  • A lot of people seem to have forgotten (or maybe just weren’t around at the time) but there were tons of duplicate communities on reddit during the first years too. Over time their mods either agreed to close one and point everyone to the other or the less active ones faded away naturally.

    One problematic scenario I can envision with that approach on Lemmy however is the mods of news@lemmysite1 and news@lemmysite2 agreeing to keep the first one alive, but then after a while lemmysite1 closes for whatever reason. So we’re left with news@lemmysite2 which is a ghost town. Probably not a big deal for a news community, but for something with a lot of info on a particular topic it’s not really ideal.




  • questions if you want to block something or not

    Interesting because that’s exactly how LuLu works too. Or did you just whitelist everything and block only what you needed manually?

    I like how minimalistic RadioSilence is, but I found it a bit too limited for my use case. Does the job if you want to just block an app or two and allow everything else.


  • Lulu is awesome, free, and open-source (so… triple awesome?). I’ve personally used it for a couple of years and I can definitely recommend it.

    Unfortunately there have been 3 separate times that it seemed to completely forget its configuration and having to allow or deny every single connection all over again gets old pretty fast. Little Snitch also looks nicer and has a few more features, although nothing life changing.

    With that said I just saw a decent discount and decided to share it. I’m not saying you should use one over the other or anything like that.

    I actually use CotEditor and VS Code pretty much the same way you do. I’d probably switch to VS Code for everything if it opened just a bit faster. There’s something about the 2-3 seconds it takes to start that really annoys me so I only use it for longer tasks.
