You can call anything a pizza if you want. It becomes a useful term if it's commonly understood by your audience.

Would also like to know this. The communication is terrible. Is @20cx12@lemmy.world part of feddit.uk or separate? This is what I meant when I said it should be "well and truly distanced" from this instance. Somebody else needs to set up the UK instance, not be reliant on what ever Flaky Tom decrees. I'm not in the position to step up, and perhaps nobody is - but please could people honestly communicate that so we can look for alternatives?

No judgement but here in the UK this is more like what we'd call a flan than a pizza or a pie. So instead of arguing about pizzas and pies, why not embrace a third category?

I feel like I gently warned about this during the process, relying on an inactive admin always seemed like a bad idea. I hoped it was taken care of and that somebody else was assigned console access but no assurance was provided, no explanation as to what the actual situation was, so I left here for another instance. Turns out my fears were true and I'm glad I didn't waste any more time here.

I have no idea why folk were so eager for Tom to turn back up again, why that was a source of any delay, or any reason to change plans for "Quackhouse" once they were in advanced stages.

I feel like all this has really crushed what was a promising UK community on Lemmy, a double-blow now, and I hope any new instance that appears is well and truly distanced from this one.

Yes. I never claimed it was better than staying, I said right there "brexit was a bad idea but" - it was always going to be worse than staying but it didn't need to be the unmitigated disaster that it was - that was the government's fault.

How could Brexit have gone better? Open borders, customs union, staying in the single market.

Do we have to only do it one day a year?

Unfortunately, in case you're unfamiliar with UK politics, making life as miserable as possible is the whole government's thing at the moment and the majority don't support them. Please do not call us stupid fucks though, we are their victims, perhaps figure out how to send help, get us invaded, anything to get rid of them.

If you're talking ethics, I think the most important thing is that the user controls what their software does. YouTube videos are hosted on the web, and fundamentally people can choose how to display web sites on their own computer. Of course, if YouTube doesn't like this it's their prerogative to not host their content like that.

It's not an ad-blocker, it's a wide-spectrum content blocker which is necessary for security.
