I would love to see him in a regular prison like he deserves, but can a person with secret service protection even get anything worse than house arrest? I've been unable to find clarifying information on this.

What he deserves is to not have special treatment anymore, but who knows how it will happen

In my experience while the amount of moderating done was comparable, the actual content that got removed was different.

In left spaces you would often see people with conservative opinions getting banned and deleted... After they started saying slurs or insulting people. Some people would argue that whether or not something is considered a slur or an insult is a difference in political opinion, but those kinds of things are already against the reddit site-wide rules so it's moot.

In places like r/conservative, people would get banned for being aggressive and insulting people, but also for ever presenting an opinion that isn't strictly in line with modern conservatism. The moderators of that subreddit used bans to remove any and all dissent no matter how severe or mild.

Web3 was suppose to be this decades revolution of the internet, where everything became interconnected and decentralized and without authority figures or something

Then cryptocurrency enthusiasts decided blockchain counts as that and starting calling everything related to cryptocurrency and Blockchain web3. So now web3 just means cryptocurrency, but they still act like it is the future of the entire internet. I think it is pretty dumb, who wants finances intrinsically tied to everything they do online?

Your second bullet point is the one I have wanted fixed badly as soon as I started using lemmy. I want there to be a small button at the top of posts that takes me to that same post but through the server where my account is. Idk how that would work though. Maybe a browser addon that remembers where my accounts live? I wish I had the knowledge to make that sort of thing.

Sorry I deleted and reposted this comment, having an issue I'm trying to figure out.

I've been thinking we call it web4.0 to mess with the cryptobros. Idk if it is an accurate name, but I bet they would hate it.

I'm glad I'm finding new versions of the communities I liked from reddit so much.

The more places like this exist, the less I even care that reddit is gone. Reddit was only useful as a path to you fine people.

I'm very glad to have you running a space like this. It is spectacular.

At the same time I can sympathize with what he said to a point. I don't want to see hate speech just casually existing in public forums, but I also sometimes look at the spaces they use, out of a sort of morbid curiosity of what they are up to. It is often depressing and I consider it a bad habit, but knowledge is also power, and knowing what they are thinking can help a person avoid it.

With the nature of the fediverse and how accounts can be made on multiple instances no issue, I don't think it is by any means your job to facilitate that sort of thing.

Thank you, that makes the situation very clear. Idk how much control you have over the layout of lemmy and what is included this instance, but it makes sense that the lemmy devs wouldn't be willing to make their revenue stream an optional thing to include.

But that would be fine, wouldn't it? Then they wouldn't show up elsewhere, they would basically be using lemmy as a template to make a standalone website. If they want the general audience, they would have to create a general experience that is better than being connected to all the other servers, and that would be a lot of work.

But maybe I've misunderstood it, because I'm new to all this.

Me neither, I've been wondering this for years now. What does a trump arrest look like? We will have to see one to know.

Very cool.

Both that they can do that, and that they did that.

I don't want to brag, but yeah 😁. Living around a lot of swamps and lakes means there is no shortage of turtles, and they always seem to like using peoples yards to lay their eggs.

I thought the donations here were just to maintain this server, but I am new and very easily could have missed something or misunderstood. Could you link or otherwise share what you are specifically referring to?

thanks, good to know it's not an issue on my end I have to figure out alone. Do you happen to know any workarounds to turn off the "updates" from happening constantly? I'd rather have a static list that I have to manually refresh than this flood of posts, but if there isn't anything I can do no worries, thanks for explaining it.
