I did this. I didn't initially realize there is such a thing as instances (I thought I was joining Lemmy). Came from Reddit so didn't expect this. Now I only use my Lemmy.world account, the other one is doing nothing (should probably get around deleting it at some point).

Outright lying about the numbers is very different from just not allowing downvotes though.

Sometimes I think driving licenses should require regular revalidation in the form of a driving retest. People acquire bad habits and begin to ignore rules, people age as in this case and their abilities are no longer up to the standard they were when they got the license. Doing this every 5 years and maybe reducing it to every 2 years once over 70 or some such.

Yeah it would require congressional approval. But that's not beyond the realm of possibility as there is bipartisan support for Taiwan in the Congress.

I'm doubtful that it would trigger a major conflict. More likely China would express public outrage but not do anything about it. But it has to be done swiftly so they don't have time to react before it's in force.

If we're really learning from mistakes in Ukraine then Taiwan should be recognised as an independent country and admitted into a formal alliance. Not admitting Ukraine into NATO was the mistake we made there and it's being repeated in Taiwan.

He's afraid Prigozhin will run.

Chinese government nowadays is just as fascist as Mussolini was back in the day. Revanchist and extremely nationalistic tendencies are strong. They think they are the future superpower and are salivating at the thought of oppressing the entire world under their yoke. I'll take that they call "US hegemony" over the Chinese oppression any day, don't need to think about it.

This has been the exact same story for decades. Linux is great for certain professional endeavours/for work, but it doesn't really have the ecosystem for gaming that exists on Windows. You can run Linux from inside Windows if you just need a few applications. But sadly, beyond a few publishers who make their games Linux compatible, if you want to game without hassle then Windows is your best bet.

Yeah Reddit won but the Reddit users lost. Lost access to awesome apps most of all. I personally think it's fair for Reddit to charge for API access but it seems hardheaded to charge orders or magnitude more per user than they make on their own platform through advertising. I currently only use Reddit on desktop because I'm not going to use their crappy official app. Indeed I lost out, congrats Spez on your victory. In the meantime I'm on Lemmy more than I used to be and I hardly ever comment on Reddit posts anymore.

If he keeps going like that, Uncle Sam might soon throw in free room and board for him.

Thanks for the tip

China never imposes its will on other countries, nor does it slip any selfish geopolitical agenda into the initiative

Hahahaha. Sure. Except when they cancel trade deals with Australia and bully small European countries. I'm SURE this is just free money out of the goodness of dictator Xi's heart.

Somebody should make an app that uses the anonymous Reddit JSON API to copy the popular Reddit posts and post them over here.

Tried sync and seems pretty good so far. In the absence of RIF.

That's really interesting. How do we know this?

Joined yesterday coming here from Reddit. My favourite app no longer works (Reddit is fun) and I just can't get myself to use the official app. Lemmy seems pretty cool so far, only missing a few subs that were not super large on Reddit but are not really viable here due to a small number of users. Hopefully that will change if the number of users keeps growing so fast.

Lemmy is Fun? 👍

If you aren't being downvoted on UnpopularOpinion then it's not really an unpopular opinion.

Now we just need Reddit is Fun for Lemmy.
