There are a lot of features that lemmy is missing, but there’s an open source community that’s fairly active. Still learning it.
It’s a good question - we are on the Lemmy.world aggregated server currently, but I’m working on setting up a server we own to host the instance.
Anyone want to help?
Not really an option now, is it? Anymore than the notion of “you are telling people to buy a bankrupt stock” makes any sense, but there it is.
The hilarious part to me is that I was poking at an online persona that isn’t their real identity! I mean, I learned a long time ago that a sufficiently motivated bad actor can get to doxxing anyone, so you have power by being transparent to who you actually are. Your fake avatar that isn’t connected to your actual life got punched for being a jackass? And you take this personally?
I’ve got bad actors in my dm on Reddit and Twitter asking me “Does your boss at Oracle know you are active in here?!” (Yes) or “is this your official Oracle Twitter account that you are posting this shit on?!” (No, the official Oracle accounts clearly say Oracle and this is my private account and completely in line with their social media rules).
My advice to everyone is dox yourself to gain power. Anonymous voices are easy to dismiss, real people with identities vote, shop and protest more effectively. It also reduces your ability to be a complete dick to others and that’s not a bad thing.
For the record, I don’t think most of the mods there are compromised by being bought out; it’s far easier to compromise people by getting their egos aligned to your purpose.
I suspect lawsuits for financial advice fraud given their certainty.
Is there another way to frame it without violating their rules? I could not think of one…
Welcome and we see you! glad you are here.
ban hammer is a lot more effective here.
Palladium Tarnish or some other not-real person felt like they were being attacked because their online persona that isn’t them in real life started to feel like their anonymous online persona was actually real and being attacked by people on X, so the most logical thing to do is ban them on another platform.
Thanks - I’m hoping other experts step up to help run this, I have a day job that is fairly busy
Overtime, but that also is about backlinks to this Lemmy instance from posts on X and other sites.
Thanks for the corrected link and yes, I will be promoting Lemmy once I pass control to PP and team. I don’t have time to Mod nor do I want to, but want to make sure this lands well.
Being cautious, we should store DD on pastebin or a similar doc site and link to it from Lemmy.
Honestly, it has to be multiplatform going forward. This is one place, twitter is another, but we also need to use pastebin for DD that we don’t want Sparkled into oblivion
