I definitely understand this take but there are a lot of things that I would have never watched if I hadn’t torrented it. Many things I do want to see more of I pay for of course but a lot of it I would just never have viewed or listened to in the first place.

Maybe everything that dies someday comes back

Yes it is one of the many arbitrary things that that specific religion demonizes. Probably has its roots from way back in the day so that women couldnt effectively run away from the men and get very far. Same reason most Muslim women arent allowed to drive. To this day they still have to have permission to leave and go do things without a man. Edit: lol at the downvotes. Give it a google if you don’t believe me 🤷‍♂️

It will not be any better by then. In fact it will probably worse when they do have a solid understanding of the internet and the infastructure behind it they will be able to use it to our disadvantage even more than they already are.

I believe this is the plan for most of them. I know Signal messenger has said as much and Im sure Telegram and even Whatsapp (lol at the idea of whatsapp being secure) wont stick around either. Seems like the easiest way to solve this problem. The downside is, once this passes the USA and other countries are bound to follow suit. Especially Australia’s spying ass, if they havent passed something like this already.

And that’s why you will NEVER see it in states like Texas and Mississippi. Rehabilitation and low recidivism rate are only goals for the state of California, not the rest of the USA.

I cant get wefwef to work it keeps saying “problem fetching posts”

To be fair some instances (like Beehaw) defederate for not being big enough to maintain a huge influx of users. It isn’t always about Nazis although for sure Nazis suck I agree with that!

Well with the supreme court it isn’t because we elect them. They are appointed so I’d say it’s to protect the interests of the elite like banning abortions etc.

Google kills everything it touches

Someone has probably mentioned it already but Jerboa is giving me this error when trying to use lemmy.world

Try doing it via the browser instead of using the app and it should work!

You know this is another big aspect to all this that people keep forgetting. They DID act like they had no control getting rid of problematic mods in the past but it sure wasn’t an issue getting rid of actually good mods when it hurt reddits bottom line. Also I know it was a bigots comment but Spez fucked around and edited peoples comments and shit too. It’s just WAY too power trippy over there.

I got shadowbanned from the entire site once from pissing a mod off. I wasn’t even being combative or anything I posted a link to dispute misinformation and just said “That’s wrong though. Here is a link from the Mayo clinic explaining it” and got banned. No warning, no message, nothing. I had to make a new reddit account conpletely i couldnt upvote or comment on ANY subreddit after that. All for pissing off a mod. I hated how much power they have (had?)

I’ve always wondered if that was pre-planned or if they just integrated it as the show went on

I’ve used Baconreader for as lpng as I can remember and the only reason I even know it’s an ad is seeing you all talk about it just now lol was it really that bad?

You can change defaults in your profile settings. Also, you should try not being such a fucking asshole

You just have to get used to how federation works. Their is bugginess from the influx of new users right now but give it time. A good way to get used to how federation works is using Mastadon (which also integrates with Lemmy on many instances)

Look into Hellen Keller and how she learned. I’m not 100 percent brushed up on it but I do know it involved touch and feeling. The teacher would trace letters onto her hands and also use temperatures and textures to convey meaning to her.

This is why im considering being done with reddit altogether. The API stuff was messed up but this is SUPER shady
