  • I agree with a lot of this sentiment. My goal is to try to “be the change I want to see in the world”.

    So I occasionally challenge the dumb group think I see on here. Sometimes it well received but not always.

    One thing Ive noticed is how reactionary and un-nuanced a lot of posts are. I guess it makes sense since a majority of the users here self-selected to leave a site in protest. There is a bias towards being “reactionary”.

    But the vibe feels off on Lemmy and I can’t put my finger on exactly why, but I certainly don’t feel like a lot of my people are here. Don’t get me wrong, I love hearing different opinions and viewpoints but the way a lot of them are presented here feel very “well ackshually!” or sanctimonious. It’s less like that on mastodon, but still there. Maybe less “fun” and hearted. It’s almost too serious, but even the less serious stuff isn’t as fun/funny.

    Hacker news feels better. Almost reminds me of old school reddit or even forums.

    I think the fediverse and Lemmy would have been better if it was designed where each “subreddit”/channel was an instance. Basically federate the small communities but don’t make a bunch of small “reddits” where it’s fragmented and watered down.

    There could be hubs with curated channels or apps that let you curate channels but each channel is effectively independent.

    Anyway, I don’t know that that would even fix the vibe problem with the fediverse but I think it would help communities grow, evolve, and mature better.

    Wait so people got butthurt that a company made a deal with nix. That company also does business with ICE. And people are mad at Nix?

    What am I missing?

    Also companies and open source entities do business with all manner of government(s) all the time.

    “rocinante” for my proxmox host.

    “awkward, past his prime, and engaged in a task beyond his capacities.” From don Quixote’s wiki page.

    It seemed fitting considering it is a server built from old PC parts…engaged in tasks beyond its abilities.

    The rest of my servers (VMs moslty) are named for what they actually do/which vlan they are on (eg vm15) and aren’t fun or excitin names. But at least I know if I am on that VM it has access to that vlan(or that it’s segregated from my other networks).
