The regret rate for knee surgery is higher than the regret rate for GRS. Its always just been a transphobic talking point they don't actually believe in used as a cudgel to restrict our rights.

Someone on the fediverse (might be here?) asked "Do you want Lemmy to succeed or do you just want reddit to burn?"

I've landed on "both, for independant reasons." Its been high time reddit's corporate greed gets checked, and what a better way to go than an icarus flight?

This is objectively a good thing, but I can't help but worry that this'll be the new target of bomb threats with the way the political climate down there is right now.

Stay safe, stay strong, never forget pride was a riot.

I came here to get mad but comic sans monospaced looks really good. I'm impressed. I might switch my IDE to this.

No matter how many developers you get, you're never going to have a good product if the guy calling the shots won't allow it. I'm confident that the developers working on Reddit probably know damn well that their product is trash and there's nothing they can do about it because their job isn't "make a good site" its "do what your boss tells you to do"

The other part about warning employees not to wear Reddit gear in public for fear of violence was meant for the press and for the uninformed, to try to garner sympathy and paint the protestors as bad actors.

Glad people aren't blind to this obvious ploy. When LGBT violence is at an all time high I don't think you need to be worried about wearing a reddit shirt.

Finally, closure. Thanks a bunch lol.

I hate to say it, but I don't think that day will ever come. Even in death, his die-hards will be slinging conspiracy theories about how he was assassinated or how he was jesus and he'll ressurect soon to take on mega-hillary's doomsday army.

Hopefully we can at least confine it to its own section of the internet though.

This is so deeply pathetic on the part of reddit tbh. CEO's gotta power grab i guess.

Yep, same thing happened to me. Tried to figure out what the Fragile modifier does in Trackmania but I couldn't find the answer anywhere. /r/trackmania is shutdown (based) and i literally couldn't find the answer anywhere. I still don't even know what it does...

Hey! I'm not probably autistic! I'm definitely autistic, there's a difference!

Deeply funny stuff. Keep it coming Elon, you'll burn your site to the ground yet!

The other consideration is that impersonation might be pretty possible by making your own server called lemmy.mi or something and then stealing peoples username's verbatim. IDK if that'll ever become an issue but I do think its an avenue of attack for bad actors.

I just hope Meta doesn't get it's claws into activitypub at the roots. The whole point of this thing is to avoid corporate domination and I don't want them to turn it into a charade.

Also, some people are just dicks and it’s better if they’re not provided with a safe space where intolerable behavior is reinforced as acceptable.

Unfortunately, they're capable and willing to make their own safe spaces for themselves (and arguably did before a lot of us were, technically "truth" social is a mastodon instance). I'd rather them there than here though, especially if they have no willingness or intention to change.

Glad to be here! I'll lurk a bit more before commenting too much. Here's to hoping the best instances get funding to get more server capacity~

That's what everyone liked about reddit though! That you could be relatively anonymous, I mean. Of course, this had some pretty significant drawbacks too, which is why there's so much unbridled hate speech going on there.

Speaking of: Remember when YouTube was good? When your feed showed you your actual subscriptions, the earlier algorithm was showing you stuff you actually want to see and not 6 late night shows, an ad for YouTube TV, and maybe a decent video essay or two?

My understanding of it is that its the software that federated services use to communicate with each other. Now, I don't know if i'm even right so take that with a grain of salt, i'm sure eventually someone 1 level higher than me on the techie tier list will give a more thorough answer.

I'm on beehaw mostly because I don't want my lemmy experience to mirror my reddit experience: ie getting into 10 comment arguments with bigots over things like "trans people deserve to live" or "art is inherently political". I've had enough of that for a lifetime.
