4th gen I7 was like what? 9 years ago... How dare they!

I like ipas. Citra is my hop. I'm sorry my preferences of drink is annoying to you.

Just a random data point. This is my first time logging back into my beehaw account in a long time. Beehaw was my original lemmy instance and I really enjoyed the foundational ideals and communities the founders envisioned. I logged back in today because even on my main account on another instance, I'm so tired of all the terrible bigotry that I see in my all feed.

I personally really like the Lemmy interface as a user especially in an app, mobile browsing or desktop with certain browser add-ons. I know as a someone with their own instance (not my main account ref earlier) that the mod,sysadmin and dev work to keep it running is a lot. I too have database issues that I am super frustrated by. The mod tools are pretty much non existent.

With that said, I think that the whitelist may a viable option. The content needing moderated is likely mostly from federated instances. If beehaw were to isolate it's community or whitelist to a few trusted instances one would imagine the mod work would be lesser even with the minimal tools available. Purge the old content and continue forward as a community isolated but together in their goal to create a kind and friendly community.

Just my thoughts. I appreciate you beehaw admins.

They are out there... I was doing some exploring of instances the other day. If you look at what instances are blocking it's pretty easy to see what is out in the fediverse.

I'm a android reddit is fun user for at least ten years and old.reddit.. I am surprised how much I like the Lemmy mobile interface just in browser. Desktop is ok but I have some complaints (centered, not utilizing the width, too much padding on elements). Tried the beehaw themes available, none that worked entirely. The default is totally usable, I'm just being picky. I tried playing around with custom styling but with the modularity of the css it wasn't easy to do just poking around for 15 minutes.

Getting a compost bin this weekend... looking forward to getting started. Thanks for discussion.

A drink for such a happy occasion is in order this evening.

A DMCA method, Privacy Policy and even a TOS is what is needed to make me feel more comfortable here. Right now, you have no idea what the plan is for your data (and its rentention), data collection, etc. I might dig into the lemmy code and see if I can sus it out myself if I have time.

Right? It does feel nice at the moment at least.

To me, day 1 here, it feels like a niche subreddit about something you enjoy but that's the whole platform. The federation and the ability to have multiple of the same communities moderated differently is intriguing idea to me. I think reddit's troubles began ultimately with it's popularity. More content, less quality, more of an inclination of reddit for monetization. This is going to be an interesting month that will test the capabilities of this idea we are participating in. I feel like it is entirely possible but I hope that not too much strain is placed on each instance operator and their mod team. I want to be somewhere to anonymously socialize without being the commodity. I do have some concerns about Lemmy, primarily, it's lack of a privacy policy and a tos. Really my concern is, if I delete my account for example does it and my content also get deleted? What's the data retention policy? We are seeing this federation could easily be made into a archive like what pushshift for reddit l became which was a major frightening idea that everything you ever posted or commented was archived without your consent or knowledge. This truly is the wild west right now. It's exciting and I'm glad to be here. Just want some understanding of what we are signing up for. Lemmy's dev did say there is no logging of your IP address anywhere except web server logs which is to be expected.

Reading this whole comment thread felt therapeutic somehow. You all get it.

I sense something, a presence I have not felt since...
