my hands are filthy so that’s fine

Tell that to the french

Interesting link, thank you!

~2 days without food, for most people, I assume

Those are some well made tutorials!

Internet is going to be internet, but this place is like 10% as adversarial as reddit from my experience so far. I haven’t even had anybody DM me to end myself yet. At reddit I got those for saying my favorite game was Total Annihilation.

Less true in other languages. Twitter was big in Japan where 140 chars goes a bit further.

It’s also one of my favorites.

I think your assessment is optimistic.

He’ll ruin the gov like he ruined X

Hey thanks, I do lean a little hard on the self deprecating humor sometimes.

Reddit has been getting worse for years, and the comments there are so adversarial and insincere.

Users definitely can get sick of bad sites, what happened with X shows that. Their user base is a small fraction of what it was a few years ago.

I’m definitely liking it here though!

They care about money. If they don’t go alone with it they probably get fined. So yeah, I think they will.

And it’s not uncommon. Lots of countries don’t call other countries by their names. Japan is Nihon. China is Zhōngguó. Germany is Deutschland.

But those are for historical reasons, changing it specifically to be different is nuts.

More like I have no personality and just go with the flow 😜

In 2010 I was part of the Great Digg Exodus, and now in 2025 I’m part of the Reddit->Lemmy migration. Truly I’m part of the crowd.

At this point I’ve decided to migrate away from WordPress. I should have a while ago.

CanSpace.ca looks really cool, thanks for suggesting it!

Sounds like I need to migrate away from wordpress. Which I kind of already knew.

I hadn’t found that one yet! Thank you!

The sites I run don’t get too much traffic, but performance is still important. When I looked into hostpapa I saw a lot of bad reviews online. You can’t believe everything you read, though it’s enough to keep me cautious.

This might be my choice. I’m going to do more reading.

Probably nitpicks, but I found a lot of the ones I came across charged an extra $50/year for a LetsEncrypt SSL cert which rubs me wrong since LetsEncrypt is free. A few others I found claimed to be Canadian and even had their offices in Canada but were ultimately American owned, which is a dealbreaker for me.

I do have a shortlist of a few, but I want to be thorough since whoever I pick I’ll probably be with indefinitely.
