Maybe Legolas never talked to him in the movies because he didn't want to giggle.

Nice meme.

However, couldn't also Eärendil be considered?

Edit: found another possibility:

Legolas is the geographically-closest “elf-prince” to Erebor, where the coat was found. But it’s made of mithril, and that can’t be found in Erebor.

So it was probably forged in Moria. The mithril was definitely mined there. We don’t know exactly when, but we know Moria bordered not one, but two elf-kingdoms (Lorien and Eregion).

Elrond was Gil-galad’s right hand elf, and probably could have claimed the title of high king after the Last Alliance, although he didn’t. He also lived in Eregion for a while, and met his wife in Lorien. He had two sons, both born well before Moria fell to the balrog.

Conclusion: it was forged either for Elladan or Elrohir. They wore it, outgrew it, and gave it back to Durin’s folk, who then brought it with them into exile.

At the time, LW was among the only ones that could handle the influx of registrations.

So naturally, it became the default one, as people would want to get on the biggest one, similar to a way the biggest Mastodon instance is very prevalent.

People were also afraid their All feed won't be as full if they were not on LW.

Nowadays I think the repartition is a bit better, and most of the top communities have at least an equivalent out of LW.

People bitching about Lemmy.world blocking piracy instances sound like spoiled teenagers with no consideration of consequences

Curious to see how this thread will go, as it seems this opinion is indeed unpopular.

I agree with you 100%

A few points I've noted in the previous threads

  • people confuse defederation and community blocking (in this case, it's the latter)
  • people assume that Lemmy.world is hosted in the US while it's EU based
  • people just feel like they need to announce they are leaving while this is not Reddit, most of the users open an alt and move on with their lives.

Reddit is reportedly suspending users for using third-party apps that spoof the official app

This post is woefully inaccurate. Firstly, all the revanced mod does is change the 3rd party API to a personal developer API. Not one single user has had any problems doing this as this API is offered for users to make and use apps. There's a call limit for everyone's personal API so it can't be abused.

This issue is from something separate... KoalaS made an IfR clone that uses the official Reddit app API. This is easily detectible and a really stupid decision to make, and an even dumber decision to use.

TLDR: this has nothing to do with revanced mods, just a really stupid specific cloned app

Edit: Never use a pre-made modded APK for this. If you do, you will be sharing an API with others and that could put your account at risk. Always patch your own app with your own API.

Seems quite stupid to tryp to spoof the official app, I guess personal revanced app are still here for long

It seems you were unlucky with your instances, sorry to hear that.

You are currently on feddit.uk, which is indeed managed by a single person.

I always recommend to go for instances with at least two admins, for this kind of issues.

https://lemm.ee/, https://sh.itjust.works/ https://discuss.tchncs.de/ are solid choices.

Which are those apps? Boost, Sync, Thunder, Liftoff, Connect, Avalon and Voyager all work pretty well.

The authentication error is probably due to the release of 18.5 yesterday, should be fixed quickly.

All of those are growing pains. If you don't want to deal with those, you don't have too, just take a break from Lemmy. People should be free to let go of platforms at any time, and come back after a while if they feel like it.
