Thanks for sharing this info with us, I for one appreciate the transparency. And thanks for the work the admins and mods put in to keep the spam at bay!

This is a beautiful song.

Get 2 smaller stones. Put them down in front of the boulder. As you push the boulder up, kick the stones along with it, so that the stones would hold the boulder in place for you. Get to the top, and get hit by lightning from angry gods for your impudence.

Meditation when I remember to do it, but the real game changer for me has been floatation therapy. And combining the two by doing guided meditation while I float is amazing and leaves me feeling a high that lasts for hours afterward.

For those wondering what floatation therapy is, you enter a large tub of super salty water and lay down. Because of all the salt, you will float instead of sink to the bottom. The one I go to lets you control the lighting and allows you to listen to different sounds or music, or some guided meditation. I usually turn the lights off, float, and let the guided meditation relax my body and my mind.

I’ve been seeing that error, and sometimes when I click on a post it sends me to an error page instead. Reloading seems to work, eventually.

I want to see spez on the stand, having to answer why he did this. Should be good for a laugh.

5 updoots says the rail companies were responsible for the upkeep on the bridge.

I owe you an apology, @sexy_peach@feddit.de . I didn’t mean to direct that comment only to you, but I see how it came across that way.

Upvotes and downvotes don’t have modifiers that let you say whether you agree or disagree, whether you think the comment is relevant, or whether you appreciate that someone took the time to respond but you disagree with their points. They’re too broad.

So without further information, like a reply, no one can really know why an upvote or downvote was cast.

So, would you care to discuss what I wrote in reply to your post?

Yeah, it was sad. One dude shouting to the void, basically. If that’s all it takes to get an instance defederated, then the Fediverse is doomed to be small oases in an ocean of fear and hatred.

I guess to some people, tolerance is conditional on whether you agree with what they said.

I’m not going to tolerate neo-nazis over here. I’m going to call out any of their shitty views and takes. Because they aren’t going away. Racism didn’t die, white supremacists didn’t fade away. Folks like to think they came back with Trump, but guess what? The call was coming from inside the room. It was always there, it was just taking a nap and waiting.

Cutting them off will just put them back into waiting mode, ready to pop up and spread their shit again. We, the society we, need to push back against their shit to keep regular folk from falling for their lies. It’s not going to be easy, and it’s certainly not a one person job. All of us need to do what we can, even if it’s just a downvote.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to unblock TheDonald to see what’s worth downvoting.

I just posted my comment in the Lemmy.ml thread, so we’ll see how THAT goes…

I just don’t get it.

Block the c/TheDonald community. That’s it. That’s all you need to do.

When it gets no visits, no views, and only it’s handful of users meme-ing each other, it’ll die. One of the big reasons TheDonald took off on Reddit was because of all the attention it got.

So, don’t give them attention. Don’t feed the trolls.

I’m not saying to tolerate neo-nazis. But running from them isn’t exactly a time proven strategy, either. They will exist, and it’s up to all of us to remind them that their views are garbage.

Click bait title, sounds like Musk talking out his ass again. No way either of them take the risk of injury or disability.

Hold up, HOLD UP. Do you love democracy?

We’re going to end up with sexy John Oliver posts, aren’t we?

All kidding aside, I think this is a great idea. I would put in another caveat though, that only users from this instance can vote for rule changes. But we should definitely invite ideas from everyone across the fediverse.

I don’t think spez cares about what kind of content gets posted, as long as something is getting posted. As evidenced by the glacial response to dealing with problem subreddits. This is also why he’s going to force the subs to reopen at all costs. He needs those posts being made, and he needs the users and lurkers to view those posts for the ad revenue. It’s also what will allow Reddit’s competition to eat spez’s lunch. Quantity is easy these days. But users will follow the quality.

I find it hilarious how he spilled the beans on how much the API has costed Reddit.

Huffman’s gripe is that some of these apps make millions every year using Reddit’s data, and the company has to bear infrastructure costs of up to $10 million every year, he told The Verge.

And so, he thinks he can charge a single app, Apollo, twice that amount? And what about the rest of the apps, I haven’t heard how much they would have had to pay. It’s absolutely reasonable for Reddit to try to recoup some or all of that cost for the API. I recall Apollo’s creator Christian Selig saying he wasn’t against paying for access, but it had to be reasonable. This just cements why he’s doing this. To kill the 3rd party apps.

TLDR: fuck u/spez.
