I might be cursed
No no no, that’s me, don’t worry. I might migrate over there! (do worry)
- Comment on Instance freezing as an alternative to full shut down 2 days ago:
Questioned yes, and for fair reason, but nothing technically or legally prevents it, also for good reason. Would you say for example that Jordan Lund has an automatic legal claim to the username “jordanlund” everywhere? How about Jordan B. Lund? Or Jordan S. Lund? Or Jörd Anlund? Don’t they have just as much “right” to that username, even if it is in a different instance?

Whether technology is inherently bad is of nearly no matter. The problem we’re dealing with is the technologies with exherent badness.
- Comment on Instance freezing as an alternative to full shut down 3 days ago:
If you keep your username and avatar,
No such guarantees. Usernames are not “copyrighted” across instances for very good reasons, and there is no cross verification of origin other than what you voluntarily provide on your own profile sig.
- Comment on Instance freezing as an alternative to full shut down 3 days ago:
Not just transferring communities, but also posting history (much of what makes a user’s identity).
I’m starting to think that the best way to use Lemmy for posterity is actually the same way as using Reddit for posterity (assuming you’d want to do that): rather than submit your comments directly there, post them in your own blog or smth and just make your lemmy/reddit comments links to your home-comments.

Thanks!

Joining in to the general thanks to the administration for running this instance. I migrated here from vlemmy I think? I don’t even remember it’s been forever in internet years. But lemm.ee is (soon was) good to be in. Sending the best wishes to the team.
Where will I go? Dunno. I’m eyeing .zip but also looking for other alternatives. Might reinvigorate my fedia presence in the meantime.
A question: is if recommended to unsub from local communities before lemm.ee sundowns?

Nothing in the text indicated humor.

It’s called observing reality. For example, gay marriage is illegal in several states, slavery only got legalized to ~40 hrs a week, incarcerated men and women are deprived the right to vote, etc.
Come on it’s not that hard.
- Comment on Maybe Trump's Presidency Will Make Everything So Awful It Will Facilitate Actual Positive Change Nationwide 4 weeks ago:
Are you sure? Legal means it has to be legal everywhere, otherwise you can just get the same treatment eg.: doctors get for providing abortion. Nowadays, that means you can get ICEd by an out-of-state order.

Maybe COVID will be so bad that it will facilitate me go get into exercise
Health, being about people or countries, does not work that way.

I mean, “compares as bad” is comparable, right? :p

Isn’t it dangerous now that PDFs can run javascript? (Who had that idiotic idea, anyway?)
- Comment on My Thoughts on the Fosstodon Drama | Kev Quirk 5 weeks ago:
Yet the mob not only punishes for the former, but does it so instance-wide, needlessly tarnishing the reputation of normal users of the instance while the admins moderated that problem on their own.
Punishing people by transitivity only gets communities so far.

So, the usual “on the Fediverse you shalln’t be anything less than immaculately perfect” crap?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Well, that’s just about as good news as can be in the current tech climate, in particular considering programs like VLC and KeePass are getting this visibility.

There is a non-zero chance that if you press it, you become smarter enough to realize you shouldn’t have pressed it…

Okay but where is the video? To share.

…Why is there a conservative magazine in lemm.ee to even begin with?
This sounds pretty easy to nip in the bud. With a bulldozer.
- Comment on What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country? 3 months ago:
The fact that it’s exactly what they want.
Trump won with the popular vote: thhose want to be fascists. And those who don’t vote, well they just confirm a fascist in power.

That should suffice.
