It's been fun, but I don't have another migration left in me.

Look, this level of hate's one-sided here so I won't engage this any further in your farewell thread. I hope there's a silver lining to this and you'll find it restorative. The reply guy life beckons you.

"One sided hate"? I see you all the time in hexbear's slop thread. I keep an eye on it, because the usual suspects gossip a lot there.

"Shitload or distros and none of them work" is absolute bullshit. I've had less issues with my fedora based distro than with Windows 10

I am sorry that you are having such a hard time finding your way here. Fwiw initial migrations are common and relatively easy as you first find your way, and the vast majority of people here will tell the same story. If you want to try just one more, PieFed.zip or Lemmy.zip (run by the same people) are the usual default instances to recommend to people these days. The latter would not be direct...

"People are nicer here" is only true if you block lemmy.ml, hexbear, lemmygrad and dbzer0/anarchist.nexus.

Wait. Mods can see when you block their community? I block communities liberally because I am often on /all and just am not interested, and I had no idea literally anyone but me would know or care.

No they can't usually. I am an admin only my own instance and there is no such option.

I can buy that you were frustrated with lemmy. But the bit about how ZERO Linux distros work is just pure bait, you're on the Fediverse my dude! :-D

Also dudes account isnt even two weeks old and only has 19 comments.

Edit: Saw their feddit.org account. 1.5 yrs old and only 39 comments and two posts

I am on sh.itjust.works. We are not federated with Hexbear and this is my only account.

This is what I am talking about. I have had threads made specifically about me on MWOG about these things. Whatever you all attribute to me on hexbear ain't me. I am not on hexbear and never have been, yet this persists.

Hell yes. Tbf most of that is done already from PieFed.social. I also personally added to that a block of Lemmy.ml and I used to all the time investigate (by visiting the home instance of a post) why the comment counts looked different. I can only ever recall a single time that I regretted missing out on all that content (that one time involved Dessalines himself, who I would legit add an exception for if I could).

PieFed.zip and Lemmy.zip do an interesting thing where when you join a user-level block is automatically added for hexbear.net and lemmygrad.ml, and instructions sent to your inbox on how to remove that block. Thus for them, federation with those instances is opt-in, so that noobs won't come here and not be able to tell the difference (e.g. 3rd-party apps such as Voyager by default do not show the instance name of an account), and then quit the Threadiverse in frustration before they can figure it all out.

They are thus truly New-user friendly indeed. I am talking about the language used in the PieFed instance picker, in opposition to those instances which say that they offer a "choose your own adventure" experience. That instance picker seems broken right now - e.g. zip does not appear in it at all - but it was a fantastic idea imho to offer such a list, to meet the different needs that people have.

Now unfortunately PieFed.social's shadow-censorship of votes (even for Lemmy users) without notification as to what content has/is/will be removed make it no longer "Newbie-friendly" imho.:-( Though it does put forth significant efforts towards ensuring a "nicer" experience for its users, e.g. by outright defederation of hexbear.net, Lemmygrad.ml, and banning of certain highly-contentious accounts on dbzer0/anarchist.nexus.

Huh, then that makes the encounter this person had extra weird. Still, that's good to know, TY!

You said that Linux distros didn't work in your original comment. Also Fedora is not corporate, it is developed by the Fedora Foundation. Red Hat is only a member of it.

I never said you were logged in on that account and I know a lot of people who claim they have only one account have at least an alt. We got folks who can find out who's who.

Do you though? Please, let me know what account(s?) ya'll think I use other than this one and then:

We got folks who can find out who's who.

If they're thinking I am still another user on the Fediverse then they're pretty incompetent at finding out who is who. Otherwise it's just making idle threats.

I don't know who would cheer, you're one of the pillars of this ecosystem as far as I'm concerned and even though I don't say it enough I always appreciate your efforts in keeping so many niche subs fed with constant content. I totally get how you're feeling, and I can't blame you for being burned out. You've put in an insane amount of work over the years. I hope you find some time to rest. You...

Tankies will cheer, he was a big contributor to the TankieJerk comms which memed on and exposed them. He's also frequently posted on MeanwhileOnGrad.

Basically there are two kinds of Anarchists on the fediverse: PugJesus and fake ones.

I often defended anarchists as comrades, but I'm not one myself. Plenty of good anarchists on the Fediverse. I'm sad to leave them.

But would restricting the votes of a single user really be, in any way, a remedy to that theoretical problem? Much less restricting them now, when the issue on the Fediverse is largely not enough activity, not excessive artificial activity? And specifically targeting users that are not creating artificial activity, but simply those who are creating 'too much' activity? Rimu himself said that he...

They were voting too much? Wat? There is such a thing?
