My biggest concern when I first came over and had a look at Lemmy was the fact that all the main Lemmy instances had big "No Porn!" rules front and center. Porn is the lifeblood of a free internet, and the foundation of human inventiveness and drive for innovation.
Fortunately that seems to have largely been swamped by the Reddit refugees. Along with the disturbing prevalence of tankies, the second biggest concern I had when I first came over and had a look at Lemmy. Things seem to be well on track now.
There’s legal issues involving hosting, and that includes mirroring, or acting as an aggregator for, porn. Many admins simply don’t want to deal with the headache of that.
It’s fine if the fediverse is (mostly) split into sfw and nsfw sides, after all, most people had different accounts for both on reddit in the first place, and much of the rest should have.
And it’s not like admins are defederating lemmynsfw.com – they’re only blocking nsfw posts, lemmynsfw wisely has a strict “tag everything” policy. Which means that if someone wants to use their lemmynsfw account to engage in discussion on the sfw side, nothing’s stopping them, as long as it’s sfw.
I love Madeline Miller’s books set in Ancient Greece. The Song of Achilles is set during the Trojan War, and Circe explores several Greek myths through Circe’s perspective. The Song of Achilles definitely made me tear up at some points, and really made the inclusion of Patroclus and Achilles in the game Hades hit way harder for me.
Now, I haven’t finished the book, in fact I have only read maybe 30 pages so far, but Ilium by Dan Simmons could be a fit. It features a character that is tasked by a divine entity to explore the events of Homers Iliad. It is Sci-fi though and I am not sure if the book will keep this characters storyline in Greece or even under this pact.
If someone has actually read the whole book (series) please chime in!
Voat was born out of several questionable subs being banned from reddit so naturally the userbase was into very questionable things. That’s why they failed so hard
the great thing is that it has absolutely no bearing outside of that one instance. they have no control over anything that happens in lemmy.world or any other instance, if they are even exerting it over their own
If we're talking those “diet” sugarfree ones you'd better be sitting on the toilet, from what I heard, because you're probably gonna be “processing” them fast and violently...
I guess the months following July we will be able to see how the downfall of reddit goes. It could be like Digg or like Tumblr or somewhere in-between. If it does not get sold off and still somehow manages to exist I think it will just be Spez's personal cult and soapbox.
Usually in these kind of situations I fall back to sharing a OneDrive / Teams (SharePoint) folder out to the external vendor. Anyone can say that they can’t receive the encrypted email and there could be legitimately good reasons for that, but if they don’t know how to login to 365 to access a shared folder that’s on them.
If they absolutely refuse to allow you to share or email an individual vs. a distro group then I’d do it that way, but not using an “anyone with the link” share depending on the sensitivity of the information. If it’s something that isn’t as sensitive sure, but otherwise they’ll need to setup credentials with that distro group and use it to login to access the shared folder.
Mostly aesthetically, but also since Linux Mint is a very stable distro updates are usually slow and the packages it uses are often a little outdated. If you're the type of person to want to update to the newest thing as soon as it's out, then it's probably not for you.
