No, not really. Only some parts of the english-speaking world use FPTP and it's not that common to have only 2 choices unless you have that system.

Isn't that quite normal even in other countries? I believe we do it quite commonly in Denmark.

Townhalls are weird.

Town halls? As in the building or does this mean something else? Aren't town halls quite common and normal elsewhere?

Flags everywhere is weird.

We kinda do this in Denmark too tbh. I personally don't find it that weird due to that.

most of the cost of [anything] goes to publishers, not the creators

My edit obviously. It does feel like that though. I pay Netflix, not the people making the movie. For games it is at least a bit better - I pay Valve (Steam) and the publisher but at least some of it goes directly to the devs. But it could be better still I suppose. But I'd honestly be okay if we got a Steam-like platform for series and movies where I could buy the ones I want without any subscriptions.

Uh, how? I mean you'd need to make it legal I feel like. But that's never going to happen and I honestly don't think that's fair either. If piracy is legal, how would content creators actually be paid?

I get the sentiment but this is not really an option most of the time if you want to stick with lawful methods. For instance, I cannot watch most movies or TV series these days without a subscription to some service.

I started and almost finished The Forgotten City. It's really good, if you like mystery.

I remember to have read that they have found something written in Java

You're talking about Sublinks and it has yet to reach a usable state. It doesn't seem like development is going particularly fast.

lemmy has multiple implementations already

No it doesn't? There is only one Lemmy implementation. There are some similar alternatives like PieFed and Mbin but those are separate implementations and are not in any way related to Lemmy, aside from using the same ActivityPub extensions.

There is really no such thing as a "platform type" - it's all ActvityPub under the hood.

I just block most political comms, I don't see too much of it I would say.

... what would the metric unit be? 🤔

A big one is "How does an instance change their underlying implementation?". Like how could a lemmy instance decide to migrate to become a Mastodon instance?

Currently that's just not possible, but it seems important for the long term survival of an instance. It seems naive to think that an instance will stay the same implementation forever. But ActivityPub basically makes this impossible.

As long as the reason for the ban says that it was personally requested, then I don't see why it would be a bad thing. Obviously being banned from another instance for legitimate reasons is a cause for concern and could lead to trouble in your own instance, but if it is clear that it was only because you requested it yourself, then it's fine.

You should just switch to an instance that defederate those instances, or convince your current instance to do so.

User blocking merely blocks their communities. You'll still see comments from the instance and you'll still see posts in other communities from their users. You'll also still have their votes influence your feed.

Defederation is the more proper tool to use. Individual user blocking is not effective.

You mean you personally blocked them? You need to actually be on an instance that defederates them for it to mean anything. User blocking hardly does anything, it just hides communities from that instance, that's all it does.

You really should join an instance that defederates from those instances. That is the way to actually "vote" on the fediverse, not via simple user blocking that doesn't actually achieve what you think it does, as the other reply points out.

I mean, lead them to instances that defederate hexbear for starters? Seems reasonable anyway.

Sounds hollow coming from an instance that doesn't even defederate hexbear.

Getting fired with cause doesn’t come with severance

Yea this is fucked and needs to be fixed.
