Im not going to upvote something if I don't agree with it. I understand the power of voting, it increases or decreases visibility. But I am not going to willingly increase the visibility of something I don't agree with.

I am literally here, now, commenting on this because I am reading the article to this on reddit and ..... I can't believe they are going to start punishing upvotes! That is the final stray for Reddit. Its dead. Gone the way of Digg. I am literally here now to start moving over to Lemmy.

I just realized - and must keep in mind, with a federated platform like lemmy, all of your upvotes and downvotes are broadcasted across the network. ANYONE could track your upvotes and downvotes in THIS system.

I had no idea how much I valued voting privacy.

People even knowing their next door neighbors NAME is leaps and bounds ahead of where we are right now.

which is why i refused to pay for tv/movies. I refused to spend my hard earned money on their "circus"

 

Seriously the only episode of the television that can get me to cry EVERY. TIME.

Does it still save in one of the most basic but still GIGANTIC file sizes?

Good. I'm surprised that all governments havn't banned this chinese spyware.

1.) its usually a single persons job to do "social media outreach", not most of the employees

2.) People shouldn't be using their personal devices to do government work, period.

3.) slippery slope? why would someone use queer dating apps on their GOVERNMENT device? this is a stupid argument

4.) This is about GOVERNMENT, not private business. You are conflating the two.

So, i was feeling pretty apocalyptic about this too - until it learned that "micro plastics" include any synthetic fibers like polyester. i mean, of course our clothing lint will get everywhere

 

TIL about the greek question mark

Tell me, can you tell the difference between these two characters?

naw man, fuck that the only thing water boarding (and torture in general) does is get people to say whatever they can to make it stop. I just realized.... with that as a tool, you could get any name you want out of anyone you're torturing :(

 

i just made this right now, after trembling at my first professional correspondence with an old highschool friend.

 

Did you know that Worf is over 110 years old at the start of TNG? Its true. He started his career as a defense attorney, defending Captain Kirk. He must have been demoted because he was a colonel back then!

 

That to me was an important feature of reddit :(

What I suspect is that they were getting flooded by bots...

So, Lemmy.world is just one instance of lemmy... it maybe the biggest one, but its just one right? And it agrees to federate with other lemmy instances (like lemmy.ml)... got it. But at the end of the day, each instance is running on someones computer right? Whats the traffic like between these two? If I ran an instance, and federated with this site, what would that cost me? How much traffic does this instance produce?

Are we suppose to divide into our own instances to reduce costs, and then link them together through lemmy.world? wouldn't that make it centralized? And then who is paying for THIS? How much is being a central hub between instances going to cost?

Sooner or later, we have to realize that these wonderful free things are usually a bubble that eventually pops when they have to start running ads.

Who is paying for this?
