I bought an ebook reader case from them and I'm pretty happy with it. To get free shipping I also included some parts for my robot vacuum and they seem fine, but haven't really tried them yet.

They dealt very neatly with customs and the products came fairly quickly. All in all, it felt like a good experience.

Au revoir l'empire!

Yes, yes. Go strengthen that BRICS block pls.

Indeed. This definitely deserves some attention and following to get archived in [email protected].

Hola. Hace caleta que no entraba a feddit, espero estén todos bien.

Saludos cordiales.

this app showed me how much i don't know from my neighbourhood. It's really fun.

it even allows you to put notes on things the app doesn't give you an edit choice by default. I let someone know a street name was outdated that way.

Before everyone came over from reddit Lemmygrad was even more extreme than it is now, and was one of the largest Lemmy instances.

This is correct. After all, setting up an instance like Lemmygrad -as an alternative places where discussing politics (especially leftist politics) outside of reddit's moderation reach- was one of the reasons Lemmy was developed in the first place. Lemmy's developers are not shy about it, they include it in the official docs.

Here they talk about this instance stand on defederation. It has some ~~vague~~ responses about this.

Edit: there are some not actually vague

if you got the booster pass you get all six waves.

There's definitely bot farming. Someone i know on Mastodon posted this yesterdar: Post in spanish

this is a translations made by google and I changed some words: "I set up an instance of Lemmy, to test a few things. I passed it on WhatsApp to a group of people, so they could look at it. I always had the federation turned off because it's a test instance and I don't want to screw anyone in other instances. I had the configuration that it sends me an email if someone asks to register. Eventually trying configurations, I ended up leaving it with open registers. Last night I got about twenty new account registrations, with names that seem to want to imitate subreddits (ragequit, yolo, hype, things like that; I don't know subreddits like that but it sounds like they might exist). And various things:

1. This instance doesn't connect to anything, nobody (apart from a group of people who reacted with total apathy to the issue) had that domain. It was not published, it was not federating. Registrations came just the same. It occurs to me that since it is lemmy. there is a bot testing that scheme with different domains.
2. Lemmy sent me an email letting me know that these people applied for registration, but I can't see the registration application anywhere, because there was no application, there was registration. And that email is turned off by default. With a Lemmy instance configured "out of the box" you wouldn't know.
3. Maybe it's me, but from the UI (at least on the phone) I can't find a way to see the list of users. I know the names from the email that came to me. The only thing I found is the search engine, and there I can search one by one.

All of this seems to me like a nightmare to moderate. And the truth is that I do not blame the instances of Lemmy at all that are blocking the instances that have open registration."

It's the most valuable for me for sure, and I love everything about it. They're back but currently restricted. I'm really curious about what is their next step.

I am just waiting on r/askhistorians. Whatever they do next I will follow.

edit: i should clarify that if they decide to stay on reddit, then probably my reddit user will become an askhistorians lurker.
