Prefer Linux but I like the Apple hardware so I’m giving it a try.

Actually we still can add posts and comments, but just users from our instances and the ones we federate with can see it.
I’m a little confused myself as a Lemmy.world user. I was able to leave a comment on a behaw technology forum and got upvotes on it.
France out of all places was actually considering this?!?
This whole Japan nuclear wastewater thing going around the news has me shaking my head.
The word nuclear in general just scares people.
I talked about piracy a whole bunch in the switch piracy subreddit.
Wonder if I’ll get sued in 10-15 years for it along with the 1000s of others.
Email is the one thing I don’t bother self hosting.
You need to use an existing host with reputation or most of your emails will end up in junk or be outright blocked.
I had to exit the app to confirm which one was wefwef.
I miss the Wild West days. It built character.
Children today never have to see this kind of shit anymore.
I think it’s just because this guy left a comment, the algorithm picked up the post again.
Kinda like ‘bumping’ a thread in the forum days.
This post is 2 years old lol
Uh no, you can’t. It’s like any game with DRM.
You can’t play most games on steam without logging in at least once.
Just use TLLauncher.
It really boils down to availability. A VPS will usually be more reliable than a home network.
For 99% of personal use though a home network behind a dynamic DNS service will be more than good enough.
And somehow some people are going to use this as reasoning that they need more guns to defend themselves.
I pay them nearly $100 a month for internet. They can get fucked if they want to dictate what legal things I do with it.
Another Pro tip:
If you really want to self host and have good internet speeds, then just use a dynamic dns service to point a domain at your home network :)
It’s free minus the power costs. Sure you won’t be able to guarantee availability but for most personal(and friends/family) use it’s more than good enough.
I say this because the reason a lot of people use VPS is because their ISP won’t give them a static IP. You don’t need a static IP.
Here’s my point though:
You follow people on twitter. If the people you follow stay on twitter, you are forced to use twitter to see what they post.
You follow topics on Reddit. If the community doesn’t leave Reddit, that’s okay. You can still find the exact same community over here or start one yourself.
That single distinction will make this platform more successful than mastodon.
Wrong.
It has a way better chance because we don’t need to rely on popular people joining for it to grow. Anyone can start a community for any topic.
How many minutes of browsing is 600 tweets?
I personally can’t even use twitter anymore because I don’t have an account.
Removing public access to your content is a surefire way to lose the normies they rely on so much for advertising income.

Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.
