This is actually my third lemmy account. I have had issues with two of fmhy’s instances (lemmy.fmhy.ml and lemmy.fmhy.net) and ended up on here as a result. I thought I would try and find a smaller server to join.

Is there anything I should know about this instace? Where does the name and image come from btw?

I had some issues accessing the !homebrewing@sopuli.xyz community and some others. Is this because they haven’t been cached yet?

Also you offer any other services besides lemmy?

Edit: now having problems with !bready@lemmy.world

Rednecks were originally left wing pro-union workers originally. So these people don’t deserve to be called rednecks.

Edit: had to double check. There were multiple meanings including the coal miners I am referring to. Apparently it could also mean white sun burned farmers in the 19th century

That looks rather interesting. Is it a sourdough?

From the Wikipedia article on rednecks:

Coal miners

The term “redneck” in the early 20th century was occasionally used in reference to American coal miner union members who wore red bandanas for solidarity. The sense of “a union man” dates at least to the 1910s and was especially popular during the 1920s and 1930s in the coal-producing regions of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.[18] It was also used by union strikers to describe poor white strikebreakers.[19]

What software are you running on all of this?

Did you even read my earlier correction? I said the term has had multiple meanings. The coal miners were in the 20th century, the farmer rednecks were earlier in the 19th century.

What management interface is that though and is it part of the OS? What OS are you using anyway?

I originally got the info from a tiktok. It appears that while that meaning is correct it’s not the primary meaning of the term. I would have thought that leftist tiktokers would do at least some research before releasing a video but I guess not.
