Lemmy’s “block” is essentially a “mute” function, too. It makes it so that you don’t see any more content from a user, but they can still make comments on your stuff.
Anti-fascist, anti-Trump, anti-Putin, anti-CCP; but I repeat myself.

Just curious as to what everyone’s using for MFA in their environments. Duo? Microsoft Authenticator? Okta? A jumble of different solutions depending on which system needed to be covered at the time and with no additional budget?
And that’s only for the personal OneDrive service. Business accounts are “https://YourOrg-my.sharepoint.com” for OneDrive access.
Nothing. Literally, they just need to change nothing, to do… nothing. It is their actions that are driving people away. Today as of this moment, reddit is working the same as it’s done for the past several years.
Then again, I’m defintely enjoying my time here on Lemmy much more than I was at this point on reddit. This feels more like the early days of reddit, where you have more meaningful engagements. You don’t show up to a thread only to find 1,000+ comments, and likely one toward the top saying the exact same words you intended to say.
Yeah I figure no need to discriminate at this point, anyone in the field of administering any IT systems is welcome here. If Lemmy really takes off and sometime down the road there seems a need for it we might establish rules for what’s appropriate to post here vs. other tech subs, but I don’t see the need for that now.
Well yeah, Lemmy is to Reddit what Mastodon is to Twitter. Never cared for Twitter pre or post-Elon.
Feel free to use this space for networking related posts as well. Not all of us have the fortune of being able to wear a single hat, and I know I’m just as interested in networking news & discussion as anything else in the IT space.
If you have interesting read-worthy news articles, I’d encourage you to post them. I’ve been pursuing some Linux news sites but don’t know what’s of interest to everyone. Also, Lemmy is a community and I don’t intend to be a one-man show. 😁
I started playing Firmament a bit before I saw this news yesterday. I figured the mysteriousness would unfold bit by bit as the game progressed as we’re used to with Cyan games, but now it seems it might just be a hodge-podge mess of AI written material. Oh well, the puzzles have been fun and engaging and I’ll probably keep playing.
Well it can be a good idea… if you’re looking to move on to those other options I mentioned (specialize, management, or goat farm). If you want to stay in the sysadmin space, I guess I’d still recommend automating, but with caution.
I think I remember that one, but did it reach blackout phase? I thought there was just much general negativity about it until reddit reversed course. That one didn’t necessarily make them money I don’t think, they just intended to “vanilla-ize” the site.
Yeah, my hope is that reddit is about to enter the “find out” phase. If they only stick to a 2 day blackout however (or snub it like the /r/sysadmin mods), things are going to get right back to status quo real quick unfortunately.
What do we think? Is IDG full of it? Is the industry trending toward DevOps? I suppose there’s always the other options - hyper-specialize in a given technology, or move on to management. Or go start a goat farm or something.
Uhh… is that normal? I always thought Debian was known for its stability and long release cycle.
I see it as a massively inflated sense of self worth on the mods’ part. Yes, /r/sysadmin has been handy for keeping up to date with events in the IT world. Is it the only source of breaking news? Hell no.
Absolute shit take on their part, and a 2-day blackout is the least that they could do. Everyone’s systems won’t go down in flames because /r/sysadmin isn’t there for people to whine about how they hate their jobs for a few days. If there’s some major vulnerability being exploited on those days, mainstream news and other tech news sites will pick it up.
However, they’re not entirely wrong on the first point. I remembered the 2015 blackout to protest the firing of Victoria the AMA admin and other stuff about Ellen Chao (honestly don’t remember or care what it was all about), and it was huge. Most subreddits went dark. Reddit didn’t hire Victoria back. If I recall there was a PR statement, and everyone moved on with their lives.
When I was searching for that I found that reddit has had a handful of other blackouts since - one about the SOPA bill (which I seem to recall), another about COVID (which I don’t), etc. - and as far as I can tell the most that all of those blackouts ever did was generate press.
They’re already at that point - reddit’s tenuous situation with their devaluation and the API nonsense has been all over the news, from Ars Technica, to CNN and Reuters. And really I don’t think it’s going to change anything either. Reddit’s going public, the stakeholders will have their say, and the site is going to be monitized and crapified, the users be damned.
But again, going dark for 2 days is, IMO, ethically required. For that matter, they should stay dark until reddit changes course.
Oh well, now we have Lemmy. :)
More like Microsoft 360, amirite? :)
So what do we think? Internal issue or hacktivist attack?
Squeenix - if you don’t hire this team and produce this game you’re fucking fools. But I think we already know that’s the case and you’re already furiously typing up the DMCA notices.
Welcome!
Infinity was a good replacement when Sync did its redesign, which I didn’t care for. Ah well. I don’t blame them of course, but reddit isn’t something I’m going to pay a subscription to access on a 3rd party app on my phone.
