I stayed at a Hilton in Vegas that had a TV with unchangeable inputs.

That is fucking gorgeous. I love it.

Came here for this. Good job.

Slashdot should be on that picture, goddammit.

Old Slashdotter here. I skipped Fark and Digg and went straight to Reddit. I’m very happy to be here in the Fediverse/Lemmy world now.

How’s this?

I’m leaving reddit for good, because of how the admins and owners are mistreating third party app developers, mods, and users. I’ve moved to the Fediverse, which is a much nicer place, made by users and for users. I advise any who read this to do the same.

Here are a few links to get started:

• https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/01-getting-started.html
• https://lemmy.world

Is read in one of these threads about reddit reporting deleted comments that if you white your comments and then delete it, they’ll restore the edited version when next they do that.

A good edit would be:

I’m helping!

Sign up for a VPN. That should get you around the IP ban. Big providers like windscribe have lots of nodes you can use to change your ip address.

I want to see shittywatercolors here in the fediverse!

Where are you shitty? We want your colors of water

Actually, Beehaw has blocked a bunch more than 3 instances. https://beehaw.org/instances

Yup, I left a one star review as soon as I learned about this crap. I started how I’d always used third party apps and all quitting reddit because of their bullshit. As a final touch, I left a few links to some sites for the fediverse and said that is migrated there instead

You could always just use a github repo as a wiki. It would render markdown pages in your browser, and it comes with built in version control!

I stumbled into this the other day. It’s awesome!

There’s no more barrier to spinning up one’s own email server than there has ever been. One simply needs, at a minimum, a server in the internet, a DNS domain, and know how.

A server on the internet has never been easier, thanks to cloud providers. In fact, many cloud providers will give you a working email server, so that you don’t need to do all the sysadmin things to get software like Bind or Postfix up and running. These hosting providers make it pretty simple run your own personal email server and domain.

The big providers are successful because most folks don’t want to stand up their own email server, they just want to use email. But anyone can go it, if they have the time and interest.

I am going to lodge a formal complain about GDPR violations as I do have proof of this in my emails.

This is the way.

Folks in the EU should file a GDPR complaint against reddit for every deleted post restored.

I bet someone could script that and share the code…

Rather than delete posts, I propose all rexxitors instead edit all of their posts and comments to say that they are leaving reddit for good to go to the fediverse instead. Such edits should provide links to major Fediverse sites and getting started guides, with advice for other redditors to abandon that place and join us here.
