Complaining

How do you all deal with complaining? Usually, I try to fix the problem, if there really is one, or deflect with humor. However, sometimes the complaining comes from all directions—my kid, my wife, my parents, my bosses, customers—and it wears me down. I find that pushing back can sometimes be counterproductive with some...

Kurt,

It would be nice if instances each had an XMPP server.

Kurt,

https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy is the only on that works for me on Jerboa. Even then it kicks me over to Firefox. Cc priorproject@lemmy.world

Kurt,

New Jersey today.

Kurt,

If lemmy.ml has a rule that is something along the lines of “mods have the final say”, then that’s that. In any case, the mods have the final say. Move on with your life!

Kurt,

I guess I don’t understand the point of the OP. It seems like you have a problem with the lemmy.ml mods behaving like mods.

Kurt,

r/woodworking would be nice.

Kurt,

Finding an instance that blocks least and is least blocked

Is there a way to shop around for a Lemmy instance based on how many instances are blocking it and how many instances it's blocking? For example, I noticed that the lemmygrad.ml instance is relatively popular, but it seems like a lot of other instances block it. It also blocks a bunch of other instances. So, if there are any...

Kurt,

Lol yes, I got banned from one of the communism subs for an honestly inoffensive reply I made to a post on the cum town sub. Go figure.

Anyway, it seems like the answer is to just run your own instance, but I wonder if a small home server might have trouble communicating with other instances, leading to even worse access.

Kurt,

Oh wow what did lemmygrad.ml do?

Kurt,

Is running your own Lemmy instance as difficult as an email server?

Kurt,

If instance 'A' has already blocked instance 'B', what does it matter to 'A' whether or not any other instances have also blocked 'B'? Would the admin have to go far out of their way to block the instances that don't block 'B' or is there a way to do it automatically?

Kurt,

Okay, thanks for filling me in. I myself am skeptical about US-centric, mainstream criticism of China and DPRK et al., but I can see how that gets annoying when people get carried away with it. If there's a way to mute instances rather than completely sever the connection for all the members of an instance with a block, I think that would have been more appropriate in this case. I think Mastodon has that functionality, but maybe not.

Kurt,

What about an instance with only one user?

Kurt,

Ah, but I can if it's mine, right? I'm going to give it a shot.

Kurt,

Hi

Kurt,

Based on the feedback I've been receiving, a user can just run their own instance on not be bound by the various internecine instance blocks. I will be looking into doing so myself.

kommadieb, to chat

@chat What happens when I simply mention a Lemmy community from Mastodon?

I hope this test isn’t considered abuse, lemmy.one, feel free to delete the post (if this creates a post at all…)

Testing in 3…2…1… 💥 ;)

Kurt,

Ah cool. Here's how my lemmy.one account looks in Tusky:
