Speaking of removed communities, can an admin respond to this please: https://lemmy.world/post/3165787

 

Since the lemmy.world admins here are refusing to clarify their own rules, selectively enforcing their vague rules, using communities for user counts before banning them and just being, well, spez-like, it's time to find a new home.

So far, I am liking lemmy.ml, but I still have a list I am going through.

Where are you going?

Oh, before you go, make sure to file a CCPA or GDPR data deletion request. If they are so inclined to "stay legal", they can start with those items.

Please fix Rule 1. (lemmy.world)

A shroom community was removed from lemmy.world as it was considered "illegal" content by the admins. The logic behind this is boggling, to say the least.

Marijuana is considered an illegal substance in some states in the US and is still federally illegal. /c/trees should be banned, correct?

Clown pictures of Putin are absolutely considered illegal in Russia, so that should require and immediate ban.

Freedom of speech can also be considered illegal in some places.

Incest is considered illegal so that should automatically trigger a ban on all incest porn, real or not. Hell, porn is universally taboo, so that shouldn't have any place on this instance, I guess.

You see where I am going with this? Rule 1 is a catch-all and needs clarification. Simply saying something is illegal is not quite enough. Owning and sharing pictures of shrooms is not illegal. Trading spores or mycelium is generally not illegal either.

This is not about me being salty (which I am) about the community being removed and forced to relocate. It's the odd bias that was applied to justify its removal.

Please note that I said fix Rule 1, not remove it. There are some really bad things on the internet that shouldn't use lemmy as a safe haven.

 

I have been using CentOS for years as a somewhat stable go-to for a long time, especially in business environments.

Honestly, it was a very simple fire-and-forget distro that I happen to know extremely well. However, with RH completely migrating to an Elon Musk inspired business model, it's time for a change.

While I don't have anything against Debian or Ubuntu, it was never my first choice of distro. (I'll give them another go shortly though, as the Ubuntu server distros were quite clean.) It boils down to silly things like yum instead of apt and such.

I suppose I am really asking what the most generic server-style distros are super popular these days. Any suggestions?

 

First of all, I am sure the dev is sick of my posts. I will feed him more caffeine just in case. ;)

  1. A spinner for when an external URL is loading. (Long loads just show a white screen.)
  2. "Are you sure?" buttons when exiting edit screens. I might be making things up, but can't double check because I am editing. Lulz.)
  3. A hug.

Cheers and take care!

 

"Backs out", as in, it's like the back button is randomly pressed while viewing an image zoomed and panning around it.

I thought this was just a gesture getting triggered by mistake, but I do not see the gesture arrow on the screen when this happens.

Edit: I just tried an update and reboot to no avail. Also, I just discovered that I don't need to be zoomed in to the image for this to happen. When I open an image and drag it up and let go, the pic with snap to center again and then back out of the image by itself.

 

Hello! I would like to contribute to any testing that needs to be done with Connect.

While I am a shitty developer myself, I have been working in IT Security for about 15 years and and I am fully capable of breaking applications in ways you could only dream about. ;)

My M.O. is not to be hostile or complain about broken things, but rather, dig and see if an issue is a "me" problem before I escalate to devs. (I literally do this for a living, TBH.)

If help is needed, plese let me know. If you need me to sign any NDAs or any of that jazz, let me know. If you don't need assistance like this, ignore me.

Cheers, take care, and keep up the awesome work.

 

The meme content here on Lemmy is too good. So much so, that it floods my All and Frontpage on occasion.

A feature to temporarily mute some content without fully blocking it would be awesome! My suggestion, it that when we click on a specific group ("sub"? What is the Lemmy term for a "subreddit"?) we have a quick option to mute it for a few hours.

If there is some way to do this already, I apologize for my ignorance in advance.

Cheers!
