Blahaj.zone has both a lemmy and a piefed option, so that's one of the reasons why I went with them. Plus, it seems to be one of the most accepting and transparent of the bunch.

I was able to migrate everything else, so I'm guessing it's up to the instance host to provide that data. I managed to export a .json of all my subscriptions, profile info, etc... so I guess it's just a structural issue with how images and posts are shared.

Can't complain about lemm.ee as a service though, they've been upfront about the whole thing.

Man, whats the furry % of VRC users? There's gotta be a ton of folks who identify more with their Fursona at this point.

All I will say is those aren't just isolated stories. Even I've been guilty of thinking staying in the headset is genuinely more comfortable than waking up to reality.

NGL I expect this may genuinely happen to a VRChat user at some point

Honestly, as an American living in Silicon Valley, I would be overjoyed if Europe became the primary kickstarter for open source alternatives to the existing US corporate infrastructure, that bends to the knees of the Federal government. Even here at home, myself and some of my co-workers aren't too keen on the existing status quo tools because there are too many caveats - from rent seeking subscriptions to the inability to verify if something is tampered with.

In the same way Valve saw how having all their eggs in the Windows basket led them to dive head first into linux development, I hope the EU's realization of the risks in the US tech sector lead it to developing unified, well funded OSS alternatives. I would certainly install them.

I will be giving support and kind greetings to those I interact with and shall not be stopped! :3

But wouldn't you arguably achieve the same goal through simple calculations? It's not like there isn't substantial records of the technology at it's height, since it was the standard at one point. I'd imagine it would have been a much more efficient use of electricity to plug an equation for the estimate with a calculator.

I mean... this is cool and an interesting experiment, but I don't really get why. I used to have DSL internet back into the day, and I remember how bad it was - I'd never want to return to those speeds.
