The people who develop lemmy get paid to do so, as stated by iirc Dessalines themselves.
I would put donating to those running instances at the highest priority, because without servers, we have nothing.
I was on reddit once, but now I’m not.
I’m also [email protected] and [email protected]

And we’d still have poultry and fish in the end.
Not the worst thing that a tick could be spreading at all.
Sure, but we have a huge chunk of the country inhabited mostly by tumbleweeds and people with less-than-awesome education. Plus, the concept of Area 51 has been around so long and has been so prolific it’s been constantly referenced in the mainstream, from Scooby-Doo to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.
I kinda miss when games had wacky version differences. While there was usually one definitive version compared to the rest, having a brand new experience to play by simply buying the same game elsewhere was actually nice to have in some cases.
Nowadays it’s just “oh, you bought Skyrim on Switch? Here’s some Legend of Zelda armor” and “Depending on which platform you’re playing HITMAN 3 (a singleplayer game) on, you get a suit with a differently colored undershirt!”
This is the 50s, I think it’d be pretty easy to draw a line from casual racism to white supremacists. A key difference this time is that it’s not just Germans led by one insane man, it’s instead a bunch of redneck prices and conspiracy theorists.
This is kinda why I wish we had user-level instance blocking, there aren’t any popular instances that match my preferred blocklist and I don’t want to have to go out and request federation for everything I want to see. For example, the top sites I don’t want to see are lemmy.ml, lemmygrad, and exploding-heads, and while beehaw gets all three, they also block instances I don’t find problematic like lemmy.world.
So I ended up on lemmy.world and manually block all the stuff I don’t want to see, but it’d be loads easier if I could just ask not to be shown content from instances I want to avoid.
When I’m at home sitting around thousands of dollars of gaming hardware, I’m going to use that.
When I’m out and about with less processing power, then I retro game.
In addition, even if the communities are built around the same content, not every instance is the same. I explicitly avoid lemmy.ml because I’ve seen them ban people for criticizing China’s government and discussing the genocide of the Uyghur people. As such, I appreciate having a lemmy.world variant of this community.
Oof, what a shitty article.
Edit: Like I’m just saying, Republicans have no place to talk regarding homelessness and trying to push politics here is pathetic. I live in Oklahoma, one of the most red states in the country, and I hate going to downtown Tulsa because I get constantly accosted by homeless people of varying sketch levels. The highways around here always have people begging for change on the offramps. We’re supposed to lock the breezeway doors at my job on the PM shifts way out because during winter we had homeless people hanging out in there to get out of the wind.
Like tell me more about how it’s a democrat problem when I give an actual solution and it gets turned down for being “socialism.”
Why not? kbin literally has an “activity” button that shows everyone who downvotes, it’s public info. Makes blocking morons a breeze because I can say something like “trans people are cool” and then get rid of everyone who gets angry about it.
If you’re scared of people knowing what you downvote, you might need to change your downvote habits.
No, federation means we all see the same content regardless of which site we sign up on with the exception of sites that yours may block.
But be wary that lemmy.ml is a tankie instance and the “.ml” stands for Marxism-Leninism. I generally avoid lemmy.ml communities so I don’t get banned for saying “the uyghur genocide is a real thing” or anything.
Considering this is a temporary measure, I imagine not. Lemmy.world has been under constant attacks as the #1 Lemmy instance and it’s not going to stop just because bots can’t get in automatically anymore.
