Unpopular opinion: people new to Linux should chose or be introduced to atomic distros for their resistance against user fuckups. Whatever the fuck you do, there is ALWAYS a backup snapshot waiting to be booted.
Flathub behaves like ms store, linuxbrew like chocolatey, teach users that they no longer install apps by downloading them from web and we are golden? Oh, and system and app updates are invisible to the user, MacOS-like convenience!
Just do the same as PH and similar do? They would have a hard time shutting down whole other industry like that.
And then there is Moondrop Space Travel with an anime girl whispering to your ears.
Your wisdom teeth send their regards.
~~In lemmyverse? This thread seems to be one? :) everyone looks to be respectful so far.~~
Other than that the communities I subscribe to…
it really caught me off guard when I saw comments directly attacking Mystic without even addressing the question, I was not prepared for this shit! Like if there was some history that I missed and I just relit an old flamewar or something
EDIT: yeah I just scrolled down… nevermind my first part of this message
I start to regret that I opened my mouth
Thanks for coming here and providing your PoV.
After reading the comments on YPTB I can only say this: the f is wrong with some people… I must be living in some bubble where people can have sane reasonable discussion even if they disagree.
I understand you are trying to build communities and defend them against users with ill-intent. I don’t know what your ambitions are as far as the target size of these communities goes, but I just thought that banning users like described simply sends a bad message and, unfortunately, brings unnecessary attention to your person (especially if user does not agree or understands a reason for a ban). Forgive me for inadvertently being a part of the problem.
On the other hand, if you are right that some users made it a hobby out of downvoting all posts from your community and we both want to provide a space for it on Lemmy (on any instance), then this potentially calls for some software feature? Like joinable, discoverable but semi-private communities that don’t appear on "all" with limited voting and posting rights for non-members? I don’t know - you tell me what would be your dream scenario! But definitively I don’t believe you can have it both ways, be totally open and not exposed, especially for controversial themes.
Lastly, allow me to address you as a person. Please don’t understand me wrong as my wording might upset you but I really mean good for you. If you are going through some hardships in your life - don’t ever let the trolls see you are vulnerable. In general, the social media, be it federated or corporate, is not a good place to seek support or publicly confess intimate details of your life. If you really have to because you find that helpful, at least make a second account not used for moderation. Don’t feed the trolls.
Love.
P.S. - you can probably unban me if you are not mad at me, I promise to behave ;)
Yes, it looks similar. I wonder what is really going on here...
Guess what? I am also banned and never had I ever interacted with this community. I think this issue needs to be raised on my instance…
Aye for trial.
Where to search for these IPTV services so I know what to avoid to not accidentally break the law?
