Base64 works as well, there are easy encoders/decoders like this one which can work in a pinch.

You can have something like Base64 spoiler: Sm9obiBkaWVkIGluIHNlYXNvbiAyLg== which would decode to John died in season 2..

I definitely like the “toot” of noise and the gradient stroke. On the other hand the top and bottom left corners feel a bit empty as there’s a lot of stuff going on at the right mid section of the logo.

I also tried out a rounded base to avoid the parallel lines between the bottom of the base and the mascot itself, which are a lot more obvious with the border in place.

Nice! Personally I think a stroked edge (with the border being the same color as the beak) and a black eye helps in making the logo pop when scaled down amidst a sea of phone app icons.

We’re all with you!

9 year creator as well, and I was legitimately sad when I pressed that delete account button. Before running the automated removal scripts I read through each one of my posts and comments and that brought back a lot of interesting memories of a different younger me. I archived what I could and got rid of the rest.

Yes I use third party apps but it’s the whole response from /u/spez and Reddit that really made me call it quits. They’re clearly catering for the Tiktok generation and not users who genuinely want to post original content and build good communities.

You didn’t just push it to main, you also pushed confidential code to the public repo!

You definitely could, though you might be violating your ISP’s TOS (unless you’re on a business line as most residential plans disallow hosting) and you’ll likely be legally liable for the things the other person does with your connection. Home lines are also oversubscribed very heavily and you probably won’t be able to handle Kbin.social levels of traffic.

Meanwhile if you’re just planning to have a small instance there already are people home hosting Lemmy with Cloudflare; I’ve thought of that myself but don’t really have the need for that at the moment.

The boost also apparently sends the post out to your subscribers, whereas the upvote does not.

The pinnacle would probably be a dedicated Ampere server or workstation.

AFAIK Kbin runs on a single server currently. That’s why they’re looking at scaling it out to multiple machines.

How would you compare it to Matrix? I use Matrix and have never tried XMPP.
