I email everything to myself like an old lady, and pay Google for extra storage. 🤫

Thanks for the heads up! That’s definitely something we hadn’t considered. We’ll start looking into it!

Very helpful! We are already looking into a VPN, just undecided which one to go with, so I’ll send this comment to him. Thank you!

Hey! My husband is thinking about doing something similar with his, can you share any resources you used? He’s done programming before but never with a raspberry pi, and he’s not sure where to start.

What do you mean?

What!?

Yeah, everyone knows you use Bing for porn.

More like sugar don’t kiss, amiright?

Nobody wants to kiss that dude.

I love this so much!

You have mouse shaped marshmallows?

Unfair.

A soft drink cabal dedicated to making sure we can still put poison in consumables.

The world just keeps getting weirder.

Elon Musk is just another gross white man who wants a manic pixie dream girl, minus the dreams. It’s no surprise that he doesn’t see a problem with this. He’s a textbook predator, and the whole situation with Grimes made that abundantly clear.

I hope his next venture is selling guided tours in unregulated deep sea subs.

I’m on Lemmy.world and everything seems fine? I’m so confused.

I just got the data packet I requested from my 10+ year old account. I’m going to try downloading/opening it tomorrow, and if it works (I really want to see what I was talking about 10 years ago) I’m out.

I encourage others to do the same! I’ve heard that you should nuke all your high value posts and comments by editing them to just “.” before deleting, to ensure there’s no contribution even if reddit restores the data, which is apparently something they’ve started to do.

Thank you, that’s very reassuring! I was able to go in after the fact and delete my email from my account, though I’m not sure how much good that will do. I’m definitely going to look into those, the Firefox relay in particular sounds pretty user friendly. I don’t know when I lost my tech savvy, but it’s getting harder and harder to keep up with things these days.

Speaking of which, does Lemmy remind anyone else of irc? The organized chaos has been giving me deja vu and I think I just realized why…

I’m not worried about upvotes or downvotes being seen by anyone, but I am very worried about other personal info being seen by any admins. I have a very real, very scary stalker, and if all they had to do was create an instance to see my private information…

To be clear, I know that’s not what’s currently happening, but it feels like a bit of a slippery slope when pretty much anyone can become an admin and things aren’t super secure yet.

I’m kind of regretting giving my email to sign up, now. I just don’t know enough about this stuff to know whether or not that’s a valid concern.

There were T-shirts?

Question from a noob: are you guys making new accounts for every instance? How do you keep track of that? Or are my login credentials supposed to work across instances as long as they’re federated? I went to vlemmy.net and neither of the above is working. But also there’s a button that says “support Lemmy” and Lemmy.world is where I made this account… so wouldn’t I logically be able to use the same login credentials? I’m so lost!
