How would you say Jellyfin compares to Plex? Just today installed Plex server so definitely early enough in the process to hop to a difference media server 😁

Sounds like a really bad experience 😞
The real danger here is if , in the process of putting the PC together, you accidentally damaged something causing the problems. I once built a PC and totally forgot to put the risers between the motherboard and the case. Turned it on and FZZT.. short circuited the entire damn thing. Totally unresponsive. Somehow with incredible luck the board had some sort of protection against this and once the risers were in it turned on OK - but had that not been the case I would have totally been on the hook for the cost of the whole machine..
I sincerely hope your situation is different and you get a refund! Let us know how it goes :)
Seems a fair balance!
blocking public posts makes no sense
Don’t entirely disagree, the content is still easily visible. But it’s not about blocking content from being seen, Musky baby, it’s about blocking accounts from hurling abuse at the poster.
needs .. a stronger form of mute
For just public posts? Block feels like a fairly comprehensively strong form of mute..?
I like the idea of Downvotes. The principle was a good one but it neglected to consider that people, on the whole, don’t look at vote buttons as up vote = relevant content downvote = irrelevant (their original intention, essentially crowdsourcing moderation / content quality control). Rather they look at them as agree / disagree, like / dislike.
I’m the end I think they hurt the conversation. People can just downvote with ease instead of having to put the effort in the say something, leaving that space for those who had a strong enough drive to be snippy or nasty to full it.
Upvote only still allows a mark of quality / relevance from the community without making it so divisive.
Decentralised is also its past.
With some luck the “web 2.0” fad of siloed services will end up being a weird blip in it’s history!
Absolutely. They’re great for when you don’t need to federate and just need a place to chat and share with a given community or set of friends.
I hope more come back. I’ve recently joined https://ukretro.online/forum/ and while it’s slow going I hope it gathers up a little community there.
Forums can be great, fairly easy to manage, spaces for people to gather in a way that they control and own. Even out here in fedi we don’t (most of us) control or own the servers we’re using and running mastodon etc.. isn’t especially cheap. PHPbb needs chuff all server to run so it very very affordable to run as a personal thing.
it’s a disservice to people who do use Reddit as a resource for work or otherwise
While true, between this and the Twitter fallout I’m hoping more people are seeing the folly of making dependencies of centralised services that they do not own and have zero sway over management decisions of.
There were many people pleading with folk to stay on Twitter because of the communities they had built or the activist work they had been achieving.. but that was all built on a house of cards.
Now is the time to do the work to shift away from depending on platforms that don’t care about their users real needs & embrace a better way of being!
I appreciate I’m likely preaching to the choir here 😂
There’s apparently a plug-in for Jellyfin to do the subtitles download thing.. haven’t tried it though
