They should just rename the service to "Appliance Systems Service", so the acronym makes sense.

Times change, and people are slow. 'Colored people' used to be the most PC, now it's an insult. Because it could, in any old fart's brain, be either the most PC thing or an insult, you never know if the person is doing so intentionally or not, which sucks because:

• if someone uses it unintentionally and people jump on them, that just makes them bitter
• someone who is racist can use not knowing as a smoke screen
• people who are really "with it" on social issues can also be quick to blame, and low on tolerance, and high on trauma or virtue signaling.

..the divide just grows until people resolve it inside themselves.

I think this might be interesting:

• permit separate, low-traffic, highly rate-limited, auth-only servers. They would be strictly rate-limited and only accept connections from whitelisted partner servers, because they only handle auth.
• any partner server can authenticate a user and handle content for the server/auth-server pair, but only does so under certain conditions (determined by the partner - all the time, when ping api call > n seconds, or manually, for example)
• user@lemmy.world can't log in, so the client tries the list of partnered servers. user succeeds at lemmy.partner.net.
• user@lemmy.world@partner.net says.. '..something' and all other servers accept it as being from user@lemmy.world
• lemmy.world recovers,, and claims all of the @lemmy.world@partner.net posts. Partners then forget the extra stuff they've been hosting.

Be careful not to cross that line of request vs desperation.

Like on YouTube - A tasteful "don't forget to like and subscribe" is fine, but mentioning it multiple times during a video is just increasingly demanding or cringe.

Proper instruction.

It's been a little annoying. Anyways, thanks for thinking of FMHY.

TBH, paywalled content leads to a lot of people who haven't read it participating in shallow and contentious conversations based around clickbaity titles. I say keep the rule of no twitter.

Likewise.

Is liftoff homegrown?

Stellaris. Extremely long games, a lot to learn.. ..and they change it. Mechanics that worked before stop working. The bad parts are added to same become a DLC, the good parts disappear or are algal paved in DLC. Overall, it just doesn't feel worth it.

Hey there!

From the home screen, at the top shpuld be 'local@lemmy.fmhy.ml.'. You can also select 'all@lemmy.fmhy.ml'. That will show you a feed from everyone FMHY is federated with.

If two inatances you like block each other, you can get accounts on both. The entries have a 'via fmhy..' Or 'via sh.itjust.works' for whatever instances you have listed in your configuration. Long-press on instance name in configuration to delete it if you don't want it. I deleted lemmy.world, because I can just see lemmy.world stuff in 'all' via fmhy.

Technically, it's not federation, it's confederation, but we have some bad history with that word.

True. I was kinda wondering if they could just have limits. Like, take the top 3% of reddit posts for a given sub in a particular 24h period, and also could stay at or below a max of 20% of the postings on the lemmy forum.
