  • I was looking into Arch-based environment and wondered if there is an option for a scenario where you don’t have to update for a few weeks for example, because you don’t use that computer or whatever. But you still want to try the Arch configurability and wiki docs for it.

    From what you’re saying, it’s still actually all rolling release. From my (flawed? correct me) understanding it is different from Ubuntu or Fedora, where you can update an outdated OS state and it isn’t supposed to break. Possibly barring changing OS versions.



  • So far it seems that known bans (except the universal one for lemmygrad) are motivated by behavior of the users, not the contents on the instance. I hope it will stay this way. They do not have to read it, you can even hide NSFW here and it works. The other instances are not advertisers who fear NSFW the most.

    By flocking to instances doing defederation you encourage this behavior and eventually they are/will be the most happy to ban stuff inside. I am happy to comment from here anywhere, including beehaw etc. (which we still can), but won’t bother to make accounts on closed silos.

    As one user I don’t think you can “strategize” better than picking an open instance that is not overrun by trolls and vandals. I think this one is good enough?
