      Yeah, don’t use Omarchy, not sure why anyone would need to since there are versions with more stable support and a myriad of other free options for every niche. The site lists many great reasons not to use it, that is appreciated.

      I don’t use Cloudflare but I’ll say that’s probably the hardest service for people to leave because it’s been the easiest to set up and forget.

      Now my one gripe. The People to Avoid category is a weird omelette that put together multiple lists of people and brands them all as fascists to avoid. It’s a set of massive purity test retcons that are not productive because it mixes overt bigots (Yarvin) and Silicon Valley grifters (Dorsey) with people that are living foundations of open source who are accused of odd behaviour.

      Is rms going around harassing women? Cuz the last talk I watched of him he was battling cancer. (I have read the Stallman Report, but as far as I interpret it he is just trying to make sense of normally taboo topics by writing it out, even if the way he writes it out people feel harmed or creeped out about it because it doesn’t match today’s accepted norms.) I wouldn’t ask him for dating advice but I wouldn’t hesitate to ask him for computer advice. Louis Rossman has an opinion that I believe is wrong, but not one he holds strongly enough that he would discriminate or disrespect a customer over it or let it interfere with the goals of owning goods you buy.

      Yes, question the questionable parts, but to avoid them altogether is excessive IMHO, each should be taken case-by-case.

      Everyone, without exception, is flawed in certain ways. While there are people that make their flaws their whole identity, which you should avoid, for those who don’t, you have accept to a certain degree to achieve solidarity and accomplish things bigger than themselves. That degree doesn’t have to be charitable as me, but my opinion is that lists that make it seem all equally bad is disingenuous.

    Announcing the Threadiverse Vibrancy Challenge (Sep 1-30, 2026)

    English

    This is the announcement of the Threadiverse Vibrancy Challenge!

    The Challenge - From September 1 to 30, 2026, complete each one of the categories below with a unique post or comment:

    1. (Freebie) Make a shitpost.
    2. Make a post about something other than technology or politics or a shitpost.
    3. Make a post showcasing a thing or topic you find interesting.
    4. Make a post to a community with fewer than 100 subscribers.
    5. Make a post to a community in a small instance.
    6. Make a post featuring a human-made piece of art.
    7. Make an on-topic comment to a post in a small community.
    8. Make a comment or post sharing news about a location relevant to you.
    9. Make a high-quality long form text post or comment.
    10. Post or comment a link from another part of the Fediverse.

    I came up with this to encourage a greater variety of posts and comments to niche communities, with the support from people who usually just comment occasionally and lurk.

    Participants will evaluate their own progress. If you get a score of 10/10, you will win a virtual Lemmy Gold Star, and hopefully everybody will win a noticeably more active Threadiverse in the smaller communities!

    Remember to be respectful and follow rules of the instances and communities you post to.

    Feel free to share this with your own instance. I will try to post a mid-challenge follow-up in 3 weeks and a concluding ceremony in October in [email protected]. Good luck!
