  • OK; understood and FULLY agree with your registration vs. others that can be gamed by a script kiddy. That question, and response, was part of the reason I chose Beehaw, too - I get it, thanks.

    I get it that hiring new moderators would take some work; and I wouldn’t suggest or support just letting anyone doso - like ME… I think I’m too new to be ‘trusted’ to doso - but it seems like you have many members of the Beehaw community that might want to help, and fit.

    Thanks - I’ll check the list of LemmyNet sites and pick the largest one - I suppose lemmy.world is the ‘WHQ’ and might best fit what I’m wanting… I prefer Beehaw, but since I’m new the LemmyNet I want to see ALL of whats going on - I want to see the influx of Reddit users… I want to see where Lemmy lacks and watch it as it continues to be developed.

    I respect ya’ll choice to defederate, I personally think you should just ask for the community to help w/ your work; regardless of how you try to slow LemmyNet down, when its more successful your jobs are going to grow exponentially. I’d prefer if you didn’t do this; and think you’d be in a better position if you simply deal with LemmyNets growth…

    Thanks for the quick reply, and I aren’t going anywhere - if welcome - but I’ll find a fully-federated LemmyNet to bridge the gap. :P



  • Hmmm; I am new to LemmyNet AND Beehaw.org; but have been falling in love with the platforms. However, I do want to see ‘all’ of LemmyNet.

    What is the lemmyworld 'open registration policy? I ask because all I needed to supply to register HERE is a username/password. ??? Isn’t that open registration?

    Second, why not allow more moderators - please don’t feel like you have to go over old stuff… I’m going to read thru some of Beehaw.org’s PAST posts that I’m sure talk about this issue - but it seems like theres a great Beehaw.org community - if yer having issue w/ moderation, hire moderators; I bet the ‘cost’ is pretty cheap.

    Last; what LemmyNet community should one join if they WANT to see the entire LemmyNet? I came aboard Beehaw.org BECAUSE I agreed w/ most of what the site stands for; but since I’m really getting into Lemmy I think I want to be where ‘everything’ is - good and bad.

    Thanks for the explanation - even if confusing for a new user.













  • Heck yea, I am a retro enthusiast. I currently have a PiBoy DMG running emulation staion and a customized version of Raspberry Pi OS w/ joycon and buttons mapped to a mouse emulation - its a nice form factor for having a portable Linux-box in the field… I still get looks when I whip out a ‘gameboy’ to do some actual work. :P

    I stick to mostly 8bit and 16bit platforms, so the Pi 4 is more than enough for me…

    I also have a few retro computer setups; of course, a C=128 for all my Commodore needs - an Apple g4 basketball w/ MacOS 9 - an antique Philco Predicta television that runs both some Python script for random vintage videos, and can serve up PONG - I retrofitted an old PONG controller w/ a Pi Pico so it feels right.

    I have a couple other machines that bring me back to the 486 MS-DOS days. :P

    Nice to know theres other folks that are into this hobby - cheers!
