I’m not here to fuck reddit, that would be really weird tbh. I’m here to have a similar experience as reddit without supporting that crap company.
A lot of people here originate from reddit, and still have the same interests. Especially those who have experience organizing drawings on r/place.
If there’s something you want on there, go find some people and get organized!
The last time I’ve rented a Minecraft server was probably over 10 years ago, and as far as I can tell, at the time having to upload stuff through ftp was normal.
Although reading this thread has also taught me that I know nothing about how deployment works and I need to catch up on that.
What sort of things do people use RSS readers for these days?
Can you elaborate on the Germany part? I am from Germany and I tried to look this up and found nothing. The main thing I found was:
Die Rechtslage in Deutschland – Ist Spenden sammeln für private Zwecke erlaubt?
In Deutschland ist das Crowdfunding für private Zwecke erlaubt. Es gibt keinerlei gesetzliche Einschränkungen – du brauchst dir also keine Gedanken zu machen, ob du zuerst einen Verein gründen musst oder einen Gemeinnützigkeitsnachweis benötigst, um online Spenden zu sammeln.
From GoFundMe
So it sounds like you can receive private donations for anything no problem. Obviously it’s taxable but that should be obvious, and true in most places.
I didn’t even know about that, that’s really cool. I have noticed that if I come back to older posts there’s often a lot of new activity since I was there last.
One thing I love about lemmy is how easy it is to get a conversation going. On reddit it’s really easy to be buried in a thread, and if you get a response it’s often just a joke or a snarky remark. Here there’s so much genuine engagement. It reminds me of the transition from Twitter to Mastodon. I guess people who bother to make the move are more likely to be more engaged users, too.
Now I am concerned. When I say “correct me if I’m wrong”, I usually mean that literally.
I… Don’t know what this means
