Bandario

This is really the core element people seem to be worried about. You build a community, you post a heap of content, you have charge of moderation and then suddenly your chosen instance dies, or you get banned.

I think there will eventually be a fix, but encourage everyone to remember that this, the biggest weakness of the platform is also its greatest strength. Personally I have created my communities on a different instance than the one I post on daily. It’s a larger instance and the only thing on that account are post submissions - I use lemmy.dbzer0 to browse and comment daily because I like its interface and local community the best.

It annoyed me at first, but I’ve learned to see the value in having separate yet interlinked spaces. I have also duplicated that community and some content on another instance. It has zero traffic, but I don’t trust anyone or anything these days.

I know I’m late to the party but is there any chance you can explain 196 to me?

I’m not really a big fan of this facebook meme, because I’d take the solo boat and some basic paddles any day over a large ship full of idiots with no means to propel itself.

It was fine. Thanks.

Can you please ban me for 5 days so that I know what it looks like on this platform?
