I choose death.

I understand that this is possible. If it were some bad community moderators I would just avoid those communities. If the entire instance is tainted then I wouldn't want to engage with it even if the instance is federated.

Probably as good a time as any to depart from lemmy.ml.

If the devs / admins of lemmy.ml can't be trusted and the admins of lemmy.world are abusive then it is safe to say the experiment called Lemmy has failed. There is no recovery from the top 2 instances which make up most of the "content" are not worth supporting. I could go to another instance and block lemmy.world and lemmy.ml once the BE 0.19.0 update rolls out, but then the site is just dead. It's already pretty much like talking to the wind. but the site would be truly empty at that point.

I started noticing the trend of instances defederating into little islands months ago, but it seems obvious at this point that it the concept of federation isn't going to work out well. The easily self hostable part is still nice even if it eventually ends up as singular instances with maybe 1 or 2 federated connections that actually post things. There will be a lot of instances that have nothing, but I don't think that really counts.

Besides some obvious ones like The Last Airbender I think one of the worst movies I've ever seen was Knock Knock was Keanu Reeves. I'm somewhat surprised this movie was even made.

Computer. Please list all of Commander Riker's search queries.

Might as well disallow all NSFW content if naked anime girls is going to be considered CSAM. Relating these two things is making light of a real problem.

Lemmy.world admins are power abusing bullies. If lemmy.ml is defederating for this then they are soon to follow.

I gave up on video games and never really cared for internet people content. So I read books and am always on the lookout for shows I might like. Many of which are decades old.

It might be difficult to adjust to the slow paced entertainment of reading, but once you go through a bit of digital detox it will become as entertaining as a television show.

What even is "fashion" in this context if not a single person will ever wear it?

Privacy? What is this article talking about. Ads not displaying in no way implies privacy. They will harvest your data as much as it possibly can either way. All you are doing by paying to remove ads is directly funding the ad business model.

What's with that one episode where Data expressed emotions briefly and Deanna was able to sense it? That makes very little sense. πŸ˜…

In your example would you ever donate money to a developer for software you had never used and have no intentions of ever using?

You might donate to a projects developer because you want them personally to keep on with the project, but that would likely only be ontop of the other reason that you want the software you are using to continue to be developed.

Otherwise it would make more sense to donate to charities.

Does anyone know of a digital picture frame product that is good, but doesn't completely rely on some proprietary service? I'd prefer not to get something as a gift and then in a few years it completely stop working because the company that produced it no longer supports it.

How many wiretaps do you have in your home?

How does Lemmy deal with deletion requests for banned accounts? There does not appear to be any built in functionality to make this possible which makes compliance with the law more difficult.

I enjoyed my time being here and helping to grow this community. My plan was to keep things such as book of the month and show discussions going indefinitely. It's sad to say goodbye as I would love to continue to try my best at facilitating discussion and help this community become a great resource for science fiction fans everywhere. Unfortunately, I don't have a choice as lemmy.world admins have made the rather baffling decision to ban my account despite no rules being broken. Unless I hear back from Ruud on the matter and the situation is rectified there is no way for me to continue to enjoy discussing science fiction with all of you here. I'm unsure if I will attempt to restart this community on another instance.

Keep on loving science fiction. You guys are great. πŸš€
