"userbase request"
It's accurate, though.
It just goes to show you what we can accomplish by banding together and bargaining against SDF management collectively. To that end, on behalf of the user base, I'd like to demand a one-time payment of $500 to wesker and of 500 girlcocks to myself.
Editing to add: that 2tb of space is going to go bye bye quickly as well.
It kind of feels like you're trying to threaten or pressure others into agreeing with you, or bully administration into complying.
If you want to purge your own contributions, that's your prerogative.
If you're suggesting that you will nuke active communities that you moderate if administration doesn't comply with your demands, then you're not on the right side of this either, IMO.
I'm not trying to be unempathetic, I'm just trying to be zen.
After that nonsense yesterday and an untagged furry porn community showing up on my feed today, I'm one shitpost away from blocking this instance. Most of the users seem like decent people, but I do not want to consume that content or lose my job because some nosy ass saw a thumbnail of anthropomorphic "girlcock" on my screen, I have NSFW blocked for a reason.
I have no idea what this instance's content is, as those are the only two times I've seen posts from this instance. I've seen the users about commenting, though, and ya'll seem alright.
That sounds like a worthwhile cause to me! I hope that it gets better for ya'll, as I can imagine it is even more frustrating for you if you're browsing local, and it's filled with that nonsense like it was yesterday.
I agree, this is stupid. Why should we settle for a server where the admin won't even apply updates on time or fix bugs in a timely manner. Let alone moderate their instance properly.
I barely even use this instance and I'm really only here for !sdfmc@lemmy.sdf.org, I couldn't imagine how much it would suck if this was my only account or only instance to access Lemmy from.
Edit: Glad to see they've been banned. Though it honestly doesn't really change much in my opinion if something doesn't seriously change when it comes to the instance management.
One idea I had would be that they could require accounts to have SDF emails, that would basically require people to have Validated TTY accounts, I believe social.sdf.org does this. They could also accomplish the same thing by closing registration completely and having it be solely managed via the Maint command in the TTY shell.
Yes, a validated TTY account is required for social.sdf.org
I think it very likely was, similar to how mastodon.sdf.org was largely an afterthought. I say that because that server has had many maintenance issues in the past and I've seen people complaining about it while nothing gets done. Part of the reason I joined social.sdf.org instead.
Hell they managed to keep social.sdf.org up even when there was a power outage. They clearly care about that one a lot. Not Lemmy or the general Mastodon one though. These are just an afterthought because someone at SDF thought it would be really cool to get into the Fediverse.
I'm surprised that more of their services aren't like that. I mean they should be, but for some reason they aren't.
