Where to start with this? Didn’t Google just kill adblockers in Chrome?

Can’t wait until all those workers move to European based companies.

Sadly this is what happens on oversized instances. If your goal is to grow, you will foster the worst community spirit. It’s a shame that Blackbeard isn’t giving another instance a chance.

Doing a git clean is a dick move.

I didn’t say I wanted to lurk. I’m just saying I find beehaw’s Technology community more to my preference than LW’s

There’s plenty of communities where I have no interest in discussing things with the masses. I like smaller communities with thoughtful posters who care more about the subject matter than being heard. That’s the beauty of Lemmy. Not everything has to be perfect for everyone.

Sorry, I hate to be that guy, but since you’re dismissing the opinion of one of the people that designed the first decentralised social media protocol, I’m going to assume it’s because you’re better qualified to make the assessment. Can I ask, what are your qualifications?

I actually think it’s a societal issue rather than an intelligence issue. As a society we boost celebrities and put them on a pedestal almost deifying them. While at the same time we create a poisonous world and also ignore mental health. So of course people will follow celebrities like a religion hoping to bask in their glory at worst and change their life at best.

With Caitlyn, she should’ve faded to obscurity years ago and a better society would’ve ensured she needed for nothing. She should at least feel a sense of responsibility but again, capitalism is all about trampling on the weak and getting ahead.

Until we eradicate monetary wealth and support mental health as a matter of course at all levels, things like this will happen and people like this will thrive. We have to end capitalism for a better tomorrow.

It’s never okay to dead name. Even people you find despicable. Dead naming isn’t about them, it’s about you… like being polite to wait staff.

As they should. I hope they burn all data and figure out a way to function going forwards without storing any data

They don’t federate with my instance. I think the last time I ran into some of them was in a UK politics thread.

I honestly don’t believe they actually lied. I think they were being earnest and only claimed they were being manipulative when caught by hexbears to save face.

Having read everything that’s been linked here, I’m inclined to believe this.

I don’t know enough about Hexbear, my interactions with them in the communities I go to have been overwhelmingly positive. But I recognise the toxicity elsewhere. That said, the moderators and admins here were clearly on the right side and tried to make positive changes. It’s a shame there’s opposition to that.

Yup, Matter is just the evolution of ZigBee. It’s not where it needs to be but it’s going in the right direction.

I’m afraid there won’t be one replacement for WordPress, because it has so many applications. The pure blogging aspect could be substituted by Writefreely, more advanced users may go to Ghost, and I’m not sure what small business and corporate websites will turn to?

I think this is probably the best solution. All the power shouldn’t be centralised.

A healthy sized update. Fantastic work everyone.

What’s so good about PieFed?

Same

I predict it will be dog shit

This, I’m not the target audience, so there’s the issue. Uzi makes dance music rather than Hip-Hop in my mind. I’ll try and find a gem or two though.

I ain’t listened yet. Will go through it later and come back to you.
