From my collection.

I’m constantly getting down votes because of the community topic. I’m making sure that it’s not someone habitually downvoting. If it were then I would refer it to the admins. People think flipping = scalping so ancaps and others kneejerk downvote. I fixed some broken consoles this weekend and now I’m going to re-sell them, but they don’t understand that. Just like someone downvoted me for using an llm as a search engine to learn how to so something new.

Except that I wrote most of it first and had to fix problems myself because it was buggy as hell. It really only gave me the jq urI part.

You downvoted me for posting a bash script, I guess I know why now. Vote count does matter a little bit because you’re pushing someone’s post down so others can’t see it. Kind of a bummer when I’m just trying to grow a small community and share with people.

I also mod. [email protected] There’s no difference between creating a community on a big instance and hosting a small one in that regard. The costs would be the exact same. I’m taking administration into my own hands and taking that load away from them, and decentralizing which benefits users. If Lemmy.World goes down or defederates from another big instance or makes up some weird rules, then my instance isn’t affected and users have continuity even if they have to make a new account elsewhere.

The way Lemmy works that media is stored on their instance, not mine. The only thing stored on mine are posts and whatever I upload. It costs $5 a month for a cloud server. I could host from home but I don’t feel like messing with it and it’s cheaper than setting up a server.

Without users the hosting cost is very low. I suppose it could go away if something happened to me I guess. The point is that it’s a community which is completely decentralized.

Feel free to visit. [email protected] a completely independent and topic focused instance with no users. I created it so that the community would not disappear if an instance closed down or defederated from another big instance.

It does put a target on the back of any political operative using them to spread misinfo or stirring the pot. In fact it opens the door for ai bans.

Type in credentials and click “are you human” then I get “pick all objects that fit in a basket” after that it’s “please enter the code we just sent”

I just never bothered with the screws, some cables even came without them.

Some smart person at the airlines finally jumped on their chance to ban nail clippers in airports and planes. The real reason is because nasty people would clip their nails in the airport and on planes.

How can they say you need all these years experience if the exec is so young. It didn’t make any sense.

His dad worked there as an executive.

I created a new community,

[email protected]

It’s going okish, getting some hate because some people don’t understand the difference between online sellers and scalpers.

[email protected] and

[email protected]

I just launched

[email protected]

Which is not active yet, but I’m trying to post a little bit to get the ball rolling.

[email protected] and. ! [email protected] are getting regular activity, but few new subscribers.

I started [email protected] which is a place to discuss the various ways of selling things online whether it’s for personal stuff or to make a profit. Off to a bit of a rocky start as some people take issue with making money from reselling.

Yes, they’re called retail electric suppliers. Some have offers to lock in a fixed Price for a year and others have variable rates. Then you can choose to have power billed separately from delivery or not.

You’re allowed to buy electricity from a separate broker than your “power company” so they split the bill between power usage and service fees plus there’s state and local taxes.

That’s the state of things.
