Oh fuck :(

Whelp…boo-urns. :(

OOTL and someone who only uses a vm once every several years for shits & grins: What happened to vmware?

Well I wish you luck in finding what you’re looking for, but Lemmy/Kbin by definition isn’t it.

Any community that isn’t 100% fully owned and operated by you, yourself, Mango, is going to run into the risk of a mod ‘censoring’ or deleting something that you wanna see.

Any and every community. Here, Reddit, Facebook, any social media, any forum public or private. If you yourself don’t own and run it in its entirely, that’s a problem you cannot avoid.

So I mean this without any real intended offense but: shit or get off the pot. Run your own community that connects to no other system or service run by other people and hope the people you wanna talk to drop by, or tbh get used to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Can revenge-downvote me all you want Pepsi but I’m right on this one lol.

I know right? Magical!

You can, it’s called hosting your own instance. It’s literally one of the points of the Fediverse (i.e. ‘Fuck you I don’t like how you’re running things, I’ll go make my own with blackjack and hookers’). If an instance admin does things you don’t like, you get to leave, go to a new instance, and follow the same communities you did before via that one instead.

Damn Talarian’s took me down every time lol.

Elite Force 1+2 are still amazing today too!

Someone elsewhere shared this but:

Go into your ublock origin settings and go to your My Filters section. Add:

www.youtube.com##+js(nano-stb, resolve(1), *, 0.001)

on a new line and apply. Should stop the delay from occuring.

Ex cathedra, iirc (or something similar).

Underagedrated comment right there!

Wasn’t referring to the Fediverse as a whole, just that Lemmy page you linked to, but I did indeed not scroll far enough down. I just saw the mass list of increasing users and posts and missed the section below lol. Definitely slowing down a bit.

Edit: Sorry hit the button too quick lol. If you click on Lemmy you’ll be able to see the stats for various instances, its been basically constantly growing, can’t speak as to quality lol.

Edit: Nerp, I derp’d.

Fuck sake…

Edit: Just shut shit down, sell the IP’s to Dramatic Labs (who are made up of former OG Telltale people) and let shit continue on with competence (I say, having enjoyed Star Trek: Resurgence).

Don’t worry, some of us understood lol.

Agreed. Just gotta give the place love. Pick something you care about and just talk about it.

e.g. I’m a pro wrestling guy. When the Redditpocalypse happened, a handful of the /r/SQ people came over here to kbin and made a community and just kinda…died after a week or three from lack of use cause everyone stuck with Reddit or went to the Discord.

Right now /m/SquaredCircle is the largest and most active wrestling community on lemmy/kbin (at least that I can see when searching), mostly cause A) my ass for the last few months has been posting 99% of the news and occasional highlights, and B) 1 of the new mods has been posting all the discussion threads and kicking up engagement where he can.

We building this shit up.

Being a pirate is alright with me!

Naw, I was too. Haven’t been for a year or two, but I’ve only ever subscribed to them for the shipping. Barely used their streaming when I did cause, also, yarr 🏴‍☠️

Perfect.
