I’m personally in favor of [email protected]
- fits the theme of the instance
- is not on .ml
- is not on .world
- 3 different active mods
- no power tripping noted so far
- 2nd most active community after [email protected]
[email protected] admin has been quiet for a while, the instance seems to be running on auto-pilot, https://lemmy.one/c/meta has no communication from the admins since a long time
Programming.dev is still running Lemmy 0.19.5, and they had a quite severe issue of database corruption for 3 months. Thankfully, it’s solved since (https://programming.dev/post/20515601)
…and then there’s Vaporeon.
I was missing one, was sad about it too.
No, Vaporeon being the odd one out is accurate.
Hey guys, did you know…
…that in terms of human companionship, Flareon is objectively the most huggable Pokemon? While their maximum temperature is likely too much for most, they are capable of controlling it, so they can set themselves to the perfect temperature for you. Along with that, they have a lot of fluff, making them undeniably incredibly soft to touch. But that’s not all, they have a very respectable special defense stat of 110, which means that they are likely very calm and resistant to emotional damage. Because of this, if you have a bad day, you can vent to it while hugging it, and it won’t mind. It can make itself even more endearing with moves like Charm and Baby Doll Eyes, ensuring that you never have a prolonged bout of depression ever again.
In Japanese, Flareon is known as Booster. Let it be your emotional booster.
lemmynsfw was right there
- is not on .ml
- is not on .world
Not on the .ml Tankie instance and not on the giant centralized hub of .world, The only 2 reasons needed LMAO
I think I’ll never get why you are still using an account on .world, while you are always quite critical towards the LW centralization 😄
I’ve got plans to move, just waiting till I launch my own instance…when I get to it on my long to-do project list lmao
You should maybe consider switching to another instance “in the meantime”
Or piefed! ;)
Theres a lot of good servers both on lemmy and piefed, but the mod tools are really good on piefed.
Switching is a pain tbh
Usually takes me a few minutes to export/import the settings to a new alt, not sure how it is on Mbin
Before seeing the arguments I saw the ml community and thought “privacy advocates that also are pro state sponsored backdoors?”
Glad I’m not the only one
Hi, sorry_for_making_this_comment_so_late
if they ( @nutomic… , @dessalines… ) are really state sponsored and anti- security … then it’s very bad news because they wrote the Lemmy code !
… if so do we know something about it ? or do we have more reasons to suspect ?Wow, there’s too much to cover here.
I know the authors are tankies. It’s widely known. But:
- Lemmy is open source, code can be audited for backdoors.
- The instances can an often do apply patches server side, do even if the original source is clean, the instance can be tampered with. This also apply to ml.
- Even without backdoors, Lemmy has no encryption whatsoever. Any instance admin can see everything you do and your “private messages”. You can create your instance, federate and watch. It’s actually very possible that LLMs are training with Lemmy because of this.
- The fact that a tankie designed a social network without encryption is a very telling thing.
In the end, I don’t do PMs and I assume everything I do is never private here or in reddit, so I’ll mitigate what I can.
BTW, I didn’t say they are state sponsored, only that they are pro state sponsored backdoors, meaning backdoors for the government.
There are dozens of us Lemmy.one users! Dozens!
I used to be a lemmy.one user like you. Then I took an inactive admin to the knee
It’s kinda exclusive now that registrations are closed
Honestly the duplication and splintering of communities across instances will be a big problem if Lemmy ever gets more mainstream.
So probably not, but still.
It’s already an issue now.
I hope this meme will help at least limit it down to 2 or 3 communities. Having 7 for the same topic is too much. People want to post and comment in a place active enough, not crossposting everything to 7 communities.
I’ve been thinking that there should be a better shorthand for linking to a community on a specific instances. Something along the lines of giving each instance a shorthand up to 4 characters or something, and then do community links in the format /<shorthand>/<name>. So give sh.itjust.works sjw as a shorthand, and /sjw/privacy becomes the community name. I think that would make it easier to remember the one you mean.
The auto completion works quite well
[email protected] took me six characters to link it
Don’t think you’re going to see that in every mobile client…Sync doesn’t have it for example. I think the benefit is more in remembering than typing, too.
Clients should definitely implement this.
Remembering comes with context. Most of the people already know about hexbear by now
Can’t live with em, can’t live without them.
good progress on decentralization!
world news is still dominated the world
much work to do be done
I have switched the recommended privacy community recommendation from [email protected] to [email protected] on my communities due to your advocacy Blaze!
[email protected] was always meant to be for guides rather than just news
The mod just posted a news article
Yeah I’m going on what it was back in the day (so probably on reddit when it split from privacytools.io). It was the companion sub/community to privacyguides.org (which does post guides) but I guess whoever is moderating it now is fine with news posts too. Not a problem on its own, the only issue is basically what this memes highlights!
Gotta catch 'em all
I fail to see the problem. For privacy sublemmies especially it feels nice to have a redundant way of getting told about important stuff like this.
It would be more efficient to have 2-3 core communities rather than 7 like this.
People are not going to copy paste their relevant comments to the 7 crossposts of the same article.

I don’t see how every comment section has to be identical, although in the case of privacy/security maybe there are cases where important information is shared in the comments, idk.
Let’s take the recent issue with Firefox. People are looking for an alternative, or to better understand what the risk is
Lemmy.one
Lemmy.world
Let’s imagine that someone comes up with a detailed analysis of what is happening with the new ToC, and which alternative people could consider switching too. Do you think they’ll go through the hassle of sharing that information to all of those threads?

I can’t predict the future, I can only say that I personally have shared comments (with links) that I found insightful before, and I’d hope others would do the same if it was important enough. And sure, time on this earth is limited, but when I want to know something I trawl many comment sections to get a better picture.
Would it be easier to gather important tips if there were less sublemmies? Yes, undoubtedly, but my original point about redundancy, as the instances are all hosted different places in the world, is also a positive thing.my original point about redundancy, as the instances are all hosted different places in the world, is also a positive thing.
But that’s a different topic.
[email protected] posts and comments are currently replicated on probably 50 other instances. It’s still the single community on that topic.
