I dunno man, when it comes right down to it, who are any of us really? Y’know?
Satanic Nexus - A Firefish instance for atheistic Satanism
Keyoxide - ID proof
Mullem - a Firefox Add On for Lemmy.

American liberals would be Tories in the UK.
I think between those 5, there’s not a country on the planet that hasn’t been infiltrated.
Both to the instance I’m on, because hosting and bandwidth costs money and to the Lemmy software devs because I’d like them to be able to concentrate on developing Lemmy.
It’s my absolute favourite book series ever. I kept putting it off and putting it off as I thought - Napoleonic Wars, sailing ships, nah - but they blew me away from book 1.
There are solid rumours that a script is being written to launch the series as a movie universe. To be honest though, there’s so much detail in each book I think each book would work better as a TV season.
Master & Commander.
I’m accessing via alexandrite (a.lemmy.world) and having no issues at all.
I think people are forgetting that Reddit didn’t start off with communities (subs), they came later. Reddit got big the same way all sites that don’t have a built in audience (e.g. Threads users basically being Insta users) - time and commitment.
Lemmy is not going to be as big as Reddit for a long, long time. Everyone has fallen into this habit of thinking all Reddit mods are power crazy egomaniacs and some are, no doubt, but the good subs on Reddit required dedicated time and effort to build up. Curating, introducing and constantly readjusting rules and expectations and at some point a good sub reaches a tipping point and it’s popular.
All this will take time with Lemmy. Community mods will need to be as dedicated as Reddit mods were. And, as a side issue, this commitment to making and keeping a community great is what spez and his idiot gremlins have just thrown away. It’s not about user numbers for Reddit, it’s now a priority for them to get mods who are willing and able to put in the amount of work the mods they just alienated had. Subreddit engagement stats are mostly going down take a look at the number of posts and the number of comments for r/askreddit, it’s a steady decline.
Lemmy might not ever get as big as Reddit but it will grow if mods stay committed and users keep posting and commenting. If that happens, that same tipping point will come.
Downvotes mean even less on a Lemmy instance than they did on Reddit. They don’t affect your ability to post to a Community, or comment on a Post or start a Community and they don’t affect your comments position in a thread.
It therefore doesn’t matter in any way if people upvote or downvote your stuff, let it go as a concern.
Or, if simply sharing an instance with left leaning people is what really bothers you, exploding heads exists.
I’m not basing my opinion on your point of view. I’m basing it on the opinion that any organisation that makes claims about strong privacy but doesn’t allow people to check their work is essentially saying ‘just trust me bro’.
No open source clients means we just have to trust all that stuff about the apps/networks privacy. That’s an odd choice for an org who claim to be dedicated to privacy, so it’s a ‘thanks but no thanks’ from me.
I feel so stupid now. I can’t believe I ever thought a good way to save on costs was to not pay executives millions of pounds in wages and bonuses every quarter. Now I realise it’s better to lower wages/hours for minimum wage staff on zero hour contracts or lay them off.
No doubt, but he’s very likely going to be the next PM. Even if the current proposed legislation doesn’t get through the Lords or get scrapped or not implemented before the Tories get booted out, he clearly sees this sort of bill as a good thing and will introduce his own.
It’s not just the Tories, Keir Starmer has already tried to get VPN’s included in the bill. Don’t kid yourself its going to be any better when Labour get in.
Apple, SIgnal, Session, WhatsApp and a few others have already said they’ll simply withdraw from the UK market if this bill goes through.
And its not messy if you have PJs on?
Mine used to be Martin Router Ping.
Probably the part between the trailers and the credits.
I use Monero to pay for online services such as VPN, hosting, domains, VPS, E2EE cloud hosting, solely because I don’t want to be on someone’s list of customers and I don’t want constant spam. Same reason I pay cash in stores and don’t have loyalty cards. Might be very slightly more pricey that way but the reward for me is no marketing teams to deal with.
Who’s that?
