So, hey, can someone explain to me about Linux Mint, like since it is derivative of Ubuntu does that mean that the new system of having to pay for Ubuntu updates is inherited by Mint?
Lemmy is missing the small communities and frankly, most of the medium sized communities that Reddit has. I don’t find the userbase that toxic but of course there is the occasional twat to deal with, luckily the blocking system is more robust than Reddit’s. Hopefully user growth will continue and people that still use Reddit will promote Lemmy and the Fediverse there enough to feed the exodus.
They were amazing pioneers of shitposting and circlejerking but some people considered them something of a hate group for their callouts of specific subcultures. I’m suggesting that aspect of things that OP is describing isn’t exactly new.
But yeah, agreed, the swift, stark ban policy was very effective in creating a “civil” society there - idiots showed up to fuck around, bam hope they’ve got 10 more bucks if they want to try again under a different account.
I had commented on another post of yours that had the issue just now in case you werent aware it was happening but looking at your profile it seems like it’s only 50/50, some work just fine. Hopefully it’s a broken dependency (?) in an update on the kbin or lemmy side and gets fixed in the next update.
Hey PugJesus, enjoy your posts but just an aside all your image links from the last couple days have just shown as a blue background Kbin logo when viewed from lemmy.world. When I click on the link I can see the content just fine but it appears to be a mild case of dysfederation. I imagine you have a better grasp of fediverse than I do so I figured I’d bring it to your attention in hopes that it can be remedied without too much effort.
