If not for gaming, I would run Linux. Linux on gaming just isn't on par yet.

A person you fired can't be poached.

It's pretty clever, though, isn't it? On Zuckerberg's part.

From personal use, I can tell you that the featureset is just not there. You can't even sort by followed accounts only, or get chronological updates. It's a hot turd sandwich.

No. What I meant to say is that native English speakers in the Bronx have poor literacy rates.

Made me think of A Clockwork Orange.

Telegram chats aren't e2ee by default. You're essentially putting your chats on a server owned by a rich Russian person as a hobby.

If you think the problem is in the countryside, you've never been to New York City, and particularly the Bronx.

Probably a combination of flat out retards and recent immigrants for whom English is a second language.

What happened with exploding heads?

But just as a side note, a user can block an entire instance as well, at least on Mastodon. I haven't checked for that functionality on Lemmy. That's not defederation, but it prevents you from seeing things you don't want to at the user level.

You can't keep them out, but you can choose not to Federate with them. They can't take over. That's the point of having independent federated servers.

This sets out my own thoughts on the situation as well. Thanks for posting.

There's a contradiction here. The Supreme Court ruled that Speech can't be compelled, not that you could bar certain people from a business. You could decline to decorate a cake with "MAGA", but not decline to sell a cake to a Republican, for example. What those signs are promoting is still illegal.

I wonder if that was intentional on the instance owner's part?

Good. Serves 'em right.

It's because the 2024 election is coming up.

I had that exact conversation at work a few days ago. Someone was insisting that Spaniards are Latino, so I asked them if Spain is in Latin America or Europe. That was the key to them eventually figuring it out.

Your job might have keyed it that way to meet diversity quotas. Don’t rock the boat unless someone else brings it up first.

That’s an exercise in futility. If Lemmy takes off like Mastodon/Pleroma/Misskey/etc then you would spend your time trying to create accounts on hundreds of Lemmys, some of which will be private or invite only meaning you can’t. Plus, anyone on Mastodon etc. can comment on Lemmy posts. It’s not a task you can complete.
