So i guess that this solves the big problem short term. The influx has been the first growing pain. But long term it does nothing. They will get caught defederating from smaller instances over and over. Anyone that jumps in from smaller instances will be able to carry on, at least how i understand it. The cream will rise to the top eventually, but such a strong declaration so early isnt a good sign. If the mods from any large instance decide that "this is too much, ban them" is the best response, the lemmy community is destined to be a fractured mess, rather than a reddit killer or a reddit refugee state.

I guess, imo, i get it. 100% understand from a moderation point of view. But im frustrated that there is this big of a fold the first week of real volume. The cesspool will exist in any instance. But going thermobaric this early leads to nukes next week. And it may be a sign of why a strong corporate arm and direction, as much as we hate it, is currently the winning scenario. Unfederated control is powerful. The hydra has been unleashed, but for each head you cut off, three more appear.

Welcome to the internet? We've been here the whole time

You do know what a false dichotomy is, right?

Well, to be fair. If you join the nazi server and stick around, i dont have much sympathy. Lets be honest, there will be hints.

It's the internet. Make a new account on a better place. For fucks sake you can probably keep the same username with zero repercussions. It isnt really a loss.

It took me all of 15 minutes to repopulate my subscribed list when i picked a dead end community. And when my current one fails, i can literally do the same again. It isnt a loss. My goal at a certain point is to maintain some semblance of anonymity anyways. I had countless reddit accounts over the past 12 years. Why would i be worried now?

Using an emoji lineup to pick what service is superior is the most pantshittingly stupid reasoning i have ever seen. Jesus fucking christ.

If you wanna be supremely dissapointed on how long the worst of the worst can last after they commit horrible atrocities, look up pol pot. Assuming this man will pay consequences for his actions anytime in the near future is, unfortunately, very naïve.

The faa regulates air traffic .including drones. You shoot down an nypd drone, you're gunna get the feds involved.

I migrated from windows phone to android and loved the windowsphone interface.

I use squarehome. It is infinitely customizable and with a little work the cleanest ui imaginable.

Abbot' predecessor was the driving force behind our massive wind energy investments. This is great news for clean energy and the state. I dont like abbot, and barely tolerated Perry, but every now and then, the leaders of Texas do something i can get behind.

"There i was..." is put out by the AOPA air safety institute and has live interviews with people who were in general aviation accidents or in incidence.

I also listen to "the finer points" with jason miller. He is a career cfi that goes through training scenarios and is a great resource for student pilots or people learning ifr.

I like lemmy, but i miss reddits ability for useless hot takes to be downvoted into oblivion.

So many people here really do think their hard line, no context opinions hold value.

Something something forest, trees, shitty visibility. For fucks sake.

Im happy. More activity is always good, but you gotta start somewhere. The posts have slowly been picking up. Its a niche community, its going to take time.

I am down to help contribute. This place has potential.

Buy 4 new tires for your vehicle. All at once. Take a look at the vimes "boots theory of economic injustice" principal. 1000 seems extreme to you, but getting through the winter in certain parts can be sobering.

The point isnt the dollar figure, it's the principal.

You can. Go to settings and there is a volume slider for atc and music

You can also change between different frequencies for tower, etc by clicking above the main airport button.

Options where i live for non alcoholic beer are scarce where i live, but tbh, It's a little more of a "something that isnt beer at night" sort of thing than it is a drive for sobriety. Ive got no problem with a gin and tonic nightcap, however a glass or two of tea is cheaper and healthier. But thanks for the alternative. I appriciate it.

when the reddit blackout is over, if r/flying and r/aviation open back up on reddit, there needs to be some sort of post made. or several. this instance has a great name to be a hub for the aviation community of all sorts on the fediverse, and leaching off those already established subreddits and their engagement is the way to make things here pop off. we are not linked to many other instances and are going to need to basically build the community up from the ground. but, lemmyfly.org has the potential to be the hotspot for aviation and flying.

hell, let the shitheads at r/shittyaskflying and r/planesgonewild in on it as well. i like them too.

absolutely. and also on mastadon, twitter, and any forums or aviation facebook pages you know of. we have basically no community right now. without volume, we have nothing but five people on a random internet page. the structure of the community will form after you get people.

will you necessarily like it when the people show up? idk. but without engagement, you have a dead end domain with nothing of value. so start with inviting people that have an interest in what you are creating, and go from there. the worst thing that happens is they go to another instance. and if that instance is more successful and more interesting, you and i will be there as well eventually.

people of similar interests will congregate somewhere. the job we have here, right now, is to say quite literally, "we are here and you should be too". that is step one. we are existing in a very rare and interesting time in regards to the creation and development of a niche community, one that hasn't been seen in a while, and to be honest, for all the endless anarchy of the internet, may not happen again for a very long time. take advantage of it.

so the music library for it isnt very extensive, but the atc audio mixes it up pretty well. there may be a way to import more music, but i dont know.

pro tip, go to las vegas tower at night. they have the most volume audiowise. or any busy bravo tbh, but vegas is my favorite

Oh he will be the first one out when it goes public. Whatever majority shareholders make up the board will not look favorably on this. Now it is all positioning and planning for future resource extraction. In no profit driven world does spez remain ceo in 6 months. Guarantee it.

Been trying to cut back on my evening alcohol consumption. Its a simple, very flavor forward herbal tea, and its been a great drink for winding down and resetting for the night. I dont know what it is, but im a fan. Mint tea didnt do that, but a cup or two of bengal spice seems to be what i personally crave now.
