You are allowed to discuss piracy. You aren’t allowed to facilitate piracy (I.e. providing links to pirated content). It is illegal in the country where this instance is hosted.
These are all me:
I control the following bots:

You will find that very often the scams, advice, self-help, doctrine, etc that draw these populations have one thing in common: if whatever it is doesn’t work, it is because you are doing it wrong, not because the guidance is bad. That’s why conservatives will defend the tax rates of people who have 5 orders of magnitude more wealth than they do - they believe that it is their own fault they aren’t rich, and that anyone can become rich if they just try hard enough. It is why religious conservatives will still attack birth control in the face of their own kids having unwanted pregnancies. It is why natural medicine people will defend their practices even after it sends them to the hospital. They are more willing to believe that they themselves are at fault than the principles they believe in.
The Protestant Work Ethic equated Christian values with material success.
I think having a 300 year life span would tend to select for darker skin and possibly other traits that would better survive 300 years of exposure - enough to distinguish it from any existing ethnicity.
It is fairly common among Catholics. I’ve known some fairly progressive Catholics who are Republicans because abortion. Now, that isn’t to say that a good number haven’t bought into the divisive rhetoric and gone full maga, but that’s not where they started.
It is a wedge issue that has locked a portion of the population who are single issue voters into being Republicans despite literally all their other beliefs. That is basically what all the non-financial planks of the Republican platform have in common.
Call me when you get past the “first step” where Reddit controlled NFTs somehow make communities independent from Reddit.
If the mods can agree on policy, there is absolutely no reason to have two communities. Shut one down and use the other.
Edit: can someone explain to me what the difference between synchronizing two communities and subscribing to a federated community is? I mean, that’s exactly the point of federation.
No, and the difference between Beehw and Lemmy.world is why. Different people have different views about moderation and what is acceptable content.
There are two solutions to the real problem of duplicate content:
People of the United States. Some take exception to calling them Americans when the entire continent is named “North America”
Bots that don’t identify as such count towards active users. There have been a number of bot purges.
Huh, don’t know what that was about. Edited.
Somebody might be getting a nasty AWS bill at the end of the month.
Pro-tip: if you are trying to figure out if a website has a feature, try the default web interface first.
Someone mentioned there is a bug in the Hot algorithm that - if I remember correctly- judges hot based on the average upvotes for the community, so the first post of any new community is always hot.
This is a pet peeve of mine as well.
Long ago I noticed that on Star Trek, nobody wanted to tell the captain what was going on over the comms, they wanted the captain to stop what they were doing and go to a different part of the ship / station. I always eyerolled at the absurdity of the staff having so little respect for the captain’s time.
Then it started happening to me. I’m not a captain, my time isn’t that important, but have a little respect for what I’m currently engaged in? maybe?
Lemmy won, because Lemmy users numbered in the hundreds before the fiasco. The software is now growing by leaps and bounds.
Reddit may have won the battle, but not the war, and certainly not without casualties.
Lemmy died. Nothing to see here.
