- Comment on Why did people in the 90s/early 00s say that the internet "couldn't be taken down"? 5 days ago:
Because back then the Internet wasn’t controlled by just a few big corporations.
- Comment on How can I migrate my current Lemmy profile to another lemmy instance? 1 month ago:
I honestly give a steaming pile of bullcrap about stupid random internet points.
Why does it matter?
I want my data with me (i.e. available in the accoutn I mainly use) and not on some other account I don’t use anymore.

losing all your comments and posts history
They are not lost, they are still there
Yes, they’re there, in the old account on the old instance, and not here, where the new account on the new instance is.
Lemmy shouldn’t be used for messaging
That is entirely not the point. (Also: messaging on Lemy and instant messaging have nothing in common and should not be confused.)
- Comment on How can I migrate my current Lemmy profile to another lemmy instance? 1 month ago:
Except the things I mentioned.

Migrating or moving an account is not part of ActivityPub. Mastodon extended the protocol to have a
moveactivity.Unless Lemmy devs come up with something similar and extend the protocol, there is no way to properly move/migrate the account to another instance. The current solution is to create a new account on your desired instance and then export the data on your old instance and import it on your new instance and leave a note in your bio for old instance/account[^1]
Start here for details on this. According to the devs this would be nice to have but is of very low priority.
[^1]: ignoring the fact that you need to re-subscruibe to communities with manual approval and losing all your comments and posts history as well as all private messaging history and contacts.

Or … you could accept that nature is part of our life as a species and stop being an asshole over your “pRopErTy LinE”.
- Comment on have you crimed today? 5 months ago:
Not sure, but I think so. But it definitely not legal in Germany!

- Comment on Is everyone so depressed now partially because modern science has probably proven there is no god / afterlife? 5 months ago:
A horned horse to me makes more sense than the concept that is usually called “god”.
- Comment on Is everyone so depressed now partially because modern science has probably proven there is no god / afterlife? 5 months ago:
A depression is an illness. “Feeling depressed” is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is a bodily malfunction that needs to be treated with appropriate medicine.
If believing in some “higher being” or “the afterlife” helps an individual to deal with the symptoms of a depression that’s great, but not believing such things does not cause a depression.
