You don't have to vote for Biden. In the primaries, vote for whoever you actually like. In the general, vote for the Democrats' candidate (however flawed they may be). In neither case are you obligated to frame it as voting for Biden as an individual.

You can do all that without force push. Just make a new branch and do the cleanup before the first push there. Allowing force push just invites disaster from junior developers who don't know what they're doing. If you want to clean up after them, that's your business, I guess.

Facts. Force push belongs in Star Wars, and nowhere else.

It's like poetry; it rhymes.

Agreed, it was pretty good until then. But the last paragraph is what made it a great take.

Neon Genesis Evangelion came out in 1995.

I got that too (I'm on Android/Firefox). I haven't found a way to remove it, but you can press and drag to move it around, so that it's at least out of the way.

Right, exactly what all store owners want. For potential customers to go somewhere else instead.

If he's young enough, he might be getting his safety net from parents or something. I could see this being viable part-time work for, e.g., college students.

"mfw": am I a joke to you?

Looks like Pixelfed is about 2%. Try Mastodon, I guess - it's listed as 72%.

EDIT: lol, I just did a quick search - apparently Instagram's monthly active user count is over two Billion. With a 'B'. Even with 10 million, it wouldn't compare.

Clicking through to the additional statistics is really interesting. The equivalent graph for Monthly Active Users shows a big bump in June/July 2023. That lines up with the reddit event, iirc. If those causality assumptions are accurate, it's neat how the numbers for total users is more affected by Twitter, but the numbers for active users is more affected by Reddit.

EDIT: nevermind, I didn't realize the timelines were different. The big Twitter exodus isn't actually in the second graph, so they can't be compared. It probably had a bigger impact there as well.

This is for the fediverse as a whole, not just Lemmy. If you click through, there's a pie chart that shows the vast majority of users are on Mastodon. Lemmy only accounts for about 4% of these numbers.

lol, same

New gender goals just dropped.

I'll be happy to adopt that mindset after the copyright holders do. 😂

lol, blähaj - blåhaj's foul bachelor cousin.

Mostly the same for me. I'd still be open to it if it's convenient, DRM-free, and easy to back up somewhere, but far less likely to put effort into finding out.

Ah, you think drama is your ally? You merely adopted the drama. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see serenity until I found out I wasn't a man, by then it was nothing to me but boring!

I'd just like to say that I really appreciate how this was handled.

In order to curate a space like this, it's important to address issues swiftly and decisively, and I would absolutely consider questionable behavior on the part of an instance admin to be a major issue. It's not really feasible to start a discussion with every instance, nor should you be required to - especially when it's not clear that such a discussion would be welcomed in good faith.

The 48 hour notice is an effective courtesy for local users, and in this case resulted in immediate improvements on the other instance, which would probably have lacked motivation without the impending defederation. And with the problem addressed, the defederation was just as swiftly rescinded.

Well done!
