This might sound weird but there are a lot more assholes here than reddit.
On Reddit you can expect some percentage of the people to be assholes because some percentage of the population are assholes... but here, heaven forbid you go against the grain of the narrative.
As opposed to reddit, where most of the people are nice and some are assholes, here only some are nice and the majority are assholes.
And all you would have to do is look it up? This isn't a good argument. What is being gained here by posting about it? This isn't a secret. They aren't pulling a fast one over on you.
You know what would be great? If there was a way we could... I dunno... collate all of these kinds of posts into a kind of... group... where like minded people could... get together and talk about it. I wonder if someone like this could exist. What do you think?
Can we stop stickying these posts to the instance? We are super appreciative of the hard work you guys do, and you are super transparent. I personally trust you guys to make good decisions and this could be a support community sticky instead of an instance sticky.
This is exactly why having a couple of big instances is so beneficial. I don't want to have to manage the infrastructure of Lemmy. I don't want to think about banning instances for csam in particular. I want to be able to go to a place that has a set of rules I understand and that takes care of it for me.
Honestly, I don't think there needs to be a discussion about defederation anymore... maybe a non-stickied post... but the people who are against it need to leave / get over it. To the rest of us sane people, defederation is 100% an obvious necessity in an open social structure where things like csam even exists as a possibility. Even something as benign as bots is reason enough to defederate.
Just do it. We don't need to agonize over it or talk about it anymore. There are a lot of assholes in the world. I don't need to engage with them.
Obesity and poor diet together do increase the risk of T2. There is a hereditary aspect to it but T2 is 100% a result of lifestyle or other diseases. People don't spontaneously develop T2 diabetes without eating too much... and sugar is the primary cause of the metabolic imbalance that results in T2 diabetes. It's not fucking magic that the A1C level is tied directly to your sugar and simple carbohydrate intake.... it is literally the result of using carbohydrates as fuel for your body.
My argument directly engaged with the original post that game developers should be forced to open source their software. The analogy you made has nothing to do with open source software, it has to do with payment models...
Edit: and ops position doesn't make any claims about payment models...
Why would I need to elaborate on an argument I didn't make? I don't understand? I made my argument, if you don't understand it, I don't know what you don't understand?
