[Removed by Reddit]
Been a minute since I've seen that. And that's actually one huge advantage of the Fediverse. There can't be a [Removed by Lemmy] because 'Lemmy' is a federation of servers with their own rules and regulations and aren't even all based in the USA. And if any server starts these shenanigans, you can just move to another.
Although I do wish that profiles and comment history could be preserved from one server to another. That's basically the last piece of the puzzle that would give the user a completely a completely free experience.
so many users continue to shill for such decisions
I think that something that a lot of people need to be reminded of here, especially ex Reddit moderators, is that the users have NEVER particularly been fans of the moderators. In fact the moderators on Reddit helped the admins bring Reddit to the point where it is now in the first place. Setting up automoderator to catch buzzwords out of context and make people's comments disappear without notice or a trace is just as fucking dodgy as the admins flagging the word "Luigi".
So no, it's not a surprise that moderators getting into trouble for not falling in line with the admins doesn't cause a mass exodus. Because most people don't give a fuck about the moderators and would be glad to see them gone. With the way they have been abusing automoderator over the years, it wouldn't make much of a difference if they were replaced by an automated system anyway.
So if you want people to come to Lemmy, stop acting like they give a shit about the moderator that treats them like dirt. Because that'll probably have the opposite effect. I know that it did on me when all the mods were crying about the API and their modding tools. Start offering more reasons for why USERS should come here.
[DISCUSSION] Harley Quinn - S05E08
- Poison Ivy has been kinda annoying me these last two episodes. But I guess your child dying is as good a time as any to act a bit out of character and do stupid shit.
- Honestly glad that Harley's father got killed. What a piece of shit. To him I say š.
- Starting to get the feeling that while all of this is going on, Lois is off somewhere trying to make contact with Superman. And that they're gonna arrive in the 11th hour to turn the tides.
Just fyi, you would probably be better off posting stuff about Reddit in !reddit@lemmy.world if you want to keep what is left of your patience and sanity. On these smaller indie platforms, there tend to be a lot of people around who make the fact that they use these platforms a part of their personality, so they take personal offense if anyone mentions one of the evil platforms for any reason.
Do people think that the more specific labels and variations are the reason for the hate? Because as someone who only actually started looking up terminology and familiarising myself with the people late in life, and has walked amongst closed minded conservative people, they don't know or care about anything outside of 'gay' or 'trans'. Even non-binary is an alien concept to most.
It doesn't matter what the label is or what the colours are, people who hate anything out of the norm are going to hate anything out of the norm regardless. Especially when they've been raised in a religion that teaches them from childhood that anyone out of the norm is going to burn and suffer for eternity. They don't do research so that they know what they're talking about and they don't bother to ever actually get to know any of the people they claim to hate. They just like to hate.
If they weren't going after trans people right now, they would be going after gay people. And you can bet that's next anyway. Have people already forgotten how gay people were treated before trans people were the target?
To me it would make much more sense if this was the other way around. In other words, healthy men having higher sperm counts, not higher sperm counts leading to healthy men. Because you the way this study is framed, you could also link heart health to average lifespans.
BREAKING NEWS: A MAGA is a hypocrite and a liar. More at 10..
Just fyi, if you want the actual hashtag to show up, you need to put a backslash ( before it.
Personally, I fucking hate when markup only requires one symbol because it means you need to add a fucking backslash every time you actually want to legitimately use that symbol. And it's kinda anti user because people who aren't that clued up about how the markdown works are going to be wanting to make their posts in a particular way and end up with weird unexpected shit like bolding and resizing. I hate it. It should at the very least require a hashtag on either side of what you want to resize.
Just another question. How long is delivery to remote servers supposed to take.? Because something that I posted this morning, listed as 8 hours ago, still has a little hourglass symbol with the tooltip "delivery to remote servers is pending 0/1".
Edit: also, I've had two 'likes' so far and zero notifications about them.
