I hope we do. And if we don't, I hope other instances block us.

How is it possible that roughly 50% of Americans can’t read above a 6th grade level and how are 21% just flat out illiterate?
As a non-native English speaker, suddenly I feel more proud of myself.

You guys are doing a fantastic work. Congrats on creating such a cool project like Lemmy.

Crazy how Jerboa, an alpha app, is much better than the official app of a multimillionaire company. Also, I already don't miss using RiF. This is my new home.

Slashdot -> Fark -> Digg -> Reddit -> Lemmy
My only problem is that we are in 2023 and we still need to read a bunch of text. Why can't we have holograms and a sexy AI whispering us the comments?

The Reddit app-pocalyse is here: Apollo, Sync, and BaconReader go dark | Many major third-party apps are finally shutting down.
Reddit was definitely fun.

I think he means he shouldn't have mentioned the US cause it's one of the countries with the worst reputation regarding human rights.

What's an industry that's known to treat its workers very well?

Yeah when I read the question, "construction" is definitely not one of the things that came to my mind. The work is simply too demanding, so many people involved, deadlines, work under the sun, in general I think building is hard work. I can see a structural engineer or consultant having a nice life-balance tho.

It will never be reddit.
Thank god, it turned into a chaotic toxic mess.

Coming from RIF, what is your favorite Lemmy app?
Reply in thread
I appreciate Jerboa being open source but even before the issue with reddit.world I had constant crashes while reading and it didn't make a pleasant experience. My intention was never to talk on behalf of Jerboa users but to give my personal opinion. In fact, Jerboa gave me a pretty good first impression but after trying other options I do prefer the alternatives.

The stuff China is doing is tangible and very noticeable. There are stuff one can't hide very easily.

With so many new people joining Lemmy recently, what apps are you guys using to browse?
Coming from RIF this is my personal ranking:
wefweb.app. Very clean design, works well and smooth experience. Overall the best implementation so far.
Connect/Lift (tied). Both are solid, I prefer connect sidebar and options but I prefer the design of the posts and comments on Lift. When the comments stack in Connect it looks awful IMO.
Jerboa. As a first option it was good but after so many timeouts, other design issues and multiple errors I kinda gave up on the app. After its polished I'll give it another try.

The Relegated Venus: Situation Of Afro-Mexican Women
Interesting. I think the average Mexican has close to 0 contact with to Africanmexicans, k think most of them are in coastal towns or cities. It won't surprise me if there are some people who has never seen one. So it makes sense that most of them are segregated. But it got me curious why should there be a specific policy to combat afro-Mexican women instead of just afro-Mexican people.

Does lemmy.world allow criticism of the CCP?
Reply in thread
I love China, and have a generally positive opinion about their government. I'd say 70% positive and the other 30% is because I hate oppression and censorship.
Edit: Deng was the GOAT
