I'll probably try it eventually, but I don't have high hopes since Edmund isn't involved. SMBF was awful, and this looks like a similar mess.

So far, we have a captcha on account creation now and it seems to be working (from what I've seen, anyway)

It'll be a tough balancing act though. Relatively frictionless sign-up has been great for us, and anything that deals with bots will also affect that. Whatever else we may end up doing will need to be carefully considered.

I do the opposite of taking care of mine, and they're still going strong after 20ish years. Corcoran boots are damn near indestructible. They've only been semi-retired because I've moved other boots that are nearly as tough, but much more comfortable. Specifically Red Wings for normal wear, and Ariat cowboy boots for actual work.

I don't even really think about it, I just comment if I have something to say. At worst, nobody reads it and I was shouting into the void for a minute.

But the Lemmy userbase isn't massive yet, so those week+ old posts still see more engagement than you'd think.

The first time they referred to that world as the "Apex Universe", I gave up all hope. Even if they do make a Titanfall 3, it won't be what we want.

You can buy some at the grocery store, it says "Moon Cheese" right on the damn bag! They wouldn't just lie about what they're selling

And to make matters annoying, restarting the service that causes the sorting bug can trigger some other bugs (federation errors iirc). So there isn't a "right" answer until the real fix comes.

Archive.org is also doomed, I've seen to that one personally.

If you want impressive, you have 4-6 seperate terminal windows that take up the whole screen collectively. The laymen assume you're hacking the NSA or something if they see that.

Because of federation, I just didn't think about it too hard. I clicked on Sh.itjust.works because the name made me giggle when I saw it, and signed up immediately because the first post I saw was the boss sharing server stats and being totally transparent about operations and intentions. At the time, it was one of the smaller instances that might not last.

Choosing "wrong" never seemed like a big deal, it's not hard to start fresh somewhere else if needed.
