tried a bunch of foss panels, this ones the easiest to use and set up to be straightforward for ppl who don't host stuff, yunohost is slightly easier but I prefer how runtipi does things (docker), feels way more stable, but they've transitioned to third party repos (you can make your own), instead of mantaining their appstore, still can grab jellyfin and have it autoupdate tho

Yeah use some sort of selfhosted mediashare, imo runtipis the easiest way to get it up and running, becuase im lazy and it has a one click installer, auto uodates, backups, etc.

Deleting comments only removed your username annoyingly

idk why you're getting downvoted, I frequent less and less because it feels dead, just look at active daily and most stuff has way less comments and upvotes than a few months ago, think lemm.ee leaving could have had an impact, I almost didn't make a new account because in the back of my head I see the same thinkg happening to any instance that becomes popular.

modmails useless, they dont reply to appeals, they just have automated messages, reddit moderation being insane is why I'm here. Made an alt, posted like 5 comments to try to gain karma and start posting on subs with requirements, 5th comment got me instabanned for ban evasion because they can detect if you comment on a sub you're other account Is banned from, yet still show it to your alts and let you comment, they just instantly permaban all accounts you're logged into on your phone the second you hit submit.

The kids that dont ocassionally crash out to defend themselves are the ones ppl watch as schoolshooters like the ones that never defended themselves growing up and just simmer, the quiet ones

Want more knobs sliders and dials, ill find a reason to use them

Comebacks dont matter when you can just point at the shoes and call him broke (im not a teen anymore but come on guys lol, thats when you fit in to avoid issues or have issues, no magical way out)

he could be but hes gonna get roasted for sketchers til college probably

but we dont know whats in those vaccines lol

Antivax but do random shrooms/lsd/blow from strangers and buy their weed illegally

What do you have against e I o u and sometimes y?

People looking for alternatives are usually looking for a new place to lurk and see stuff, they see a place they have to contribute to and nope out, I inly joined post permaban, even tho I was aware beforehand, for some reason felt like a barrier

I made so many forum accounts the week I got permabanned, I think reddit had trained my brain into thinking there was no point because of potential karma requirements to do stuff

they want you see to less real comments and more of the ads made to look like comments so you read them

they had ppl spam digg exodus to reddit friendshii with digg over type shit or something

no reddit idea to come up with, they just copied digg minus some bad decisions at the time

close all registrations, become a stricter process to federate, etc. if thats ever an issue

I always forget you can just block ppl why do I argue goddamn it

no, they paid to slowly filter ppl in and avoid spam none of the money went to them it was a donation that was voted on by the donators, its literally 5$ Once it's out of alpha and the website and apps are ready it'll be open to all. They've only let in whoever asked for it out of the donators also so it's a small percentage of the donators using the platform right now, most did it to reserve a short username early im assuming

lemmy.zips the closest at general purpose and working with the lemmy apps, or piefed.zip/piefed.social with interstellar for an app (wouldnt have reccomended it a couple weeks ago but seems notifications work now on ios)
