I guess what I was trying to say is that I am not willing to take up the risk of self-hosting my code or expend the effort to make sure this is well functioning and safe.

I agree, I am not sure if I am ready to make the move myself, but I have ADHD and this post may be just the motivation I need. I am using GitHub as glorified private git server, so the move shouldn’t be too difficult. Any recommendations are welcome (thinking of codeberg at the moment)!

Aside from price, I have aspirations of open sourcing stuff this year so some issue tracking and CI/CD features would be appreciated (thought not necessary).

Edit: It seems codeberg is non-commercial, but there is a host for forgejo that seems interesting (https://gna.org/).

(I started a rant about self hosting, then realized it’s completely irrelevant but I had already written it, so continue at your own risk)

IMO self hosting is not an option unless you are a sysadmin or somehow have a tonne of relevant experience.

I used to self-host GitLab, one weekend after about a month of being off my hobby projects I tried to login and the service wasn’t available. At first, I panicked, I didn’t know when my last backup was, but it was a while. In the end, my host was performing scheduled maintenance and a few hours after GitLab was running again, but that incident was enough to scare me away from ever self-hosting anything valuable ever again.

It’s been a moment since I took the monotropism questionnaire, but I scored in the 200s.

The title makes me think that you discovered the monotropism questionnaire from the relevant video from “I am autistic, now what?”. In case you haven’t watched the video, maybe it’s a good intro.

Other than that, I am myself trying to answer the same question. For me learning about autism has helped a lot. There have been a lot of moments of “doesn’t everybody do that?” and “oh, that’s why!”.

If there are problems that lead to you taking the questionnaire, maybe it’s worth seeking guidance from a professional. Though, sometimes it’s hard to get proper help.

Regardless, if the result is true or not, it’s worth it to take a look at your day to day life, see how monotropism is affecting you and if you can make any changes that would help. For example, at some point I realized one of the reasons I was avoiding hanging the laundry out to dry is that I hate touching wet fabrics, and mentally preparing myself for it made it a lot more bearable (still icky though).

yes! I mean pathological demand avoidance, I literally forgot there is another meaning to the acronym 🤣

The secret code has been found! Everyone spread the message!

It’s like it was hit by a train!

Florida Man: Challenge accepted! It’s going to be legendary!!!

While I cannot think of a better decentralization example, the lack of source code makes me worry this solution would not satisfy the open source software (OSS) criteria.

Not true, I could set up a WordPress blog and start writing reviews. As long as it stays a niche thing I share with a couple of friends online, that “review platform” won’t be gamed or flooded by fake reviews.

My point being that closed “publishing” instances can be reliable.

Fuck, I am getting older.

I created my account during high school, now I am 25.

To be honest, I am grateful for the journey. I found Reddit when I needed it, I was spending too much time on 9gag and wanted to find something more productive to waste my time on. Reddit was, and still is, more than that.

TwoXChromosomes and gonewildstories are two subs that literally redefined my person.

I haven’t deleted my account, nor do I plan to. But, I haven’t used Reddit since my birthday on June 12th. I have been into the idea of the fediverse long before I first read about it, and I am here for the long run.

It’s time people from the north start giving climate immigration visas.

I mean look at the curves of that beach!!

stares in “12% of Greek voters choosing blatant facist parties”

For personal machines, I use rivers.

At work we use superheroes.

For hobby projects, cute 4 letter words (it’s a challenge), for example bubu and alia.

General popularity is not a good metric IMO. If I like a community, then it shouldn’t matter if a million people like or it’s only me and my cousin. If the community likes the content, I want to see it.

It’s trust between the members of a community.

However, weighted sorting is not a solution too, upvotes counts are not linear. Maybe, quantile sort?

yes! yes! yes! I have the same problem.

My suggestion is to add a view with subscriptions ordered by the selected criterion (i.e. new/active/hot/top) and below each community there is vertical list with posts from that community sorted.

This would allow see what’s up with the communities we follow and then jump in those communities if we find anything interesting.

I don’t know why, but this exchange felt of fucking romantic. Keep up the good work you amazing people!

Greek here, they were illegal immigrants. They were helpless people in a boat with a broken engine. They were people fleeing from a war. They were people that didn’t ask for help fearing pushbacks, concetration camps, and police abuse. They were people the coast guard stood and watched them die for 3 days.
