Well everyone, it's the first week in July, and #Reddit CEO Steve Huffman is still a lying asshat who treats Redditors as voiceless resources to exploit. So, as promised, I'm off Reddit and out of r/zfs for good.
The good news is, Practical ZFS is up and running as a replacement, with more than 100 registrations in its first day online and more continuing to come in. I hope to see you there soon!
@jimsalter So, what the heck is ZFS? And why do open source projects seem to have such an aversion to saying in plain language what their project is and why you might want to use it? I'm sorry if it's very famous, but still.
@jimsalter It's worth knowing, if you haven't yet heard, that Discourse's developers are funding development of a plugin adding ActivityPub federation to Discourse. In my opinion it's not yet usable (e.g. it currently restricts post editing because federating edits isn't implemented yet), but it's under active development.
@mcdanlj that is pretty exciting! I'd love to be part of the fediverse eventually. I looked VERY hard at Lemmy/kbin/etc, but reluctantly came to the conclusion that they weren't quite ready yet.
@kazaii@jimsalter Well, also, Lemmy/Kbin are just different with different goals. No particular reason a "link aggregator" should be the best place for nuanced conversation. ☺
I've found Discourse to be a great way to support nuanced conversation and think this was an excellent choice.
I was more-so commenting that his community is a phoenix rising from the ashes of Reddit. It would be tempting for his community members to want Lemmy/Kbin -- they're probably also looking for other exiled subreddits.
Jim went with the stable and maintainable option. Sysadmin/10 .
I am on Lemmy and I am in a chat with the admin of my instance. It's slow goings. Also, the migrated communities of r/toronto , r/networking , etc. just aren't there yet.
