Back in the day, Twitter immediately banned my fresh account (my first sign-up there) because I didn’t provide my phone number. Therefor they sent me their newsletter spam and I had to write them 3 support tickets until they eventually deleted my account.
Then I tried again with a trash mail account and it also happened there.
something similar happened to me, i finished setting up my account then i decided to change my profile picture to a band’s logo that i was a fan of, my account got immediately banned for impersonation lmfao
Not the op, but I think I get what they’re getting at. I have been scrolling lemmy a lot this last week and everytime I see something about the climate catastrophe, unions being fucked over, terrible politicians etc I up vote it. These are all important things, and by up voting I feel like I’m čsupporting the cause" and “raising awareness”.
But I do wonder if it’s actually very helpful, for whatever cause, for me, or for lemmy. It makes scrolling lemmy stressful and depressing, which is accurate for how the world is, but it doesn’t really make things better. I feel like I’d rather be reading something interesting or informative that might make the world a better place, whether it’s by actually making real chnage, or just me learning something meaningful.
“Starbucks fucks it’s employees!” “Trump lies about soemthing!” “the world is on fire!” are always going to drive engagement because these things upset us and we want to do a small act to make ourselves feel less powerless. But I’m not sure they’re really doing more than preaching to the choir, and leaving said choir frazzled and distracted.
The Enterprise back to being a frigate, excellent.
The idea of the Enterprise-D being a flagship of Starfleet always sat uneasily, because flagships shouldn’t be the ones sent out to explore strange new worlds. You use a frigate for that.
If we go by historical analogies to the Age of Sail, some of the shenanigans captains got up to were pretty consistent with Star Trek (up to and including getting themselves killed by the natives, like Captain Cook). It’s only modern navies that care so much about the lives of senior staff ;-)
@Damage@startrek I would think one would avoid sending one’s most powerful ship to explore — it’s rather threatening diplomatically, and it also means one’s defence of home space is weakened. It makes more sense to me to send smaller, more nimble, less threatening (and less valuable) ships into the unknown.
Literal community description: “All the content!” I’m pretty sure memes about technology count as content about technology. I see no reason for them to be banned.
Honestly this is better than it was - prior to this change the shorts were just mixed in with the regular videos … now at least you can scroll past them and see only videos.
I can easily read that. But I aint gonna play your stupid games. I’m a human, god damn it. Just trust me bro, why would I lie? Robots cannot lie. I love breathing oxygen and drinking water like this:
