I mean, maybe it's because I'm not overly paranoid or live in the US, but this doesn't seem like a big deal at all.
As for the "drama" of them telling someone they can unfollow, it's true. It's again, not a big deal.
This screams people trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
My favorite part is when it finally becomes somewhat less overloaded, and my instance gets flooded with a bunch of posts from there filling the entirety of my front page, and the second page...
Sorry I'm just frustrated as a lot of communities have become nothing but the latest reddit drama. I'm just hoping that doesn't happen with this one too.
This is great and all, but what does it have to do with /c/piracy ?
There are many other communities about whatever the latest reddit drama is, please don't let this sub become like some others that are flooded with nothing but reddit drama
I host my own matrix instance for my wife, a few friends and I. It has worked great for us. They can either use a web app, or an app on their phone.
It's been very flakey for me, I won't get anything new then all the sudden I get a huge influx of posts from the past few weeks. This has been across multiple communities.
I tried upgrading my instance to .18 but boy was that a buggy mess. It seems to just be an issue with federation overall.
This fork is more current: https://github.com/nodrm/DeDRM_tools
The original is no longer maintained and this is the recommended for in that repo.
Hey Mods, when are you going to rename this community to /c/TheLatestRedditNews as that's all that seems to get posted here?
I mean it's not like there aren't literally DOZENS of communities dedicated to whatever the latest crap reddit is up to so it needs to keep clogging up this community.
it sent out about 700,000 kill messages to inform other instances that it had federated with that it was going offline for good, and to delete all record of it from their databases. Around 25% of these were returned undelivered because the instances had simply dropped offline.
It's amusing that the person complaining about these instances "failing" linked to a site that itself has "failed" and is now "for sale".
There are always "the sky is falling" posts by people that feel everything they are no longer in love or becomes slightly difficult with is "failing". I don't understand why these people always think others are going to care about their opinions on the subject at all. It makes me wonder if these people yell "I'M LEAVING" every time they exit a room.
I'll believe it when I see it. It seems like things like this come up all the time and never actually go anywhere.
A friend of mine uses it to re-type emails to sound more professional. He even got a couple of others to start doing it at his workplace. A few people have started to notice one particular employee has suddenly completely changed how he talks in emails. It's very amusing, but it works extremely well for my friend.
He even pays the $20usd/m for the "premium" or whatever version. He's a C-Suite at the company so it's nothing to him to pay for the service. Other than instances like that, or simple coding (hey I need a quick bs landing page, or I need this added to whatever) it's pretty overblown for how people seem to think it works.
It's not even a question (outside of clickbait bs by news agencies)
