  • I don’t remember the last time I went to r/piracy except to check the megathread. Most of the content I came across there are low effort memes and low effort discussions but I had to check it recently to see pics of sexy pirates then I saw all the drama.

    I’m absolutely disgusted by subs whose essence supposedley is anti-corpo yet aren’t planning to moving to another platform because they love Reddit so much! Of course, some mods in r/piracy actually made the effort to get people elsewhere but a lot of the users turned out to be corporate bootlickers.

    I hope the users get charged a monthly subscription to access Reddit so they could come here to ask for modded Reddit apps.

    Anyway, I don’t really care what happens to r/piracy. There’s a copy of the megathread here and if I need help, then I’m sure the users here are much more knowledgeable.




  • ppp@lemmy.onetoAsklemmy@lemmy.mlWhy lemmy instead kbin?

    I’m torn as well. I find it easier to navigate Lemmy but Kbin’s interface feels much more polished.

    As someone who wants to self-host an instance, which would you guys recommend? I’ve been reading through the documentation for both and Lemmy seems easier to install. Does anyone have experience with both? I’m interested to know how well they scale in terms of performance.

    edit: And to add, I’m not a fan of kbin’s “microblog” and “magazine” is a strange word for “community”.















  • Debian + nginx + docker (compose).

    That’s usually enough for me. I have all my docker compose files in their respective containers in the home directory like ~/red-discordbot/docker-compose.yml.

    The only headache I’ve dealt with are permissions because I have to run docker as root and it makes a lot of messy permissions in the home directories. I’ve been trying rootless docker earlier and it’s been great so far.

    edit: I also use rclone for backups.
