asking if they subscribe to other myth based beliefs, religions, etc
What you actually said:
Out of interest are you religious or subject to some other form of mythical belief system? I ask because clearly you lack motivation for the truth, preferring hearsay and urban legend that I must assume supports a wider world view. by @Hackerman_uwu
My thought: this kind of behaviour is one of things that made Reddit fucking awful and I’d hate to see it flourish here in the fediverse.
So, it’s basically 4chans all the way down.
Nominally, you’d need to go through some request process to request federation with other large instances. Then they’d vet your configuration before adding you.
An online cafe dedicated to harvesting baby seal fur SEEMED like a good idea…
The famous example you’re thinking of is Jimmy Snyder, aka Jimmy the Greek, a sports commentator and sports betting expert who used to work for CBS sports. He was interviewed as part of a series about civil rights in the US, and the interviewer was sort of expecting him to say something pleasant about black folks’ success in athletics opening doors for education and leadership, etc.
Instead he made some pretty astonishing claims that were intensely racist.
California, actually. Although that’s probably worse.
I would proudly stink of back-bacon and maple syrup, if given the opportunity.
What would “discrimination” look like in a reddit-like link sharing service?
I’m not even sure what that word would imply in a discussion forum. It usually applies to things like wages, job opportnities, access, etc.
Something something Stallman was right (about this specific thing, anyway).
beehaw.org – a lemmy instance specifically geared toward quality discussion and keeping everybody nice to each other – has basically been told by Lemmy devs that the moderation tools they want and need just aren’t in the roadmap, and they’ll need to fork and develop their own version.
That’s an incredibly disheartening attitude.
I think the big challenge right now is sustaining growth. I don’t think many reddit refugees are paying for their fediverse services.
I support dessalines on Patreon, but I don’t really know what else I should be doing. I think that folks who want to run these services need to figure out how to charge money for it, or they won’t be able to buy infrastructure or network bandwidth.

Oh goody. There’s a RickRussell_CA@lemm.ee and it’s not me. And it’s using one of my older profile pictures.
EDIT: 2023/8/29 update – I posted to the lemm.ee support community and the admins decided to disable the account. Well done!
I like pixelfed.social, but I’m an admittedly “lite” user of Instagram, don’t really post my own stuff, just use it to find interesting photos. It’s been good for that.
Walk it off, Snowflaknov!
US Virgin Islands: nah we’re good
I guess they had an epiphany.
As someone who has geeked out on fonts since we were trading bitmap fonts for System 5 on the Mac, I can say that article is fine. Believe it or not, all of that actually matters to graphic design/text design people.
Did you enjoy your core download journey?
I don’t quite get the complaints. Sync (non-Pro) was always ad supported. Nothing has changed.
LJ Dawson is charging more for “Ultra” features (understandable, since this whole reddit kerfuffle has upset his business model), but you don’t need Ultra to enjoy the Sync client, and you don’t even need to pay that higher price to disable ads.
Well, the real YSK is that memory and expansion cards have distinctive positions they should take within each slot, with a detente that holds them in place. Your system will only work reliably if the devices are fully seated.
When you first assemble the system, plug and unplug each item several times so you get the feel of it. There will always be a distinct detente when the device is fully seated. It’s a lot easier to do this exercise with everything out on the bench, rather than mounted in the case when it will be a stone cold bee-atch to reach in and reseat the parts.
