This is the second error I described.

However, I was not trying to tell you what error you experienced, only offering my experience for comparison, or to add to the list of things you’re hearing about.

Cheers and Good Luck

I’ve had kbin show me a 500 once or twice, but it was because my ethernet cable had slipped the socket.

I’ve gotten more complex custom errors of indeterminate type, generally when posting, but typically the error is in error, as the post completes as expected.

I mean, there’s a lot of motivation to not do anything with twitter but stay away from it

It’s cool, user @djidane535 dropped some truth on me, and it finally soaked in.

I’ll probably end up with some user scripts, or a browser extension, but I’m holding back until I know more about the ecosystem, what’s useful, etc.

@djidane535

Actually, it took a minute to sink in, but that is very helpful. Thanks for enduring my morning dimness :D

@djidane535

Interesting but not really helpful. I found something in a recent FAQ that says I should add an article instead of a post, but the option to add an article is not on the menu on my instance, as it is in their screenie

Also I’m a mastodon user, and my account there is the focus of my microblogging activity. The user there follows this account, so my posts here, show up there. The short story is, the microblog here is essentially a right pain in my ass.

At least now I know what it is.

I too tried to flee reddit for lemmy.ml, over a year ago now - and found it to be a far worse clusterfucked shitstorm than reddit ever was, and I mean that ideologically, philosophically, politically, and morally.

I just didn’t go back until the current exodus, mainly because I was trying to see if the account still worked, and it had been lost/purged/banned whatever

fuck those guys and the horse they rode in on, then far as I’m concerned, they can ride it back out of here wet.

Might as well federate with facebook.

@Roundcat

Meta is facebook who engaged Cambridge Analytica to purchase our lives.

Not from us, but from them. Facebook literally sold out the world

Facebook nearly destroyed this country for a buck.

Fuck facebook. I don’t want to avoid federating because I dont want them around; I want to avoid federating because anything I can do to starve them of every resource for growth that I possibly can is the best thing I can do about facebook.

The main reason M$ stopped doing it is it did not work as intended in the long term. If anything, it hurt them in the long term. Hence c#. Hence their awkward embrasure of linux.

Not just LIKE reddit, BETTER than reddit.

damn right
