Banning abortion information is not the same thing as banning a harassment network that’s causing deaths.
This sentence alone shows how short-sighted your point is.
"Abortion is the killing of fetuses. Providing women with access to information about abortion will lead to more deaths in just one year than Kiwifarms has brought about in its entire existence. ISPs have shown that they are able to block such sites. Given the higher level of harm abortion sites pose as compared to Kiwifarms, the Texas Court of Appeals moves that ISPs have to block all access to abortion information."
You don't have to agree with the paragraph above (I certainly don't), but that's exactly the point - if it can be used to block things you want blocked, there will be a way to justify blocking things you do NOT want blocked.
"We should allow companies that provide what is almost a necessity in the modern world the power to decide who gets to use it and who doesn't" is a hell of a take.
While we're at it, I don't think thieves deserve clean water. Utilities companies should shut off the water supply to households where thieves live.
"access to torrentfreak"??
Here you go, it's a universal unlimited invite: www.torrentfreak.com
First is speed. I've been able to get speeds of ~50MBps (not Mbits) on private trackers, granted this is dependent on Internet connection more than anything but I get 20-50% of that speed on public trackers.
Second is retention and breadth of selection. If you're trying to download the latest Marvel movie then every tracker is gonna have that, but if you're looking for an older movie then it's much harder to find on a private tracker.
the correct way is to never indent and never use whitespace. Saves memory.
Your goal should be 1LOC every month, no more.
I've been replacing my posts with gibberish (google "gibberish generator") and a link to lemmy.
Be aware that /r/AskReddit has some automation that will delete your post if they detect some script. I don't know how it works, but so far the trigger for me seems to be any link to the /r/apolloapp post where Christian posts his call logs.
maybe they should start a lemmy community to talk about it... like [email protected]
yes! I see a bunch of communities created with nothing in it. If you create a community, start the conversation! Don't squat on communities for the sake of it!
Voat was a good test of that. A whole bunch of people moved over, voat almost thrived for a few months, and then people quietly started reviving their reddit accounts.
There's some cause for optimism though. The people who are left when the dust settles are those who like the platform, or the people who aren't welcome on reddit anymore. For voat, that consisted largely of fatpeoplehate and other "negative" subs.
This time round, the people who can't access reddit are those who use third party apps. I might still use reddit on my desktop after everything, but once Slide for Reddit dies, I have no good way to use reddit on my commutes. Old.reddit sucks on mobile cos of the sidebar and horrible comment nesting, reddit mobile website sucks because it's 50% whitespace and slow to load shit, the reddit app is even worse.
There's going to be a bunch of people who give up and use the app. But for me, having tried the app, my choices are clear - on my phone at least, the choices are lemmy, tildes, old-school forums, or reading a book.
If anyone builds mocs here, this is a pretty good price for 1x1 plates
Well when a community is small, there's pretty much no moderation involved most of the time. I started a few subs on reddit, I never had much to do when the subscriber count was below the hundreds.
Once it gets sufficiently large, there will be people willing to mod.
Every exec wants money for themselves, even if it comes at the cost of the company they run
I'm new to the whole fediverse thing, but - if you've got an interest in a specific, uh... Sub? Fed? Community? Why not create one yourself?
