They want the engagement numbers. They're hoping those angry people log back in.

Wanna trade?

One meal a week is better. Eating meat daily is pretty bad.

In the US, the PACT law seems to apply. Unless they're eaten.

Most animal cruelty laws are at a state level, so you're going to have a lot of variance.

Where are savings rates higher than 4%?

I'll go sub over there too. I just want a community that's not on Reddit.

!League@lemmy.ml I've been doing my best, but it's mostly talking to myself.

Yeah, it's weird that people prefer democracy to dictatorship. Freedom of speech is pretty important too.

I have a lot of issues with capitalism, but that doesn't mean I'm ready to give up on democracy as a whole. And China has just about as many of those capitalism problems as we do.

Put 10k here. Make a free $1200 over those three years.

The plausible deniability is nice. Many places can see what domain you go to, but that's the only thing they can see.

I can't say I mind it either way. I don't mind that our instance blocks porn, but I'm glad there are some instances that don't.

I just blocked memes because it was taking up so much space.

We've decided long ago that bad people surviving is better than good people dying.

I looked up my exact quote, which isn't perfect, but a permanent ban seems kind of crazy.

It's not really lethal if you're vaccinated, especially if you're young.

I wouldn't downplay long Covid. And if I had to do it again, I'd change some things. But saying that once in an appropriate thread seems pretty innocuous to me.

I've been permanently banned from the League of Legends subreddit for saying a team that had caught Covid wouldn't die because they're young and vaccinated. In a post about them having caught Covid. And in response to someone calling it a fatal disease (which it can be for some, but really isn't if you're 20, vaccinated, and otherwise healthy).

Wasn't the oversight mostly blocked by house republicans, and then finished off by the administration?

Which is kind of mandatory for how they've designed Lemmy. If you share upvotes between instances, then you've gotta provide sources. Otherwise it's too easy for one instance to manipulate all the others.

You could not share upvotes between instances, but that would really damage small instances. Imagine going to a small instance and instead of the Reddit front page you get the Reddit new page.

Is it, though? It's intended to be a public forum either way. As the MPAA and RIAA should have learned, you can't really keep a public secret.

Using Discord just makes that transparent. You're absolutely being spied on, instead of jumping through a bunch of hoops to give yourselves false confidence that you're not being spied on.

Sure. It's an easy gotcha. But if you consider it a bit more it makes sense.

The US government as a whole, comparatively, are the good guys in this. The US government is pretty cautious and tends to shy away from spreading propaganda to its own people.

There are a lot of caveats there, absolutely. I'll get into some of those. But let's not pretend the US government is on par with the Russian or Chinese governments when it comes to social media propaganda.

The GOP being in bed with the Russians and collaboratively pushing narratives is not being done on behalf of the government. And I doubt whatever is happening at Elgin is targeting Americans.

It's probably ChatGPT.

I'm xenophobic because Putin doesn't care about Russian lives?
