  • Interesting. I’ve been running Arch/KDE for years and never saw that bug. I use Arch on almost everything.

    Steam Deck comes with kinda-Arch, I use Arch for work now, I use it on my gaming PC. The only thing that doesn’t run it is my home server because it sits in a corner and doesn’t need bleeding edge updates or the AUR.












  • I have yet to go through it all myself but from what I’ve seen of the Lemmy code it seems pretty straight forward. I doubt anything is being tracked other than what is required. Obviously your IP has to be taken down so they can route traffic to you. Username and all info you put on your profile or post. List of liked/disliked posts, subscribed or blocked communities and people, perhaps metadata of any photos or videos you upload, the package name for whatever mobile app you use, etc.

    All the code is available on GitHub for you to check out if you’d like, 80% of it is written in Rust. But I am looking through it myself to see what kind of privacy I can expect from Lemmy. It’s already ahead of Reddit though, where I couldn’t view the source code and just had to trust what the company said.

    While true, just leave your instance in that case. I left lemmy.ml cause the owner was reportedly removing and editing posts that don’t align with his political beliefs. He can do whatever the fuck he wants over there, I’m leaving. And Instances where nobody wants to hang around will die or fade into obscurity. It’s self moderating in a way based on the very nature of how Lemmy works.

    In the case of reddit, I would even return, but not with the current CEO. He will need to be replaced entirely. There are concerning rumors that he may be a pedophile based on his moderation work on /r/Jailbait and some gross tweets he made in 2010. I am unwilling to contribute in any way to a platform that may be run by a pedophile. Clear your name with hard evidence, which you can’t, or get a new CEO. I’ve also got several friends who have nuked and deleted their accounts over this as well.



  • The only message a 2 day blackout sent to the CEO of Reddit was “wait two days and everything will be normal again”. Dunno why you’d do two days only to follow it up with an indefinite shutdown. Seems like a bunch of time wasted, and more confusing to redditors who just want a feed of stuff they like, making it harder to decide if they should leave for an alternative like kbin or Lemmy.
