It became easy to not open Infinity once I read they were going to start charging a subscription (something I don't fault them for, per se), and I uninstalled it.
Use an ad blocking extension when performing internet searches. Most internet browsers allow a user to add extensions, including extensions that block advertisements. These ad blockers can be turned on and off within a browser to permit advertisements on certain websites while blocking advertisements on others.
Infinity was a good replacement when Sync did its redesign, which I didn't care for. Ah well. I don't blame them of course, but reddit isn't something I'm going to pay a subscription to access on a 3rd party app on my phone.
Lemmy's "block" is essentially a "mute" function, too. It makes it so that you don't see any more content from a user, but they can still make comments on your stuff.
On Lemmy, if a community on another server doesn't appear when you search for it, you can use the syntax "!communityname@server.name". Your login Lemmy server will then go out and index it and it will appear in the search a few moments later.
Is there a way to do that on kbin? I've tried every syntax for a Lemmy community that I know of and nothing seems to work.
!communityname@server.name
/c/communityname@server.name
server.name/c/communityname
@communityname@server.name
etc.
Just curious as to what everyone's using for MFA in their environments. Duo? Microsoft Authenticator? Okta? A jumble of different solutions depending on which system needed to be covered at the time and with no additional budget?
It's infuriating that we're letting these christo-fascists determine how the rest of us are allowed to live our lives. I wonder what it will take for us to reach that "Have you no sense of decency?" moment with them. But of course they don't, because that would require a conscience.
Nothing. Literally, they just need to change nothing, to do... nothing. It is their actions that are driving people away. Today as of this moment, reddit is working the same as it's done for the past several years.
Then again, I'm defintely enjoying my time here on Lemmy much more than I was at this point on reddit. This feels more like the early days of reddit, where you have more meaningful engagements. You don't show up to a thread only to find 1,000+ comments, and likely one toward the top saying the exact same words you intended to say.
Good fucking riddance. Scroll down to just past the halfway mark in the article (beginning with "At times, his on-air pronouncements drew criticism.") where it recaps everything you actually need to know about this shit human being.
All of the main servers I've seen have a no porn rule. I suppose it's only a matter of time until someone's willing to stand up their own Lemmy porn server and take on the responsibility of moderating that.
Yeah I figure no need to discriminate at this point, anyone in the field of administering any IT systems is welcome here. If Lemmy really takes off and sometime down the road there seems a need for it we might establish rules for what's appropriate to post here vs. other tech subs, but I don't see the need for that now.
Feel free to use this space for networking related posts as well. Not all of us have the fortune of being able to wear a single hat, and I know I'm just as interested in networking news & discussion as anything else in the IT space.

Always a good time to remind everyone that the FBI (rightly) recommends the use of ad blockers for security purposes while browsing the Internet:

Converso doesn't care about privacy or security!?
Officially Lemmy just calls them "communities", but I figure that you can call them "subs" because you subscribe to them.
Well, 81 vehicles stolen by the city and 350 expired tag violations. But yeah, definitely some bullshit.

And that's only for the personal OneDrive service. Business accounts are "https://YourOrg-my.sharepoint.com" for OneDrive access.

Yeah that'd be smart on their part. They're already paying for the server space and the moderation team.

Well yeah, Lemmy is to Reddit what Mastodon is to Twitter. Never cared for Twitter pre or post-Elon.

Yep, you've made it to Lemmy. The lemmy.ml server, specifically.
