It looks like you fixed your issue but I had the same thing happen on windows 10 so I am gonna post how I fixed it in case someone runs across this thread later.

In my case everything had been working previously but after an arbitrary reboot, my windows 10 PC could ping the local network and nothing else suddenly. No access to the tailnet, Internet; DNS or otherwise. On the wired interface that is. I could connect to WiFi and it would work just fine. I had a DHCP reservation set, deleted the reservation, let it get a new IP and then it worked. No idea why? Recreated the reservation and it still worked back on the old IP again

That would explain their behavior.

There’s kids today that still do that. And plenty of kids that’s call you a virgin and stuff you in a locker for being able to use a computer without a gui

Duh, I was born in 1901, why do you ask?

You are either a 14 year old socialist furry or a 35 year old Linux user on the fedi. No in between

I’m not trying to be a troll. I’m not even trying to be pedantic. I just agree with the guy a couple comments up that we should refer to the thread based fediverse as “Lemmy”. There is piefed, mbin, and even the microblog based AP platforms can ingest content from threadiverse.

If we refer to the threadiverse as just “Lemmy” then the network is going to be known as a place for tech obsessed socialists rather than being part of the wider AP network

If you email someone on a different mail service and your message breaks the ToS of their mail service then you shouldn’t be surprised if your email address gets blacklisted.

No, lemm.ee and Lemmy.world are using the Lemmy software. You are using a web browser or a mobile app which is decidedly not Lemmy

Everyone knows that grandparents have never had sex and should be protected from such obscenity

Then you should expect enshittified experiences if you aren’t willing to pay for them

This isn’t my experience at all, maybe I just have curated my subscriptions enough that I don’t see that much. Or maybe it’s just because I’m so used to just tuning out socialist/communist comments on threads that have nothing to do with politics.

It’s also worth noting that Lenny’s algorithms sort by either top (which is just votes), hot (which is based on votes and comments which will surface contentious topics like politics more often), new (which is just when it was posted), and scaled (which is just hot but proportional to the size of the community so it will surface smaller communities more often).

If you sort by hot it’s going to give you a similar feed to Reddit. I prefer to sort by top by 6/12/24hr and by scaled personally.

Provider has the connotation of being a paid provider for services. While it’s a technically accurate analogy, I prefer the more abstract comparison of considering the fediverse a meeting place rather than a paid service since it’s a mostly volunteer and self hosted network compared to email.

There is published research that using AI makes people worse at critical thinking. It’s not gatekeeping, it’s a legitimate concern.

I never got banned. I just left because the greedy little CEO is a liar that sacrificed the only thing that made the site good, 3rd party apps, on the alter of the almighty dollar during the API debacle.

To be honest the quality of posts, comments, and moderation policies had gone way down hill since at least 2020. The killing of 3rd party apps just gave me the motivation to finally leave

I don’t know if we want users who can’t grasp the concept that Lemmy and Lemmy.world are different entities and thinks that all of Lemmy should just be Lemmy.com

I think just having a Lemmy branded app with a proper UX is a good thing but let’s not just throw the baby out with the bathwater chasing people who just want Lemmy to be Reddit but it doesn’t make them feel yucky using it.

I can’t wait for twitter’s youtube competitor Xvideos!
