Yeah exactly. It does have some features that require integration with the init system, which systemd obviously supports, but it could be used independently of systemd quite happily, and other init systems could easily support those integrations.

Removing as it is off-topic. I’ve cross posted this to [email protected]: https://lemmy.world/post/205168

That’s great, thanks for starting the community! It’s good to have place where the content accessible for people to still engage with it.

We’ll find a way to promote the visibility of the community so that it can start to become a hub. Probably in a list of recommended communities stickied to the front page.

Hey! This post is not specifically related to the lemmy.world instance. From now on, posts such as these will be removed, in order for the community to stay on topic. However, as this post has a relatively high engagement, I’ll just lock it for now.

Hey dude - did you post this on the wrong post?

Hey there. This instance currently follows the code of conduct and rules for mastodon.world: https://mastodon.world/about

Discussion and civil criticism of these subjects is allowed, but name calling, ad hominem attacks, and other uncivil behaviour breaks the rules.

Also remember that specific communities here may have additional rules.

It looks like we can’t pin comments yet, so apologies if this reply gets buried. For now I’m going to lock this post, as the discussion has degraded and is full of rule-breaking.

That’s so strange, I’ve been getting the same thing. Going to the link directly failed, but searching for mastodonworld and clicking on the link somehow worked. Now it seems to be working again 🤷

Its an important question, and one I’d like to see more discussion on. Something you can do is look at the modlog for the instance and see if there’s any actions in there that make you suspicious.

I chose this instance on the strength of that code of conduct, but I’d be happy to abandon this account right now and start fresh on a new instance if I no longer felt comfortable with the policies here. For now though I’ve chosen to put my trust here, and I guess thats all that can be done for now.

The alternative is to start your own instance, because then you’d have maximum control, but I know thats not realistic for me or many others tight now.

The instance is getting pretty heavily loaded at the moment. Its possible something went wrong with saving the setting properly. Maybe in a few minutes try checking that the your settings are shown correctly in the UI and and then going to the front page again?
