I’ve subscribed. Thanks for posting it despite the chilly reception

The preseason has just begun. We were fairly active last season with several active users. We are looking for returning and new contributors for the upcoming season.

If you play fantasy football, we’d love to have you

I agree with your assessment on their political views. I also don’t mod any communities on Lemmy or run my own instance so I don’t have to worry about trying to deal with moderating the harmful political views of admin and mods with their other users’ contributions to the network. I am just stating my opinion of not throwing the baby out with the bath water by going with the nuclear option that is defederation.

Thanks for the correction, really changes my whole point. I’m glad you caught it

Defederation shouldn’t be the first solution to problems with other instances. If they want to be overzealous and heavy handed with moderation on their site then they will lose users who want more fair and effective moderation. But if you defedate with them, then their users just get stuck on these echo chamber communities.

Defederation should be a last resort to deal with poor moderation of abusive content, not moderation that we don’t agree with.

[email protected] I have been posting a lot to try to get it active in time for the start of regular season. I found the same community on Reddit helpful in sourcing advice/consensus on certain players and such

I really think the typical Lemmy user falls into a lot of the same trappings as the typical Reddit user. It’s especially obvious on political or otherwise emotionally charged topics. In the end it doesn’t really matter if you are downvoted or not, it’s just an imaginary number.

But it’s definitely organic, not trolls or bots; just an inevitability of online spaces

Yeah google sites is not a great platform for a blog. I chose it for aesthetic reasons and not functionality for sure

I used to self host everything but nowadays I value my time too much so I have moved my data to google drive and back it up to a local hard disk periodically. Photos go to iCloud and google photos. iCloud is running my email domain (previously was google domains/gmail)

I still do run a Plex server with my shield tv pro but that’s mostly to access my TV tuner as I stream my media from google drive directly instead.

I just got tired of taking time away from my family to troubleshoot my services or just live with downtime. I did run a $5 linode to host things for awhile but eventually it just became more cost effective to just refactor things to run natively on various cloud services. I even just redesigned my personal website/blog to run on google sites

I still love to follow the self hosted community, someday I will take my data back just not right now.

I got really long winded on this one sorry. TL;DR yes it would be easier for a big company’s IT department to handle rolling their own nextcloud but larger companies also have more obligations that make it a bit more complicated. A smaller company will need less compute and storage and manhours to manage a next cloud instance and so they can get away with it if they have a great IT person/staff

An on-premises deployment is going to take more manpower to support and maintain than a cloud deployment and an organization of 200 like OP is probably going to have 5-6 IT people who are already stretched thin.

And cloud storage is definitely a cost just like on-premises but it also comes with SLAs with guaranteed uptime and has factors of scale to be able to make delivering uptime, performance, security, and updates a lot more cost effective than rolling your own nextcloud. I’m sure it can be done in a way that is cheaper than $4000 a month or whatever 200 workspace licenses cost but not without taking a shortcut. I wouldn’t run it without a dev, prod, backup and DR server and the salary to maintain those would be just as high.

I’m making assumptions based on my experience and organization’s size and making an educated guess about his friends situation. It could be totally different and they could still have capable hardware and storage from before their cloud migration. I just know that if I was in the same position I would not want to be the one in charge of rolling the company nextcloud when down time is money lost.

I wouldn’t recommend it, a company that size is going to need to guarantee uptime and performance and they are going to need a big cap-ex purchase on servers and storage networks to get it done and get enterprise support and hire staff to maintain it.

For a smaller company that already has the infrastructure to run it, it makes a bit more sense but I wouldn’t recommend it for a small company with nothing or a large company that’s already moved to cloud.

Just one man’s opinion though, I don’t know the situation.

Lemmy.ml is hosted by the maintainers and Lemmy.world is the biggest instance (because they were one of the few that didn’t restrict sign ups when Reddit API went dark) so those users are going to have the most communities.

Despite this I still am subbed to many communities on beehaw, Lemmy.world, lemmy.ml and sh.it.just.works

And I have some subbed communities on smaller instances.

But I will say that I’m thinking of starting a new community but I’ll probably do it on Lemmy.world as they have the funds and manpower to guarantee uptime

I am already paying for iCloud+ so I use their service with my domain. It gets the job done.

Humanity is all depraved, just some of us are more degenerate than others

You can’t reach self-actualization without grinding through the rest of the hierarchy. And when you get there you realize the only thing that matters is if your life was a waste for you and what other people think or do didn’t matter

Kids are the reason why I use short term rentals instead of hotel rooms. I never get them if I’m on a business trip or having a weekend with my wife alone

It’s for a church honey! NEXT!

Uhm I’m a Mac user sweaty. But yeah the rest applies lol

I use my domain name with iCloud+ mail. I self hosted the domain for almost a decade and it’s just easier paying for hosting. I have done it on both O365 and Gmail but they have both nerfed the ability to use custom domains so iCloud it is.

Doesn’t “normie” come from /b/? I don’t think I saw it used anywhere else until shitposting subs like /r/dankmemes started calling who don’t use memes correctly normies
