No. It's mostly due to personal/personnel matters.
But it's a reminder to folks to not bring that shit from reddit where you scream at mods and admins all the time. When you post flagrantly illegal shit it's their asses too (some instances have their own interpretations of these things, so learn them!)
These are often unfunded volunteers begging for donations to provide a service for the rest of us. Be grateful and don't add to their list of problem. Don't go on witch hunts, don't put mods and admins on blast because you don't like their rules (saw this yesterday), don't be an entitled ass. Appreciate what we have and make their lives easier. This whole project is a gift.
Some percentage of any population can't help but be insufferable pricks for no reason at all. Content moderation especially is a thankless, unwinnable, eternal war that really takes its toll on you over time.
That is true. It can be enjoyable in some cases but burnout is always on the horizon. Some people are unhappy with whatever decision you make and after a while their complaints start to seem petty and not worth addressing even when you probably should.
if a community cannot take legitimate criticism then its volunteers need themselves to move over too. Having volunteered places for literal decades, it’s important to not take any of shit horseshit to heart.
I think the case of of legit vs not is a case by case thing and that’s why there are mod teams. Sidenote: is it possible to message an entire mod team vs trying to find one who is online when there are questions?
hint: my modlog has shown that in some communities there are VERY thin lines. so no, I am not “part” of the problem, I am saying finding the line is sometimes … undocumented at best.
re point a: if the rules of the instance are not followed, of course mod action is legit. that guy was a douche it seems.
i think mods of nsfw instances also deserve certain praise; modding that stuff must be … ugh. especially since the instance could be on a 486 in someone’s bedroom. having ran newsgroup servers back in “the day” - turning on anything “alt.bin” was .. not advised.
i had content recently removed for “advocating violence” (iirc it was when i suggested criminal charges for all shareholders of corps who do violent things like allow death when choosing profit over people, yadda yadda.) No example of what the offending remark was and I could not find the old comment to manually review or correct or apologize. in this case I messaged a mod. no reply yet. was it a legit removal? probably certainly! was it poor “customer service” to not follow up with me? probably. does it make me confused as to what the line is there and therefore distrust that community? certainly.
anyway yeah. so the feedback loop could be improved. mods could be more human. and commenters could be less dicks all around! 😀
@flandish @LandedGentry I simply offered my site as a potential option for those losing access to the site going down. In response to this I get 50 some odd dislikes and two SYN floods.
Unlike the admin of the existing site, I DO have a thick skin having been in the game since well before Linux existed.
But the environment would be so much richer and better if everyone didn't act like 13 year olds on a testosterone rage.
Not trying to victim blame or anything, but I find it hard to believe that someone operating a low-moderation instance would truly expect people who don't like moderation to stay away.
Don't get me wrong I agree with your sentiment and dislike that behavior, but what I'm saying is that asking or expecting users not to go on witch hunts or to behave in a certain way is a fool's errand that will always lead to burnout. A more sustainable approach for admins and mods is creating space for what they want to host and not trying to control what they don't.
@tomidar teknisk mulig ta med seg en laptop fra butikken uten å gå via kassa først, men de fleste unngår det.
Viktig at regulering treffer formålet sitt, og ikke alt for mye annet, men det funker.
Og dette er samfunnsmessige problemer, ikke personlige, så personlige løsninger er ikke gode nok. Det blir litt som å si at de som ønsker å stoppe global oppvarming kan velge å ta bussen siden det ikke er noen som tvinger dem til å kjøre.
joda, sporing er et samfunnsproblem. Eller et samfunns gode... Spørsmålet er hvordan det brukes. All informasjon kan misbrukes. I visse tilfeller er det en fin ting at det er sporing på folk.
Eneste måten å unngå å gi ut informasjon er personlig. Samfunnet kan ikke stoppe det. Du må ta aktive valg selv for å hindre sporing av deg. Eller hva som skal ha sporing.
Du kan forby det med lov, men så lager de en avtale som du må si ja på, da er det godkjent 😃
@tomidar dette var virkeligheten før GDPR kom, som satte en del begrensninger for hva man kan gjøre med brukerdata. Holder ikke lenger med skjulte vilkår som selger sjela di 😛
Men jeg tenker GDPR er første steget på en lang vei. Det er ikke perfekt, men det funker. Det setter verdi på personvern og det disse tjenestene tar fra oss.
Jeg mener det neste steget er adferdssporing og målrettet markedsføring, som er et rotterace med mer og mer inngripende sporing for mindre og mindre avkastning.

