The SDF instance has been overtaken by a troll and the admins don't have the funding or bandwidth to deal with it. In the only protest I can do (to a non-profit that I deeply care about and whose mission is one of the few I've ever donated to) and delete this account and all associated content. We've used every channel of communication to make the administration of this instance aware of the troll and their multiple accounts that are active.

So, this is the end of what I've posted from this account in ~24 minutes at the time of this writing. Anything I've ever posted that you like, save it now because I'm nuking it from orbit.

Belay that order. We actually woke up the admins with badgering!

Given that Trump is likely to announce tarrifs against the EU sometime in the near future, the already increasing sentiment of avoiding American products and services is likely about to be turbocharged. I think this will cause a sizeable number of european Redditors to become interested in Lemmy again (I'm guilty of this myself).

I think we should be thinking about how best to prepare for this:

1. Do we have enough server resources to accommodate a big surge in activity? Maybe we should make a donation push, and if it hasn't been done already, we should make an application to the EU sovereign tech fund.
2. Do we have moderation resources to deal with a surge of signups, and new activity from people who might not know or respect the rules here?
3. Should we be advertising this instance on Reddit (and elsewhere) proactively now, or wait until tariffs are announced?

The PeerTube instance that I have been uploading to is no more. I think there are around 70 edits of mine that are no longer accessible. If there was a catbox link, they may still work. This represents hundreds of hours of work that I did that have simply vanished. If a link is broken, let me know and I can see if I still have the files for it. Thank you all for watching the things I've made/

President Trump on Wednesday settled a lawsuit that will require Meta to pay about $25 million, most of which will fund a presidential library, multiple outlets reportedand a source familiar confirmed to Axios.

Why it matters: Meta shut down Trump's Facebook and Instagram accounts for about two years after the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. However, since Trump's reelection, CEO Mark Zuckerberg has [cozied up](https://www.axios.com/2024/12/12/meta-trump-donation-inaugural-fund-z

The mod is okay with me opening this post: https://sopuli.xyz/comment/14240553

Hello everyone,

After a discussion on !fedigrow@lemm.ee ( https://feddit.org/post/6950586 ), a few people interested in privacy decided to reopen !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com as an alternative to !privacy@lemmy.ml .

It's also nice to have a privacy community on an instance that can be accessed via VPNs.

There is now an Actually Infuriating community on Lemmy! Post things that are beyond just mildly infuriating. It's only mildly infuriating that someone didn't make this sooner!

Hope that's allowed by the mods, seems like a good way to allow both communities to reach different audiences.

I'm not sure if people care all that much, but whenever I visit this community I can't help but notice the fairly ugly icon and banner which is clearly AI generated.

Would it be worth updating these? Heck I can make something for the community if needed

Hello everyone,

!askandroid@lemdro.id was initially created to avoid getting !android@lemdro.id to get overwhelmed.

Last week, !askandroid@lemdro.id has 4 users, so it seems like activity pretty much halted.

Should we close it and redirect to !android@lemdro.id to consolidate activity?

Hello casualuk'ers!

It seems like the sole mod of this community has been busy with life for some time and the admins have asked if anyone would like to volunteer to help out, so myself and @Flax_vert@feddit.uk have offered a hand.

We believe the core vibe of the community should be fun, relaxed, safe, and obviously, casual! Therefore we have made a minor ammendment to the rules, adding a "No Politics" rule. There's a lot of political communities across the fediverse and so we feel it would be great for people to have a space where the focus isn't politics, but just to have a bit of fun.

If you've got some great UK based political content or memes to share, then the following communities might be more suitable:

• !okmatewanker@feddit.uk
• !memes@feddit.uk
• !politicalmemes@lemmy.world

Thanks for reading!

Context

• https://lemmy.cafe/post/12146857
• https://lemmy.cafe/post/12153372

Reason why there are two communities:

• https://lemmy.ca/post/37650900

Community Rule 7. Content should match the theme of this community.

• Content should be Mildly infuriating.
• At this time we permit content that is infuriating until an infuriating community is made available.

if the subtext wasn’t obvious, this is my call for someone to consider making or promoting said community :3
