Work is slow.
A lot of lighter fluid and a lighter works great too!
Goodbye stickers!.. and house…
When bodies deteriorate only the bones stick around. This is because only our fleshy goo travels to the afterlife.
Hell is filled with piles of goo people.
Pigeons were invented by Big Carwash.
The amount of power they have over the direction of Lemmy comes from the percentage of Lemmy users they have not the total user count.
When I was testing different browsers for personal use I was personally put off by the gamified crypto stuff when I just wanted a browser.
Yup and the girlfriend has 0 obligation to deal with it.
Do you not have an issue with the way America uses drone strikes or do you see a secret panel that I don’t see that excused other atrocities?
I think it’s society if architects played minecraft.
I completely understand why people would want a tighter instance. I started using Reddit significantly less awhile ago because a good chunk of the content and comments were either misinformed, malicious, or both. I’m hopeful that large instances can foster friendlier and healthier cultures, but right now I’m seeing so many people willing to make excuses for assholes and blaming the people that don’t want to deal with those assholes.
The platform allows for people to curate their instances into smaller communities if that is what they are after. They found the platform and for some reason people are mad at them for doing it. Their goal is to create a small safe and welcoming place. To do so they will inherently have a smaller community and that’s okay.
They are curating their instance in a particular way which is the very thing that the fediverse and lemmy allows for. Some people are butthurt that they aren’t included.
The slightly more detailed explanation is that there has been a big increase in bots and trolls and due to a lack of moderation tools they opted for defederating with instances that conflicted with their goal. That goal seems to be an easy going and tolerant community. By nature this goal means that it will be a smaller community and for some reason that has angered people.
Blocking indivuals, communities, and instances is helpful for the individual, but it does not deal with the root of the problem. Allowing a space for bigotry to grow.
This isn’t the same as people wanting to block your favorite hobby or something. I don’t think it’s a good thing to provide a space for bigots to share their ideas.
Facebook attempts to join- “We must stop this to prevent corporate power and growth.” Bigots join- “Let’s hear them out.”
Indivually blocking users, communities, and instances still allows those communities to grow. Saying, “if bigotry bothers you just don’t look at it,” does nothing to get to the root of the issue. The problem is not just that some people don’t want to see bigots. The problem is that we are allowing for a place that nurters the growth of bigots.
I think conspiracy theorists and nazis should feel persecuted.
I don’t think the answer is to give them a platform as if their ideas are somehow valid or worth discussing. To treat those ideas as equal to others is to elevate them.
I thought it was just his normal guy vibe without the shooting glasses. Pretty sure the hand in the pocket is common and I haven’t heard anything about a hilarious back story.
