Take this in the friendly way it’s offered: provide more information, the brief summary at that link is way too sparse for me to start slinging my own hard-earned money at. You’ve got a friendly audience here (I guess, on the whole), but nobody gives handouts unquestioningly. Publicising is great, but only if you provide proof and details. Good luck!

The narratives you mention in your last para are completely true, that’s what annoys me, IF they had engaged in good faith with users. As it is, it’s like a shopping centre that’s been free to enter saying “right, it’s now €100 to enter and any underwear shops are closed to you unless you wear our uniform.”

Just completely crazy prices for a poor service. No shit that’s unworkable. Just be honest and say you want to bring those users in-house, just fucking say that rather than trying to gaslight everyone into believing that all these competent developers are all unreasonable arseholes who are screwing you, a multi-billion-dollar corporation over.

How is this world news?! I don’t give a fuck what’s going on in some city in the USA

You’ve got a point, there’s some danger here, but I would have zero sympathy if someone ignored the fact that sarcasm isn’t communicated well in text.

I don’t know, I think a thumbs up is clear acceptance tbh.

Cool, always good to see new options, I hadn’t come across this one before.

Cheers, that’s reassuring

Thank you

That’s helpful, he wouldn’t have admin access, mostly because I know enough to know that what I don’t know is dangerous.

Thanks to you both, I think I read at some point that nextcloud might be a bit overpowered and resource heavy (for me). I’ll look into syncthing.

Excellent explanation, thanks.

Could you DM me the Homepage link? I’m not finding it among generic results. Yes, I’m a wee bit dim.

Don’t sweat it. You’d have to create a profile on each instance and then create all of the subs on each. And some have decent bot protection, so that is tougher. Then if they’re not active and you want one, start/find it on your home instance and petition your home instance’s admins for mod control. They’ll probably see whats going on and cut that power(-crazy) user off.

It’s not like Reddit where there’s only one version of a community. It’s a double-edged sword, this feature, but in your case it’s a clear benefit.

This must play a huge role. Given how Lemmy works, illegal content is actively being hosted on your server, that’s a huge risk, surely. I wouldn’t touch hosting porn on any server I owned or administered with a ten foot pole.

I’m on the app connect and the comment looks like this:

I pretty much only go on removed Tuesdays now. One of my local theaters also waves the “convenience” fee if you join their free rewards program. Helps me save a lot that way.

Perhaps some filtering on my app or home instance? Strange. Maybe just a glitch

What’s the deal with one word of your comment being replaced with ‘removed’ in italics?

I have to say I’ve never seen people let their water sit or boil it, and I’ve been all over the place since 2010 in Spain. I know for hard (not heavy :)) water you can install (expensive) systems between the incoming water and your taps that can soften it, but I don’t know how common they are. I would drink the tap water from any town in Spain without a second thought. Wouldn’t you? A finca in the countryside, I might be sceptical, or a service station in the middle of nowhere, maybe not, but any “built-up” area, for sure.

https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/post/280651 I don’t know how to see the community on the gerboa app, so hopefully this link can work!

I believe there is a community called trash panda(s?) somewhere, I’ll try and find it and post it later, I bet you’d like it over there too :)

Oh wow, you’re right. I’m not used to that being possible here!

What attack? (Sincere question)
