working fine for me , actually I have to say lemmy.world has been very stable

Basically my heart is here now and this is where I come for social media , that does not mean I will not use reddit from time to time , but those times are getting less and less, my main reason to use reddit now is to promote lemmy. To give a better idea I spent probably an hour a day on reddit or two or three visits. Now I have not visited for over a week and recent visits have been a few minutes.

Epic post, really good advice, MInt is the way to go IMO as well, the Xfce version is perfect for my needs and really stable, indeed having dabbled with linux for years this is the only version I have used for more than a year, actually just checked and I have been on mint now since 2020 with just the one upgraded installation. I actually duel boot but never actually boot into window for anything other than occasional work needs.

No problem connecting with jerboa here but can not login on my laptop, have deleted the cashe and site data to no avail Edit spotted the reset pass fix, bit of a messy solution but heyho am back

Can I just quickly mention that I for one really appreciate the work done by @ruul to keep this instance working as well as it does , thank you.

I have read the responces , and I applaud the general tone of both sides of the discussion. I have to just say that without view exchange , and expressly with view suppression , those who feel suppressed become even more intrenched. I for one learned from the debate.

“stupid lemmings” and “narcissistic sociopaths” sounds like a popcorn drama

server ragequit, that’s a tale that should be told

Those do not appear to be written by him, but will do some more digging. However open exchange of views is wise in my opinion even if they are those I personally do not agree with. Edit Rightly ho, although I clearly have not read all the material on display (openly public btw) it is obviously the repository of someone who is willing to explore the far left politically , but the essays that might be by him(some are not accredited) are not on the subjects you mentioned, those are accredited to others. Now this dev might or might not agree with this stuff, they might be a politics student I can not say but I doubt anyone has asked. I am not sure it is particularly relevant in this thread anyway.

I have seen the conspiracies posts as well but assumed they were just reddit shill accounts spreading disinformation, no one I know has taken them seriously. It is interesting to see this point of view, especially the “this day would come” bit, for me I sort of knew something was wrong , but it is like your local pub slowly being taken over, you do not want it to be true so you ignore stuff you should not.

I guess that is well worth keeping in mind , coming from the cesspool that is reddit everything seems so polite here by comparison.

That is promising , I was hoping we are not polluting the pool , so to speak

This, Refreshing 😀👍

Clearly a case of “can’t see the wood for the trees” corking work there 👍😀

Also useful ammo if you get attacked by the current anti lemmy stuff going around.

that is pretty conclusive

That sounds very plausible

Realistic assessment but the way reddit’s ceo is going ,I think we will see more exodus 1st july and again shortly after that, I do think reddits bad news train has only just left the station.

This, methinks we have a wondrous opportunity to develop something just better.

Read the thread if you have not , some really good ideas and recommendations here IMO
