I thought this was the university and REALLY thought tRump was going full fascist!

Until the Epstein post, I had the same question. Now, not so much.

::shudders:: hexbear…yikes!

I’ll keep an eye out for the new community!

I think both of those are perfect suggestions. Being a huge nerd with a strong moral compass, zip seemed to be one of the more similar to lemm.ee. I also heard piefed has some good policies and features!!

Thanks for the links!

You’re awesome. That sounds like a great project. What are you thinking of moving to for an instance so I can look for the community?

This instance will live on. Definitely understand the burnout and hope @sunaurus@lemm.ee and the other volunteers here stick around.

I’m sorry to hear about your health issues. I don’t know shit about dick, but if there’s some way a 10 yr sysadmin could do to help out, please let me help! I’m a big hoarder of data and don’t believe information should be gatekept or lost if it can be saved.

For posterity’s sake, please don’t abandon hope in keeping your labor of love alive!

Here here. This was a special place and I’m glad it existed and I was part of it, too. I wish the admin(s) nothing but the best and hope they stay on Lemmy as one of us reg. users!

YOU DID THIS TO US!!!

In all seriousness, I’m sorry your community is going away. What kind of stuff was it for? Radio as in AM and FM? Ham? Frequencies for radio waves? Aliens?

Let me know where you end up and I’ll subscribe! I finally convinced my wife to join Lemmy on .ee. It is unfortunate that she’ll have to pick a new instance, but I get it why the effort outweighs the benefit of running an instance.

Edit This was also my first instance after reddit. I donated a few months ago to help with what I could. I, too, will miss it. As far as instances went, this one matched my personality the closest. Censorship was light but fair. Only now do I realize that it might have been a lack of admin intervention that made that possible!

Nah you’re right. 30 might be too young!

The old adage I learned is half your age + 7.

51/2 25.5+7 32.5

Seems you would be good aiming a little low! However, no harm in meeting someone new!

The first rule of gen-x is you don’t talk about gen-x!

Installing stuff, then looking online for a way to fix an annoyance, find a script to fix a StackOverflow post that vaguely matches our issue, only to break that thing even more. Rinse and release, ad nauseum.

Switched to LibreWolf after seeing the message about Fakespot. It was a heavily used browser add-on I used almost religiously since 2020. Mozilla acquired them in 2023 and then did nothing with it, letting it die. I’m so tired of this bullshit.

As long as others (e.g. brown people) have it worse, and their tribal mindset remains fueled by rhetoric that they are right and everyone else is woke, nothing will change.

Same. Soon as the headlines had two fatal air collisions in like the same week, I was good to drive or not travel at all. Then the harassment of people by federal enforcement further solidified that decision.

Omg, I think of this a lot when thinking back at the Covid response in early 2020. I really believe that these people never mentally developed past that of a toddler. They have no object permanence, no self-control, and no emotional regulation. They aren’t satisfied with some of a thing, they need ALL of that thing.

We are being driven off a cliff by the dumbest, most immature humans to exist in the modern world.

When all the joy in life is gone, I’ll take any joke that eeks just a little bit of dopamine out of my brain.

I said the same thing recently and am currently trying TypeWise! So far it’s alright.
