  • I’m not going to say it’s not a me-problem, but disregarding the fact that if it was that simple it would be more widespread amongst people is making it seem as if we don’t try seriously and downplays the effort many like myself put in.

    I care about privacy and about my close ones (as many here do) and I explain the issue to them in a nice way so to not come across as a pushy salesman, and they readily admit that they don’t want to put the effort in (effort as in learning something new, upkeeping with multiple apps, etc).

    It’s not that I don’t know why they don’t switch immidiately - I know why. It’s simply that they don’t. It’s okay not to switch as long as you know the risks and I’ve explained the risks and they seem to understand it, but it’s not enough to get everyone to switch.

    If life was that simple with everyone (I know some switch without hesitation) the world would be completely different.

    You can explain to a decent normal person the imminent doom we are facing with climate change and they may understand it very well, but they still wont give up on using their car and switch to public transport immidiately, because it is an inconvenience.













  • Wait, you mean the mod or the admin? The term “Admin” is used for system administrators of an instance. e.g. lemmy.world Admins are not necessarily mods of any communities, they own, upkeep, and administer the server. Mods are Moderators of a community and not often/necessarily Admins of the instance.

    If Admin has disappeared/is inactive for too long the instance wont likely stay up long. If the said community is on your instance (so lemmy.world), the admins of lemmy.world are definitely active. They can transfer the moderation of the community in question to you.

    Edit: don’t worry, you are not disrespecting me in any way. Better to ask your questions and ask for clarification. I know fediverse is confusing and that’s why I’m more than happy to help so please, don’t worry.

    Edit2: to clarify just incase: “Instance” is a lemmy server, so lemmy.world is an instance and happens to be your instance. My instance is “sopuli.xyz”.
