I’m trying to selfhost some Lemmy communities just for fun :)

Buddhist, researcher, FOSS, Linux, selfhosting enthusiast, plantbased, anarchism and MLM interested.

Trying to be nice. I really dislike the Reddit style aggressive comments. If you are rude I will block and ban you.

the chances that your friends are also sold are the idea are slim honestly


Upon rereading I don’t think so but the middle part just took me three times to read it correctly. Maybe just an uncommon sentence structure for me


If you’re someone to whom AAA games and nothing but AAA games encompass your entire view of the gaming industry, you’re a lost cause.

This phrasing took me a couple reads


Oh yeah I know many live on the edge of Foshan to work in Guangzhou :)



They were fun to watch but I don’t take anything from Disney as canon except for rogue one and andor




I’m sure by Guangdong you’re thinking more Guangzhou?


Phrased that way I fully agree. You can’t imagine how much money we pay for family birthdays and other events.



Are you referring to a specific city? The city my family is in can live in very comfortably on $700 a month. That’s why I’m reluctant to agree. If you were specifically thinking of Shanghai or something that would make more sense.


That’s what I keep saying about friendica and maybe that Instagram clone. Who wants a FOSS version of Facebook?


Where are you finding dope content




China is a great place no matter your financial status :) You can survive on a lot less than the west. What is socially acceptable in someways in more open than the west too but in others less.

Great place to live and such great people


ChatGPT kind of sucks but is really fast. DeepSeek takes a second but gives really good or hilarious answers. It’s actually good at humor in English and Chinese. Love that it’s actually FOSS too


Yeah because Han superiority complex doesn’t exist right?


Well you obviously haven’t been to or lived in China for any period of time and most likely have an idealistic view of the country. Chinas a great place but being ignorant to its rampant racism is just silly. Because you’re certainly wrong. Waste of time comment.





What really is going on in the US right now? Is this worse than the first term? Why're legal people being kicked out? When is it time to really consider leave?
First term a lot of people considered leaving but frankly it didn't feel like this. Mods: I am unsure if this question goes against rule 2 or not. I mean to ask this as the general situation but of course it is political. The wording of the rule makes it unclear if politics are allowed or not... > Not offensive: at this point, we do not have the bandwidth to moderate overtly political discussions. Assume best intent and be excellent to each other.

What commonly defederated instances' communities are worth subscribing too?
Most of my original subs come from .world so I don’t know what’s worth following on .ml, lemmygrad, hexbear, etc. Maybe I could even extend this question to what communities in non major instances are worth subing too.
