I’m going to get one at the ~$300 level. Their discord channel is pretty active. David and some of the collaborators show up there pretty often. https://discord.gg/nS2PqEC

Ahh. That explains a lot. Thanks.

Maybe another stupid question, but how does someone mod 50+ communities? I imagine a low-traffic sub would be easy, but a high-traffic one is bound to attract lots of a–holes who need comments deleted/banning/reporting, etc.

Is this a 24 hr/day gig? Do these mods have day jobs?

I guess my main questions are how do they do it, and why do they do it.

Well, if you’re on desktop and you don’t mind installing scripts on your browser, there’s a Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey script. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/141704

Edit: wrong link

I think in the early days it was because most here were left-leaning or libertarians, but now that the general public is starting to move in, it’s more neutral/slightly negative.

Ok that pisses me off.

You federated wrong. You’re actually on Legume-ey.world

I’ll see myself out.

I guess I’m just a cynic, but I assumed this was in reference to a politician who recently received a golf simulator from a campaign donor. He didn’t disclose it in accordance with state law concerning gifts over $100, but I’m sure he meant to but forgot.

Or it would just be a random post.

When I was growing up, back in the Paleozoic era, I’m pretty sure it was illegal to have a red light on the front, white light on the back(except for backup lights), and blue or green were illegal anywhere on a vehicle. But all that seems to have gone out the window since then.

Of course any vehicle that’s been modified to produce excess smoke violates federal (EPA) and possibly local law, but we see how well that’s enforced.

I think these numbers are inflated, but the problem is still pretty bad.

Part of the problem is we have some politicians here that thrive on uneducated voters. Uneducated voters also tend to be more racist, and racists are a really reliable voting block if you speak their language. Also, they tend to believe “news” that corresponds with what they already believe, so social media and telemarketing works really well on them. Abortion and contraception bans increase the number of children born into poverty, who won’t get a decent education and will rely on what they learn from their parents or TV.

So education funding rarely gets increased.

Nice! Looking forward to the next Unigine benchmark.

We’ve a got higher share than Win 7 & 8, closing in on OSX. One step at a time.

There’s no hate like Linux on Linux hate.

I’ve always heard puns were. I don’t believe it though. I mean a good pun is its own reword.

Awesome! I’ve been looking for copies of that online.
