Reddit lounge was innocuous, and not at all the same. (Even if the basic mechanic is the same.)

You’re, please.
I really enjoyed the Reddit gold model. I paid them $30/year for many years because I got so much out of the site that I felt they deserved it. Their monetization was pretty innocuous.
Then the enshittification happened.
The US fostered this and the EU was happy to accept it. It worked out reasonably well for everyone until about checks watch right now.
The EU got to under fund and under prepare their military, and the US was effectively buying soft power and security around the world. It’s why the US able to basically unilaterally drag a coalition into Iraq.
Because we can’t do anything about it.
Europe needs to put boots on the ground in Ukraine. You need to stop this now.
Partly to stop the invasion of Europe. Partly to gear up Europe for war in the hopes of preventing a larger conflict later.
If there’s going to be a world war, I’d prefer to not be on the side of Russia and China.
Yeah, it might be low, but it’s not high.
Enough money that it’s a legitimate job on its own really helps. 300k is a reasonable number for that.
I never noticed how robotic those head turns are.
I agree. There should be impeachments related to DOGE.
It’s easy when your definitions of “fraud” is “anything I don’t personally like”.
Specifically, click this and search for a made up name. The goal is not to ddos. This is a useful site that we want to stay up. The goal is privacy. They’re not above using this data.
Tell your loved ones that if you are detained by ICE, they can try to use ICE’s online detainee locator to find you: https://locator.ice.gov/odls/#/search
It helps if you google (specifically Google) things immigrants might google. It hides hotspots on the map for search terms.
Because it’s the root of the problem and is important to be repeated constantly.
Congress took an oath to defend the Constitution. Let’s see who cares.
The news has to be extremely careful with accuracy, or they can be held liable.
Oh wait. That’s just for Nazi salutes and rape. If Trump “fires” President Macron tomorrow, the news can just print “Trump fires President of France”.
Lemmy.world is also the most reliable and the smoothest experience.
I strongly have the opposite opinion. Let people start on Lemmy.World and once they have experience (like you), they can move to where they want.
They’re an actual non-profit org out of the Netherlands with professional hosting.
Federation is a feature like divorce is a feature. It’s extremely important that it exists and is accessible. Not everybody needs to do it. Other servers are a fine option if you know what you’re doing and are willing to deal with more issues OR if there’s a compelling reason (such as the various regional servers).
When federation between lemm.ee and lemmy.world is behind by an hour or two, where do you think users will have a better experience? When 90% of their content is now a couple hours older, that’s a worse experience.
And spreading people out doesn’t really fix anything. It just puts more stress on federation technology. If you spread out all the users, Federation becomes a much harder to manage many to many relationship between all the servers, instead of primarily being a one to many relationship.
In short, if you spread out the users equally, suddenly every instance begins to have federation issues with each other, and everyone has a worse experience. With a bigger “main” instance, the majority of users are less affected by federation issues, and the issues are less common.
The regional servers have more of a balance here. 90% of their content may be old, but the 10% they are up to date with are the things closest to them, most important to them, and maybe in their language.
I do appreciate having several general use instances. I just don’t want to send newbies there who will generalize their experience to all of Lemmy and the Fediverse.
.ml would be worse than Reddit if they had the same number of users.
Welcome to America. By the way, it’s rude to talk about politics. And I’m not going to change my family’s mind, so I won’t bother.
My vote doesn’t matter, so I won’t show up at the polls, either. Something something Gaza, both sides, Pelosi bad.
We’re stuck in this together whether we individually had a choice or not. Regardless of what happens in four years, we’ve proven unreliable.
I’m so fucking tired of everyone blaming the Democrats.
Trump has a 46% approval rating. ** 46% of the American people support explicitly this. **
They don’t have the right to perform a coup without the consent of the people. And you, right now, are saying you don’t consent to their rule because they haven’t taken it by force. (What force?)
Are you aware of how unpopular any impeachment typically is? If his approval rating is 46%, impeachment won’t happen.
We’re going to have to wait for things to get bad enough that we all start to actually suffer in our lives, outside of just seeing it coming by reading the news.
Seeing the train isn’t enough. We have to wait for it to hit us.
