I don’t think that’s how it works, but I’m too American to be certain.

It’s probably against their TOS, so they could ban the account. It’s not illegal. I would say it’s pretty gray morally, since it would probably be bought by an entity that will pretend to be a real person to sell product or spread misinformation.

My wife has been reading a ton more books after leaving Reddit. I’ve mostly switched over to Lemmy. I’m a developer and interested in tech; my wife not so much. So she hasn’t made the jump to Lemmy yet

Yeah, you would need a domain. You would also need a server to run Lemmy. You can run it on any computer, many people use a RaspberryPi. A server in your home might not be easy to setup if you haven’t done anything like that before. Some cloud servers might offer an easy solution to do so but they aren’t usually free.

Here’s the documentation for it: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/en/administration/administration.html

Before I was diagnosed and medicated I flunked out of college, my marriage was strained, and I couldn’t hold down a job. I am much more thoughtful, intelligent, well-spoken, creative, and happier on my medication.

Rust is a very good language but is relatively new on the scene so it has to compete against other languages that fit the same niche(primarily C++) that have been around a lot longer.

Rust has been very popular for hobby projects for a while but it’s still pretty rare to see it for larger projects, and you still almost never see it for enterprise projects. So it’s cool seeing an app that uses it blow up.

I haven’t been here much longer. It’s been really cool seeing all of the communities pop up as users flood in.
