That essentially how I see the internet lately on mainstream platforms... You see a lot of posters are basically putting out the most toxic crap imaginable that you essentially learns not to look at comments in certain communities particularly the News website. From all of that experiences, you can see how "Dead Internet Theory" have a lot of merit especially now that "shadowbanning" is common.

And to realize that it's an endless loop if users keep jumping one platform after another, better to break free of that cycle by going open-source/federated network.

Nope, not until we have social housing making it's return. There are a lot more vacant homes than there are homeless people.

Few things:

1. Federated Protocol essentially offers something similar to Peer-To-Peer communication like Bit Torrent, only that it's a server-to-server communication protocol. You could GDPR the Lemmy servers that are within the EU jurisdiction, but good luck enforcing that outside of EU.
2. Anything you post in public is PUBLIC, this should be obvious and I honestly advise not to put your real name out there if you're not going to be responsible with your posting or behavior.
3. Services like Internet Archive exists, so your stuff are going to be saved forever whether you like to or not.

If you're not comfortable with the non-compliance of GDPR on Lemmy Server, then I can suggest two things:

1. Detach your real life identity from Lemmy and assume everything you do with that service/website is public.
2. Find other platform that respects GDPR.

Inb4 all of the garbage content flooding Reddit with the lack of moderators to maintain the site.

House: "Bzzzzt, sorry, we cannot grant you access to your home since you have posted an offensive comment made to the bank that provided you the mortgage loan. We also have turned away a delivery package that reads: Bzzzzt..."

House: "Asthma Inhaler."

House: Beeps.

House: "Please confirm $1,000,000 penalty payment to the mortgage company to regain access to your house. Have a good day."

You: "But my wallet and everything is in this house..."

House: "911 have been dialed, you are trespassing this property. Please vacant the premise."

As one would say, "For every projection someone make is a confession."

Not only vote, but also run for office. It doesn't have to be in congress, but you can run for county clerk, library trustee, and so forth. The more people filling in the lower level of the government, the better chance we have to push for systematic change in the country.

Make no mistake though, we do need to push hard for ranked voting system so that we can kick out Democrat party in favor of Progressive party without handing over the election to the far right fascist party.

I guess it's for the best that those astroturfing people stay on Reddit while we can enjoy the Lemmy-verse.

(Sorry, not sorry, can't resist making something stupid like this.)

Goes to roast some marshmallows

You pretty much nail it, there were an unconfirmed report of Wagner approaching a warehouse that holds tactical nukes (I really hope that remains a simple speculation.) If Wagner claimed the tactical nukes, that would've very nearly guaranteed a successful coup, because they could simply waltz right into Moscow and hold tactical nukes to keep the rest of Russian army at bay and other factions in Russia would realize the same thing, "Oh wait, so if they can do it... then...."

Cue the Western Governments poker face at the enactment of the movie, The Dark Knight Rises, where terrorists/fascists gain access to nukes and Russia balkanize by competing warlords holding at each others throat with tactical nukes.

That and Lemmy platform let them bypass crappy moderators by curating their own community however they want.

I don't know if they can reasonably judge the game within the 2 hours frame for refund. (Some game now do a very long shader compilation that can eat 30 minutes of your time.) The tutorial/beginning stage of the game are usually the most polished, but the latter part of the game could become very hollow.

They are going to get themselves cyberpunk'd.

The Expanse, the whole book trilogy!

Yeah, definitely Stardew Valley with some mods. It's pretty close to endless things you can do in that game. Thinking of Stardew Valley have me wondering about the state of the Haunted Chocolatier game.

It would basically transform into a Facebook platform if anything, so it's easy to see how it can begin it's very slow decline.

I mean, Silver Lynel is awesome for farming, some of the greatest materials for weapon attachment particularly the sabers where you get a +55. Plus, it looks badass to put it on your master sword.

Honestly though, Japan is under the NATO umbrella by the USA. If China or Russia attacked Japan, that the same as attacking the USA and thus invokes Article 5.

I gave up when back in the day, we had like JQuery, AngularJS, Vue.js, React.js, and so forth and so I just stick with JQuery for better or worse for most of my professional career in ASP.Net Core development. (CDN alleviate the trouble of distributing JQuery and web browser would cache it, so I don't put much stock on people claiming that it's bloated or heavy.)

I often bring up that we just needed better GUI toolkit with a designer and to replace all of HTML/JS/CSS with just WebASM and WebGPU. Rather than supporting legacy crappy unholy trinity languages, we could push for "survival of the fittest" languages/tools to fill into this space.
