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.

 

For some reason on my self hosted lemmy instance, I've managed to accumulate about 50GB worth of data inside my pictrs docker volume. I'm the only person on my instance and I've never uploaded any photos to my server other than my profile photo, profile banner, and site logo. Shouldn't all photos be hosted on other instances?

If it is not safe to simply delete the folders within the _data folder, how would I go about clearing out these files without it harming my server? Thanks in advance, as you can probably tell, I'm definitely new to self hosting my own social services. Thank you!

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

That's exactly the issue here. We did not vote on this. (at least here in the US)

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.

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!

Oops didn't realize what community I was in, my b!

If OP is looking for FOSS I suggest Element for Matrix. You can screenshare on there as well.

Just share your screen on discord

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.

 

Hello world!

Was wondering if there was a way to edit the CSS/HTML of my lemmy instance. It's my own personal instance, so I'd love to add links that would help me get around easier and really make my instance my own.

I have access to the entire server, and I know a fair bit about navigating debian and editing files and all that. I'm still a bit of a noob though and do not know where the header/footer/css/files are stored on my live instance.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

 

Seems like time and time again, Nintendo is always trying to sell games to an audience of people who do not wish to play video games. For a sequel, I figured Nintendo should focus on their core audience of Pikmin fans but it seems like they're always changing things to appeal to people who don't play games while in return alienating the people who want more sophisticated gameplay and challenges.

What are your thoughts?

I made a guide on how to go from zero to hero: Self hosting a lemmy server. All you need is an old pc, a thumb drive, and some time.

Please let me know if there are errors. This is the first draft. Thank you!!!
