Telegram will disclose users' IP adresses and phone numbers to authorities, Durov says
  • Personally I think the comment could've been worded better as it can be interpreted either as

    ... is always the excuse for fascism ...

    (I.E. Fascists use the excuse, provably correct and can be generalised to authoritarianism in general) However I do see that it could potentially be taken the other way as

    ... is always the excuse for fascism ...

    (I.E only those who used the excuse are fascists, completely false) I used the principle of charity and assumed the inital argument was logical, though its understandable if others aren't willing to do that

  • Telegram will disclose users' IP adresses and phone numbers to authorities, Durov says
  • You seem to have made what's known as a converse error in your logic:

    The person you replied to said that

    All fascist ideologies will use the argument of "Protecting the children"

    You seem to have mistakingly confused that with the false claim

    All arguments that use "Protecting the children" are made by fascist ideologies

    And as such you have responded to a statement the commenter never made.

    And equivalent mistake would be claim that since every time it rains it is cloudy, therefore whenever it is cloudy it is always raining. Honestly logical errors happen for everyone, I hope this helps.

  • Finally ruled enough
  • The cultural left is against her for being very visibly transphobic (along other things). Additionally religious reactionaries historically don't like the fact her books are inspired by historical witchcraft practices, as pointed out in the meme.

    To quote wikipedia's summery:

    ...Whited asserted in 2024 that Rowling's sometimes "flippant" and "simplistic understanding of gender identity" had permanently changed her "relationship not only with fans, readers, and scholars ... but also with her works themselves".

  • Lemmings of Lemmy who came over from Reddit what do you miss about Reddit and what do you not miss?
  • I enjoy being able to see and interact with other people in a bunch of different contexts who are like minded without being so similar it becomes an echo chamber.

    I do miss all the world building sub's and projects on reddit, at this point I only keep my account to post in one community. Additionally r/dogelore and r/polandball are great, and it appears those subreddit are branching out to other platforms in response to reddit recent changes.

  • Why in 2024 do people still believe in religion? (serious)
  • Because people grow up in religious environments which result in many of there friends and beliefs being tied to that religion. People only stop believing when they are faced with undeniable evidence (which for most is impossible because religious teachings are unfalsifiable) or more often when there is an emotionally charged conflict between there religion and another part of a persons's life.

    For an example of the latter, I once knew someone who started questioning (and eventually became agnostic) because the church they had always went to had started preaching homophobic messages which was irreconcilable with there closest friend being gay.

  • Need to register a domain for business and get a simple website up and running in the USA - tips?
    1. Personally I brought a .site domain from namecheep for $2 a year
    2. Self hosting is cheepest but may require making a call to your service provider or using a dynamic DNS service. Personally I use vultr, though I've heard linode, Azure, google cloud and AWS are all great alternatives.
    3. WordPress is a good option for setting up a website with a ton of plugins and installs available, just make sure to keep your plugins up to date
    4. Make sure to secure your ssh with keyfiles instead of passwords, additionally I followed everything in this guide
  • error code 520 from this instance

    Currently, when I try to load this instance I get cloudflare http status code 520 messages. Is the instance overloaded and how would I be able to see if it is?
