Instances are like subreddits where the mods are top level admins, and there is no central admin above them. Anyone who wants to create an instance can host their own server. Communities can be duplicated between instances so you could have dozens of c/gaming communities rather than a single community for a topic which stifles engagement a bit. The cost of hosting is paid by the admins of an instance or by donations. Sponsors and ads are not currently feasible.
Unmoderated instances allow any new instance’s content to be displayed for their users.
It’s similarly unpleasant browsing All from lemmy.world. 70% non-English (no hate, I just literally cannot engage), 25% spam crossposts, and 5% porn.
It’s like a ghost town. At least do more than dropping a link with zero discussion.
Lmao I’m not surprised that a wallstreetbets mod thought a subreddit’s name is a trademark.
You don’t have to wait for it to cool. As water evaporates the dissolved solids in it reach a higher concentration. If the concentration becomes greater than the molecule’s solubility it will precipitate and fall to the bottom.
Yeah invasive species are bad regardless of how cute they are. In the aquarium hobby pretty much all of the coolest species are invasive. I’m not completely happy about banning imports for the hobby, but I still support it. That’s just the cost of being a responsible pet owner.
They can still hunt and provide safety to other cats which can reproduce. Trap and release is better than nothing for sure.
Would be nice to have the option to have swipes navigate backward and forward too. I’ve been throwing out downvotes like candy lmao.
While cats are inarguably cool, they are also one of the greatest human-caused dangers to life on our planet. They did the right thing.
He just like me fr.
He gets a pass on this one though. His sister’s large breasts are quite admirable.
Grownups and grownups 2. Definitely two of the movies of all time.
I thought the proverb was: cook a golden goose and you’ll eat for a day. Teach the golden goose to lay eggs and you’ll eat for a lifetime.
Gold is edible btw. Or at least inedible and non-toxic. It passes through without chemically reacting.
I go with “nice” or a thumbs up. I don’t think it’s possible to comment on a porn post without being cringe. Sometimes you just gotta embrace the cringe.
You can still read posts witjout federation. And you could still comment on theirs within your home instance. You just wouldn’t be able to post within their instance.
There is no objective purpose to life. Having a hobby is a popular way to enjoy the limited time available.
The name comes from the USSR’s practice of deploying tanks to crush dissent.
Whitelist federation is one strategy. Rather than defaulting to federation with every instance a proactively moderated instance would only federate with approved requests.
Not sure if that was a joke or a sincere lack of familiarity. What tankies want is a restoration and supremacy of the USSR to spread what they called communism.
For a healthy diet make sure to only eat reasoned rebuttals sparingly. You should get most of your nutrition from name calling. /s
Each level of argument has a purpose. Know your audience and use whatever is most effective. You’re not going to get anywhere calling a doctor a poopyhead just as you won’t accomplish anything by presenting facts to a conspiracy theorist.
Your audience will be most effectively convinced by logic, emotion, or authority. It should be pretty simple to figure out which one to use.
Facebook. Simple as.
