  • Musk says he’s unbothered by the criticism. “Frankly, I love the negative feedback on this platform,” he tweeted on July 22. “Vastly preferable to some sniffy censorship bureau!”

    What

    What censorship bureau is he talking about? A purely theoretical one (where is that coming from?) or one he’s actually had to deal with in the past?

    And of course griping, powerless plebs are better than a “censorship bureau” that can presumably force you to do or not do things by penalty of law 🙄 tell me you’re rich and powerful without telling me you’re rich and powerful.

    I would say “humiliation kink confirmed?” but this is just a guy enjoying being able to do things that other people don’t like, with no one to stop him.





  • I’ve seen a few lemmy discussions on this so far, and honestly the best option I’ve seen is to just ignore Place.

    To participate, even to advertise lemmy, we would have to engage, which is what reddit is looking for. Even then, admins will likely take the reigns and prevent any serious effort from being fruitful. There’s just not that much benefit and plenty of downside.

    It’s attention seeking behavior. Ignoring it and letting the event fall flat (or at least as flat as is in our power) would send so much more of a message than “join lemmy” or “fuck spez”.



  • All credit where credit is due, it’s an impressive project. Just some things where I’m like… “this isn’t going to stand up to significant traffic as-is”. I’ve legit considered starting a clone - not least because I’m just not as familiar with rust, yet - but that would be counterproductive to my goal of improving things.

    As far as improvements, honestly, if you’re just hosting a small instance with a small user count, you’ll probably be fine. If you start getting significant amounts of traffic, that’s where I see problems starting to arise.

    Personally, the instance I’m working on, I’m trying to build to support scaling to multiple geolocated servers (and multiple processes on each server to support traffic) with centralized database and image hosting among them. The docker setup is… not suitable for such 😅 I’d love to see how some of the bigger instances have their architectures set up, to see how much they deviate from the standard.
