blitzen

With the enshittification of the rest of the internet, I’m starting to welcome simple email and rss feeds.

Sounds like what I’ll do. The mods on Reddit were stubbornly against any spoiler warnings. Hoping we could have that here.

If we’re not going to post spoiler warnings, I’m gonna need to block the entire community.

Seems to be what those in most of the US would call a standard size pickup truck. Not “compact” like a Hilux/Tacoma, nor comically oversized like the oft-lifted 3/4 or full-ton trucks.

Calling this truck an “SUV” is very mildly infuriating.

Calls it a “proxy war” and yet still is upset when it’s suggested they have Kremlin sympathies. GTFO with all that.

I’d like to see the big subs each create an official mastodon account for the sole purpose of announcing trustworthy information. One the subs come back up, especially if it’s earlier than expected, how will we know if they were taken over by the admins?

Lemmygrad.ml on the block list is the primary reason I chose this instance over others. There’s value in having a pleasant place to digitally reside.

On the topic of staying on Facebook for Messenger, I’ve taken the stance that asks ‘why is it up to me to use a proprietary and ad-driven service to stay in touch but others’ refusal to email is tolerated.’ My family has my email address, they can contact me if they want.

Hello fellow humans. I’m actually from a different CA, California. But I’m a believer that you should choose an instance based upon the administration not on topic, and this one feels much more in line with my sensibilities than the other large ones. Sorry to stereotype, but the conversations feel kinder here than elsewhere (even by the already nice standards of lemmy instances overall.)

I don’t much like sharing personal type information online, so I hope you’ll forgive my brevity. I don’t work in tech, but have had a lifelong interest in it so I feel right at home here at the ground floor of a new community.

IIRC, he open sourced the server backend.

Edit: apparently I do not recall correctly. I remember someone saying something about open source, and he posted something to github. I incorrectly linked the two. Thanks to those posted more accurate information below.
