I’ve noticed this constantly, they will either flat out ban VOIP numbers (which is usually what these free services use) and/or the number will already be used up for the service you want to use. Paid number services are the only things i’ve ever personally gotten to work.

We’re currently working on implementing a patch someone deployed to burggit. Stay tuned!~

It works exactly like how I wanted it to work, you get (a) number(s) that people can text you from and you have a little GUI to see all your received texts. It’s pretty much exactly what you expect, not many extra bells and whistles, but you don’t really need there to be.

Alright, we’ll be defederating with them again. We’ll refederate once it’s clear they have things under control.

Thanks for this, they’ve been refederated on our end.

They seem to have changed what happens a couple times.

I’ll refederate them once they make an announcement post or once their sidebar changes from this:

Maybe they already have. 🤔

These are basically my sentiments, both towards Discord and Matrix. I have been seeing more and more matrix communities around the places I browse, which is definitely a good sign. Hopefully, the growth continues significantly. I am lucky in that I managed to get my friends to use Matrix, whether that be switching entirely or just using it alongside discord. So, i’m fortunate to be in a situation where I almost never have to open Discord, except in exceptionally rare circumstances.

I actively avoid services which require phone verification; however, there are services which allow you to fake it, like crypton.sh which is a paid service where you can buy phone numbers (both anonymously with cryptocurrency and with credit/debit card). I’ve used it in the past, when phone numbers are unavoidable and for one reason or another I have to use the software. Haven’t had to use it in many years though.

I currently use Mullvad and consider it to basically be the VPN to get for privacy, however i’ve heard decent things about AzireVPN.

Hosting is registered with anonaddy and paid with XMR through trocador.app :)

Yeah, shouldn’t be a problem then! If you get any issues, moving should be pretty much without consequence.

I am not so sure about that, if you click “expand here” I believe it saves a copy to the server and creates a link:

That’s not how most federated software works (usually that’s an opt-in feature.) Hopefully, Lemmy makes it opt in like other federated software like Mastodon/Pleroma/Akkoma do.

Smart idea, since the hosting is anonymous (at least I’d assume) it shouldn’t be too hard to switch over if ever you needed to. Not that you should be held responsible for federated content anyway. Since it’s not on your servers, it shouldn’t be too big of an issue.

I did indeed write this article. I’m not sure if the monero.town people would be interested in switching. However, if you are interested in switching and have any questions let me know, we’d be happy to help and might even be able to help get you a discount depending on the provider. I’d even be willing to help pay towards your move (in Monero ofcourse.)

It looks so happy!

I love white/silver haired girls too! I don’t know how I forgot about them, my first 2 waifus were silver/white haired actually!

This is the way!

I personally think links to something like Reddit make no sense, since one of the reasons for being on a site like Burggit or many other lemmy instances is to try and separate ties from that website. I also feel linking to a reddit post directly discourages posting and discussing things here.

Screenshots or even images from reddit I don’t think matter as much, just like how a link to a YouTube video wouldn’t matter that much as that doesn’t actively discourage discussion. Hope this makes sense, my thoughts tend to be rather scattered.

They say don’t stick your dick in crazy, but crazy can be fun! :3 Especially when it comes to Anime Girls!

Those are all good colors too! Though I think those are more design dependent, at least for determining if I like the characters. However, I will say that they are definitely colors which have a tendency to boost the overall appeal of a character for me, much like green and blonde hair girls do.

What is it about green haired cuties that’s so appealing?!?!? I don’t know if we’ll ever understand it, but that’s fine. Something was just meant to be enjoyed.
