Is it not disgraceful that you have to use a trick so some third party company doesn't install software you don't want on your hardware? I think that's appalling!

I would say a quiche /ˈkiːʃ/ requires eggs whereas a tart doesn't (necessarily), and I have no idea what a key-tch-zah is, we don't have them in the UK. A quiche is a type of tart though, yes.

I'm more of a pizza than that bloody flan! :P

SLA? If that means something like "service level agreement" (I don't know, you didn't specify, I'm guessing) then I can still find examples where it falls well below what I would expect from a public service such that if there was an agreement in place that I would definitely be opposed to it as a tax payer.

And if X isn’t viable there are other platforms that are.

I mean yes obviously, there are much more viable platforms like Mastodon, or even a self-hosted website.

You can call anything a pizza if you want. It becomes a useful term if it's commonly understood by your audience.

Is Twitter/X viable for that? They can decide, and have, to randomly put information behind login walls.

Would also like to know this. The communication is terrible. Is @[email protected] part of feddit.uk or separate? This is what I meant when I said it should be "well and truly distanced" from this instance. Somebody else needs to set up the UK instance, not be reliant on what ever Flaky Tom decrees. I'm not in the position to step up, and perhaps nobody is - but please could people honestly communicate that so we can look for alternatives?

No judgement but here in the UK this is more like what we'd call a flan than a pizza or a pie. So instead of arguing about pizzas and pies, why not embrace a third category?

I feel like I gently warned about this during the process, relying on an inactive admin always seemed like a bad idea. I hoped it was taken care of and that somebody else was assigned console access but no assurance was provided, no explanation as to what the actual situation was, so I left here for another instance. Turns out my fears were true and I'm glad I didn't waste any more time here.

I have no idea why folk were so eager for Tom to turn back up again, why that was a source of any delay, or any reason to change plans for "Quackhouse" once they were in advanced stages.

I feel like all this has really crushed what was a promising UK community on Lemmy, a double-blow now, and I hope any new instance that appears is well and truly distanced from this one.
