That is such an idiotic take. Truly unbelievable a court would actually say something like this and acquit somebody. The judge should be open to standing in the public square and letting anybody grope him, as long as it is under 10 seconds.

One thing to note is that while it is true that you can create duplicate communities in different instances, eventually one is going to be more successful than the others, and will end up being the one community everybody goes to.

Keep in mind that it’s a new, evolving platform. It’s always possible to make improvements, especially when the user base is small

you would think with the blackouts they would have more resources available.

Sorry, what’s a motorbike frog?

I have an iPhone, use a MacBook for work (only options are windows and Mac), but use Linux at home. I was an android user years ago, but one of the things that pushed me away is google treating android users as a data source. There were ‘bugs’ which caused the google services to run constantly in the background. In my opinion, Apple cares about users privacy lot more than google does. Use whatever tool suits you best.

oh boy

I deleted all my content on reddit using power delete suite, and I didn't even opt to take a local backup. I feel like we're still reddit, just under a different name. Reddit is bigger than the site itself. Too bad the reddit admins didn't realize this.

beehaw would be the perfect place for it, but they're not gonna create communities until July. May be I can try lemmy.ml. I wanted to be here because it seems to be the best of both worlds (lemmy's anarchism vs beehaw's restrictions).

I don't follow the mastodon scene very well. How big is mastodon now? How has it changed over the past year?

I think I’m done with Reddit. I just deleted all my posts/comments on Reddit, so I think I can quit Reddit for good if I feel like it. The thing about Reddit is that it grew too big, and I think all platforms become this way once they’re past a certain size. For all we know, Lemmy might end up becoming huge, and turn into another Reddit. However, 1. There’s still a long way for that, 2. Instances are extremely independent, and anybody can stand an instance. If one of the instances turn like Reddit, people can move to other instance and block the problem instance.

Look at the major instances (Lemmy.ml, beehaw, Lemmy.world). One is communist/anarchist, one is authoritarian, and one doesn’t seem to be political. They all coexist.

Nice. Didn't realize there are over a million monthly users on mastodon. Lemmy seems puny with under 10k, but I'm curious to see the stats next month

Can't get better than this

floating tents? huh.. how does that work? Is it all wobbly inside? Or is it just a regular hammock with a roof?

Nice!
