Wait are you saying that with the example your provided your password for Lemmy would be catlemmy-Dog5? Because that’s a terrible system.

Just use a password manager and a unique, long, random generated password for every site. There’s no need or reason to know the password to anything other than your password manager and your primary email.

Porkbun is awesome. A few months ago I transferred most of my domains from Namecheap to Porkbun and I’ll be transferring the rest soon.

Namecheap are still in my top 3 after Porkbun and Cloudflare though.

I really doubt an automated database dump is going to hurt them a whole lot. However, if you’re looking to eliminate everything you’ve ever posted (and I mean everything, not just the few recent posts you see on your profile), redact.dev (possibly others too) can use that zip to find all your posts and comments and edit/delete them.

Now I’m not saying you should delete your data. I know many people believe that leaving it there benefits humanity as a whole or whatever, but if you are going to do it that’s the only effective way.

A lot of people seem to have forgotten (or maybe just weren’t around at the time) but there were tons of duplicate communities on reddit during the first years too. Over time their mods either agreed to close one and point everyone to the other or the less active ones faded away naturally.

One problematic scenario I can envision with that approach on Lemmy however is the mods of news@lemmysite1 and news@lemmysite2 agreeing to keep the first one alive, but then after a while lemmysite1 closes for whatever reason. So we’re left with news@lemmysite2 which is a ghost town. Probably not a big deal for a news community, but for something with a lot of info on a particular topic it’s not really ideal.

Haha well then it’s a good thing they’re only giving an option to turn if off and not removing it completely :)

Personally I don’t mind it as much as other people but it just feels kinda cheap. The beep makes me think of a microwave or a dishwasher, not a gaming console.

It also finally brings an option to mute the startup beep!
