  • For recommendations on how best to organize:

    1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, and will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
    2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This would massively impact their income streams, and can bring a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
    3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective (plus you’ll get better pay and benefits!)

    If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!





  • even with wine/yabridge getting paid ones with licence protection running is a mess.

    Honestly, because I’m not a fan of intrusive DRM anyway, I say Yarr, matey 🏴‍☠️

    I know that’s not a solution for some, but until there’s more Linux native VST’s, it’s a viable path for those willing to take it.








  • Lemmy-Federate is a project that automatically subscribes a single bot account from participating instances to essentially pre-seed a community across those instances. The net effect of doing that is posts made to that community will show up on those instances /all feed, and the community itself will show up if users on those instances search it (instead of having to use the lemmyverse.net community search to discover it exists, and then manually federate the community to their instance by searching the community URL in their local instance’s search bar).

    Once a real user from a participating instance subscribes to the community, the bot account will unsubscribe.

    It makes it much, much easier to get a new community rolling, as otherwise it could take quite some time for people across instances to discover it and be federated naturally (which is even more of an issue on smaller instances, where there may not be a large/active local community to kick things off).




  • Don’t sell yourselves short, your instance has a lot going for it due to your efforts!

    • Active admins who regularly participate and are easily reached if issues come up
    • Regularly update to newer versions of Lemmy
    • Appealing instance theme
    • excellent server up-time
    • Sought out Lemmy-federate to make it easier for new communities

    All that takes time and effort to maintain, and a surprising amount of smaller instances can lack that. So cheers for all that you do, appreciate it man :)
