For the while, yes.

FYI: there is !toyota@gearhead.town. Maybe it would be better/nicer to use that one instead of being too specific?

I can make you a mod there too if you'd like.

On a penalty shootout. What's so special about it? Am I missing something?

instead of downvoting it, how about blocking the communities that don't interest you?

I will take a look at the login issue. Seems like I need to update alien.top to a more recent version of Lemmy.

If you already have a Fedi account and just want to help with the community mapping, please take a look at https://fediverser.network/. The "fediversed" instances (like alien.top) can update their own mapping based on changes from fediverser.network, so any on one place can be used by admins elsewhere.

Nothing can be easier than going to https://portal.alien.top/, signing up with your Reddit account and seeing your account already subscribed to communities corresponding to your favorite subreddits.

Unfortunately Brazilians have a kind of automatic citizenship on arrival from an agreement between Portugal and Brazil.

Either you are grossly simplifying their extended visa process or you are utterly misinformed.

There is no "automatic citizenship" for Brazilians. The only path to citizenship in Portugal is by bloodline and even that has become harder to get: it used to be that grandchildren of Portuguese citizens could start the process to get citizenship directly, and some good ~15 years ago it changed that only the direct descendants can do it.

I am not talking about people like you that get involved in the communities they enjoy. I am talking about those that seem to be dedicated to a personal mission.

Yeah, I didn't get this part either. I will take a look later to see if I can turn the this into a more traditional web app.

I agree with almost all of your points, but I don't think that it's okay to normalize guilt by association, and I call them "the mob" because I see these calls for defederation less as a real concern for their safety and more of instrument to enforce compliance.

I think there is a spectrum between what you did (you were mod until you no longer thought that the pain of dealing with Reddit was worth it or morally justified) and someone who sticks around as a mod of 50+ subreddits because they see as an instrument of control, or someone that keeps running a big Mastodon instance despite financial struggles; and my point is to understand where most people lie.

Just because you made the mistake buying into a shitty walled garden like iOS doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for other people.

So much misfires in one single sentence. Impressive.

• "you made the mistake": I am not talking my phone, but from other people that I want to talk to.
• "shitty walled garden like iOS": I may not like, and you may not like, but there are 20-30% of the whole world that to do prefer to have a phone that gives them a walled garden and gives them some peace of mind. But instead of accepting that other might have different values than you, you try to dismiss their values as secondary to your cause and you pass your values as something that should be universal. Are you noticing the pattern here?
• doesn’t mean it doesn’t work for other people: if someone on Android can not have video calls via XMPP with someone on iOS, then no, it doesn't work for neither of them.

I see a pattern here of you ignoring reality

You want to keep believing that your solution is superior and that the problem is with everyone else that keeps choosing the wrong things? Fine, I will not be able to convince you otherwise. But to keep being presented with actual experience from other people and respond by saying that "they are ignoring reality"? This is just silly.
