These Russian characters sure are dramatic. When this is all over I hope we get some good documentaries and movies about this whole special military operation fiasco.

I’m on the fence about sticking around. I don’t see myself going back to Reddit, so I’ll probably just leave and be productive.

If anyone can keep this species alive, it’s Rasputin.

Yep, I got downvoted for suggesting that vandalizing the car was not a good plan…

Edit: I think you’re actually talking about a different thread. Lemmy needs therapy.

It absolutely is… And I’m starting to burn out of this place more everyday.

I don’t know, man. I think you could run the fediverse if you put your mind to it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m onboard with these decentralized platforms. I’m not questioning the value of this federation system, but the potential volatility of parts of it. The concept of an '‘instance’ may be old, but that seems to be a new buzzword, fit for abuse.

It feels like starting a new instance is the trendy thing to do, similar to creating some new crypto shitcoin a few years ago. Of course, nothing is guaranteed, but I would imagine more deeply rooted instances would generally offer more support and be less likely to disappear.

Would a smaller instance not be more likely to have weaker support, or more prone to shutting down and taking you with it?

Same. I love my Xperia, and never realized how much I missed the notification LED.

Seems like there’s more reason to participate here. I may end up posting more, but several of my posts returned in error. Server issues, I assume, but frustrating when I’d have to rewrite everything.

Thanks bro

Baconreader was my #1 for 10 years. I really hope it will find a new home here. (or anywhere decent).

Boost was my #2, so this Lemmy place might just work out after all.
