To everyone who’s been telling OP off, claiming “free speech” and such: there’s still free speech. They can say whatever they want, but we don’t want to hear it. To correct myself: the majority of us don’t want to hear it. You have every right to convert instances if you disagree. Moderation is always going to be opinion-based; everyone has their own opinion of right and wrong.

So don’t talk about “free speech” and then wonder why you get downvoted into oblivion. We simply don’t want to have to deal with this nonsense. Keep in mind too that Lemmy doesn’t let you block an instance yet(AFAIK); it’s up to the instance admins. Just like a government, a user is going to pick the instance to best represent them. And just like a government, that instance will probably act in favor of the majority. So please just stop complaining. There is no plus to federating with rammy.site and frankly, we don’t need them.

The CEO then told him that some of the floors could not handle more than 500 pounds of pressure, so rolling a 2,000-pound server would cause damage. Musk replied that the servers had four wheels, so the pressure at any one point was only 500 pounds. “The dude is not very good at math,” Musk told the musketeers.

This guy is considered to be a genius? This guy is a fucking billionaire?

I’m dead.

As stated clearly in the article, the term is not “popemobile”, but rather “undignified”.

What if your dev experience was entirely in the cloud?

No. Just no.

Fuck no.

Couldn’t we just use a hash for the usernames instead?

Nothing too over the top, but just a simple hash and match that instead?

Also, there’s way too much trust in instances. Like, one person could easily make a post on lemmy.world, go on their personal instance, and just give themselves, say, 2000 upvotes.

Instances should have their own settings on what instances are allowed to keep a local copy. (Default behavior should be to get the post itself from the instance “hosting” it).

So…Mastodon…with ads?

Yep, it’s pretty fucking cool.

Most people here do not want to associate with this kind of people. If you really believe in “free speech”, go run your own instance. Free speech is one thing, hate speech is another.

read the comic, realize you didn’t read the title, read the title. too late.

First guy looks really happy he forgot the BBQ tools.

The beauty of the Fediverse is that no one is forcing you to choose/stay on your instance. If they want to talk about that stuff, they have their own instances for it. Lemmy.world is meant to be a comfortable instance for all, and if that means defederating, so be it.

Out of curiosity, I wondered what the original meme was. Found them and thought I’d share them:

If I’m going to be working in my dreams, I better get paid for it.

Quite silent.

What’s the logic here?

Saving money doesn’t make you poor, it makes you smart.

I use Nix, so I’ll just reinstall my system if anything really bad ever happens. Sometimes I reinstall just because. My important files are on a delegate drive I have to manually mount, so I’m not too worried.

Never gonna MyVariable.run() around

…and go straight into Google’s arms instead?

Outside of programming circles I’ve been surprised how little people know what != means.
