This. Reddit left will be talking shit about how violent right wingers are then in the next thread be calling for violence against them. I am pretty left on most issues before anyone jumps in to call me a fascist lol

True but you should still be able to delete your account and your comments and username leave the service. Online privacy isn't about completely disappearing, but making yourself so hard to track the average person won't bother digging.

Yeah I think that's where things are going. I myself use kbin.social far more than I use my lemmy.ml or lemmy.world accounts.

Anyone else tired of every other fediverse post being about how bad Reddit is ?

I have a smart home and let me give you some advice. BE MINDFUL OF THE BRANDS YOU CHOOSE. For example, using tuya smart devices with home assistant is a pain, you have to setup a tuya cloud account and get an API key that you'll have to renew every few months. If the device gets reset you have to go back into the cloud environment and re-add them. It's such a pain. Almost anything works with home assistant, but the amount of diy and bullshit you have to deal with to get something working varies greatly between brands. I highly recommend sonoff, also get a zigabee controller for home assistant as its far better than using WiFi. I also recommend you start a notion document or some other form of document that can keep up with everything for you. What brand of switches are in what room, what brand of lights are where, etc. Not just for you but if you ever sell your home you can give it to the next guy. Because you're probably not going to take the light switches or any in line relays with you.

Also to not connect to the internet you need to have a separate network (router or access point) that all your smart devices connect to. You'll then use a VPN to connect to your home network remotely. Basically have your smart devices router hooked into your normal router and on your normal router block external traffic (the Internet) from going to the smart devices router. Sorry if that's hard to follow but just Google "how to segment a home network" and that should get you started. Feel free to hmu if you need some guidance.

I love federation but I just don't see it reaching the masses. People want connectivity and simplicity. I am willing to accept a centralized solution if it's a non profit who takes care of moderators. Centralization isn't always terrible, look at Wikipedia.

Let's beat Reddit

I'm gonna assume scraping

As someone who has worked in the heat before this is beyond cruel.

Is it going to be horrible ? No. Just from the gameplay I've seen I can tell you I'm going to have a good time. Will it live up to my personal expectations? Absolutely not. But neither did cyberpunk and anytime someone asks me for a good cyberpunk game I don't hesitate to tell the cp2077 is in a league of it's own, despite all the shortcomings.

Base64 encoded Megalinks. The real OGs know what I'm talking about lol

According to users on #lemmy #reddit is now restoring users deleted and edited comments. We expected this but what I didn't expect was to find an FAQ from Reddit stating that they cannot ever restore deleted comments.

Reddit FAQ: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043483451-If-I-delete-a-post-or-comment-can-it-be-restored-

#kbin #redditblackout #redditMigration #redditapi #internet

If they do that I'll write a script that simulates button clicks to delete them all.
