Yup. Listen to the latest season of Blowback podcast. CIA sheltered/evacuated a bunch of Al Quaeda leaders right before the invasion of Afghanistan began.

Honestly it aligns with my humor so well. Nothing else matches it for me.

I’m not sure how I missed this but I watched it because of this post and… wow

Yup

Very basic but enough to get started/ https://novakeith.net/2023/06/14/setting-up-lemmy-on-a-digital-ocean-droplet/

I’m not getting Microsoft Office or Apple quality mail clients, or word editors, but the fact that it’s always available to me is enough to make the trade off worth it. YMMV

For me it’s 100% Nextcloud. It was a pain to get working at first (and I’m dreading the day it breaks, if that happens). But it is so much more than just a self-hosted Dropbox solution:

• Maps
• Calendar
• Email
• Markdown editor (I’m using this to try and replace Google Drive for collaborative document editing with my friends; most of what we need can be achieved with Markdown formatting)
• I haven’t tried it but there is a Talk plugin that allows for video conferencing in browser;
• a bunch of other stuff I’ve never played with like mind maps, PDF conversion, music player, etc.

It forces Reddit’s hand even more IMO; if you start forcing a sub to stay on a certain topic by admin order (and not by mod’s / community “owner” choice), it really sets a weird tone for the community

Question about Vaultwarden. How does sync work? My browser extension for Bitwarden auto syncs to their server, is that possible with Vaultwarden? Or is it more for manual backup?

Thank you for [email protected] !

This is my journey too

Yeah, mine used to be listed but now its not :(

Yeah that’s just dumb.

I have loved the forum experience since about 25 years ago. I honestly don’t think I’m past it.

It’s insane that any CEO would point to Twitter and say, “that’s the model we want to follow”. They are making like 5 figures worth of money on subscriptions, they have lost tons of advertising due to their content policies in the Elon era, and people generally feel unsafe so a bunch of people left the platform. What is redeeming about any of that?

I’m piggybacking off of a mail server for a domain I run. My instance is small though so I’m not worried about a flood of emails.

BTW, the OP on Raddle was spamming that message around Reddit last week and directing people to Raddle. I think he has a bone to pick with the developers’ politics more than anything.

I think swapping from one API to another is not just a drop in replacement; it might be easier to start fresh from the ground up.

Disclaimer: I am not a developer so I honestly don’t actually know

My question is. Isn’t all of this true regardless of whether people block them or not? Meta still has a huge audience and they could still do everything you outlined here.

The lack of image uploading in Lemmy via Yunohost was a deal breaker for me unfortunately. I am just slightly tech savvy and I found the ansible instructions easy enough to follow. I wrote a guide here in case anyone is interested: https://novakeith.net/2023/06/14/setting-up-lemmy-on-a-digital-ocean-droplet/

But on the whole, Yunohost is great for me for trying new apps and getting a feel for them. If I need more flexibility or don’t want the overhead, I take what I learned and usually figure out how to install <x> app on a separate VM
