Yeah, I use threads like these to block users. Can’t wait for lemmy to implement user level instance blocking like mastodon has.

Edit: don’t downvote me, tell me what issue you have with this.

Haven’t checked on Beehaw in a bit, but uh, I feel like I’m missing some context here.

Yeah, they make their bridges available for self hosting if you want to go that route too! Or you can just use their service if you don’t want to mess with that (aka me lol).

Yeah, Beeper is what I use because I’m lazy. Having everything in one app so just too convenient.

Nice, some of my material is also ttrpg related so that’s especially helpful haha Thanks!

No doubt, this is the best mushroom book imo. It’s on my shelf as I type this.

It’s a terrible platform for minor authors.

Mind if I ask what a better option would be? Looking to release some work myself in the next year and was going to start looking at which options would be best.

Yeah, I’ll give that a try and see if they can increase storage per user and what I’d need to do to help with the load. I didn’t think to make the request on GitHub though, I’ll definitely check to see if anybody else made that suggestion/request and put it in if not.

That’s a good point, I’ll reach out to instance admins about that and see if that’s doable. Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah, somebody else suggested that in another reply too. I’ll give that a go and hopefully that can address my issues with the platform. Thanks!

Running my own instance unfortunately isn’t a feasible option for me at this moment in my life. I’ll be looking into that in the future when I’m in a better spot but it’s not an option for a lot of creatives. I may have the technical knowledge to run and upkeep an instance but most artists aren’t that tech savvy. So this will remain a problem for Pixelfed attracting artists even if I run my own instance.

I wanted to pursue Pixelfed as an artist and post my work there but every instance I found seemed to have a 1GB storage limit which just isn’t super viable long term. Maybe if they have a way where individuals can link their own cloud storage service or something? If the instance owners don’t want to host all that media? That’s the main thing holding me back from investing more energy into that platform for now though. I’d love to be able to get away from Instagram but for artists it’s still pretty much required for anybody who wants to find clients (especially now with Twitter what it is).

Edit: some great suggestions in the replies, I’ll follow up with instance admins and see what solutions I can find that way. As well as looking into the request on GitHub mentioned by Gabe. Thank you everyone ☺️

I guess I am wondering why not just remove the insult comments as they broke the rules instead of nuking the whole thing?

My guess is that it’s just an equation of energy input and time spent. Is it worth removing the problem comments if they keep coming back? How much time as a mod are you willing to spend removing and banning people like that? I can understand taking the approach they did. Personally, I think maybe just locking the thread would’ve been a better compromise. But I’m not a mod here nor would I want to be lol

W raised the banner saying “Mission Accomplished” what more do you want? Jeez.

We could dominate the political landscape if we did, but we don’t.

Go look at the midterms we just had, it was historic. The GOP was supposed to gain way more seats based on previous trends but Gen Z came out in droves and denied them that. There hasn’t been a midterm like that in half a century. That’s why the GOP are saying things like this, they’re scared because in 2024 even more Gen Z will be eligible to vote.

Everyone make sure you do what you can to vote, it’s crucial.

I still like the idea of forks existing though, more variety is always good (I say, typing this from FF…)

Filing that info for later, thanks!

Sync is the only app I know if that does that right now but I could be wrong.

Edit: and now I know Connect can too, there you go OP
