On the Divolt, Zinklog said he should’ve made a post before they pulled the plug. But the vulnerability seemed scary. Which I can’t blame em for. No other official word to my knowledge though
Oh yes I actually agree with that decision. Better safe than sorry.
But I was worried about the information blackout. I feared the admins got hacked and locked out of the server.
I’m not familiar with Divolt. Can you browse without being registered? If not, maybe we need a more public backup channel? Dunno, maybe on Mastodon or on another Lemmy instance?
Today I even checked the fmhy sub on Reddit but there was nothing there.
I’m going to need look up the different contacts available to keep in the loop on instances I like in case something happens again. Don’t want to have to go back to reddit to try and find news on their status haha
Yeah, my most treasured subs started their own instances here with fmhy and piracy, so I’ve been fine without reddit. Just need to secure those alternate communication channels and I’ll be able to not go back to Spez.
I don’t believe so. Divolt is a self hosted instance of Revolt that FMHY uses. And revolt is basically a Open source discord alternative. I started my account there to see if there was any news about it.Though yeah, Mastodon or something might not be a bad idea, but obviously it’s up to the admins on their plans
I see, thanks for the explanation. Ideally I’d like Mastodon, so there’d be no mandatory new account. But yeah it’s up to the admins. If they already have Divolt, I’m not sure they’d be willing to manage another platform. We’ll see 🙂
It looks like someone in management had a pretty bad day lol. No need to unleash their frustration on you, though. I hope you managed to be super zen about it. You need a lot of patience when dealing with this kind of people. A lot of bosses are like that, unfortunately.
Agree, the staff seems really good. There’s also a post about the down now. Reddit is really going down the drain imho. spez is destroying it. I myself moved here because of him. The API changes, the killing of 3rd party apps and the ad hoc rules to stifle the protest were the last straw for me.
