I appreciate you being as kind as you are in response to a half thought-out thought posted sporadically onto the internet. You’re giving me too much care, lol

I agree with pretty much everything people are saying, at least that which is kind. I think I probably just overcorrected when trying to account for the fact that Lemmy tends to bring in the techy type. My thought process was flawed. I don’t have much to say beyond that and an updoot, which I’ve been giving to most

Also, the edit to the post was intended as a mass reply. A lot of people are saying the same thing, so I didn’t want to reply to each individual one, nor did I want to come off as argumentative. Like I said, I agree with what most are saying

Working the TLD into the name of the site itself is a recent trend I’ve seen. I did it with my instance, and so did the hosting service I use, elest.io

Thanks! Feel free to join if you want it, too ;)

Your logo looks identical to Photon’s logo, and the UI seems very Photon-y. Inspiration or coincidence?

r1b.it ;)

Wow, 6 years? You’ve even got me beat. Wear that as a badge of honor! Like I said in another comment, bigger number better, lol

I agree. That’s part of why I made my own. I was originally a part of feddit.de and moved to feddit.org when they shut down. I was already hesitant because I could tell they were growing, but I didn’t expect them to as much as they did, lol

Honestly, any extremist slop

Oof, hate that. The freedom of speech does NOT include the freedom to oppress

Oh no way! I totally understand that :) That’s still nice to hear

Edit: I just saw how old your account was. I’m surprised you even considered it! I was hesitant on making my own instance because I had a pretty dang old account on feddit.org and bigger number better, lol

I’ve always been conflicted on LTS. As a Linux hobbyist, I’ve used bleeding-edge software for years and had very few breaks and issues, but as someone who also maintains their own instance, the added level of reassurance is nice. Do I think my stuff will break? No, thats why I use Arch/Artix on my laptop. Am I still anxious about it? Yes, that’s why I use Debian for my servers

The magic of pocket notebooks

Genuine question from a hobbyist to professionals: what’s wrong with existing Linux alternatives? I’ve done graphic design for years with things like Pixlr, Gimp, Blender, and Krita. Sure, the workflow takes some getting used to, but I’ve been able to achieve everything I’ve wanted by getting a little creative with the toolset

Can unopened. Poser…

Lactaid 🤤 The macros go crazy

I don’t wanna rent the hardware for my instance forever :(

I miss my dogs :(

For clarification: They are NOT dead. I just moved

Damn I really need to rewatch House again
