  • If they're willing to put them in jail then the state is already willing to pay for their housing and healthcare.

    I bet it's cheaper to build housing than keeping the same person in prison for a non-crime such as living rough.

    Oh wait there are some studies already

  • Not if you're a literalist exec that saw the creative and didn't think it was clear enough - "where's the target audience? How are they going to see themselves in this ad?, she's clearly out of our average user's league"

  • This is the real news and should be part of every headline - nearly 45% of the Republican party doesn't want Trump, in fact voted for someone that has very similar foreign policy views as Biden, that's not good news for Trump at all.

  • Most countries dislike people registered as tourists carrying products intended for commerce. In this instance it was intended for auctioning even with the proceedings going to a charitable org but maybe the German law doesn't make a distinction (it seems an edge case that possibly wouldn't have been codified).

  • Maybe some of that but my sense is that given how prescient FB has been on buying companies that grew to become staples, like WhatsApp and Instagram I would say what they're seeing here is something like the future of social media - even if tiny.

    Unfortunately they can't buy it, but they can do the next best thing: position themselves to take advantage of it, while in its infancy, and if possible control it while they can still throw their weight about before it takes off independently.

  • This is like inviting the Catholic church in an institution specifically built to protect former victims of same and similar institutions.

    Given that anyone can start an instance and federate with Threads, or join an instance that does, freedom of choice is unaffected.

  • They don't give a shit about any R34 artist. They'll give a lot of shit if you start to make money, or diminish their brand in any measurable way - aka become popular enough to affect public opinion.

  • I was an avid Reddit user but dropped it like a stone in the kerfuffle - it took a while but Lemmy has now replaced that 90%

    I'd love to see a content propagation analysis.

    My sense is that a ton of new memes are first shared on Lemmy then shared across to other social media.

    ..Ok, so the niche forums don't have critical mass yet, and you'd have to post to some general thread to get any response - but all the cool and thoughtful people are here, so the level of general discourse is higher, I love it.
