What I like about the Gadsden flag, as opposed to this one – according to how I interpret it, anyways – is that it advocates for the use of one’s voice before violence. The main symbol on the Gadsden flag is a timber rattlesnake. If you think about such a rattlesnake in nature, when you get too close to them, or provide them with a reason to feel wary, or uncomfortable they won’t immediately attack you, but will instead provide you with an auditory, nonviolent warning. It’s only when one ignores their warnings, and continues to harass the snake, or give them a reason to think that they are under immediate threat of harm that they will fight back, and will not hesitate to do so. In all other circumstances, the rattlesnake will mind it’s own business, and let you do the very same. I find this behaviour admirable of a creature, and it is, in my opinion, the true ethos of libertarianism. The Canada goose, on the other hand, won’t hesitate to harass you. they will routinely attack people just relaxing in a park. They provide little warning to someone that they find threatening, and will often choose to immediately strike out. This is not behaviour that should be emulated, or admired, in my opinion.

dd?

I subconsciously tried wiping my screen.

They’re viewable on Lemmy too!

What’s the difference between Owncast, and Peertube’s livestreaming function?

I’m not sure that there is much for actual server side support for cross posting just yet, but there is a way, at least on the web UI: if you click the two overlapping squares under you post title, it’ll open a new post with a link to the previous post and its content quoted underneath. It feels more like a work around for cross posting, but it does work.

I was referring to Rule 3 of the community:

3. Not regarding using or support for Lemmy

TL;DR: There is no singular answer to your question, imo. Essentially just run the instance transparently, reliably, and actively, and it will be attractive to people.

I’m not sure that there is one “best way” to grow an instance. An instance is essentially the fundamental governing framework for how the users interract with each other. You structure the rules around how you believe the users on your instance should interact, and those who agree with those rules will be drawn to them. Ideally, for sustainable growth in an instance, you also need reliable server infrastructure – the instance should be responsive, and have a reliable uptime. An instance’s admins must also actively moderate content. An instance with inactive moderators is not sustainable, and will quickly delve into hosting unwanted content on the instance which is undesirable for users.

This post possibly violates Rule 3 of !asklemmy@lemmy.ml.

I didn’t think that it would – I was hopeful that it might.

It appears that it is not opensource, unfortunately.

Apologies, I did not.

I haven’t verified for myself, yet, but other people in this thread who have had the same question seem to commonly be responded to with lemm.ee.

Are you joking? The extent of their thought process is essentially “I don’t like their opinions”.

Be that as it may, why should people be prevented from questioning it? Isolating people does not make them better informed. Conversation does. All that isolation accomplishes is creating echochambers --which only serves to strengthen their beliefs.

Be that as it may, the comment is rather misonformative, as it is currently written. It is evident that the main topic of conversation here is Hexbear; therefore, people scrolling through the comments are going to be expecting that all comments will be talking about Hexbear. The posted quote could very easily be interpreted as a quote from Hexbear, given the context, if read in passing by someone who doesn’t feel motivated enough to follow a link.

You do realize that you don’t need to join Lemmy.world, right? There’s plenty of other instances with different moderation policies that might suit you, or you could just make your own instance. That’s kind of the whole point of the fediverse. The reason why there’s so much contention around this post is because the people who have accounts here are somewhat stuck until account migration is added.

Only thing different is, anyone that doesn’t agree with it can literally just… Fuck off to wherever they want

Unfortunately, until account migration is added, this is not as straightforward as it may sound.

Your comment’s intent is rather dubious – why post a quote from Lemmygrad, when the original post was talking about Hexbear? I encourage you to state that your quote is from Lemmygrad within the comment itself, instead of hiding it behind a link.
