I just went down a rabbit hole of magical covers at 5 am thanks to you. Much appreciated

I have heard tale of a legendary battle where there was enough dakka, but I don't believe it.

It's also super relevant to the shattered sea trilogy. Guns were legit "elf" magic

Title made me think this was gonna be some stage magician going "Want to see an American magic trick? I'll make you disappear!" Then it cuts to the other person getting deported.

And they almost never run out of old exploited foreign dinosaur juice! I mean oil...

How does one block entire lemmy instances? I want to block hexbear, lemmygrad, and lemmy.ml, but I'm not seeing where I can do that on the UI? I'm on programming.dev.

Me, who chose a big default instance before knowing anything about Lemmy: guess I will be a civilian casualty

Making a new account elsewhere costs nothing.

lemmy.ml

It costs all my account history, not knowing people responded to my old comments, losing or having to migrate all my saved posts/comments, etc.

When I first joined there was talk of Lemmy supporting account migration between instances do I was waiting for that, but that has petered out I think.

As someone who has changed accounts you don't really lose that much. Karmas not a concept here, so that's the big one.

Besides that, most apps let you log into multiple accounts so you can still check all of the legacy interactions if you need to.

The main pain was subscribing to all the communities again.

EDIT: when I first made accounts, .ml was recommended, and I tried signing up cuz I thought, "I work with machine learning, sure!"

Oh, those were brighter days.

There are scripts now that can move your subscription list

lemmy.ml

Yeah, I genuinely don't know what's a good instance to move to though. Even yours is controversial for being too big.

I like lemm.ee, though it's also getting kinda large

I actually prefer sh.itjust.works, but got used to using Alexandrite, so I'm alternating.

I have a backup account on lemm.ee, though I don't use that unless I want to make a split personality joke.

"Civilian casualty"?

I'm sorry, but I don't understand your reference and/or sarcasm.

Based on your reply, should the takeaway be that there is no way to block entire instances?

lemmy.ml

There is no reference, I'm just saying it sucks I get blocked due to people blocking lemmy.ml, even though I have nothing to do with any political stuff there.
