Not at all. We actually block the offending instance.

There's a way to embed a map in the article itself. See The Maps for Wikipedia page for information on how to do that.

Otherwise I am unaware of a tool that allows for a PNG or SVG export or OSM data.

I know they had a word block list but I'm unsure if it's still around.

I just realized FF didn't have a built in translator a week ago. Excited to see it come!

Drive throughs are the real evil here.

You're right. Here's the archive link: https://archive.ph/kXZft

They go to nearly everyone.

If I on instance a report a post on instance b made by a user on instance c, all three instances' admins will receive the report, as well as the community on instance b.

It's kind of a mess, and definitely overkill.

It looks like someone posted a bunch of posts (all at once) to the !gundeals community. Its not ads, just an individual posting a bit too much.

This shit is why we need a Right to Privacy. Every person should have the right to be private from the eyes of the state. Our (American) constitution forbids the state from unwarranted search and seizure, quartering of troops, enacting or dictating religion, censoring your speech and expression, and stopping peaceful assemblies.

Instead of saying "Privacy is sacred", we have a mess of individual rights, which when taken together, spell out a right to privacy. We need to fix this mess, because the bandaid of the courts can't and won't.

While we're at it, ban SUVs and Light Trucks, by making a separate licence for them. If you need one for work? Or for personal use? Get a license that proves you know how to use one.

SUVs and Light trucks have done so much damage to our society: both by being dangerous as fuck, and in the insane amounts of pollution that emit. It's about time the United States, and any other country that hasn't yet, apply bandage to the wound. Slow the bleeding. Then the healing can begin.

That's right. !Gaming@lemmy.ml is different from !Gaming@beehaw.org

Note that you can use your same account to subscribe to both of them, as one may be more active than the other. Feel free to pick one or both it doesn't really matter. Different websites/servers have slightly different rules and different culture, so the posts and comments will be slightly different community to community.
