It was made because of the rampant harassment problem on twitter.

But I guess it’s counterproductive for companies. Because you want to scrutinise them.

Same on Bluesky actually. They can hide comments they don’t like in response to their posts.

This is even more ridiculous given they have a bluesky account and all they need to do is follow the bridge and their content will be ported to mastodon. Literally 5 seconds.

People were mad at the status quo. When times are shit, change can seem attractive.

Even if in reality the change presented by Trump only makes shit worse.

I’m sorry but are we really going to make an article whenever people worth millions donate 25k?

She apparently is worth about 10 million before she had a massive hit this summer according to The only source.

That means this donation is at the very most 1/400th of her wealth.

I’m worth 25k myself. So 1/400th of that is like if I donated 60 bucks.

The LW centralisation is really bad though. If LW goes authoritarian or dies à la feddit.de, it’s basically wiping out most major communities and a heavy proportion of all accounts.

Shame they chose LW, cool otherwise though!

not worry about money [to meet basic needs].

Everyone worries about money. But for an upper middle class person they’ll be worrying if they can afford to send their daughter to a private university or to afford an expensive trip — that’s not worrying about basic needs.

Just ad a general point

Centrist ≠ Neutral

Currently everything on lemmy will be slanted to one side. The problem is not the community, but lemmy’s userbase.

(I see it more as a good thing then I problem, as someone in a minority people to the right often believe should be effectively eradicated)

Yep!

There’s Nandos in Japan??

Yes, but someone worrying about property tax increasing so they might have to take economy instead of business class on their annual Bahamas holiday, is not the same kind of worrying as:

“Oh fuck if Trump cuts this program then I’ll have no choice but to crash at a friend’s place or live in my car”.

Minecraft sounds like a good choice — although lonely

I will literally use a software that’s way worse just so I don’t have to worry about my data being sold.

My reflex moving over was to subscribe to everything I’m interested in and never use all, because I’ve never used it on reddit.

This created a problem where since lemmy’s sorting all basically sort by most popular (except scaled but that sort is problematic for other reasons), I basically only saw the meme and news communities I subscribed to on my feed and the niche stuff never made it.

I know @Aurelius@lemmy.world is working on an algorithmic alternative !quiblr@lemmy.world but it’s not got support on any apps.

I guess “handicapped” can be used.

But they also banned the word “accessibility” so it’s basically impossible to do research on people with disabilities really.

It’s not DEI “language”

it’s literally a ban on people.

You can’t use the words “disability” or “disabled” anymore for example. That’s not banning DEI(A) language, just erasing a group of people.

I suck on calcium tablets like a reptile because I have early stage osteoporosis.
