Tbh, that’s partially the reason why I opened your thread: to find recommendations lol. I’ve been procrastinating and haven’t found some good alternatives yet. But looking at what others are responding with, it’s probably best to give those a try.
Duplicati is a good backup tool, period. As in, it’s literally just good at backups. When it came to restoring, it took me I think 3-4 days to restore around 419 GB of files.
I highly recommend you ditch Duplicati and look for something else. Or if you manage to figure out a fix, try restoring your files before you actually need it.
And another tip is that when creating your backup, you should copy the database file Duplicati creates onto a separate drive. For whatever reason, Duplicati puts its database files on the same drive you’re trying to backup. So when it comes time to restore, it wants you to grab the database file from your dead/corrupted storage drive.
Do you upvote allegations without evidence? Because that’s how misinformation spreads.
OP had previous temp bans in the past. Emphasis on the fact that bans is plural. Is that not enough of a warning?
Screenshots can be easily manipulated by Inspect Element. Like for example:
There’s no way for us to authenticate OP’s claim with 100% certainty unless we had access to Reddit’s backend and could verify the comment history directly.
Plus, this story was told entirely from OP’s perspective. Can we verify with 100% certainty that that was exactly what was said? Are we for certain that OP didn’t say anything else? How do we know if the full sentence wasn’t “Go back to the muscovite empire and I hope your entire family gets raped”?
And how do we know Reddit didn’t see a larger pattern of TOS-breaking comments and simply included one excerpt in the ban notice to OP? I know for Reddit moderators, they’re restricted to being able to include only one single rule-infringing comment in a ban notification sent to users, even if multiple messages were problematic. I wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit admins had the same limitation.
That’s why I always take “I got banned by Reddit admins” posts on the Fediverse with a grain of salt. There’s too much missing information to judge. OP might be telling the truth, or they might not. I don’t have enough evidence either way, so I’ll reserve judgment and move on.
NIKKE if you like looking at jiggly asses with a pretty decent lore (Disclaimer Disclosure: I’m the moderator of !nikke@lemmy.world).
BrownDust 2 if you like to constantly ask yourself “How is this still allowed on the app store?”
Blue Archive if you like cute and funny girls.
Girls’ Frontline 2 if you like cute and sexy girls holding guns.

The social media ban for younger kids in Australia is not a good thing. By requiring anyone who wants to access social platforms to provide government ID, you’re effectively eliminating online anonymity.
Sure, the justification today might be to “protect the kids”. But you’re slowly building the infrastructure of a surveillance state. All it’ll take is for an authoritarian party to win the next election and your privacy and freedom of expression is over.
The only way to protect children and protect our privacy is if the age verification software is publicly auditable and uses zero-knowledge proofs for age attestation. The website you’re accessing must never see anything about you aside from “This user is 16+.” And the age verification platform must never be able to keep a log of which websites you’ve accessed.
But that’s just a compromise. If I had the option to choose, I’d rather there be absolutely no age verification, ever.
EDIT: Fixed grammar.
I’m having fun getting my ass kicked on Hell Let Loose. Really enjoying walking for several minutes and then just dying without ever seeing the enemy.
Remember how it would feel when a post in your favorite niche sub hit /all?
I’m from the anime community. It was not a good thing when it happened around a decade ago lol. It got so bad that the /r/anime mods voluntarily hid us from /r/all for a few years before eventually opening up again.
I also play niche gacha games with fan service, and the general consensus on having outsiders come in is negative. Mainly because the outsiders usually can’t tolerate fan service and the developers have to make the game tamer.
But I get what you mean, though. Echo chambers are bad for political-related communities. It’s exactly what lead to our current political climate.
Said more directly: r/popular sucks, and we’re moving away from it, and towards better, more relevant and personalized feeds.
I hate how the highlighted part is going to be a decent thing at best or a fucking horrible thing at worst.
I’m not too familiar with VPNs that offer IPv6 addresses, so I can’t help with that. But I’m curious about why some people want IPv6 addresses. Are there any benefits to having an IPv6 address?
10+ years on Reddit. Never banned on any subreddit or Reddit itself, ever. First came here during the 2023 API controversy. Went back to Reddit since the anime community was pretty small here, and I could still use my own API key for 3rd party apps.
Came back to Lemmy a week or two ago due to this bullshit. I’m not affected yet as I still have my own API key, so I’ll be hopping back and forth between Reddit and Lemmy. But I know my time on Reddit is limited.
I just hope Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse is polished up by the time of the next Reddit exodus. But based on the most recent API change, I think Reddit has learned to make smaller changes over long periods of time over one major change that angers everyone all at once.
Sadly, they only removed access to new API keys. Existing ones still work, for now.
Why this is “sad” is because Reddit has learned from the past. They won’t immediately take drastic changes that will immediately piss off a big chunk of their users. Instead, they’ll do it slowly so fewer people will feel the immediate impact. But eventually, this will affect everyone.
And why this sucks for us is because if there’s no massive outrage like the one in 2023, there won’t be a mass migration to the Fediverse.
What benefit does this have over a Zigbee dongle on Amazon that’s cheaper? Would the advantage be that this is a 3-in-1 dongle?
Depends on the community. I’ve met some very helpful noob-friendly developers who recognize you’re a noob and will use simpler terms to guide you through the process, and passive aggressive assholes that’ll ignore your messages the very second they figure out you’re a noob. Even though they were literally just talking to you seconds before.
I’m jumping between Reddit and Lemmy. Some subreddits have all of their mods booted out (r/GoCommitDie and r/OpenAI are two I can think of). Some subreddits have decided to flag their subreddit as NSFW but are being threatened by Reddit to reverse that move, and many have returned to business as usual.
Let’s face it. We’ve lost the API protest. All we can do now is make Lemmy popular and make it attractive to other users. Give people an incentive to actually join here. Our job here is not to make Lemmy a copy of Reddit. We need to make Lemmy different (in a good way!).
And here’s an unpopular opinion: we need to make Lemmy easy to use and understand. If normies find Lemmy difficult to use or understand, then we’re fucked.
My personal opinion is that normies might get confused by the fediverse and might be turned away by thinking they need to make an account on every single instance in order to participate in them. I am not proposing that we get rid of federation. What I am proposing is that we somehow make it clearer to everyone that all you really need is one account and you can get access to everywhere. I don’t know how we can do this, but I’m sure there is someone who knows.
They said they wanted to remove r/popular a few months ago.
But it looks like they were referring to r/all this entire time.
