I imagine it should be prioritized though, along with some of the other malicious upload issue mitigation bugs.

Nah, he was just le tired and slept in.

Considering giving to any church 501©(3) themselves are considered “charitable donations” when it comes to taxes, this rings a little hollow. If you consider a church as a charity itself, and those churches are soliciting donations every week in services, of course you’re going to see higher charitable giving from areas with a lot of churches/religious. That said, my gripe is not with religious based charities, it’s with churches. Salvation Army can continue to do what it does, religious affiliated childrens hospitals, etc. The amount of money that is spent on congregations is just a waste and it’s a shame.

So do secular charities.

Just imagine what could have been done in the last 300 years if every dollar that was donated to churches went to some other cause, or back into the pockets of the masses. There is an immense amount of wealth that is trapped in the collective real estate, bank accounts, etc owned by churches. I’m not even talking about megachurches or the mormon’s giant stack of cash, just mom’n’pop little parishes that are everywhere across the US.

If ALL that money was still kicking around in the economy and in the pockets of people to spend on real things, building real businesses, etc…we’d be way better off.

Always makes me sad when I visit my in-laws who live in a particularly bible thumpy area and you go and there are spots there where churches outnumber normal businesses. It seems like it’s just a huge drain on the local economy devoting that much money into propping up churches of various kinds…

It’s…perfect. So beautiful.

Has there been any posts on this outside of discord? Anything we can do? It’s been noticable and I have an alt I can use when lemmy.world is down, but I didn’t even realize this was happening.

Sigh… You’re free to go sir. Have a nice evening Mr sovereign user.

Open, so that the air that gets pumped into my room can tell the Mr. Thermostat in the hall that it’s actually fine in there and they don’t need to call Mr. Furnace or Mrs. A/C.

Not while browsing on “All”, but this is easily remedied by maintaining a subscription list and browsing on “Subscribed”. Typically, porn is limited to specific communities which can just be not added to your subscription list.

go to the homepage: https://lemmy.world/

it’s on the section, bottom of the page. There are 4 links, 3 of them are different UIs:

https://status.lemmy.world/ - Lemmy World Status

https://a.lemmy.world - Alexandrite UI

https://m.lemmy.world - Voyager mobile UI

https://old.lemmy.world - A familiar UI

Yeah, I think this is the way things should move in the future. Have community vs user focuses on servers instead of having the same server get hit with both high community/comment usage and a server with lots of login/audit/user browsing requests. Servers with big communities could focus on stability and perfomance. Servers with users could focus on cool UIs and features for their users.

The beatings will continue until morale improves!

That’s a good and healthy way to approach this. Nicely put.

Bettering the world’s situation is a legislative/political issue. Bettering you and your immediate community is something you can help with, even if it’s only at the margins.

The problem with all this, however, is that there are a lot of the things that you can do to help your personal situation that are definitely not helping the overall situation. For example installing air conditioning, watering your lawn, etc. They might make things more comfortable for you, but they’re by no means better for the world. We still need to incentivize the right things through the right tax breaks and financial/industry incentives, which lead us back to politics being the actual thing that we need to make meaningful personal and global change possible.

They’re just advertising that they aren’t very good at driving and you should avoid being near them or parking next to them.

After reading this I’m thinking a kilt would work for me…

This comment is not like the others, lol.

Good on your manager.
