IVPN don't allow port forwarding either.

I realise port forwarding is something lots of people want but the reasons are nothing to do with privacy. Mullvad remains, in my opinion, the best solution for those whose priority is privacy.

I've yet to find something more straightforward to use than Destiny.

Yep it is.

Thatcher did the same over here. Called it 'Care in the Community' which translates as 'Vastly increasing the at risk and vulnerable unhoused population'.

Jesus christ.

"I’m from India and the word “commie” in my country is referred as a far left,"

Communism is its own thing. Whilst its not exactly inaccurate to describe it as far left, there are also lots of far left people who are not Communists.

"Why? Do they ban you if you fight like a redditor in the comments?"

That depends on the Community (subreddit) you're in and the instance you're using. They might, they might not. But the reason I said it is because people joining Lemmy solely in order to get into fights with people is not what Lemmy needs.

Tenacity is a decent (not perfect) Audacity replacement.

Lemmy is a piece of software. Its two main developers are communists. The software runs on many different servers (instances) that are mostly not communist and the two developers do not enforce any political ideology on the use or users of Lemmy (and couldn't even if they wanted to, which they clearly don't). There are two or three instances that are communist.

That said, if you're from the USA I'd hazard a guess that the word 'commie' to you is probably a person slightly to the left of Bill Clinton. At the moment, the entirety of Lemmy does lean slightly left and is generally progressive which is a refreshing change to the constant brain numbing right wing shitholes most mainstream social media sites are.

I'd urge you to not go looking for a fight. Just ignore, block and move on. This isn't reddit.

I think, as well as the issues you mention, another issue might possibly be duplication. Historically, search engines penalise duplicated content, even across different domains and federation kind of bakes that in.

Some excellent suggestions in here already but I'll add Lois McMaster Bujold's brilliant World of the Five Gods series. She says they can be read in any order you like but I read the Curse of Chalion then Paladin of Souls, then The Hallowed Hunt then all the other 'Penric' related novellas - so publication order in other words. The series won a Hugo award a few years ago.

Edit: if anyone is looking to fill the Fitz shaped hole in their lives, Curse of Chalion is particularly good.

She is a successful author. She's never been a great author. Great authors know how to write with originality and imagination. JKR merely took a handful of fantasy and British empire tropes, put them in a blender with ideas 'inspired' by vastly better writers and with the help of a PR team, created a marketable franchise.

Along the way, she became consumed by an utterly irrational hatred which is now creating a horrific world for the people she targeted with her marketing money.

Irrelevancy, thy name is Truss.

Equally strong probably but I'd assume a bear is faster and more aggressive. Also has a set of steak knives on each paw.

You've got to let him find his own way. Please don't take this as overly-critical but you do come off as sounding more like his parent than his partner. I totally get wanting to make things as easy as possible for him but you can still do that if you're a year ahead of him. And he gets the opportunity to find his feet by himself - I'm sure he'd ask you if he needed help and you giving him space also tells him that you believe in him.

But its impossible to not notice! Or find aggravating!

Let me guess - you think Elon was saying 'from my heart to yours', right?

It's where they store the chemtrails before putting them in planes.

Probably been tariffed by Trump.

Redundant question when the government have just announced they're taking money from disabled people but are considering not taxing huge tech orgs.

Each instance usually (but not always) represents a cultural group so if one group considers themselves unsafe around a different cultural group defederation is a good way to protect their users. Thats not breaking the intent of federation but a usable feature of it There's nothing to stop any user who feels stymied by their home instances federation policy from either creating a second account elsewhere or moving their existing one.
