This too. Just heavy handed and lazy power mods. No real appeal process either.

No, what made Reddit bad was incivility, bots, trite comments, and theme accounts (and my axe!). It was massively popular, which exacerbated this stuff, and it incentivized upvotes.

Lemmy has upvotes but people seem less interested in them.

Here, we have the ability to mute toxic groups (defederate). We are decentralized, so it’s not just one dickhead in charge. Our users are, for the most part, civil and somewhat intelligent and funny.

I was with Reddit from 2012-2015ish and then lurking on and off until the API shit storm, and we are nothing like Reddit in my opinion - not that that was the intent of the original post but still

Man, these T-1 Terminators are sweet! They have Vulcan gatling guns on them! Just think of all the flowers you can put in the barrels!

No way, punish it’s circuits with depraved ramblings like I do. You want to learn about humans? Here you go, I’m going to ask you to dwell deeply on the aromatic notes of my dick cheese, and come up with reasons why it smells more like herring rather than mackerel.

Remember, you’re not locked in with AI - AI is locked in with you.

Yeah, but what about hunter Biden’s laptops? /S

You have no idea how much I wish I could fit this in my profile picture

I’m so glad you liked my elaborate stoy :D

Instead, they hail from the extreme left. Some are outright socialists who want to burn the system down altogether rather than work within its contours. They are promising the fiercest opposition to Trump that this country has ever seen.

Wild line to include in your story, when the goal of journalism is to be impartial. Don’t threaten us with a good time.

Yeah fair enough. I agree, annoying on your end about the expense.

Bummed that you can’t seem to catch a break with the sever suffering from separation anxiety and throwing a fit every time you leave for work.

You really just need a comically long stick to flick the power switch from the mainland. Simple as.

Or perhaps pay that Satyr, I mention in another comment.

In seriousness, is physically moving the server possible? I know absolutely nothing about servers at all. Or would we be able to host it virtually? I realize that probably defeats the idea of a self hosted instance. What about as a back up or something? I’m completely just throwing spaghetti at a wall here, and it isn’t even half cooked.

I really like that idea, yet here I am circumventing it.

That’s why I have this account. I only have to break it out once or twice a year, honestly. For the most part out server is pretty stable, but then every now and then, a rare Azorian moss creeps in though the window hosting the server, and begins to colonize. This results in much delicate work, as @[email protected] and @[email protected] carefully scrape the moss off the motherboards, using hori-hori knives imported directly from Japan. They then coax the moss onto several 9x13 Pyrex dishes loaded with a home made agar and begin the trek up Mount Pico, to relocate the moss to its natural habitat. This is only done under light or a full moon and with much chanting. If done right, a Satyr emerges from the bushes (erect phallus and all), playing melodic flute music, and thanks them for restoring the nomadic moss back to the wild. After a few moments of awkward silence for both the admins walk back down the slope, wondering what actually just fucking happened, and how this became part of the routine maintenance of the server.

I really need to cool it on the shitposting…

Me? I’m the punk…I think? Definitely a lot of solar chops, but I think a lot differently than my illustrious server members.

@[email protected] give the server a smack with the old convincer, will ya?
