This is exactly what they are complaining about 😛

Even when running an instance for yourself, you’re not really safe. The threat to your privacy goes from being a third party in control of your data to your own operational inexperience.

I tried to host my own personal Lemmy instance and ran into a lot of issues hosting it. On the one hand you want to be safe by restricting unnecessary access, but on the other hand you have no idea why federation doesn’t work, or the postfix-relay docker cannot send an email, or why you cannot ssh into your own host, so you want to just allow everything and just get it to work somehow. In the end, unless you are already an expert at this stuff, trying to host your personal instance safely is a tall task.

It’s also going to be very costly. Especially for an image sharing website like Pixelfed.

Maybe there is a market for self-service managed hosts like we have with Wordpress blogs.

Pretty late if they are starting now. Replacement-level fertility is about 2.1 children. Even if they somehow convince their young to increase the rate, it’ll take at least 18 years to see any effect.

You know, saying that everyone except caucasians are “people of color” itself reeks of inherent racism.

Racism is quite common in the world. It always has been. It’s just that in most of our history our out-groups were still local so racism didn’t manifest.

Right now we’re at a point in the human journey where we see people of different races quite often, but we don’t interact often enough that it is no longer relevant for anyone. It’s improving.

I swear there are as many packers and movers as there are ways to spell Agarwal. This is the case of Buma, Punna, and Pumma crowding search results for Puma.

Must have been a long vacation.

That means you are a misogynist through and through. /s

to be is an irregular verb that takes the forms am, are, and is in the present tense. to become is a different verb which has the forms become, and becomes.

It was not.

It used to be this social media site where you could write these notes that were short enough for blue birds to carry around to everyone.

Well, I’m here for the fanfic about British intelligence gathering devices.

It’s hard work but pays handsomely.

Well then so is a Mercedes. . . . . .

But you wouldn’t steal a car, would you?

Thank you!

Halp. I don’t understand how it went from step 2 to step 3.

I can “Save” a post on wefwef and come back to it later.
