  • I’m already telling people to get out of Florida*. I expect multiple Katrina-level events over the next 15 years. “Florida refugees” is going to become a common phrase.

    Orlando might be more likely to survive than Miami or Tampa, but do you really want to be in the city surrounded by devastation?

    We, as humans, seem to have lost the ability to plan more than 20 years into the future. Florida is still building in areas that are going to be crushed, and the only reaction is from insurance companies.

    We’re not trying to prevent it. We’re not building any kind of defenses or contingency plans. We’re not encouraging people to move out. We’re not preventing people from moving in. In fact, we’re building new and encouraging people to move IN to Florida. It’s full on head in sand.


  • But not in 100% of cases and therefore it’s not worth trying. /s

    It is a difficult problem, because there really are some mentally disturbed people in that population too. You can absolutely tackle the problem slowly and one case at a time lift most people out of that situation. But any solution that treats them as a group will bring along the 10% of them that will literally shit all over everything you’ve tried to build.







  • If I’m running lemmy.world, I wouldn’t unsubscribe my people. I’d wait for that instance to move to a new domain and just find/replace in the database.

    Not every instance needs to migrate fmhy. Some can just leave that stuff broken. If the biggest half dozen instances migrate manually, fmhy would be able to keep most of their subscribers.

    I do wonder how often instances will keep looking for fmhy without intervention. Seems like tooling to migrate or discontinue an instance wouldn’t be too difficult to build. At least it wouldn’t if they didn’t have a million other things on their plate.

    We could use a few less third party clients and more work on Lemmy itself. Unless you’re going to bring over your userbase like RiF and Apollo can.
