Stopped using them once my girlfriend and I found a hidden camera.
Sueing was much more stressful than just getting a regular hotel. Never again.

Could someone explain what I’m missing here? Seeing this for the first time and it just seems like random words.
Thank you for your effort in running this instance and also for being so transparent about the whole process.
Thank you Ruben!
It seems like the future for Lemmy is pretty bright with all these amazing apps switching over.
It’s a shame that Christian decided to not develop Apollo for Lemmy for the time being. I bet that would also convince a fair share of users to abandon ship.
What you guys over the pond really should learn sometime soon is that free speech doesn’t mean that you can spew any random vile bullshit without repercussions.
In the Fediverse those repercussions are that your audience will be limited to the instance you chose, which honestly considering the content we are talking about is really mild.
Some of the stuff I’ve seen would definitely be illegal in Germany and Austria, and trust me, we have more experience with Nazis than we ever wanted. We have laws in place to at least try to prevent the resurgence of Nazis and this also affects servers like lemmy.world that are hosted at Hetzner in Germany I believe. Not defederating from these people could cause legal repercussions for the server owner and it’s just not worth it, considering the content we are talking about.
That bot is an absolute menace. Often I come across a thread that would probably interest me, then I see 0 comments and the standard bot message and move on.
It also feels like it is really spamming those threads, which does not help the situation.
Personally, I would love to see it removed.
And at least the dev of Sync will or has already rolled out an update to explain why the app isn’t working anymore and that Sync for Lemmy is on development.
There’s no better advertisement, really.
This is important. Many people (and news outlets for that matter) consider Lemmy a product, when it really is very much an on-going early stage development effort.
It’s amazing how well everything works already, but nothing should be considered stable at this point.
The nostalgia of the right side is unreal. I kinda miss those simpler times, when all I had to worry about was a potential raid wipe in Icecrown Citadel and getting a bad grade on a math exam in high school.
That’s a hard no from me too.
Upvotes and downvotes exist to filter bad content. Anything that tracks points per user will just lead to toxic karma whoring and bots, as demonstrated by Reddit.
In my opinion, Lemmy shouldn’t turn into a Reddit clone, it should learn from Reddit’s plethora of mistakes.
I really hate the fact that every good thing that happens will get fucked up by politics and religion in one way or another.
First of all and I mean this as someone new to the platform and genuinely not aware: What first party sources do you have to support your claims? I honestly don’t care about regurgitated comments and stuff like that.
With that out if the way there’s an obvious problem with that idea: Wether you like whatever political or religous views they truly have or not, they are the people actively developing this platform.
Especially in this time where every instance is creaking under the load of new users and bug reports and feature request are at an all-time high, I wouldn’t try to mess with their donations. Developing this platform is a monumental task for a small team of devs and it seems like donations are already pretty scarce from their latest post.
Sure, over time contributions and PRs will increase, as more people get comfortable with the codebase. Still without the core team development may be seriously crippled for a long time.
The more I think about it, the more I come to the conclusion that what really made me delete my account early (I initially wanted to wait until the 30th to see how things play out) was the ridiculous number of people defending this bullshit and promoting the official Reddit app as the superior option.
Some going as far as saying 3rd party devs are leeches and scammers.
I can only tolerate so much stupidity and ignorance before I bail.
Holy fuck ist das krank.
Owning child porn in Germany is very much illegal and a fast track to jail time.
Pretty sure we are hosted on Hetzner in Germany, which makes this very problematic, especially if the admins of lemmynsfw aren’t able to properly identify illegal content right away and it spreads through the whole network.
You got it wrong unfortunately. We basically interact with a copy of the federated instance, that lives on lemmy.world. Each change or comment we make gets synced with the true instance and vice versa.
Which also means that if a single user causes for example a child porn community (I don’t care if it’s drawn or not, I don’t discriminate between pedos) to be federated, we would now be hosting child porn on Hetzner servers located in Germany and Ruud would be in pretty serious trouble.
I have a habit of using a flashlight to go to the toilet in hotels or unfamiliar places, so I don’t stub my toe or other stupid stuff when doing the nightly toilet sleep walk.
So I grab the flashlight, point it around and notice a glint from the ceiling fan. The ceiling fan didn’t have an IR remote so it didn’t make sense and yup, sure enough it was a little lens that conveniently pointed towards the bed.
Fun thing: We actually signed a waiver that the house uses cameras, since there were a view regular ones on the perimeter for security, which seemed logical. That asshole really tried to play the “but you signed that you’re okay with being filmed” card.
