- Comment on MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: WG is shutting down as a public instance March 1st 2025. 1 month ago:
Early on we were experimenting with trying to offer everything on the fediverse from a Lemmy instance. A lot of changes and tweaks were made to try to make that work before it was abandoned. There’s a lot of leftover bloat from that project that we’ve been trying to deal with without too much impact to the Lemmy instance but for the size of the instance it makes more sense to start over than to spend even more time trying to undo the wrongs of the past. There isn’t a specific cautionary tale here besides “don’t go public with things that you hope to fix later.”
More recently we’ve had issues with our registrar or DNS pop up that no one seems to have answers for yet, so sometimes the domain itself isn’t reachable. One problem or the other might not be a huge deal in the short term but together they make for a miserable time trying to sort things out. Moving the traffic to a known good config will help me maintain sanity while dealing with the issues at WG.

You may already have it handled but just in case here’s a post with some resources to help you find communities and migrate from reddit. I hope you find Lemmy more to your liking!

I don’t believe I’m spoiling anything by saying it’s a solid episode even if it doesn’t reach the peak of some of the recent releases. I wanted more, but I always do.

Awesome! Apple mint is somewhat of a recent discovery of mine and I can’t believe how much it smells and tastes like apples, it sounds like the orange mint is similar!

Fresh mint is so great to have around. What variety of mint is it?

Slavery never left America, they just gave it a different name and made it faceless.
- Comment on Did you know that you could block communities you don't like on lemmy instead of spamming downvotes? 5 months ago:
I have downvoting disabled anyway but it sucks that others are influenced by it.
I think there are a lot of people on Lemmy trying to turn public spaces into their private space, or shape communities into what they want instead of fostering a new one from the ground up.
It’s dead simple to start an instance or even a community on an instance that aligns with how people feel. Somehow instead we’ve defaulted to projecting negativity, which inhibits growth. Lemmy can be better.

How motivating do you think it is to post to smaller communities just to get an unrepresentative number of downvoters right off the bat? I can’t speak for OP but I’m sure there are plenty that don’t post or reply at all because of it.
I think at its core downvoting can be fine but on smaller platforms it’s easily abused as a form of content suppression, bullying, etc. Lemmy seems to be particularly prone to account hopping downvote spam, which sucks but it is what it is.
Thankfully Lemmy is flexible enough to create what you want more privately if one is so inclined. I’m smoking weed about it.

Lemmitors can’t resist downvoting.
