I'm glad to hear it, this will make the mobile version much more usable.

It seems like a difficult thing to regulate. I hope that this can be a starting point that will be potentially expanded later as needed, but we'll see.

What's currently happening is that advertisers are pulling their ads from X/Twitter because Elon replied "This is the full truth" to a neonazi posting the Jewish question. I think if this is censorship, it's a form I agree with. What advertiser wants to be associated with nazis?

[–] TheSaneWriter 2 points 10 months ago

Fully agreed. The authoritarian institution of shareholders and CEOs makes large companies prone to arrogance and short-term decision-making, democratic control of these large companies would make the economy much healthier.

:P can also be more neutral than happy at times, which is a nuance that the emoji lacks.

And the dishwasher shredded my laundry. Stuff just isn't built to last anymore.

Thanks for all the great work, it's looking really good!

There you go, that is now an admin account.

[–] TheSaneWriter 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

The offer still stands. Just create an account on my instance and reply to this comment chain with it, and I'll make it an admin.

Gerrymandering is a bad thing in a fair democratic system with political parties that believe in democracies. When one of the parties doesn't believe in democratic principles, it is good to remove them from power, and gerrymandering towards the Democrats has that effect.

He and the Republican conference look so ridiculous that it will diminish the Republicans' election chances in 2024. Voters don't want abortion to be banned and feel iffy about January 6th, so there's a strong chance that 2024 will be dismal for Republicans.

Why is censorship the answer? Can't parents and the educational system teach children to avoid it themselves and be responsible with their internet usage? That seems like a much more holistic answer to this problem.

 

Today I will be changing how our services work for my Lemmy instance. This will let me more directly administer server resources, monitor the usage of various things, and improve the efficiency and security of my resources. During this process, the Lemmy instance will go offline. I will likely shut it off in around 15-30 minutes. Thank you all for being so patient, this will make everything better for all of us.

 

Hello everyone. Just a warning, the migration from AWS to IONOS for this instance could begin any minute so please be aware that we may be unavailable for a short time. Thank you.

 

Hello again everyone. At some point today, I will be migrating Lemmy from its current cloud stack, which uses an AWS Lightsail instance, AWS Lightsail S3 object storage, and an Amazon Reddis Postgres database, to a new cloud stack which will use an Ionos instance for both the Lemmy backend and a local Postgres database, with a Storj object storage system. When everything is ready, I will shut off the instance to allow data migration without loss. Thus, the instance may be down for a little bit while I perform this migration, but it will be back up later. I will post another announcement roughly an hour in advance, thank you for your patience.

Howdy everyone, this is just an announcement that the instance is currently running well, the server loads are acceptable and everything is working as expected, except for my email service. From what I can tell all of the endpoints are set up correctly for my email service to function, but I'm still waiting on Amazon SES production-level status so that I can send emails to unverified recipients. Pictrs, Postgres, Nginx, Lemmy, and Lemmy-UI are all working as expected though, so this instance is ready for use.

Edit: I have transitioned the email service to purelymail.com, which has allowed me to disable Postfix and not rely on Amazon or any other corporate provider for email services. As such, as of right now, this instance is fully functional.
