I am just now starting through Fallout 4. I’ve had it in my library for a while but never got around to it.

I think all of these are great requests and I'm glad to see you are speaking up. These are all key things that will need to happen to ensure the sustainability of the Lemmy instance. I'd hate to see the instance become too expensive to run or cause you to become burned out, so anything we can do as a community to help offset that will be immensely beneficial. I encourage anyone who can contribute, whether it be financially or helping with handling the load of reports or whatever to do so.

I'll admit, when it comes to mod actions...well, I'm not exactly a people person, though I do try to be friendly enough. So in that regard, I probably wouldn't be great as an instance admin.

I do come from a technical background, running enterprise infrastructure on AWS, predominantly Linux but also handling a bunch of other stuff too. Happy to help out in that regard should you have issues recruiting people into the role, or even just to help field technical questions on optimizing for cost or performance or whatever.

Also, huge props for pushing for transparency in how the instance is run, funded and all that. I think that will be helpful for building a sense of trust and community on our instance.

I would like to subscribe to Skeletor, please!

Well when the villagers inevitably forced to return to the island, I imagine the next rock to go up will effectively crush the shell. Just like crushing her legacy.

I found it absolutely baffling that there was a push to get it taught in a way that doesn’t suggest it occurred based on race. It’s not just ludicrous, but rather malicious. Once you edit out that key fact, what else gets edited out?

Somebody give this guy a goddamn phd.

I just figured OP is Australian.

That cat looks either so happy it’s hard to contain or he’s rather traumatized. Hard to guess which.

They also become more sociable when given certain recreational drugs. The more you know!

I don’t think the post has a ton of merits for reasons that have already been described. That being said, there is one potential issue that I’m surprised that hasn’t been mentioned, which is impersonation.

Say someone takes the username jimbo on an instance somewhere and becomes super popular. Then someone else decides to create the same username jimbo on a similarly named instance and tries impersonating the other user. Sure, people can look and see “oh this isn’t that other jimbo” but you would have to look and see.

Probably not a major issue, but could theoretically become one.

Well I didn’t wake up today expecting to watch a video about task manager, but here I am.
