  • The amount of times I’ve told clients to change their SIM or not take their work phone abroad only to be ignored like usual, and get called on their return saying “what the hell!?” We notified them, but just like all MSPs (managed service providers) CEOs or important members will just ignore us or criticise our advice. Now he wants to blame his family who shouldn’t even have access as you mentioned. If it’s his mistake, he allowed it to happen with warning, and he gave this to a family member unsecured, surely he should be held entirely accountable?

    Nope. Politicians breaking all the rules we would get sacked for in an instant at work, or even arrested.

    Great standards for us lowly law abiding poor folk. An 11k phone bill would kill me; I guess my taxes will pay for his mistake then. I’m so confused how he doesn’t feel like he needs to pay that? I can’t figure out how in the fucking world what I’d need to say or do or think to avoid being responsible for that?

    It’s surely simple for him to figure out. Goes to show how warped morals are being protected here.






  • Do we have any user base statistics for the average age of users for Lemmy compared to the ever growing younger user base of Reddit? (Which isn’t necessarily always a bad thing, I love inclusiveness). I can’t recall being asked to put in my birthday/age when signing up. (I’m just being genuinely dumb, I would usually just look up this stuff myself but I have to rush this comment, sorry!)

    People don’t seem as flippant on Lemmy which is fortunate.

    I have generally had a better experience when it comes to interaction on here, but I do think there’s frequently degrading comments towards Reddit users, especially ones starting out and posting content directly from Reddit. I think it’s all usually well intentioned though, they’re looking for alternatives, and they wish to get involved and add content. Eventually Lemmy will become more self sufficient when it comes to unique comments or memes for example, but there’s a lot of growing pains to get there.



  • I think a good third of what I have typed or posted so far on Lemmy has never succeeded as submitting them would cause it to stop responding and never compete. Refreshing will bring the page back up and allow me comment, but it’ll not work most the time.

    Their downtime has been pretty severe… growing pains, I get it, but it’s not just that.

    After several attempts at retyping it all, then trying to copy and paste to try to post again just got to me a bit. It’s taking a lot out of me as I’m personally struggling in life to try to communicate with people, with it being flakey all the time, it’s feels like when you have to repeat yourself, then just give up.

    It’s a shame because I wanted to post in me communities, but I couldn’t. I keep seeing “View reply” on my comments, but they frequently never load or just vanish. I do wonder if they’re broken/incomplete replies.


  • Ha dude, I’m always happy to listen to people who make me go “Did they just write this for me or something?” There’s plenty of niche things people will just ignore or seem disinterested in, it’s good to look and probe around so don’t feel too disheartened or discouraged. I’ve become a recluse over the years and relent giving up on people for so long because some people merge/find their cliques, there’s no healthy way to force yourself into a group without compromising what makes you happy. I think everything you mentioned is awesome, and I feel the same way!

    Please message or something if you want! 😎

    Just because you mentioned KSP and have been having fun with SSTOs recently, feel free to join the KSP community here too! There’s people who look for these communities and probably feel put off by it being a fairly new group from the lacks a lot huge activity, but posting would help encourage and really bring people together to show their work without it being competitive or so “established”! There’s posts from people who deserve being able to discuss their work or look at others already on there, I don’t want yours or their hard effort in the game and experience to be for nothing! Doesn’t have to be anything amazing, often people’s best work are the ones they haven’t felt ready to share/post so no judging! :)

    You’re on a post discussing the potential funneling of Reddit users to Lemmy.world, yet criticize someone for potentially being a Reddit user?

    This is the first impression you’re setting for them; you’re not protecting Lemmy nor are you representing it.

    Chill dude, let it organically change if you’re tired of Reddit, a lot of people are too.
