A friend of mine who is deep into conspiracies started sending me stuff on this company called Apeel all concerned about … pesticides? I don’t really have the time to watch all the videos and Instagram reels, so what is the issue with this company? Is it a legit concern or a crazy conspiracy? or something inbetween?

Right now, if I want to hide a post, I do one of two things: I either upvote the post (because I feel guilty downvoting just for hiding it) or click on the comments, forcing loading more data, even if I don’t care for the comments of a meme picture, for instance....

Hypothetically speaking. If we modified the airplane engines. Something harmless.

I don’t understand how ActivityPub works that well and I haven’t used Threads so maybe I just doing get it....

Everytime I click delete button. It does nothing.

Is there an equivalent to doing /u/user in The Bad Place, to notify and summon someone?

Given that threads is aping Mastodon, could they come after front ends here? Or is this just megacorp slap fighting/ an unexpected (but maybe predictable) outcome of the Twitter staff purges?

With all the current discussion about the threat that Instagram Threads has on the Fediverse and that article about how Google Embrace Extend Extinguished XMPP, I was left very confused, since that was the first time I’ve heard that Gchat supported XMPP or what XMPP actually is, and I’ve had my personal Gmail since beta (no,...

Turning off all connected experiences doesn’t work.

I know they roughly explained why, but it seems pretty insane they jumped the gun without having any of the users input and want people to go to another instance just for that community

Both utility bills and restaurant bills are demands to satisfy a debt after the service have been rendered. And in cases of rental properties, it’s refusal to pay even before the service (the legal right to reside in the property) is rendered, since most leases require paying on the first of the month. Why shouldn’t they all...

Is there a quick way to see what instances are federated with each other? I know for a while (and maybe still are) beehaw and Lemmy.ml defederated from Lemmy.world. Are they still defederated? Is it worthwhile to post on their communities if those users won’t see it?

I feel like I see signs everywhere now advertising it. Has this always been the case or just recently now that it’s a popular internet job

I got the "shutting down" message and I was signed out of all of my accounts. But the front page, posts, and comments are all still loading just fine.

I just never heard anything about it but heard so much from other, assumedly less powerful mods. I can’t remember the one’s name that was well known either…

I’m so confused. My sister was telling me about how Taylor swift is re recording her old music because scooter Braun owns her old music and she wants to have sole ownership over it....

I’m just curious what you folks think. The whole idea of the Fediverse seems to go against everything Meta has stops for with their existing platforms (Facebook and Instagram)....

I’m in US-GA and I cannot find denatured alcohol locally. WTF happened? I need something 100% alcohol for cleaning electronics.

So, I recently came across a post on lemmy.world (my current instance) where every comment showed up as “removed by mod”. I was curious to see what happened, so I opened the Modlog, filtered by “Removing Comments” and cycled through all the mods of that community (not sure if there’s a better way), but found absolutely...

I'm 36, and while my love life has been varied and interesting, over the last few years I've started to want to settle down. I know it doesn't happen overnight. But recently it's been weighing on me more and more. I reminisce about past relationships. I feel hopeless about meeting someone in the future who shares my values....

The dental industry in America is massive. Why is it such an important part of the American lifestyle?

Both platforms offer unique features, but also come with limitations. While Lemmy offers diverse content, it lacks robust tag metadata for organizing and searching images. On the other hand, boorus excel at categorizing images with tags but lack the discussion and the diverse content from Lemmy. Why haven’t we seen a platform...
