There aren't any; I might feel differently if you were a commercial enterprise, but since you're basically recreating /r/random, I'm ok with it.

Also suggest cross-posting this to !lemmy411@lemmy.ca - did for ya.

You got some good results, but locking.

Folks, I can't get reelected with all these progressives being sober.

The downside to all this federated business I'm afraid. Usually it works... sometimes it doesn't.

The home server of askanamerican is infosec.pub and that instance IS on midwest.social's list of "federated instances" here: https://midwest.social/instances

Usually when you search for a new community/magazine, YOUR instance tries to reach out to the other instance and say "hey, do you have 'askanamerican'? if so, gimme the info, Ima gonna subscribe to that, and give me the last half dozen posts to start my user(s) off until I catch up."

Sometimes this fails for whatever reason - misconfiguration, traffic, instance getting slammed with new accounts and flood of new posts, who knows. Infosec.hub isn't the largest but its not the smallest. Tho, I know the admin @jerry@infosec.pub runs several other instances of other federated platforms at various infosec domains, they're rather busy.

I'd recommend trying again in a few hours, or tomorrow.

I checked out of antiwork about the time of their TV/PR fiasco. I know the original intent of the sub was to be opposed to all work (I am oversimplifying), but it was coopted by a larger "lets make work better by calling out bad actors and bad behaviors" movement, which is what attracted me to it. Then the original mods kinda shot the movement in the foot and I stopped checking in.

Is the new /c/antiwork a return to their roots of "all work BAD, down with all work" or the larger "lets make work better" ethos?

You’re using a no true scottsman fallacy by the way

Today I learned.

I suppose what I meant is the pundits frequently hold up having their Facebook posts removed as state censorship, that this is somehow in violation of their constitutionally protected right to expression - and its not. It IS censorship by a private body in a forum completely of that private entity's control, yet they wave the word censorship around to convince others that somehow its a shadowy conspiracy by the deep state or whatever to clamp down on freedom of expression.

Will keep this here for now as its helpful and promotes Threadiverse growth at a crucial time, but locking. Discussions about intrafederated interactions, capabilities or support questions are probably better held over in !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml , or !kbinMeta@kbin.social

For sure. Already seen:

• beehaw defederating from shit.justworks an lemmy.world

Well. My 126k Reddit karma and $2.50 can buy a cup of coffee.

Its always lonely to be an early adopter. Just stick with it, help others find their way. :)

Before Digg's implosion and the first influx, Reddit was a ghost town too.

Heh. yeah. my handwriting in high school and college was so garbage I couldn't even read my own handwriting, so what good is it really?
