I needed that lol that's fucking hilarious 😂
Yea, it's a shame. I've had fun here. Nostr is a mess in the exact way my brain despises.
Why not just turn the tables, defederate from everyone, and use this like old school forms? Federation is a flawed idea anyway. Censorship free Lemmy Instance! Much easier when you run the site.
OTOH we also can't have a BDFL. Really, the ideal way doesn't exist for us... But in any case, twitter clone is clearly the wrong answer...
We could move on to scuttlebutt, that's some cool shit.
Even the guy who made scuttlebutt moved to nostr.
This is his pub key

It was just to hard to use. And every attempt to make it easier made it work more like nostr.
But in the end nostr was inspired by scuttlebutt and torrent trackers
Interesting. It's a shame. I like the concept, but yea, I remember it working pretty poorly.
Disappointed mostly. I get that site is probably a lot of thankless work and I see how much news posts and whatnot Kapow puts effort into finding and posting even besides all the server admin and update stuff. So I get it and can't say I wouldn't make the same call in his place.
At the same time, I think Idgaf about any other lemmy instances really since I really have been spoiled here and going back to leftist censorship sites doesn't remotely interest me.
Am on nostr and will give it a chance but already there are some major issues that frustrate me with it. I don't see those getting fixed anytime soon and suspect I will probably eventually either start drifting around again or maybe spend more time offline on self improvement (diet/exercise, learning career stuff, learning survival skills, etc)
so, something to think about, a lot of instances have made backups of our stuff up to the point of defederation I think?
Ok, fair enough . But I'm not really sure where you're going with this.
Do you mean just be extra extra careful about screen names/personal info and avoid getting doxxed? That we can still always find our old posts on other instances? something else?
well the other donky user pointed out that images wont carry over I guess, but text does I think and if pics are hosted by a third party they can be retrieved from there and will show up if the third party is still ok
Ah ok, so just meant not everything disappear when server goes offline. Yeah, there are a few things I probably still want but I also use the SingleFile browser addon (ff: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/single-file/ but they make for chrome also) to save important stuff like guides or instructions
The images are not being federated. Only the posts.
got it - images will come through if hosted by a third party however (like catbox moe)
Yes
Lemmy wasn't made for decentralization, anyone who says that is a liar, it was made for tyrants to create their own sanitized space for members of their cults to get together.
Still though it's the best we have until Nostr officially has widespread support for Communities and has a Decent Reddit style frontend. At the current time it isn't really viable due to the fact it's currently a Twitter clone that doesn't facilitate this kind of discussion thread content.
Also No, Hashtags aren't communities, they are the equivalent of post or comment flairs and trying to use them as a community gives a very messy and cluttered feeling.
