  • Ideally when an instance goes down, all its posts and comments and users are replicated in the network and possible to get.

    Federation allows this, no? Provided your instance is old enough to have federated with the content in the first place.

  • Yeah, I thought about it more after commenting. I can't know for certain what I would do given a bad timeline. Maybe I'd just go offline, spread fliers, something.

  • I think it doesn't need to rapidly grow. The trickle of new users we get each time the main players fuck up is good enough for me.

  • if posting on lemmy makes you an enemy of the state and the state is becoming increasingly harsh with its punishments... would you still be going on and posting regularly? i would certainly think twice.

    Where else would we go? Perhaps it's my non-American privilege but I think in a time like that I couldn't be silent.

  • Welcome! Any questions so far?

  • Changing domains is essentially like starting a whole new instance. It can be done but communities and accounts start from scratch.

  • Well, we need to remember that the longer ago someone registered the more likely they are to hold some strong views. For many of us it was just a strong feeling that corporate ownership is awful, but not for everyone.

  • This is why some of us are so focused on spreading the load.

  • They're called communities, but they're still your subscriptions, so in this context it works.

  • Great! It was unmoderated for a while but I recently took it over and I'm hoping to breathe some life into it.

  • I wanted a short username since I'm not usually able to get one and the idea of it being something common and impossible to search was fun.

  • You have almost 900 post, 9000 comments

    If I could hide the count I would

    and you moderate 16 communities.

    Yeah, and like half of them are niche with little to no other posters. Not exactly a powerful position. There's a couple big ones that no one else was volunteering to help with. But I'm by no means I power mod. I want to help communities grow. Not police people. I wasn't a mod on reddit if that's what you're thinking.

    You are a member of the delegate class whose intrinsic power comes from trapping users into their instances and communities by holding their account, history and relationships hostage.

    I don't understand how you think I'm doing this? By being too active? If anything that should make people take me less seriously lol.

    You can prove me wrong and prove there is no friction to escaping your control by leaving the server sh.itjust.works

    For no reason other than what's essentially a dare? I like the admins. And as pointed out I am active, it's not like reddit where I could make a new acct and blend in as a new user. If I had a real reason to move I wouldn't mind.

    Consider yourself called out.

    Nah

  • None of that is imperative important* to me on a place like this.

  • At least we can easily pack up and move camp in familiar territory (same apps/frontends, etc.)

  • Square metre maybe. Unless you'd like to join the tent encampments that have cropped up in the last decade. :/

  • there's not
