“Make sure you don’t put ‘fuck’ in the title!”
World has had some controversy and a lot of .world users have a very “Reddit” worldview - which kind of makes sense since many of them are Reddit refugees.
As a result there are some instances that have defederated with .world, and some call into question the moderation model used.
196 didn’t even ask their users though; they were just like “ok we’re gonna move the community and no one is allowed the old one” which is an arbitrary decision that goes against the design of the fediverse. So while .world isn’t ideal for many, the real point of contention is the fact that this was just done out of nowhere, with no input, and measures are being taken to prevent competition from a new team taking over at Blahaj.
If you don’t like how a community is treated on an instance and the admins won’t work with you, you’re free to go create your own community elsewhere, with blackjack and hookers. But, I don’t think it’s fair that you can just pull the ladder up behind you and slam the door. Shame on the 196 mods and on the blahaj admins both for allowing this situation, the worst possible outcome.
They probably started it at a time when analysis suggested it was what people wanted more of, and then during the probably what; 4 or 5 years it took to develop, interest waned?
I don’t think it was weird that they started on this; it was pretty weird that they didn’t pivot or cancel earlier.
I owned Mario Kart 8 for Wii U and it had a feature to record gameplay and post it to YouTube.
I post a clip once and they fucking claimed ad revenue on it.
Ugh I hate how hard I laughed at this
My man, have you heard of Bazzite?
You might want to look into letting them reuse yours, that place sounds painful.
I don’t think they do it to make us dumber (there are other methods for that) but to make it accessible to people who don’t already know better.
So, in this case, inadvertent is correct; Although it’s not without side effects.
Vanilla extract became expensive, many ice cream makers used less, end result vanilla is considered the bland flavor because there is never any vanilla in it.
It’s fucking milksugar.
Find a vanilla with actual vanilla in it and it’ll grow hair on your tits, sweetie.
It’s cute that you think much paperwork is needed at all.
The only time they do paperwork is when they need to present evidence publicly, like in a court. Lead generation is essentially free, and then they just construct a parallel charge.
You do, they just don’t see much activity and therefore people assume they do not exist.
Discoverability is becoming a big issue for niche communities within Lemmy.
I almost wish that the community model was more like a tag, and there was just one single “plumbing” for all instances, for example. I realize though that this idea raises hell for moderation/what do you do when someone takes over a name for hateful purposes/where does the sidebar exist/etc.
Having separate comms on separate instances just results in the biggest instance hosting all the communities; at what point is that any better than Reddit?
There’s a way to change that
I looked at ONE light switch because I couldn’t find exactly the type in other stores (single-gang dual 2-way multipole) and now they will NOT stop emailing me about electrical equipment and supplies as if i was a contractor
Nailed hard, women wept for days afterward
Squid! How could you! Lol these are soup spoons (or as we call them in New England: Chowder Spoons)
Now, why they only have soup spoons as opposed to having some of a few different kinds…ok well THAT your friends are weird for!
NUT works with many UPS models and provides monitoring and control
I suggest maybe watching the stream, then
