Lmao what is the original one for this??

Have to admit that no, haven’t used Ryanair since 2019 sorry :(

I’m from Europe so my experiences are mostly from here:

My experience is that if you check in immidiately when you can and being at the airport early enough will be enough to get on. It’s usually the late bees that get notified of overbooking issue.

Just check in asap when it becomes available and be at the airport early enough to be at the top of the line during boarding. I always check in 24/48 hours before the flight and have only once been notified of overbooking and possibility of not getting onboard. I immidiately went through security and was waiting for boarding close to the gate - got in.

Edit: also have only once selected seats in advance, didn’t do so on Ryanair flight.

It’s also about the barrier of entry. Discord has a barrier, but it is not high. The fact that this platform is their commercial product ensures that issues are minimal (well…). For non tech-savvy people and those who don’t have time / don’t want to put in time to troubleshoot and figure things out this is the reason they go for these commercial solutions.

Just my observations from trying to switch friends and family over to free open source alternatives. It was a huge hassle to even get people to try out and move to signal, but signal has lowered the barrier quite a bit and now it’s stable (was not always as fast and stable as now).

There are programs for that! Even an app AFAIK, but sadly I don’t remember the good ones right now. Maybe someone could pitch in and suggest?

I find that if I procrastinate on learning, the best course of action is to go blindly in, try, get frustrated, find info, create chaos and just absolutely fail.

Surprisingly this breaks the procrastination cycle for me. But I can’t promise that this will work for you.

The other option is to just watch a tutorial on the phone, which may break barrier (unlike actually sitting infront of a computer deciding that you will invest time into this).

Seems like it worked for me. Last I checked my deleted account’s comments are still up and display replaced text.

I overwrote my comments with a message that clearly states why I overwrote my comments and deleted my account.

return null;

Yup. Wanted to add that I’m glad there is modlog on on these platforms and that they are visible to everyone. Love the transparency.

I believe the developers on Kbin and Lemmy have moderation tools in their backlog. I think it will be interesting to see how they implement those and how it will work in the fediverse.

Yup sadly you need to use the global search if you arw connecting your instance for the first time to a new community.

Each instance needs to first “connect” to a community on another instance for it to show up in their own “all communities” list.

The way you can connect a community to your instance is to be the first to subscribe to the community. To do this:

Get the real url of the community, go to the search icon -> paste the url, set search to “search all” and you should be able to find it and subscribe.

Now your instance should be federating with the community on another instance.

Edit: link to a comment I made awhile ago where I explain everything with a pic: https://lemmy.one/comment/237988

Good point. I keep forgetting that not everyone just moved here during the protests.

Wait. Why are the memes about the blackout better on twitter than here?! Or have I just not found the good communities for those kind of memes?
