Sorry about the downtime! We're back, lemmy-ui is rebuilt

I've been spending time on the instance and notice it ~~is~~ contains some extreme right wing American fascist propaganda, what is the communities' thoughts on this?

I thought it was general purpose and like sessionjams but the weird NonCredibleDefense (whatever the fuck that is), racist "white people" twitter and "meanwhileongrad" appears to be a drama community is sus as hell. What do?

Edit: I haven't made a decision and will not unilaterally make one. I am assuming discussion in good faith. If you are not vegan do not add your comments or vote.

Literally no one here is supporting Russia, the Russian government or the invasion of Ukraine. No one mentioned Russia but you, "Well" and this is fully out of scope for this instance and discussion. Russia is a right-wing fascist state that is the moral equivalent of the United States and China. I was assuming discussion in good faith but lemmy users can't help but to target each other and drive harassment campaigns through their harassment communities like tankiejerk, meanwhileongrad, fediverselore and similar. Look, I don't agree with a lot of the content they highlight, but I am not interested in silencing them or drawing attention to manipulate their votes or communities and want the same for vegans which are routinely silenced. These meta communities only serve to silence opposing viewpoints. Please note that this vegan instance doesn't host any "vegan circlejerk" style content or allow pictures of carnists to drive teasing or harassment of them either.

We are anti-war here and I stand with the working people of the world no matter what country they are in. Both the people of Russia and the people of Ukraine are victims of their governments who are using them as pawns to enrich themselves. War is a profit generation scheme by capitalists to punish working people and extract profit through their lives. Remember, the wealthy business owners and war mongers in Russia, Ukraine and the US have far more in common with each other than any of us or the people who die in their wars. Supporting military defense contractors and governments is part of this consent manufacturing that sh.itjust.works allows. Do I think the admins of sh.itjust.works are bad people? No, but I do believe they are allowing American consent manufacturers to run rampant on their instance and I wanted some feedback.

I'm going to close this thread now and believe it or not I am not in favor of defederation after this conversation. I am disheartened and deeply saddened on how it went though. Due to interference, I do not believe that I can meaningfully gauge this community.

The actor_name_max_length^[https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/8d269fc08ee0efb03c20f97b4c1075881046490d/crates/api_common/src/site.rs#L260] in the site settings has been set to 30. This can be verified by checking here: https://vegantheoryclub.org/api/v3/site

Basically this means that people can now set display names of up to 30 characters long. Before it was set to 20, which meant that things like adding pronouns to the display name would often hit the character limit and would prevent you from editing your name.

This also applies to Site, and Community,^[https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/crates/db_schema/src/source/activity.rs#L86] but that's probably not too important to mention, as community names have been fine with the limit.

Special thanks to @hamid@vegantheoryclub.org for changing these values and following my poorly explained tutorial on how to edit the site settings.

Also TIL, powershell aliases curl despite it existing as a command in Windows already.^[https://stackoverflow.com/a/66840040]

I'm not sure if there is anything bad that can happen by increasing it too much so it has gone from 21 to 30 characters

This notice is to serve as our very official and very important endorsement for president. As we all know endorsements are the most important part of the election season so we as VTC come together to endorse, Bozo the Clown for President of Clown Country!

Bozo is no ordinary clown. He’s a legend. For decades, Bozo has embodied everything Clown Country stands for: laughter, silliness, and a commitment to spreading joy. He’s the leader we deserve—the one with the experience to balance the unicycles and juggle the responsibilities that come with leading our colorful nation.

Bozo knows what will make Clown Country great again— He’s got the big shoes to fill, literally and figuratively. And let’s face it—no one wears the red nose with more pride. Whether he's riding in the tiniest car with the biggest crew or leading us in the national squirting flower competition, Bozo has always represented the very best of Clown Country.

So, honk your horns, throw on your rainbow wigs, and get ready to laugh like never before. Let’s put a true clown in charge of Clown Country. Ladies and Gentlemen, Bozo for President!

We are re-instituting the server whitelist. Please let us know servers that should be on the whitelist. I hope to have this done in the next few days.

what are your thoughts on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world?

are a few that I would put back on the whitelist at first, can you think of others

This is social media for real people. Hosting reddit tier drama communities and user targeting is toxic to social media and will not be tolerated.

Lemmy is bullshit and the people awful. At least Reddit is free, I was donating to the Lemmy developers and paying to host my own social media. I have cancelled both.

A little bit about myself: I am a real person with issues. I was lucky to be able to figure out enough masking skills to hold down a job and have a family but yeah, I'm not normal.

I'm not interested in paying to be harassed by people like "ptz" who are pretending to take a high ground or instances that host communities designed to torment people like lemmy.ca, I'm not interested in random people downvoting my posts on my server for my friends. I'm not interested in people constantly repeating US politics and propaganda. Lemmy fucking sucks, I tried my best to make it better but to be honest, I don't think it is me, it is you.

I appointed a friend as admin for the time being. If she likes it I will consider paying for the hosting.

Good bye, thanks for not fishing.

Hello Vegans!

Everyone welcome @MsSprouts@vegantheoryclub.org @Beaver@lemmy.ca @veganpizza69@lemmy.world @gredo@lemmy.world @veganmod@lemmy.world @iiGxC@slrpnk.net @naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com who have all graciously volunteered to help mod the !vegan@vegantheoryclub.org community. Thanks for helping out!

I resolved an issue with my web application filter blocking many Fediverse bots and services and figured out that I should have a blank allow list to allow everyone. I'm not aware of any pending issues and this resolves my issue getting listed in fediseer and fedidb.

Lastly I reenabled downvotes. If it sucks I will turn it off again.

Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club!

This is a link sharing site for vegan things. We have open registration if you want to create an account and log in.

We host four communities which are like "subreddits"

1. Vegan Home Cooks
2. Vegan Recipes
3. Gardening
4. Vegan

The communities are here to help share links and photos for vegans by vegans.

Vegan Home Cooks is a site for a discord server called Vegan Home Cooks Discord. This is a low-friction post-what-you-cooked community so we can share what we made today and talk about it, no recipes required. We want to provide motivation and encouragement for each other and show off what we made today.

Vegan Recipes is focused on how to cook and links to recipe sites.

Gardening is focused on our gardens, plants, hydroponics and learning how to do it. Some of us are pros and some are just learning and want to post what we're reading and what we're doing.

Vegan is for general vegan news, I don't really know what to do with this one.

Our communities are federated with various other servers running software called Lemmy. If you have an account on one of those servers you can still subscribe to our communities from your home server and participate. If you create an account with us you can also view other federated communities across multiple Lemmy servers we are linked up with.

Thanks for visiting our site!

I don't believe they add anything to the experience and are actually toxic. If you have a strong opinion on why they should be allowed let me know, I can't think of any.

Hi Vegans,

I fixed the DMARC record so that the sign up emails should no longer go to your spam filters and quarantines. If you still have issues let me know

Thanks!
