I guess the unstated joke is that "guerilla" is in fact pronounced like "geh-r-riya."

When I was younger, for some reason I thought it was pronounced like a large ape species.

My sense is that the article (and people in general) are dismissing the loss a little too easily. Here are my thoughts:

  • IIRC it was the #3 instance by size in the entire FV. That's not nothing, and a lot of people were no doubt impacted.
  • It was probably the most robust and resilient instance across the entire FV.
  • The site-runner was a real pro at technical matters, and notably helped other instances deal with tech issues early on.
  • The reason why the place went down, i.e. burnout and harassment across it's admin team, is something to be concerned about across the FV going forward. It's also something of an argument that for-profit social media networks (such as Reddit) have some key advantages over volunteer-based, FV-style networks.

]> I think Lemmy is supposed to have this, but I am not sure.

That was my experience as a community-founder on Lemm.ee -- that I 'owned' the community, and that it was necessary for me to transfer ownership for that to change. Also, IIRC the owner has a couple more permissions on Lemmy than the other mods.

@klu9@piefed.social, I'd suggest you could test this out by creating another acct here, assign it mod status, then compare permissions.

Shit-comment: I sometimes wonder, when ~~people~~ English-speakers pronounce the word audibly or just in their heads, do they actually visualise small bands of gorillas fighting off larger human armies? Are they making a Planet of the Apes connection? :D

Danke, mein Freund, and we seem to have some similar traits & interests. I've subscribed to your "Demos" community, and hope I can maybe contribute in future. 🤓

Okay, what think about it now?

I've put the link in the banner / description, as well as added it to the stickied 'move post.'

Happy to have you, once again! ^^

There is indeed such a post (as you should be able to see?), but the link is in the body of the post (several times), not as a direct hotlink.

The issue I've always had with the standard Lemmy software is that it allows either a hotlink or an image in the 'URL' field, but not both. Take a look if you have a minute and let me know what you think, please?

Ruh-roh. Does lemmy.cafe have a content migration feature as well?

Wonderful piece. Thanks PugJesus for the great find, and info!

Adding on, this seems to be some art By Giuseppe Rava titled: "Legio II Augusta's fortress life at Rutupiae"

Hey-yo, just trying to see if I can link your other account, followed by hopefully replying to it from my new PieFed ID:
