I'm sure there will be ways around it. Mods can automod-delete every comment, change the rules of the sub to only allow posts of nonsense, or nit moderate at all.

The main problem is that protests don't succeed at reddit because people like moderating for free for some reason. Strangely Reddit has more leverage over mods than mods have over reddit.

yeah, the only problem is that this results in the best talent leaving, you're stuck with people who have nowhere else to go. it's one of those short-term profits kinda things, which is why Wall St loves it so much.

That's stupid.

The main problem with lemmy now is adoption, there isn't a critical mass of users yet.

When users see the stats without lemmy.world, they'll be discouraged from joining. Add to that the issues with federation and the few who join will leave because of the steep learning curve.

Way to alienate potential users.

I tried switching to Linux many years ago (forgot what distro). It was hell.

I don't remember the specifics anymore, but I remember encountering issues almost every step of the way. Driver support, not being able to find the right buttons, etc. Searching for fixes usually led me down a rabbit hole of "oh cool this user on this forum said in another thread that I just need to install Gobbledegook... But what is it and how do I install it?" and of course a bunch of things require CLI which I'm not fantastic at. Unfortunately I gave up after a week.

Compared to that, Windows really "just works". I have had my share of frustrations, but it's usually with stuff that's comparatively an edge case when compared to the problems I had with Linux. I don't like that I'm giving money/data to a megacorp, but the price of that is convenience. I don't churn my own butter, I don't build my own car, I don't want to think too much about how my OS works under the hood.

"Women are the best, folks. Many people say that I hate women but I really don't. Trust me when I say I love women's rights. I love their right to dress sexy, I love their right to wear bikinis."

Yeah why do they have weird fantasies about going into deep cover to... Attend a public event and hear a speech that's broadcast live everywhere? Lol

If you get a super disabled parking tag, you can push away cars with disabled tags from disabled parking lots and use it yourself

This just means they're a struggling company who needs to cut headcount and want to do it without paying severance

Tipping culture is broken. We should end the actual practice of tipping and bake tips into the actual prices of stuff.

"during whatever that was" 😂😂😂

They are killing it with their sass

 

There's a certain cheesiness and non-political-correctness that's refreshing.

Also discovered a few mods like Shockwave that I wanna try.

 

According to Israel, the two Hamas and Fatah members who were killed were responsible for dozens of shooting attacks and planned to carry out more in Israeli territory

 

A 23-year-old German-Israeli woman who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival by Hamas militants on October 7 has been declared dead, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said.

“We are devastated to share that the body of 23 year old German-Israeli Shani (Louk) was found and identified,” the ministry posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.

A source involved with her identification told CNN Louk’s death was announced after forensic examiners found a bone fragment from her skull.

 

Hollywood scribes initiated a work stoppage in early May as negotiations broke down with studios including Disney, Paramount, Universal and Warner Bros. Discovery.
