LW staff mod removes comment, then tries to force contributing to their community instead of a lemm.ee alternative because it existed before

I just blocked LW, not that I really have anything against it, there is just too much drama. (IE what you're seeing trying to migrate your community)

90% of the posts in my 'feed' were from LW, even though it made up less than 20% of the communities I was subscribed to.

Moving away from LW is the best thing for the health of the fediverse in the long run. There is too much liability on that single instance, and they're only going to get more restrictive to cover their legal liabilities - and I don't really blame them. If people continue to centralize there, it will only guarantee a large future collapse and migration similar to reddit July-2023.

Decentralization = stability. It's the whole point of the fediverse.

Thank you for suggesting lemmy.zip btw, it's so much nicer. A lot less stressful. I've been meaning to migrate some communities (I have to get the time to put a poll together to see if that's what people want).

Social Security payments could suffer interruption soon as DOGE causes ‘system collapse'

Reply in thread

10 million people occupying the streets of every street in every city in the country for days, weeks, months, until the entire economy collapses. It is actually the least chaotic and least violent way out of this mess.

Typically that would never happen, but if DOGE manages to really destroy social security payments, I would be willing to bet that of the 67 million recipients who can no longer afford food - some would be happy to camp in the nearby street for some of that yummy food that they have there... More plausible now that the weather in the US is starting to warm up now.

I’ve not turned the heating on yet this winter (in Belgium), because fuck Putin’s war

Get an infrared lamp, like the ones used for baby chickens. They're insanely efficient at heating water (ie: your body), just make sure to not leave it on when you're not there as they are a fire hazard if not properly secured.

250W in infrared lamp heats a person better than a 1500W electric coil space heater can in a shorter period of time due to direct transfer of energy.

Pretty slow, I haven't had much time to work on a bot for it (kinda outside my knowledge scope atm). Is there a dumbed down explanation/template to explain to people why a move off server would be good (on a technical basis, with a single chart/diagram)?

I was looking at your casual conv post but honestly I don't really understand it all, other than diversification=good.
