I suspect it's that they block all .ml instances. Fb also blocks lemmy.ml but not midwest.social Potentially a good reason to use other instances?

Search function cannot specify which sublemmy to search
I select c/asklemmy and search my term and it returns results for all of lemmy.

What’s your opinion on people who use cryptocurrency?
Pretend you meet a random person and they tell you they use cryptocurrency. What's your opinion on that person based off that statement alone?

An Ayn Rand (libertarianism) fan on Lemmy.ml? Srs question, do you find all the communists and left-anarchists here annoying?


Rule 2 suggestion
Not that this is that important, but it could be clarified to say: "Be respectful. Everyone should feel welcome here. Besides bigots." Given how offended people became over the "Lemmy.ml is an antifa instance post", that may be helpful

Finally someone else who understands private property (Lemmy.ml) can mostly set its own speech rules!



Would you be willing to pay more taxes for socialism?
I was told growing up that I won't like socialism once I have to start paying taxes. I pay taxes, but would much rather pay way more taxes to have socialism. Including paying for social programs I wouldn't use like welfare, free tuition etc. Once I qualified for work pharmacare that was great! But I remember how much it sucked not having any health insurance. Yeah I bootstrapped it, but I'd hope we would grow up as a species and not have to have so much bootstrapping, since there are better ways at this point.

The NFT ‘movement’ is kinda the opposite of the foss ‘movement’ right?
They seem to be fundamentally at odds, or i don't understand something

When content is removed, we can’t tell who the mod is who removed it and that makes it very difficult to seek clarification
'A message all mods' function would be beneficial for this. But maybe someone has an idea on how to accomplish this with lemmy's current tools?

riseup

In December 2014, a judge in Spain partially justified prolonging the detention of seven alleged anarchist activists by citing their use of “extreme security measures” such as Riseup email, the judge’s act has been criticized by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).[17][18]

A privacy win in america is a privacy win globally. (ex your data might fly through usa google servers)


I editted it on lemmy.ml a while ago, but i guess edits don’t federate? @dessalines@lemmy.ml

Can you set it up so that we can invite friends with referral links (a la mastodon style) and it bypasses the application requirement? Maybe we have to apply to get the referral link activated.



"There are no trackers and I don’t keep any kind of logs. I am running an almost identical version of lemmy as lemmy.ml using docker, I only slightly modified one of the themes on the lemmy-ui. The e-mails and the private messages are not encrypted, so if someone has access to the server they would be able to see them. Passwords are hashed. My policy is that I don’t look into any private information. If someone posts something illegal enough for the authorities to contact me (human trafficking, child pornography, etc) I would collaborate with them however I can, but this is a special and very unlikely case.

I will make an effort to keep the instance running for a while, but I don’t want to make guarantees about keeping it up for a determined amount of time. I am running the instance because I want to participate on Lemmy via my own instance, and I am also happy to allow others to make account on this instance. But if the instance were to be brigaded I might choose to make the instance private because I am not so keen on spending a lot of time moderating."


Is there anyway to currently allow users to shuffle through an image album?
There are 3 pictures here: https://lemmy.ml/post/160509 But the thumb nail preview only shows 1 pic. How can i make it show me pic 2 as the thumbnail pic? How can i make it so users can shuffle through all 3 pics without leaving lemmy?

I like fedizens more. But we could run with both names and even web4. @Liwott@lemmy.ml



They can’t shut down 3rd party clients, but i heard moxie is rather oppose to them


‘Couldn’t create report’
I'm unable to report some content

No more Moxie Marlinspike? Maybe finally, a signal that accepts custom clients the way matrix and mastodon do?




Click the link, it has 2 pictures rather than lemmy's 1 pic preview

I didn’t really make it to be right wing.

Telegram and some other alt tech aren’t made to be rightwing hangouts, but turns out lax moderation attracts a certain kind of crowd

Tommm (@tommytran732:matrix.org), jaafar, hik, @mfwmyfacewhen:matrix.org are recruited as moderators


[drama] Joepie91 resigns from moderation in the PG matrix room titled “lounge”
I'm hereby announcing my resignation as a moderator of PrivacyGuides. Over the past couple months, dngray has repeatedly been interfering with my job as a moderator (most of these cases were never public), making it unnecessarily energy-intensive and time-consuming for me, beyond what I can afford to spend on this as volunteer work. Moderation is an extremely tough job to do right in and of itself, it's very easy to burn out, and it can only work when the rest of the team is supportive and constructive, including in their criticism. Unfortunately, this has not been the case with dngray, who has been increasingly meddling with moderation decisions without bothering to understand the "why" - something that, I might add, quite a few other community members have done over the years (for which I'm thankful!). There are other factors at play here, too; he has repeatedly shown CoC-violating behaviour himself, both in public and private rooms. He's added Tommi as a moderator without discussing it with any other team members, despite concerns that I'd expressed earlier about potentially disruptive behaviour. Several more such unilateral changes have occurred over the months. This total lack of communication is a real problem - it makes my job much harder. I've repeatedly attempted to resolve these issues in private over the past several months, but unfortunately this has not resulted in any change; dngray simply refuses to accept that he is ever doing anything wrong at all, no matter the concerns or points that are brought up. Other team members do not seem to have the energy or desire to engage with the issue either - I won't speculate about the reasons for that beyond commenting that the internal team discussions have not been going well for some time now, but the end result is that I see no way to resolve this matter internally anymore. To put it bluntly: dngray is making my job as a moderator unsustainable. When a high-ranking team member not only repeatedly violates the CoC and is not open to changing that, and shows zero appreciation for or recognition of the significant amount of work that I've been putting into keeping this community healthy for the past several years, but also _actively interferes with_ that work and constantly violates my boundaries despite asking them to stop doing so... it becomes impossible for me to continue doing this work. I have my own mental health and energy levels to think about, and I cannot afford to spend twice as much energy on it just because a single team member cannot behave respectfully. I wish the best of luck to the remaining mods, and as before, I'm always happy to give advice if somebody gets stuck. I'll probably stick around, at least as long as the community doesn't fall apart again. But I will not be moderating the PG community anymore. It feels like 'abandoning' the community to me, and I fucking hate it, but I simply cannot afford to keep doing this under these working conditions. I have to put my own health first.
