These are good points but apparently it was just a community on that instance... The instance itself wasn't the problem. You can in fact block a community as a user. People absolutely have the power to block the_Donald community on that instance on their own.

Lemmy is more left leaning because the rights popularity seen on other social media are driven by bots that are not here.

I'd say I'm generally conservative and have been dabbling in alternative social media for a number of years. Some of the biggest Mastodon instances are/were right leaning. Gab.ai started off as a proprietary site and then migrated to Mastodon. Truth.social was always based on Mastodon. I've never been active on them because I don't like echo chambers though. I've never really had a desire to have my thoughts reaffirmed by strangers...

I would assume they're presence isn't felt in the fediverse because the concept of de-federating is working? Gab is likely cut off by others and truth social never federated with others to begin with. I don't think Truth ever intended to though, and really just wanted something they didn't have to build from scratch.

The only Mastodon instance I actually have an account with now is somewhat right leaning but it's not their emphasis. Even then I'm not too active on it.

What do you think about Guy Fieri ?

I'm actually a pretty big fan. I really like his show Guy's Grocery Games. It just seems different compared to most cooking shows/competitions out there. Most seem scripted and rigid. While I get that grocery games has to have a script it just feels off the rails sometimes and I find it appealing. I get that Guy probably isn't the best chef out there but just seems like a good dude who would always go out of his way to help others.

Third party Reddit apps just got canned.

I just don't see it being viable for them. The math doesn't work once you get power users as the base for using it. Then once people realize they are missing NSFW tagged content that might be a deal breaker. This was legitimately planned by Reddit to not work on purpose.

YSK how to find the proper air pressure for your tires

Reply in thread

The pressure listed on the side of the tire is max load pressure and almost assuredly too high for the application it'll be put in. You wouldn't put a tire on that's already at its limits and all. The correct answer is to ask the tire shop. Chances are if they are the same load rating and amount of plys as what they are replacing it should be the same as the door sticker.
