Possibly a dumb question, but what exactly constitutes a “US-based digital service?” For example, does that mean everything on github is off limits? I wouldn’t think so (and actually I’m kind of surprised that so many projects stayed on github after it was bought by Microsoft). Me being me, I’ve started going through my various account entries on KeePass, and changing the favicon of the site/service with the flag of the country it’s based in (to the best of my knowledge). Many of them will be US-based, and this is probably unavoidable, but the more I can reasonably minimize the number of 🇺🇸s, the better.

Signal is going to be a tough one for me to get past, since all my clueless relatives are on it…

Does it have full CMYK support now by any chance?

However, I would suggest that if you do decide to use this that you pick one or two of your favorite periodicals and either donate or subscribe to them. The Guardian and your local paper might be two good choices.

Also, if you have uBlock, turning off javascript can sometimes defeat a paywall.

Lemmy ML got slow and gummy right after I posted this, should I delete, or am I just being paranoid? And at least three downvotes; should I not have asked?

Welcome one, welcome all 👍

Hey, how did you get hold of my passphrase?! 😵

“Does your tobacco taste different lately?”

Has a certain ring to it 👍 (Should we vote on this? Can we vote on this? Probably would want to get the ok first from the Admins since it is their baby).

Snaggletooth is kind of scary-looking 😱🙀, but ok!

From Wikipedia: “It was later suggested by some that the name originated from the phrase “lemmy a quid 'til Friday” because of his alleged habit of borrowing money from people to play slot machines.”

Frasier Crane, the sitcom character, is played by Kelsey Grammar who is a Trumpster.

🤔 Is that official?

I was sad enough to know that all of your deleted everything are saved in lemmy and never truly deleted.

Another concern of mine; I was under the impression that while the posts/comments a user deletes on Lemmy are still there, or at least visible to the original author (and therefore on the server too, I guess, they’d have to be!), but not visible to other regular users, the content can be deleted by being overwritten, and that deleted posts disappear after 30 days . . . ? (very tired here, did I just contradict myself?) Anyway, that’s at least the impression I got from here:

https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977

and here:

I haven’t been here long enough to see if a deleted post of mine has disappeared after 30 days.

In another life I was on an instance where if I deleted something, it disappeared as it should, though I don’t know if it also got deleted from their server(s) . . .

@dessalines@lemmy.ml, could you please clarify this for us?

Some apps do.

But not on the web interface, I guess, whether desktop or mobile?

What Lemmy app do you use?

Nothing like shrews and coffee to get your mind off things 😉👍

I see that you’ve posted a few times in the last hour or so; hope this means you’re feeling a little better about things.
