It’s the word of the day every day they be doing war crimes.

Not only is it impossible to evacuate that many people in that short a time, but they’re basically declaring that they’re going to use their military to targer and kill civilians.

Which is a war crime.

“Hamas did it first” doesn’t give them a pass here. If it’s not ok for Hamas, it’s not ok for the Israeli state. And inverting that, if it is ok for the Israeli state…

Well, there are other microbloging services on the Fediverse. Akkoma. Firefish. Misskey. Or there’s Friendica, which has more of a Facebook-like interface and supports groups (eg Lemmy communities).

Lots of options here in the Fediverse.

Or just say some generic anti-union bullshit and ignore the actual speech issue.

Yeah, let’s see how many of these guys survive when unemployment is at 50% and people are starving and desperate.

“Eat the rich” will become a much more literal rallying cry.

Here’s the thing, though: Whenever you have a position like “Person for Group”, that Group is being singled out for a reason.

And that reason is lack of representation.

To put it another way, so have a Minister for Women is a tacit acknowledgement that the others operate as if men are the default person. All of the other ministers are Ministers for Men.

Yeah, Ethan’s one of my favourite science video essayists of the last couple years. The food porn is just a bonus.

If it’s actually enforced, anyway.

Wow, the number of comments that are just “oh, yeah, these are great, I have one” is… Wow…

No wonder you guys are fucked. Too many of y’all are spending your time supporting shit like this when you could be screaming about single payer, like the rest of the developed world has.

Not opposing them does less than nothing. They see lack of vocal opposition as agreement, so disagreeing with them means being proactive and vocal.

I’m not sure how lemmy or kbin handle instance-hosted media links – whether they import the media and redirect the link, or whether they point to the original media object – but otherwise, yes.

There are ways to access other websites directly from within a given website – iframes and the like – but that’s not what happens here. Each website is independent of each other, and all text is locally hosted in your instance’s database.

There are also (limited) copies of user profiles all over the place – if you click on my username, for instance, you’ll be taken to lemmy.world/u/Kichae@kbin.social. That’s a local lemmy.world user address, even though I’m not on lemmy.world. I can’t login to that account – it’s either credentialless, or has randomized credentials – but it exists. And by going there, you get to see what lemmy.world knows about my activity across the fediverse. Without ever leaving lemmy.world.

Kbin doesn’t federate downvotes, so it only knows half of that, and can’t display what it doesn’t know.

Yup. It’s mirrored content all the way down.

The whole point of that server is to allow people to simply login and then participate in other instances from there.

In order for users on lemmy.one to interact with content on other instances, lemmy.one has to import and host that content. So, it has plenty of content on it, just most of it originated elsewhere. That remote content should be just as indexable as local content.

As I say, it’s an open door for trolls. Anime titties, holocaust denial, endless pictures of Rush Limbaugh’s face, you name it, with enough effort it can flood any auto-grouped community tag.

I don’t think it should be done by a specific name, it should be user defined, I should be able to add the communities together which I deem that they do belong together for some reason.

This.

People are used to a single handle mapping to a single community, and I get that they want that to still be true, but it isn’t here. It just isn’t. Having a communities auto-group in any way is asking for a bad time for all involved.

First of all, people generally are not considering the contexts that those communities are situated in. My go-to example here is politics communities. r/politics is, very frustratingly, about American politics, but that isn’t going to be universally true here for communities named politics. You should not assume that an Australian based server, a Canadian based server, a UK based server, an Indian based, etc. will reserve that name to deal with, well, foreign politics. And having them automatically lumped together will functionally destroy the communities on instances focused on smaller countries.

In top of that, it’s wide open door for troll instances.

If people want lists of communities, that’s fine. That’s great even. I’d love to lump together some sports communities so that when I’m in the mood for that, I can find them all in one place. It’d be cool to be able to have them optionally not show up in Subscribed, too. But auto-grouping is one of those features that is actively bad for smaller communities, and which people really only think they want. It’s more of a sign that people aren’t opening their mind to this new space and paradigm they find themselves in than an actually useful feature.

Brands don’t have to do shit like this. They have weird trolls with weirder parasocial relationships to intellectual property to do it for them, unprompted.

By my own accord? Probably Back to the Future 2/3, or Serenity. But my partner and step-son spent 6 months last year watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy over and over again, so those are the ones I’ve probably actually seen the most number of times.

The guidelines, they be bein’ ignarrrrrred

Eh, I still use it a little bit. I follow Blue Jays games via the team’s subreddit, and the Pathfinder community hasn’t really migrated over, so scan that every couple of days. And the memes have just clobbered my feed these last couple of days, even after blocking most of the meme groups.

But I’m using Reddit very differently now.

Given the rights prisoners have in many other countries, it might be better to say that things are just as bad in the US as the media paints other countries.

Because, uh, prison labour is pretty fucking awful, especially when considering that y’all gots them private prisons down there.
