If you’ve heard their work, and understood who wrote it, you would know that Matty Healy is not a white supremacist. He’s just a fucking idiot with a shit sense of humor. Kinda tired of people framing people as extremists when they made a few problematic remarks on a couple podcasts at worst.

Punk isn’t a genre, it’s a lifestyle. Somewhere in the 90s people, including the artists themselves, mistook it only as a musical genre.

The 1975 is punk imo, even though they dont fit the genre.

Sorry, but I’m not going to listen to anybody who actively and purposely registers a .zip TLD.

As a proud and loud member of the FOSS community, I will say this: The FOSS community is cringe as hell and people need to start going back to the root of the movement and remember that we are about CHOICE and FREEDOM.

If you’re judging somebody for using the platform of their choice, FOSS or not, you are the problem.

Check this out.

Please, no.

Thanks so much for this! Been wondering about all of the other lemmy UI options out there. I’m currently hosting old reddit and alexandrite but now I have my eyes on Photon!

Just ignore them? I don’t see your point here at all. If you don’t want to eat Taco bell, don’t eat it???

Tbh, I think this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. Part of FOSS and the internet in general is the ability to have choice over what you use and spend your time with. Just because Sync is out, doesn’t mean you can’t continue to use your FOSS apps. It just means that we now have an option for people who want to pay for a very polished experience.

You got it. Please feel free to share it around! So happy to hear it helped at least one person.

First success story!!! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, as I’m still learning myself and really enjoy sharing what I’ve learned.

As long as the internet remains open, even if it’s in our own private corner, then we’ll always have a place to go, even if the place changes. If Google’s “internet DRM” ever becomes a thing, we’re completely fucked.

Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for.

Well, time to start teaching myself how to create a docker container. Forking will be no issue, but creating the container will be completely new grounds for me. Thanks for the new project idea!

I started on lemmy.world, then decided to learn self-hosting server infrastructure and made my own instance. Found a script that allows me to “auto-discover” all communities from given instance URLs, so I just added the instances that interest me. Boom, I have an instance with all of my favorite instances searchable and discoverable on “All”.

For those interested in the script you can find it here. Do note that you should NOT use the default settings and make sure to use an instance whitelist, otherwise it’ll pull every instance ever.

Well, those empty parts aren’t going to fill themselves!

Real talk tho, very impressive. Hope you have a cool set up to play them with.