Hello, I got almost for free a Lenovo laptop: CPU Intel i3 8130, 4Gb RAM. I would like to use It to learn Linux. I saw some people using Arch to learn the inside out of Linux, but I'm afraid It could be to challenging. What do you suggest? What Is the best way to learn? Thank you. Edit: First of all I thank you all for your suggestions, I think that this is what makes this community special. I installed Fedora Xfce for now and I worked all evening to male it work and customize it. I'm learning a lot already. I'll move to Arch as soon I'll feel comfortable with Fedora. Thank you all again.
I'd second this, but also add that you probably want to use something like XFCE for your desktop environment due to the amount of RAM you have: fedoraproject.org/spins
Why wouldn't an atomic distro not be for beginners?
There's no reason why a beginner wouldn't be able to use one. Maybe i's overwhelming for a power user that doesn't know linux well but for a beginner who doesn't use too much functionality it's perfect. You just use flatpak which you should also do on non atomic distros.
I suggest Linux Mint. It has GUIs for almost everything and it's very stable. With a little bit of tinkering of the services at startup, you can get Mint to run at 700 MB of RAM (as read via htop), instead of its default ~1 GB of RAM. That could be important to fit it better at 4 GB of ram with some demanding browsing.
I disagree with anyone who might suggest Fedora or Ubuntu with 4 GB of RAM. These distros require about 2+ GB of RAM to boot up, double than that of Mint.
Then there are the distros meant for older machines that use less ram, but it's a shame to use these when your laptop is fast-enough with an 8th gen cpu (comparatively to very old machines, that is).
The lowest ram usage I've seen with a full-fledge distro/DE, is XFce with endeavourOS. I load it at 490 MB of RAM (it takes 630 MB on Mint for the same layout/apps).
Basically, your challenge is the RAM, not the CPU or the drive. Use an appropriate distro for the RAM and the difficulty you want, and always be mindful to not have too many tabs/apps open at the same time.
I commented elsewhere about endeavourOS, but I have some other wisdom to pass along.
Keep good backups of your personal files, stuff you don’t want to lose, and don’t be afraid to try something new. You dont like something about how your system is running? Nuke it and install something else. Installing Linux is a cakewalk in most distros and rarely takes longer than half an hour (your mileage may vary with the low specs on the laptop)
I’ve learned a ton about Linux by trying many different distros, breaking things, fixing things, and occasionally distro hopping to see how I like a different offering.
There’s a lot of great content on YouTube that can help you learn, and reviews of various distros so you can get an idea of how things work without having to install it yourself. Have fun and don’t be afraid to fiddle with things.
I arrived at Hamburg main station, tracks 13+14 - just where over a week ago, a mentally ill German woman injured 15 in a brutal knife attack, some severely. She was stopped by two men: a young refugee from Syria and a man from Chechnya. The press quickly dropped the case.
That had not at all been the case when a similarly ill man, but a refugee, killed two in Bavaria. For weeks, up to our elections, this tragic event was heavily exploited to push anti-migrant politics.

I am looking for a distro with a customisable UI. I want the ability to change everything in the UI: like changing the window borders style, animated interface, creating transition animations. Something that can allow me to create UI from my favourite video games. I am even willing to learn a language if needed. Just don't suggest arch because I'm only interested in visuals. I don't want to spend time creating and troubleshooting other aspects of os. Also, if above requirements can be achieved with changing the desktop environment, please suggest that too. I am somewhat familiar with Linux as I used it a few years ago for some time. Back then, the games' support was lacking, so I switched back. But now with steam os and proton's contribution, games shouldn't be a hassle to run.
If you want to get into customizing UIs hard, something the likes of this
You could get started with window managers (very opiniated topic, its really up to you to decide on which you should use) and UI toolkits like - ewww - AGS - QuickShell
Also I know X11 is slowly dying but AwesomeWM fits your bill really nicely.
TL,DR: You want a cool UI? look at unixporn's top posts of all time, research an option you find good enough and go bananas on everything you need to make yourself at home.
ALSO consider posting at !unixporn@lemmy.ml so we can marvel at your fine grained setup, good luck!

