Banned from lemmy.ml for suggesting spam was Russia
Saw a post saying some shitty Christian lemmy instance was spamming bullshit on one of their latest posts, I said something along the lines of “probably Russians”. Come to find out my comment was removed and I was banned… then to find out they effectively have a CCP agent running town… lol.
I’ve seen people mention they were a garbage instance, now I know why! They said I broke rule 1 … this might just be the app I’m using but they don’t even have any fucking rules to look at lmao.
Glad they did the work for me and made it easy to avoid them.

size is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
cross-posted from: feddit.org/post/37870004
reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).
the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.
another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.
size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.
we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

I'm trying to register a new domain.
I start at https://www.hetzner.com/whois/.
I enter the domain I want, then click on "Search", then "Order now".
That takes me to KonsoleH, and I see no trace of the domain I searched for.
I just get the overview of domains I already have.
I tried this 3 times now, I am lost.
After a very close look, I see what seems to be a tab or button, with no indicator that it's clickable, that says "New Order".
Can't you just take me there directly?
@CyReVolt KonsoleH seems pretty trashy, I recently tried (and succeeded!) to migrate a domain to Hetzner and it was ... not pleasant, and docs were contradictory/pointed to dead end setup pages ... something like that. Seems they have a semi finished rewrite going on
I don't the original source for this, but this says 737-6/900 can go down to -43C before fuel freezes... so they are not far from there for sure. 🤯 Brrrrrr

@ai6yr The fuel can gel, but it’s more likely condensed water freezing in the lines. They usually add a fuel additive called “Prist” which is like “Heet” for gasoline engines.
Water condensing in fuel tanks has been a very common issue in planes forever. There’s frequently a low point(s) in the system where water is regularly drained off.

I’m new to the Fediverse, and so far I’m loving it
It reminds me a little of the old internet. I like how relatively small it feels, and that people post content for the sake of the content, not to promote themselves. I haven’t found my usual corners yet, the ones I used to hang out in on older platforms, but I figure that’s just a matter of time. I’m not super nostalgic for the old internet or anything, but it’s nice to find at least a hint of something human-centered somewhere.
I hope it doesn’t fall apart and that it keeps growing.
I was skeptical when I switched to Linux, but then I ditched Windows on my dual boot for good. It was a hugely positive experience, and it really felt like freedom. I’m hoping this will be the same.
And don’t be mad at me if I act totally clueless here sometimes 'cause all that is new to me.
