Agree on the handpicking yes. Nothing bad in reposting content, but mass posting just drowns communities and doesn’t generate engagement.
- Comment on Reddit to lemmy reposter 2 days ago:
No thank you. Just leeching content from reddit will never get Lemmy anywhere.
I blocked all content reposted from Lemmy (there was an instance dedicated to that iirc).
First of all, posts without comments are pointless. Interaction and comments is what grows Lemmy. Second, bot posts are not well received by most here I think.
I can see it useful only as a “reddit backup” of kind, in case the platform goes offline for good and all that is lost.
I would worry for the level of moderation required to filter shitty / ai / bots etc.

Well, that’s true of most internet. Luckly, internet Is not (yet) real life.

I am not american and frankly find American style polemics quite hard to understand. Mind me I have quite a few american good friends, and I lived in the USA for a few years too, nothing against USA itself.
But yes Tolerance is at the base of civil life and that’s true even with intolerant people.

How does the Lemmy creators actually personally benefit from the fact I run my own Lemmy instance?
I do not donate to them, but how is the technology created be them evil if it fits my concept of decentralized web?
Do they get money because I run my instance o use another one not under their control? O doubt it
I am actually using their tech against themselves, so what?

Maybe the fact I am not a native speaker affect how my words are understood.
Actually yes fascist and communist are two ends of the spectrum, I have no idea what tankies means, it seems to be some slang or jargon.
But no, why would using lemmy means people from Lemmy.ml controlling what we read? That’s totally bonkers.
- Comment on Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views? 5 days ago:
And you seems to be from a non US instance, it might be related to the fact you seems to be the only agreeing with me.
But yes, at the end the concept it the technology should not be judged by the political views of the creator.
I also agree with not supporting it finacially if that money goes where you don’t like.
- Comment on Does Lemmy need a fork or a rewrite due to its maintainers views? 6 days ago:
I really don’t like this dangerous trend of condemning actions of people based on wether we agree with them or disagree with them.
Because this behavior is at the base for intolerance and strong polarization.
First of all, I want to judge your actions for what they are, not for what your political views are. So Lemmy is good and I like that full stop. There will be better alternatives (maybe already are) and I will judge them without agreeing with their creators political views.
Second, I prefer to discuss and interact with people who have different views and political ideas than me, because that’s where I grow my ideas and enforce or dispute them. Enough of the echo chamber where the “algorithm” already places us in every social fucking media.
Kids, it’s by enforcing and supporting even the ideas contrary to yours that you grow up. Yes this is annoying and can cause serious brain engagement, but yeah, that’s how we progress.
Even fascists or communist ideas. Zionist or pro-Palestine, pro gender or anti woke, if we start judging peoples actions only for their ideas we become fascists.
I was also tought that what you do is more significant than what you say. Judge by actions, not words.
So I don’t dislike technology because the guy behind it is a fascist or a communist.
Said so, if anybody thinks that can do a better Lemmy by forking it, go ahead and let me judged by the actions.

I use endurain but mostly to backup my Garmin activities.
It’s nice, lots of development and efforts and very polished.
- Comment on PhotoStructure vs. PhotoPrism 4 weeks ago:
Tried photoprism, then tried immich. Never went back.
Easier installation, easier management, more polished, just better overall

I worked through three zogbee dongles from Amazon including the sonoff one.
Always had issues with my mesh. Upgrading to the one provided by Nabu guys (the v1) fixed them all and it’s been almost one year rock solid now. No more disconnection or better devices losing it

OpenList?
- Comment on Any Cloudflare clean, anonymous (Not require email to register) Lemmy instance open? 5 weeks ago:
This, run your own instance.
That’s the point I guess. You don’t like others rules? Set your instance and live by your rules.
- Comment on Is it normal to be able to shut your nose from within? 1 month ago:
Yes you can, but it’s not very strong. So when jumping into water, you might want to force close with fingers to prevent pressured water to get into the nose even if you keep it closed with your internal muscles.
I almost broke my timpanus due to a very high jump without using the fingers
- Comment on Why do Republicans hate the poor so much? 1 month ago:
Actually protestants in italy ate the most progressive form of Christianity we have. The Valesian church for example accept same sex marriage, has had female priests since forever and has a very strong position on church-state separation and non proselytizing.
You just don’t know much about protestants and think they are all the same like Trump or Bolsonaro.
- Comment on Backups of Backups 1 month ago:
I follow the good 9pd 3 2 2 rule. Three backups, in two locations, one is remote.
First copy on an external hard drive that gets mounted only for that, then unmounted.
Second copy still at home, on a disk connected to an OpenWRT access point in the patio.
Third copy on my VPS, so remote.
Each night restic take care of all that.
- Comment on My own copyparty instance 1 month ago:
I never tested copyparty… Thank you for the test… Nice! I am using OpenList at this time, but CC is also nice.
- Comment on Question about Immich 1 month ago:
Yes it’s docker… Immich is only deployed via docker.
Indeed its your docker mount points / volumes.
- Comment on How often do you update software on your servers? 1 month ago:
Gentooer here. Emerge sync &; world daily at night.
Weekly a manual check for stuff that doesn’t autoupdate for reasons.
Monthly / biweekly podman compose pull for containers. Manual, because i don’t trust that kind of autoupdate.
- Comment on what do you think about that large difference in egypt (inequality) 2 months ago:
The failure of globalization?
Where it was supposed to lift third world countries from poverty and instead created bigger wealth gaps?
Font know really. It’s like that in many places… India, Mexico, South Africa just a few that I have seen.
It’s mostly failure of the state.
- Comment on Is it possible to be a leftist, but still really enjoy capitalism? 2 months ago:
Very much yes!
Leftist doesn’t mean communist at all

I don’t care for the pwa since I use Markor on android and syncrhing…
Yes the looks are ugly and it’s been a pain with SSO and auth in general…
Let me know!
I like how your project looks more.
- Comment on jotty·page - Checklists & Notes made it easy 2 months ago:
I currently use Silverbullet.MD, which is cool, but a bit too much for my needs.
Can you tell me the pros of using jotty instead?

Dogs can express and feel lots of emotions. But don’t humanize them.
- Comment on Photofield v0.20.0 released: dark mode, photo details, best scrollbar, better map, more search filters, etc. 2 months ago:
I love how smooth is photo field, and the way it makes browsing your photos so unique.
I think it’s a neat project!
- Comment on Photofield v0.20.0 released: dark mode, photo details, best scrollbar, better map, more search filters, etc. 2 months ago:
I remember trying it. A very neat idea beautifully implemented. But switched to IMMICH, more features, closer to what I needed.
Keep up the great job! Having alternatives is always a good thing.
I loved photofield!

I have gone down the matrix rabbit hole but i choose Continuwity, which is the successor to Conduwuit after the community drama.
It’s a rust server alternative to synapse, it’s lightweight and works very well.
Fuck synapse, it’s a colossal pain for small servers, not worth it. I also actively avoid anything related to the company behind it since I think they poison what matrix could be.
I wish I started with XMPP, but now I am selfhosted on matrix, so.