The way I see it, is that the rules and aim of the instance are all written out pretty fucking clearly and people on a platform dominated by longform text don't really have an excuse for not being able to comprehend it. Like seriously, I had been using Lemmy for two days when I checked out BlƄhaj, and I feel like I understood then already because it's not hard and English is my native language.
So that said, when I see people complaining about it, I think they're either fucking stupid, or they're probably these 'free speech' people that want the right to go around insulting everyone without consequences (while doing the most epic pearl clutching the moment anyone insults them).
As far as I'm concerned, moderators and admins doing exactly what is clearly fucking written in the description and rules is not power abuse.
I've just noticed now that there are Lemmy communities in the Directory. Going to their 'profile' loads a page with that basically just has the description and sidebar contents of the community. And clicking on 'View Group' just leads to a 'Contact not found' page. So it looks a bit like you can follow / subscribe, but can only see posts from them in your feed and cannot browse the community directly. That's how it looks to me.
And I wasn't sure how else to test your suggestion but I made a test post with "!Friendica@lemmy.ca" in the text, which turned into a clickable link that just leads to https://lemmy.ca/c/friendica.
Lol I'm sure she says that somewhere in the show, maybe while they were strategizing with those figures of themselves. Can't remember 100% though.
move away from the dominance of small dollar donors
I'm not American, so I'm doing some guesswork here. But "dominance" and "small dollar" to me suggests that these are donations from the people (including the working class) that they're wanting to connect with. So to me, this sentence sounds like they're going to 100% embrace big corporate donors and leave the regular people out in the cold.
Interesting strategy.
I'll definitely check it out again then. As a dual booter (for now until I can't update Windows 10 anymore), cross platform is ideal but otherwise as close as possible is the next best thing.
Last time I checked out Notepadqq, it was nothing like Notepad++, if what you want from Notepad++ are the features. Maybe it's improved though. Personally I've found that with the right combination of settings and add-ons, the closest editors on Linux to Notepad++ are Geany (GTK) or Kate (KDE).
This is the problem for me and why I just stick with Firefox. There's only really two options and a bunch of sight alterations and reskins of those options. Three options if you use Apple I guess. And a few WiP Linux browsers based on webkit (I think) that haven't actually progressed all that much in a decade, last I checked.
So when the only two options are Google or Mozilla, I've just stuck with Mozilla. I actually am considering moving over to one of the forks now though. Even if it's just to send them a message.
Mozilla have been slowly but steadily turning to shit for years now. Long ago already, they became the kind of company that lays off workers in order to pay the CEO an unreasonable amount.
I think that the moment people should've seen as a turning point where Mozilla stopped giving a shit about the users was when they did all of those unpopular UI changes a while back (like removing compact mode). They used telemetry to justify these changes, while I'm sure they must've been aware that their "privacy focused browser" schtick probably attracts a lot of people who switch telemetry off. And even if they were that stupid, the over all reaction online to the changes should've been enough of a clue for them. But they still did it anyway.
UI changes might be small in the greater scheme of things but the UI is also what 90% of users base their experience on. So it just means that they do not give a flying fuck about the user base. And they're going to be slowly but surely enshitifying the browser whether anyone likes it or not.
From how I understand it, this first consultation with a general practitioner is for them to just gather basic information to pass on to the actual psychologist / psychiatrist. I'm doing this through government healthcare, not private, so I kinda have to go through the system this way first because I think there's just too many people coming through the system. So I'll just have to see how it goes as far as specialists etc. are concerned. I have heard that this side of our healthcare system is actually pretty good though, once you're out of the general hospital side of the process (I was expecting the opposite reputation in this country). So I'm holding out hope that this all goes smoothly. It's going to probably take a couple of months before anything concrete though.
Could be one of those that I saw this morning, I guess. In world. It was a 'reasonable' post complaining about Trump. I just block them as I see them now tbh. Even the_donald started as satire.
For the honour of grey whales!
