  • In theory, yes. In practice, no.

    The association between meaning and word is arbitrary, but socially dictated. You'd need to have other people accepting that that word conveys that meaning in at least some context.

  • Bluesky is too busy RP-ing as federated to be actually federated.

  • Urban Dictionary never ceases to amuse me!

    This reminds me 4chan /int/'s weird synonyms for country, from analysing the word as "cunt tree". Stuff like "vagina bush" and similar. Oddly enough everyone understood it, even when translated.

  • I'm probably creating a group to deface the largest government/country flag on the canvas, regardless of: which government it's associated with, screechers trying to boss us against it, "ackshyually you all should stop and define whut is a cuntry flag" sea lions, liars claiming that this is harassment or prejudice, muppets saying that I'm "welcome" to contribute to their used toilet paper on a pole "monument", so goes on.

    Additionally, I'll use an alt account to draw some stuff that I can't disclose here, because I kind of predict that pissed nationalists will ruin it as some petty revenge. It has zero to do with countries.

    "we" = anyone who joins the group. Potentially just me.

    EDIT: ah, I'll also be helping out with some drawings here and there, like I did last time.

  • [Bluesky] is in breach of EU regulations for not disclosing key details about the group [...] “All platforms in the EU . . . have to have a dedicated page on their website where it says how many users they have in the EU and where they are legally established,”

    The commission cannot regulate Bluesky directly as it does not yet reach the threshold of more than 45mn monthly users in the EU to be designated a very large online platform.

    So, basically: it isn't there yet because it isn't necessary yet.

    ...as suspicious as I am of Bluesky, the title of the article is kind of misleading.

  • I've added all of them to the list, thanks!

    Regarding !news@beehaw.org, now there's an alternative there.

  • It must be an app issue then. (Certainly not an instance issue, as Mothra is in the same instance as I do.)

    Just to be safe I'm going to convert the thing into a bullet points list.

  • Nah, there were just LG and .ml, as OpenStars said. Technically HB too but they didn't federate due to technical limitations.

  • That's weird - are you accessing lemmy through a browser, or some app?

    Check if it works here: !funny@sh.itjust.works

    If it does then it's the table interacting weirdly with the links, I can fix it by removing the table.

  • Only if it's lead acetate. You'd need vinegar or at least wine, not whisky.

  • Yup, they are both shitty, and grounds to remove an admin.

    However when it's a single event there's still the chance that it won't happen again, as the admin could regret it. There's still grounds for "this won't affect me, as a user, in the future".

    And when it's both, as you said, it gets even worse.

  • Ah, typical lemmy.ml . They have a hard time understanding that you can support a certain ideology without necessarily turning a blind eye to everything that people claim to be doing for the sake of said ideology, or that any criticism against their actions is automatically false.

    I remember you, by the way. You were already an old Lemmy user when I joined in, 3y ago!

  • It isn't a high mark, I agree. But while the "kill you are self lol." thing could be just an admin in a really shitty day, this lack of transparency is consistent behaviour.

  • Ah, they do it now? When I signed up there (~3y ago) there was no such thing.

    Anyway, it's still a problem because most users interacting with .ml content are from other instances.

  • Yeah, it should be easier to grow ten communities about the same topic than one.

    Yeah, because people don't totally cross-post stuff all the time, or subscribe to multiple comms around the same topic.

    If you want to grow other instances, do it with unique stuff, not stuff .world already has. It’s not like there no room left.

    If you're that pissed that I'm not listing .world comms, to the point of trying to boss me around (see emphasis on imperative), you can list yourself those comms. With blackjack and hookers.

    Do something other than trying to kill the dozen successful Lemmy communities we do have.

    Okay, full stop here. Cut off the crap - in no moment I'm trying to "kill" those communities in .world, and you're being a disingenuous liar (or worse, a bloody moron) for claiming otherwise.

    Not going to waste my time further with you.

  • It is not enough; it should be explicit. Users should be able to know the rules of an instance before they even interact with it.

  • Nobody is throwing eggs out. I'm recommending one basket instead of another, that's it.
