Tbh the 196 drama was more fun to be here for than when I logged in on 12/30 to see Dansup had been having a meltdown for six hours straight over 3rd party apps
He's deleted everything now, as he should have. But the damage is done.

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.
Avoid AI generated content.
Avoid misinformation.
Avoid incomprehensible posts.

Moderator Guidelines
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.

Probably people complaining his app PixelFed isn't working well. I tried it yesterday and it's not ready for usage yet. Unless it was just the server I was on. But launching a social media app without dark mode is fucking dumb so low-key annoyed dansup wants to suck his own dick while blinding me.
Lemmy had the same problems, mostly solved with some indexing and caching so far. It's gonna be fun when Lemmy needs to start partitioning and tiered storage, which it absolutely will when costs start to add up. Hosting an instance isn't getting cheaper
Yep. Was talking to a friend about setting up a team speak server when their new app drops but I'm not sure what the costs would look like for a stable server. Or if I could just run it on my local server.
I mean, that kinda goes against the self hosted ethos, but it'd probably run fine on Oracle always free.
Like, I host everything on my local server, but I've got symmetrical gigabit, and all my user (family, some friends) are on my tailscale network.
If your friends are willing to use tailscale, or something like that (you can do most of what tailscale does yourself, but that involves quite a bit of work), it'd be pretty easy to host at home. There are several ways to make whatever you host reachable from the public internet, but that usually makes everything a much bigger hassle.
My power costs for my server (Ryzen 5 3600, GT710, 16 GB RAM, 10TB storage) are usually 10-15€ a month, which is worth it to me. You could do a lot with a way lower spec CPU, but that's what I had lying around.
