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.

It’s interesting they even programmed the ability to flag communities and posts as NSFW and turn it off in user settings if they didn’t want any NSFW content to be federated with them.

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.

How would federation work in that case? Are they going to defederate any instance that has NSFW content? By their own definition I’ve found CSAM on lemmy.world and every other instance that has NSFW communities.

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. 😅

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.

It sounds like the latency is really important here and not necessarily the bandwidth. That makes sense.

After breakfast I would think. Any other time would be rather inconvenient.

I can already burn through my entire wireless data limit in minutes. What is the point in it being faster without data being cheaper? At least from a users perspective and not someone who owns a telecommunications company.

I recently switched reading modes from “horizontal” page scrolling to infinite vertical scrolling and it made me read so much faster. It’s really quite weird that it affects anything at all.

As for “supporting the dev” I don’t really get this concept. Do you know them personally? Surely the point would be to support development of something you want rather than the people behind it. I’m in favor of supporting software development if it doesn’t violate any of my principles such as being adware.

It would still be nice to look at how someone did something even if implemented poorly to make redevelopment quicker.

As for why people don’t do this they might just not care or believe they will maybe get back to it again someday even if that is years in the future.

As far as I can tell ReadEra non-premium doesn’t have any ads. This means the paid version is only about buying extra features rather than removing ads. This is a very respectable business model in a world where almost every other app out there tries to annoy you with ads until you pay them.

I use ReadEra regularly, but I think I’m going to buy the premium version since you brought it to my attention. The syncing feature could come in handy between my phone and tablet.