Context: I tried to use the Piefed migration feature to migrate !barcelona@lemm.ee to !barcelona@piefed.social
piefed.social/c/barcelona now exists, with all the existing posts there, as well as the icon and description.
It even moved some subscribers (there are around 100 now), from what I understand those were Piefed subscribers that got automatically moved.
The one caveat is that from Lemmy instances, the community doesn't have show old posts (see lemm.ee/c/barcelona@piefed.soc…), but if you were restarting a community from scratch you wouldn't have access to your old posts anyway.
This ensure that at least the posts are transferred to a community on an active instance, which is probably the main concern for lemm.ee communities at the moment.
Disclaimer: I'm not trying to discourage people from moving to or using piefed. I understand the enthusiasm for it and utility of it. This is meant to foster discussion not hate on piefed.
Is it just me or are a lot of people just ignoring the fact that a lot of communities and people are centralizing to pretty much a single point of failure again? Wouldn't it be wise to expand the number of piefed instances to help keep things spread out there too if that's the platform you prefer?
You have to scroll 3 times to see !television@lemm.ee, the first Lemm.ee community.
Lemm.ee was already a decentralization factor from LW, but it was still tiny in terms of communities compared to LW. Moving all of the Lemm.ee communities to Piefed.social (not that it's the case anyway, I've seen communities moving elsewhere) would keep the status quo that we were all living with.
Of course ideally over time more Piefed instances emerge, and we can spread a bit more. Also, thanks to the Piefed migration feature, we'll be able to move communities much smoother (even including subscribers).

Right, I've seen pretty much that same reply already.
I think it's a chance to learn a lesson from how and why lemm.ee is shutting down. Right now I think people are risking moving the same problem somewhere else. Sure, in theory the problem gets better with time because the tools to move around are there, but that only matters if there's somewhere to move.
It would be much more encouraging to see dozens of new piefed instances being launched/advertised. I think there's a big push towards something new because it's in the right place at the right time, and I genuinely hope it's a successful project long term. I just hope the people utilizing it are willing to support it as a platform and not just as a flagship instance.

#Palestine / 12 countries condemn forced displacement of Palestinian village in occupied West Bank
Diplomatic missions from #UK, #Germany, #France and 9 other nations issued joint statement expressing solidarity with residents of Mughayir a-Deir who were forced to abandon homes due to settler violence and Israeli authorities' failure to provide protection.
As has been common practice for years, Israeli settlers established an outpost meters from a Palestinian village. The community was forced to flee after escalating violence and threats. Seven neighboring communities have already been displaced following the same pattern. Tens of thousands in Area C face "high or imminent risk" of forcible transfer.
These countries demand Israel dismantle the outpost and allow safe return. They call this a violation of international law and demand Israel respect the prohibition on forcible transfer.
**JOINT PRESS STATEMENT** **WEST BANK, JUNE 2025**
**DIPLOMATIC STATEMENT ON THE SITUATION IN MUGHAYIR A-DEIR**
The undersigned diplomatic missions express their strong solidarity with the Palestinian community of Mughayir a-Deir. The community's long-standing residents were recently forced to abandon their homes and belongings due to escalating settler violence and a prevailing climate of impunity.
Israeli settlers have established an outpost just metres from the community, which is a clear violation of international law. Mughayir a-Deir was one of the last remaining Palestinian communities in the area. Seven neighbouring communities have already been displaced amid a broader and deeply troubling pattern of violent settler attacks and a lack of protection by the Israeli authorities.
We therefore urge the Israeli authorities to dismantle the outpost immediately and to take urgent and effective measures to enable the safe return of the displaced residents. It is imperative that the community is protected from further violence and intimidation.
Mughayir a-Deir is not an isolated case—it reflects a broader pattern of displacement in Area C of the West Bank, where a coercive environment marked by repeated settler violence, movement restrictions, land confiscation, demolitions and inadequate access to essential services is making life unbearable and pushing communities to leave. Tens of thousands of Palestinians in Area C face a high or imminent risk of forcible transfer. This alarming trend gravely undermines prospects for a just and lasting peace.
We call on Israel to respect its obligations under international law, including the prohibition of forcible transfer. We also reaffirm our clear and consistent opposition to settlements, which are illegal under international law. We emphasise Israel's responsibility to protect all Palestinian communities in Area C.

@WesternDemocracies You should all face up to the fact, that your total moral abdication from the atrocities preformed by the Israeli fascists IS A SCANDAL AND AN EPIC MISTAKE, and take affirmative action that forces Israel to stop the war and the Gaza genocide, and will compel them to abide by international law and UN resolutions, but instead you all just talk cheap, and continues to profit from the war by selling armaments to the Israeli fascists...It seems that the leaders and their sycophant governments in these western socalled democracies all have a beginning twitc in their right arms! #StopTheGenocide #StopIsraeliFascism #StopTheWar #NoToFascism #FreePalestine
