Why not stretch him more?

Can you share example pictures what you mean?

We are assuming they were alive when the plane lifted off.

Federation is like instead of having single reddit you would have many different reddits under different domains, they have their own subreddits. You don’t need to create separate account on every reddit, you can theoretically access those subreddits from any of those reddit servers.

Now, defederation is breaking that. If there’s reddit-A and reddit-B, you have account on reddit-A and they both de-federated, you won’t be able to access subreddits from reddit-B.

I think one of lemmy servers that defederates the most is perhaps beehaw.org. Their goal is to create welcoming space accepting everyone. So they defederated from servers that they believe is ruining that experience, either because admins of those servers are not proactive, or outright support stances that beehaw.org does not tolerate.

The difference is different admins, different policy (for example one lemmy could let anyone in, another, like beehaw asks to write why they should let you in, and that you will obey their rules).

There are also things like some settings, for example beehaw disables downvotes, they also don’t federate with lemmy servers that notoriously break their policies.

So best bet would be to choose server which policy fits you the best.

Also some people might want to choose the biggest and most open server. That could be good but because the server is open to everyone it might struggle fighting abuse and also go down because of high load. Such server is lemmy.world right now.

RiF for a decade or so.

I’m on kbin (I think it has much better algorithm that lemmy, and magazines/communities look more active even though it is the same network) and tildes.net.

Initially I felt like I had to visit reddit, but over past days lemmy/kbin feels more and more active. Still not like reddit, but active enough to not feel the need to go to reddit. It’s possible that maybe I just found right communities that I’m interested in, or numer of people increased, or both.

There are plenty of evil things US has done, but in this particular case this is morally the right thing to do.

In 1994 after Soviet Union fell United States, United Kingdom and Russia promised Ukraine that they will respect their borders and won’t use military or economical means to impose on Ukrainian borders.

This was broken by Russia several times, it was largely ignored by the west though, until 2022 when Russia decided to go for the entire country.

Before the invasion happened US did something it never did before. After few months alarming that this is what Russia was doing it ultimately specified the date of planned attack once again urging putin to reconsider. Biden gave putin an exit. He could call Biden senile and said that was just a training. Of course that wouldn’t fool people who understand geopolitics but it would work for general public inside and outside of Russia.

Why West cares about Ukraine? Because a nearby war is not good for business and affects neighbors economically as well. Second thing is that Ukraine was a first major step. When many ignored Foundations of Geopolitics, this move solidified that putin truly was following that idea and won’t stop on Ukraine.

Kind of offtopic, but isn’t it interesting that url to Freedom To Breathe Agency, goes to a page advertising digital marketing?

I don’t think they care, Russia is no longer communist.

To explain what I mean. I noticed that while term “tankies” is accepted as a term to refer to communists (particularly communists that would defend use of tanks on civilians), today’s tankies are also defending Russia which isn’t communist anymore (it’s more fascist than anything). Even those on lemmygrad. It feels like it never was about communism, but it always was about totalitarianism and Soviets.

Actually it looks like it works.

They don’t care about the “fuck spez” text, they did care about spez under a guillotine and were using some code to destroy it.

So what’s the point?

Plus they have some code that allows them to interfere with the picture. The part that drawn spez under a guillotine received a checkerboard and also constantly had random pixels showing up.

Anyone who thinks they are protesting by it are fooling themselves.

Also if somebody was truly worrying reddit they likely removed their account. Asking to contributing is asking to create account back on the site we wanted to leave.
