Prefer Linux but I like the Apple hardware so I’m giving it a try.

Actually we still can add posts and comments, but just users from our instances and the ones we federate with can see it.
I’m a little confused myself as a Lemmy.world user. I was able to leave a comment on a behaw technology forum and got upvotes on it.
This whole Japan nuclear wastewater thing going around the news has me shaking my head.
The word nuclear in general just scares people.
Email is the one thing I don’t bother self hosting.
You need to use an existing host with reputation or most of your emails will end up in junk or be outright blocked.
What’s to stop someone from just not checking the ‘bot account’ option for their bot though?
I think it’s just because this guy left a comment, the algorithm picked up the post again.
Kinda like ‘bumping’ a thread in the forum days.
This post is 2 years old lol
If they didn’t get paid by Reddit they likely sold it on the dark web.
Damn, 20k subs already!?!
I could have sworn it was 7k like 3 days ago.
Uh no, you can’t. It’s like any game with DRM.
You can’t play most games on steam without logging in at least once.
Just use TLLauncher.
OP hates Linux
Sorry OP, people who like Linux tend to have the same values this platform advertises.
It really boils down to availability. A VPS will usually be more reliable than a home network.
For 99% of personal use though a home network behind a dynamic DNS service will be more than good enough.
In a nutshell: corporate greed. The only part of the game that was live service was the paid cosmetics.
At launch, their entire idea of more ‘content’ was just visual cosmetics. If you look at their communications at the time it will all make sense.
They constantly referred to an internal ‘live service’ team separate from the rest of the game, and that team was effectively the ‘cosmetics team’.
People talk about contractors, but this was the real problem. They thought they could get away with barely adding any real content and selling tons of cosmetics.
I pay them nearly $100 a month for internet. They can get fucked if they want to dictate what legal things I do with it.
Another Pro tip:
If you really want to self host and have good internet speeds, then just use a dynamic dns service to point a domain at your home network :)
It’s free minus the power costs. Sure you won’t be able to guarantee availability but for most personal(and friends/family) use it’s more than good enough.
I say this because the reason a lot of people use VPS is because their ISP won’t give them a static IP. You don’t need a static IP.
Here’s my point though:
You follow people on twitter. If the people you follow stay on twitter, you are forced to use twitter to see what they post.
You follow topics on Reddit. If the community doesn’t leave Reddit, that’s okay. You can still find the exact same community over here or start one yourself.
That single distinction will make this platform more successful than mastodon.
Wrong.
It has a way better chance because we don’t need to rely on popular people joining for it to grow. Anyone can start a community for any topic.
I got rid of it 2 years ago for Apollo and tried it again briefly last month.
Somehow it got significantly worse, you can’t even choose how to sort your feed anymore.
The problem is a UI thing too. In wefwef for example half the time you go to post something and it says ‘error posting’, your comment actually did post. But sometimes it doesn’t.
I typically go until I see success and then delete any duplicates I left on accident.
Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.
