I mean, maybe it's because I'm not overly paranoid or live in the US, but this doesn't seem like a big deal at all.
As for the "drama" of them telling someone they can unfollow, it's true. It's again, not a big deal.
This screams people trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
My favorite part is when it finally becomes somewhat less overloaded, and my instance gets flooded with a bunch of posts from there filling the entirety of my front page, and the second page...
At this point, I'm begging users and the mods. Use the correct communities. This is /c/Technology, not /c/LatestRedditDrama
This community is over-run by this drama, which has multiple communities dedicated to whatever the latest crap reddit is pulling. Please use one of those instead.
Sorry I'm just frustrated as a lot of communities have become nothing but the latest reddit drama. I'm just hoping that doesn't happen with this one too.
This is great and all, but what does it have to do with /c/piracy ?
There are many other communities about whatever the latest reddit drama is, please don't let this sub become like some others that are flooded with nothing but reddit drama
I host my own matrix instance for my wife, a few friends and I. It has worked great for us. They can either use a web app, or an app on their phone.
How is this supposed to work in countries that have bandwidth caps, or slow internet connections?
It seems like every company these days wants to move everything to the cloud, but it doesn't mean it's going to happen. While something like this makes sense in some instances (like kiosks or similar maybe?) for the vast majority of use cases this is a non-starter.
Hey Mods, when are you going to rename this community to /c/TheLatestRedditNews as that's all that seems to get posted here?
I mean it's not like there aren't literally DOZENS of communities dedicated to whatever the latest crap reddit is up to so it needs to keep clogging up this community.
it sent out about 700,000 kill messages to inform other instances that it had federated with that it was going offline for good, and to delete all record of it from their databases. Around 25% of these were returned undelivered because the instances had simply dropped offline.
It's amusing that the person complaining about these instances "failing" linked to a site that itself has "failed" and is now "for sale".
There are always "the sky is falling" posts by people that feel everything they are no longer in love or becomes slightly difficult with is "failing". I don't understand why these people always think others are going to care about their opinions on the subject at all. It makes me wonder if these people yell "I'M LEAVING" every time they exit a room.
I'll believe it when I see it. It seems like things like this come up all the time and never actually go anywhere.
A friend of mine uses it to re-type emails to sound more professional. He even got a couple of others to start doing it at his workplace. A few people have started to notice one particular employee has suddenly completely changed how he talks in emails. It's very amusing, but it works extremely well for my friend.
He even pays the $20usd/m for the "premium" or whatever version. He's a C-Suite at the company so it's nothing to him to pay for the service. Other than instances like that, or simple coding (hey I need a quick bs landing page, or I need this added to whatever) it's pretty overblown for how people seem to think it works.
lemmy.world is probably overloaded.
On my instance, everything from them floods through all at once, filling my first couple of pages with hours or even days worth of stuff, then I'll get nothing from them for a while again.
