Gosh I didn’t realize that all computers use Linux now.

Dear landlubbers: it’s very obviously a buoy.

Good. I hope they never come back. Theater is better when it’s local and in person, and everything coming out of the machine for the last twenty years has been total garbage.

Meanwhile, Americans are slowly starving to death.

Lack of patience and/or unwillingness to learn are what I see as the primary challenges to Linux adoption, and it can be addressed by leaving those kind of people to their own devices.

They’re hiring freelancers in the meantime.

Nope.

Wow. Who could’ve seen this coming?

Or as Captain Ahab would say, “I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I’ll go to it laughing.”

Better, oh yeah? Try blocking a community on it! ;)

I don’t understand having a special app to browse a single website, but to each their own.

Making money to pay my bills.

Birth is a death sentence.

If someone can’t find the big “Block community” button, maybe duct tape over the eyes is more suitable for them.

This is where I’m out. Certain Marxists’ inability to innovate new pro-Marxist religions, where they instead seek to eradicate or control all religion, is why Marxism will never be globally realized as a political ideology. Ever. Religious thinking is inherent to human consciousness, and Marxism’s oppression of religion unifies the entire world against Marxist regimes, all other ideals be damned.

Good points all around. We’re all coming to this experience with different preferences. It makes sense to participate in each individual community if you find them valuable due to their different types of moderation and if you don’t mind having to register and operate under separate accounts to do so. I feel very differently from you on this. I prefer to moderate myself and curate my own forum experience, and I don’t place a high value on thoroughly moderated forums that are disconnected from other platforms. That’s basically what Reddit was, but a lot of Lemmy users maintain a presence there as well, and they should feel free to do whatever they want.

The way I see it, the fediverse itself is the conversational arena, not any particular community within the fediverse. Communities limited to a single instance shouldn’t have primacy, because some of those instances don’t even want their communities open to certain other instances on the fediverse. Since some of the biggest communities keep defederating each other over petty moderator politics, it’s absolutely a good thing that the the fediverse has multiple communities for the same topic, or even with the same name. As long as you’re on an instance that doesn’t defederate other instances, you’ll see them all and can interact on them from a single account. More than that though, people wielding too much centralized power always turn out to be dicks, so anything that maintains decentralization of power is good.

I drove through Nebraska from east to west, and the entire state felt like a slaughterhouse. Never had the creeps so bad in my life.

Thank you. I’m going to research into this more, and I’m not above blocking every lemmy.world community as well. Seems like the biggest instances are the ones with the most uptight powermods. That’s to be expected. What was their reasoning for defederating from lemmygrad.ml and the other “tankie” instances- do you know?
