I read 'incarcerated' at first and was concerned. Then I re-read the sentence, found that it read incinerated and my heart was at peace.

The UI isn't the problem? The attached screenshot shows people talking about federation. Federation is very confusing, but also the core part of how the Fediverse functions. The only thing you could to is to provide an entry portal, where all servers are categorized by the type of content they provide and you can check and uncheck the type of content you want or might want to interact with. Based on your choices, the portal could recommend a random Lemmy or Mbin instance that has a track record of being reliable and allows you to interact with most content of that type. So if you'd want to see porn for example, the portal should choose an instance that is federated with lemmynsfw.

Quite honestly, if you're that sick in the head that you'd kill two people to steal a baby, I question your right to live.

A bug? You mean someone in the office accidentially pressed the big red 'purge-everything-unholy-for-when-the-evangelicals-come-after-us' button?

'Make America Great Again' makes Brexit great again!

The DNC colluded to push Clinton/Biden, giving Bernie's challangers more publicity and promising other candidates positions if they drop out and endorse Clinton/Biden

The idea is that I'd recognize a compromised system. Not perfect, but good enough. I don't need to log into my bank account every day. But I will log into lemmy daily. So if a credential stealer + encrypter gets onto my system, I will most likely not have my sensitive passwords stolen. If the malware keeps a low profile, this won't help, but most malware won't.

My conspiracy theory: Meta has an AI that scans articles/the internet for threats and then adjusts the filters for Facebook. The AI just read the story that some Games companies are blocking Linux clients, because they see them as unsafe. The AI just copied what it read.

Well, I guess with so many people recommending syncthing, I'll have to look at it as well.

The share price does reflect the worth of the company in that a low share price will prevent companies from taking on loans to expand or keep operating. That was the whole idea behind the GameStop shorting saga. Also, the share price also benefits those that hold a majority of the shares. Musk is the richest man on earth because he holds the most Tesla shares. He can use the fact he owns these shares in order to take out loans with great conditions and to buy influence.

Netanyahu is obviously not building gas chambers to gas the jews, but he is overseeing exceptional brutality being done to a group of people, most of whom are innocent. Nazism isn't only about jews, it's about all minorities or other ethnicities than the own one more broadly. Apart from the jews, the Nazis also killed a lot of polish people and anyone they deemed 'deviant'. Just because 'Nazis killed jews' is the only piece of information that stuck to the cultural zeitgeist doesn't mean it's the only thing you should focus on when determining if someone is a Nazi or not.

You may not pay the company when you buy shares from another trader, but you buying the shares drives the price of the shares and with that it makes the company more valuable.

Lemmy.world is the most mainstream instance. You may find small instances that have more political center types, but for all the "issue" is that the fediverse is federated. So lemmy.ml users can comment on your post on lemmy.world as well.

Elon is so fucking insecure that he pushes out the one guy that basically has the same convictions as him. Only because the crowd that cheers for Elon the most has a problem with Vivek.

It sounds stupid. It fits prefectly.

Nothing about what I said is a straw-man, there are defined differences in admin level moderation which the mod team specifically stated.

Yes, there are defined differences. On blahaj, the admins are removing posts and comments that, by the mod-team's estimation, did not violate 196' rules. On .world, the admins promised not to.

where recently the admin team decided trolls are to be engaged with, where misogyny, transphobia, etc happens pretty regularly and doesnt “cross the line”

They adressed this in the OP, stating that the .world admin team was contacted prior and was allowing them to keep all their rules. So while .world as an instance may be as bad as you describe it here, the mod-team was planning on upholding the same rules that were upheld by the mod-team on blahaj.

Again, I'm not saying that their decision to move without consulting the community was good, far from it. But firing off straw-man arguments isn't helping your case.

But the community at large doesn't know what the moderators knew, so simply stating that the community agreed with the moderation of the admin team, when the community was largely to completely unaware of the differences between the admin- and the mod-team seems unjustified. Or did you know that the admins banned certain users for content that the mod team was fine with?

The issue, to me, seems to be that the community thought the admin- and mod-teams were on the same page, so the mod-team claiming that there have been differences with the admin-team, which prompted this move seemed extremely sussy. I'm not saying that the mod-team handled the situation great, or to be more precise, their move seems to be absolutely terrible, but the community doesn't know all the facts that lead to that decision.

Overall, I think that any mod or admin should use another account to post personal takes. Use the moderator account only for meration and post any personal takes on a personal account.

Since this was posted from a non-Lemmy/non-Mbin instance, I guess that the formatting works differently on their end. And Lemmy grabs the first line of posts without a title and makes that the title.
