Daily thread - Mid Week, Mid Winter

Meta @aussie.zone

admins, please be aware that r/ModCoord is now recommending people migrate to the lemmyverse

Perfectly Cut Meows @lemmy.world

just relaxing and sunbathing

  • that sounds fine by me. i think i might be running around like a decapitated chicken for the rest of the month seeing what needs to be done on which instance and all that, and i'm pretty sure Gigs will keep me busy once more people land in here

  • when has the narrative ever changed away from that attitude? look at how mutahar has acted - knowing that we're doing the right thing but still throwing as much contempt into everything as he possibly can. the only times that people side with mods is when we're taking enormous damage so that general users don't cop it instead, or if there's a power-mad despot who should never have control of anything larger than a toy train

  • so what's the full specs of the machine? would building one of them and then running it at home from an NBN connection be viable, or would it lag to hell more than lemmy's world about 12 hours ago?

    btw when it's time for money, i'll put one hand up and the other into my pocket. this is the sort of thing that i would be happy to fund.

  • Aussie Bush Doofs @reddthat.com

    okay let's go

    Fire Twirling and Spinning @reddthat.com

    it's not a proper twirling session unless you have gotten at least one first-degree burn

  • yeh i suppose that's a good starting point and i'd let someone know if it was getting too clogged. i doubt that is going to happen for a few weeks at the very least tho, and by that stage i will very likely be in a position to be able to build an instance of my own

  • yes, they would be focused on the various live music scenes that they represent. i think live events would be more important for the entertainment industry than genre-focused communities which could easily be covered in other instances. being more activity-based than interest, i believe that they would benefit from a uniquely australian position

  • aww, thank you for your concern, but i'm not being troubled by the insomnia in the slightest, and i do prioritise myself immediately after my son because i need to be fit enough to be responsible for him

  • Melbourne @aussie.zone

    need another junior mod?

  • the instance that i'm typing from is being hosted in someone's cupboard with some pretty off-the-shelf parts. i'v probably got enough parts for something similar laying around my house. if instances stay to low populations and the workload is distributed amongst all of them, it's not actually stressing the system all that much at all.

    that being said, as soon as the aussie zone sysadmin asks for financial assistance, i'll be putting my hand into my pocket. again, if enough people do that then it's not much of a cost at all

  • the thing that did happen with digg that didn't happen with heaps of other websites was a negatively received UI change. people hated it.

    now, people deliberately don't use the reddit mobile app because it fucking sucks, and closing down the alternatives is a negative UI change ...

  • aye, the former mod of r/jailbait can have his cardboard castle and paper crown - let's build something better

    and the mods of r/australia can sit in the hole that they dug too

    SALUT, KANGA !!!!!! nice to meet ya
