It helps to put in some extra shifts at the posting mines

I didn't want a mod tag next to all of my posts, and Lemmy doesn't let you disable it.

Yeah this isn't my main account

Hey, haven't used this account in a while, figured I got demodded, but if there's a need I can fire it back up. I think the instance admins have things under control in general.

What do you mean by this?

It's not that you're an idiot, but it's wise to avoid using a chromium/blink based browser since they are building a dangerous monopoly. Firefox is the best known alternative, but there are a couple other options.

Yeah that tracks, do Google next haha

If I'm making a mistake, I don't think that would be it. I've been observing Bitcoin and its community since 2011.

Right, many Europeans have basic consumer protections lol

Key difference is that Bitcoin people want/need their numbers to go up,up,up as a measure of success.

Here, we are hoping to cultivate a healthy community (at either/both the instance and fediverse level). From my experience on various subreddits, focusing on growth is not a good way to do this.

Communities are defined more by who is not allowed in than by who is in the community. Lemmy phase 2 kicked off back in June, and it still needs some time to find its footing at a sustainable rate of growth.

Be careful about "unsubscribing" to various services.

They will unsubscribe you, but then they also have all of your information (name, address, anything else) on record and confirmed. They can profit when the sell that data to another mailer "service". It's like a Hydra.
