AMAs are the latest casualty in Reddit’s API war

Lol I remember someone in that thread asking Woody if he remembered taking a high school girl to her prom and knocking her up. And the social media manager faking Woody’s involvement just answering “can we stick to the movie?”

What's a true fact that is so misleading it's borderline misinformation?
Non-preventable deaths are about 95%.

Against Lemmy Karma
Reply in thread
Karma was originally visible raw upvote / downvote tally. Reddit just obscured the upvote and downvote numbers to discourage manipulation for karma.
Limiting participation based on karma didn’t happen for a long time. By the time some huge subreddits took that step, it (or some other gatekeeping) was necessary to filter a lot of malicious users.

Any idea how this new law will affect instance operators?

From the Act:
- "Social media company" means a person or entity that provides a social media platform that has at least five million account holders worldwide and is an interactive computer service.
So it’s a nonissue.
Also, is there formatting on here? I just defaulted to my old habit of > for quote text.

I have an alternate solution: Let them in, and harass them mercilessly beyond the purview of Meta rules.

Biden renews call for assault weapons ban after ‘tragic and senseless’ spate of July 4 shootings

They are definitely not misleading. They break it down in the same page by suicide, accidental killing, and etc. https://www.gunviolencearchive.org/
So it’s 9,611 as non-suicide deaths. That’s 51 per day and 2 per hour.

Relish it. Go through your receipt and verify every item is in the bags. Bonus points for ticking off each entry with a pen and confirming the SKUs are correct.

If this website accomplices nothing more than educating people about Motörhead, worth it.

That and a limit of 3 per user per day seem rational.

For those who grew up without DLCs and microtransactions and games went unchanged after launch. How has the adjustment been to current day monetization and game updates?
Dude we’re old af and don’t have time to finish the games themselves. We sure as shit don’t have time to play extra levels on top.

Insurance in US
Reply in thread
Private health insurance is going to cost you ballpark $400/month, provide no coverage for any preexisting conditions, provide no coverage for your family members (just the enrolling individual), you will typically pay the first $10,000 or so each year before your insurer covers any of the costs, and if you end up needing to use it a lot they will cancel you the next year.
Affordable Care Act coverage will cost about the same but cover preexisting conditions, you can usually cap your own cost for regular checkups to $20, and they won’t cancel you the following year unless the insurance company leaves the marketplace entirely.
Private employer provided coverage varies wildly depending on the size of the employer (because they have more leverage in negotiating with insurance companies) and the employer’s own ideas.

Does Wefwef have Christian’s blessing? It’s so good, and I don’t wanna see it get shut down.
… why would it possibly be “shut down” and who would do it?

Continuity and risk management of Sopuli
I’m not trying to be overly dismissive of your concerns, but aren’t most instances run on some dude’s spare computer for shits and giggles? I wouldn’t expect continuity or risk management at all. But also, nothing is lost but a little convenience if one disappears.

By far, especially when you consider that a user can only commit one suicide but multiple homicides. Also, suicide is often a tragedy of convenience. The easier it is to accomplish, the more likely a person in a bad place mentally will try. Firearm accessibility eliminates any logistical barriers that might slow a person long enough for them to reconsider.
