I might actually end up disabling swap in the end. I wanted to update that apparently I “fixed” the problem (not sure if permanently) by turning off the pc, unplugging the PSU, and holding down the power button for 30 seconds. Normal reboots weren’t enough. I’ll take it for now.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I had understood that the content on your instance would also not be pushed to them, after defederating. The only thing you can’t stop is having that instance see your comments and posts on another instance (not your own or the one you defederated from).

I’m using Memmy, Mlem, Liftoff, Thunder and wefwef lmao

Haha, same here! I was so proud I knew what the title was referring to before reading the post. Lol

I do trust the devices on my network but I guess I’ll probably look into how to setup HTTPS.

As long as you make it clear in the sidebar, I think it’s perfectly fine IMHO

It’s not even that selfish because surprisingly you might even find a few people who like your content and subscribe! Lol

You shouldn’t grant an executable admin privileges if you’re not sure what it does.

The mistake is reading those “news” in the first place…

What about The Internet Archive? Search engines cache? Copies made by other people? etc.

This is a public platform; don’t share things you don’t want to be shared. You can’t truly expect anything being deleted forever everywhere.

I don’t understand this question. This is a public platform, there are no secret messages or info. What do you mean by privacy? Hide what from whom?

It is a good thing, objectively. But at least on Mlem there is kind of an equivalent of the karma in the profile page (comment score and post score), if you miss that. 😎

Some may interact less though if there is no karma; gamification works after all. I guess we’ll see.
