If I want something to be deleted, then I could just edit it before the deletion? So it should be gone sooner this way, if ever.

Didn't think about it, gonna use that.

I never understood (still can't) the need for Twitter. I always thought people used that platform to stalk famous people and officials (I have no idea why they started to use that platform).

Since, they are (famous people) mostly not on mastodon, I can't understand why people need Mastodon.

If I need people's opinions on anything Lemmy is there, right?

I'm not degrading Mastodon or anything in any manner, But I'm simply curious.

There are also problems like the above case.

Also let's say some instance have i//egal content on it, it would take only one user from your instance to see that content, and now you are hosting the i/lega/ content.

/mnt is not for everything, it is a temporary mount point.

Even if I mount fixed drives on /mnt, there won't be any problems, right ?

Just media files, downloads, images , music kinda stuff.

OS "replaces" its contents AND permissions with that of the filesystem's root.

So, the original content is lost forever?

setting permissions is just extreme pedantry

So, what's the actual use case of it though? Even though it's pedantry, it still there has to be some benefits, right?

I mean, What's the need for you to deny the access of /mnt/a untill has mounted with something? One can just leave it as it is, right?

I don't understand the need to caching the content instead just accessing it on the go.

/media or /mnt or anywhere ? Discussion. (lemmy.today)

Where should I mount my internal drive partitions?

As far as I searched on the internet, I came to know that

/Media = mount point for removable media that system do it itself ( usb drive , CD )

/Mnt = temporarily mounting anything manually

I can most probably mount anything wherever I want, but if that's the case what's the point of /mnt? Just to be organised I suppose.

TLDR

If /mnt is for temporary and /media is for removable where should permanent non-removable devices/partitions be mounted. i.e. an internal HDD which is formatted as NTFS but needs to be automounted at startup?

Asking with the sole reason to know that, what's the practice of user who know Linux well, unlike me.

I know this is a silly question but I asked anyway.

Official Unixporn Community ? (lemmy.today)

So which one is actually official one? I can't describe what "official" mean here, maybe the one that actually came from reddit or the one with more subsscribers or one with more activity ?

Also Why there are multiple copies of same community in different instances? Isn't the whole point of lemmy is that it is federated?

There is also three linux4noob communities 🥲
