I reported a bunch of Republican saying the F and T slurs on Facebook yesterday, and every single report said it didn’t go against community standards. Facebook is shite.
I was reading through that for something to refute but it’s all just flowery words to the point of pretentiousness for the most part imo. You have to pick your battles, the average person would benefit from a bit of stoicism and knowing when it’s actually time to fight and not cry wolf
Sticks and stones may break my bones, and single words here and there won’t hurt me, but en masse they normalize an attitude of supremacy and derision toward folks that super don’t need any more. No snowflake thinks they caused the avalanche, but lots of us have to live with the consequences of this in daily life regardless. Shock value slurs are also just… tired and played out at this point. Whatever humor they had at one point doesn’t really land in the same way anymore.
I’ve straight up reported bot scammers in groups, and had my comments removed from their posts because I was supposedly spamming. With a single comment. All the while those accounts continue to operate, posting the same shit everywhere. Fuckin clown world in there.
People, if an instance is crumbling, sign up to another instance! When you are able to use lemmy.world again, use lemmy2opml/lemmy_migrate (or any other tool that works, there’s a list on the Awesome Lemmy Github page to migrate your followed communities to the new instance.
You actually can, you just append @lemmy.world to the community name when accessing from another instance that’s federated with lemmy.world and once lemmy.world comes back up your contributions will be there. Any instance that’s federated with the instance your posting from will be able to participate in the discussion with you for that matter. The only thing you can’t do with a community when the host instance is down is subscribe to it. It would still get added to your subscriptions though if you try, the hosting insurance just won’t know until it comes back up and eats through the outboxes of federated instances to “catch up”.
Edit When it does come back up it’ll also get any messages that are in federated outboxes as well so your posts will ultimately show up on the host instance, just posted by your alt account
say I am part of a community of /c/weirdstuff that’s on lemmy.world.
if lemmy world is down how do my comments get to lemmy.world? are they stored on whatever instance I am registered on and then synced to lemmy.world once it’s up?
Ok but the question that arise is:" if the community is duplicated on every server that access it, isn’t it a little bit of a waste of computational power and disk space ?"
Expecially considering now Lemmy is pretty small, but in the future you could hopefully have a much larger audience
Well in a way yes but that’s how the federation/decentralization works. It’s like with email everyone gets a copy and if a message doesn’t go through to someone it can be redelivered.
Centralized services are usually more efficient than decentralized but that’s not the primary goal of the fediverse
Centralized services are usually more efficient than decentralized but that’s not the primary goal of the fediverse
My main concern with this is, if only a handful of centralized social network reached long term stability, and most of them are unprofitable, how can Lemmy (or any other foss fediverse project) completely hold itself on 2 unpaid developers and immense unpaid work from volunteers in the long run.
Because ok, Lemmy.world is looking for experienced sysadmin and that post already had a little backslash, but this isn’t sustainable long term, it’s impossibile to keep scaling like that.
And I feel that’s one of the biggest reasons holding back the fediverse
From the 2 developers and The volunteers… The same can be asked about a lot of foss software. Typically what stabilizes foss development though is when developers start getting paid to contribute to the project by a company they work for, however lots of foss software has made it purely through donations (easiest example being mediawiki and wikipedia)
Web hosting is definitely the harder question. In the grand scheme of things, lemmy instances and other fediverse tech will likely end up being pseudo-centralized with a handful of companies like email. Lemmy is very resource intensive as you guessed. The good news is that a very large amount of that resource consumption is storage, and storage is cheap. Though I know I’ve seen tehdude, the owner of the sh.itjust.works instance, another very stable one, comment on how CPU, networking and memory intensive a busy instance can get. A lot of the early 500s instances were seeing were definitely caused by resource constraints.
Where this really sucks is in programming when you write things like “The {{objectType}}” in your translations file.
Your program will replace objectType with the actual thing, so “The Ball”. All good, right? But then every other language has the weird conjugation, so “El Bola” doesn’t make sense anymore…
Some languages also consider different numbers in different way. I have one ball, two balls, and zero balls. Zero might not be plural like in English. Also, some language have a dual distinction that changes thing when there are two of something (not just singular and plural, but singular, dual, and plural).

ok it seems like this unhealthy strange flag mania is not a us only thing? I thought it exists only on the left side of the ocean, Who cares about this things. You waste so much time debating about unnecessary things
if you want to burn it, burn it, if you want to drop it on the floor drop it, and fold it the way you want. it’s just a fucking flag, a piece of cloth
How could they light that flag at all? There is this video of a guy trying to light an eu flag. But he can’t do it because of eu standards of making flags from inflammable material: files.catbox.moe/smydgl.mp4
The flag seems to be “on fire” for the first second or so before going out, I’m pretty sure that the guy was trying to relight it (the inflammability of the material was already demonstrated, hence the cut).
So in other words, yes it burns, but not very well
If you're in occassional discomfort and it's impacting your wellbeing having an aspirin once in a while is probably not a huge deal.
If you have recurring pain constantly or frequently then you need medical attention and you should follow that guidance, not what anybody says on the Internet.
Thank you. People with chronic headaches or migraines are the ones that should not follow this advice, as painkiller-induced headaches are a thing and only make matters worse. Just see a doc.
As for occasional headaches: It’s going to be a lot easier fixing the issue that lead to a headache once you don’t suffer.
