The difference this time is that my computer literally can’t run Win 11. I’m not throwing away a perfectly good PC just because of Win 11’s hardware requirements.

Chaotic neutral isn’t that bad when you’re doing programming since the extra vertical space is really convenient.

I’ve been lawful neutral ever since the pandemic forced work from home.

The Nesting Box is $70 and it’s a box designed to hold Wingspan and all it’s expansions. I can see the use of such a thing because it’s currently a bit of a pain setting up a game when the components are spread out over multiple boxes but I just don’t think it’s worth the cost.

The Nesting Box does not come with the base game or any expansions and is solely used to store those items.

I love Wingspan. It’s a great game and the expansions make it even better (I have Europe And Oceania).

I’ve thought about buying the Nesting Box for it too but it’s so expensive for what is essentially an empty box.

Do you have to take your posts with you? I’ve seen people mention this before but I don’t understand why that’s such a big deal. I do agree about the communities though and feel that there needs to be an easy way to export your subscriptions so they can be imported on another account.

That was my thought as well. A single user instance with no local communities would only be storing posts from communities that one user subscribes to. Assuming the person subscribes to only what they want to see, that will be all they get (and any risks that come from storing information from those communities).

In a hypothetical situation where there are only single-user instances and community instances (instances that function as the source of communities), the only ones taking on risk would be the individual users subscribed to a community and owners of the instance hosting the community. There wouldn’t be a need for an admin to make decisions to protect themselves that affect other users.

Honestly, I feel like self-hosting a single user instance is the ideal way to use the Fediverse. It gives you full control over what you see. However, that would require self hosting to become so simple anyone can do it.

Reading all these comments it’s clear that a lot of people have unrealistic ideas regarding what Lemmy and the Fediverse are supposed to be (or maybe it’s me with weird ideas).

The Fediverse is just a bunch of apps that can all communicate with each other through a shared protocol. There is no requirement for them to be free speech platforms or host everything. The whole purpose of defederation supports the idea that instances are free to associate or disassociate with whichever instances they want. Furthermore, nearly every guide I read on joining Lemmy state that you should choose instances to join based on shared ideals/beliefs.

For everyone saying “I’m leaving lemmy.world” I say “Good. That’s what you’re supposed to do.” When the instance you join no longer aligns with what you want, you go to another instance and then you’ll be back to viewing all the communities you want to see. That is what the Fediverse is all about and how it’s designed.

I don’t understand why everyone is so shocked they did it. Hosting information on pirating stuff is a lightning rod for lawsuits and Lemmy.world is large enough to actually get noticed.

I’m only surprised it took them that long to block it.

Why don’t they just raise their prices a bit? Adding a “not” tip to the bill just seems odd.

I feel like the best way to handle the situation with similar/same communities on different instances is to allow communities to automatically federated with other communities. That way subscribing to one community will show you its posts and all the posts to its linked communities.

It would be especially helpful for these general purpose communities like Technology or News since I would imagine most communities are going to have one.

If that happens then we wouldn’t need to hunt down and follow every single instance of the same community. Let the mods handle it on their end to save the rest of us the effort.

I agree. It’s really annoying that now a bunch of incredibly helpful information has disappeared. This might hurt Reddit but it also hurts everyone else who might have benefited from it.

Great job. Everything seems to be working smoothly for me now. The past several days have been a bit rough but now it’s all working.
