In the commotion nobody’s brain would parse “that guy just threw coffee on a baby” because that’s not something you immediately consider

To many, federation is a solution to a problem that doesn’t really exist for them. In their mind, the early model of federation is like email, a problem that was “solved” years ago by having one corporate product that was much better than others (Gmail).
To add, on top of that, the fediverse is like if gmail could just randomly decide to stop receiving emails from outlook addresses and there’s nothing any user can do about it except make another email for when they want to email outlook users.
I don’t think fediverse proponents know just how catastrophically this terminates their entire pitch in the minds of 99% of internet users
I started on beehaw and moved here because they got too defederation-happy. I don’t want to post on an antisocial network, if I want to be alone with my thoughts I won’t go online at all. It’s a valid choice for them to make but I believe in Lemmy because I want a non-corporate non-evasive Reddit, which kinda needs lots of different communities.
Reddit is probably too big to completely disappear but if they keep isolating themselves from the rest of the internet they could easily lose mainstream appeal and end up more like a SomethingAwful
Ukraine is training with water guns in preparation.
It’s like a heavy assault golfcart
We just need a way to make it easy to seamlessly transfer both users and communities to another instance then it really won’t matter if one gets disproportionately large because a shutdown won’t affect anything. Ideally the inner workings should be as invisible to the end user as possible.
Same thing happened to me. 7-day ban evasion suspension instantly into a perma on three accounts at once all because a single subreddit mod threw a fit when I accidentally posted there again off r/all on an alt.
They were all made with the same email address so I could have easily made another alt by now and kept posting but I’ve taken it as an opportunity to do a Reddit detox
To me it feels like Reddit but before Reddit became so popular. That has both good and bad aspects, but overall I enjoy posting here.
Yup, every Reddit screw up is an opportunity to get more users here.
Prigozhin sobering up early is one of history’s big disappointments.
Figure skating is a dance. Hell, gymnastics is basically a dance as well.
Some parts of the world definitely do have to worry about the heat getting them. We’ve already seen wet bulb temperatures exceeding human habitability in places where millions live, and some recent studies have suggested that in the long run our metric for true human habitability may actually be too wide.
I was shocked at how often you just see people laying passed out on the sidewalk or sleeping on a bench. Japan is an insanely different place after the bars start closing. Was genuinely uneasy with how many people everywhere just had zero control of themselves.
