If you’ve heard their work, and understood who wrote it, you would know that Matty Healy is not a white supremacist. He’s just a fucking idiot with a shit sense of humor. Kinda tired of people framing people as extremists when they made a few problematic remarks on a couple podcasts at worst.

Punk isn’t a genre, it’s a lifestyle. Somewhere in the 90s people, including the artists themselves, mistook it only as a musical genre.

The 1975 is punk imo, even though they dont fit the genre.

That’s exactly the issue here. We did not vote on this. (at least here in the US)

As a proud and loud member of the FOSS community, I will say this: The FOSS community is cringe as hell and people need to start going back to the root of the movement and remember that we are about CHOICE and FREEDOM.

If you’re judging somebody for using the platform of their choice, FOSS or not, you are the problem.

Check this out.

Please, no.

Thanks so much for this! Been wondering about all of the other lemmy UI options out there. I’m currently hosting old reddit and alexandrite but now I have my eyes on Photon!

Oops didn’t realize what community I was in, my b!

If OP is looking for FOSS I suggest Element for Matrix. You can screenshare on there as well.

Just share your screen on discord

Just ignore them? I don’t see your point here at all. If you don’t want to eat Taco bell, don’t eat it???

Tbh, I think this whole thing is being blown out of proportion. Part of FOSS and the internet in general is the ability to have choice over what you use and spend your time with. Just because Sync is out, doesn’t mean you can’t continue to use your FOSS apps. It just means that we now have an option for people who want to pay for a very polished experience.

You got it. Please feel free to share it around! So happy to hear it helped at least one person.

First success story!!! Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, as I’m still learning myself and really enjoy sharing what I’ve learned.

Action sports games like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, 1080, Wave Race, Steep, and more. I mentioned Steep because it’s the latest mainstream attempt but I feel like it never really found it’s footing.

That’s cool! I used to work in a bookstore but always felt like it was trying to put a price on reading. Library would feel a lot homier for me I feel. Thank you for what you do! If it weren’t for Libraries as a kid I probably would have never fallen in love with reading.

I’m at the airport right now, about to leave for a week long vacation to Hawaii! I’ve never been before so it’ll be a super fun way to celebrate my one year anniversary with my wife!

Sorry to hear about the rough times OP. From one human being to another, keep doing your best and know that there’s another human somewhere hoping you are well. Cheers.

I started on lemmy.world, then decided to learn self-hosting server infrastructure and made my own instance. Found a script that allows me to “auto-discover” all communities from given instance URLs, so I just added the instances that interest me. Boom, I have an instance with all of my favorite instances searchable and discoverable on “All”.

For those interested in the script you can find it here. Do note that you should NOT use the default settings and make sure to use an instance whitelist, otherwise it’ll pull every instance ever.

Yeah, but you’d lose out on being able to have a profile banner/photo.

Yeah pretty much.

It only pulls from communities you have subscribed to. Images aren’t duplicated per server, just text; so even if you find something nasty it’s not hosted by you and you can always delete comments from the database/block users from appearing in your instance.
