I mean, trump was crazy to suggest injecting bleach, but maybe eating it on a side salad helps with covid?

(please don’t try this)

For a site filled with users who are more tech-savvy than the average person, I’m surprised there is such a big dichotomy in views here. Or maybe it’s just one or two really vocal individuals.

I think everyone is agreed that the site is a cesspool that deserves to die. The issue is that getting ISPs to voluntarily block sites based on advocacy is bad. As the provider of a “digital human right”, ISPs should NOT get to decide who gets their service and who doesn’t.

The EFF isn’t supporting hate groups. What they’re saying is that an ISP block is a dangerous precedent.

you can’t use power delete anymore. sort your own posts by top (all time), and manually change the useful ones.

what are those things?

The only thing I did was use adblock to disable the red speech symbol for chat lol. Never even used it!

you can try selecting “don’t recommend this channel” on some of the more radical ones!

because reddit was a firehose of low-effort posts. A lot of times if you don’t reply quick enough your post gets buried under 100 other witty puns and nobody ever reads it.

damn, there are more top mods than i thought! I remember stumbling on one “powermod” but it turns out they aren’t even on this list.

hey you’re the guy who didn’t shit, how did that go!

yes, you can! you just have to search for “all” instead of “local” under Communities!

just google actually!

if you ignore beehaw (which is a bit of an oddball case), most of the main instances are federated, aren’t they?

Beans are an excellent source of vegetable protein and minerals such as iron, magnesium and zinc. They are rich in folic acid, an element associated with the reduction of such birth defects as Spina Bifida, and they also protect against heart disease. Beans are also a good source of non-lactic calcium.

you can stick with your instance and view across the fediverse (mostly) fine!

I would imagine running YouTube is still a net loss for Google.

I doubt it, youtube generates about 30 billion in revenue per year!

every time it lags, it’s because youtube has to send someone down to the basement to retrieve the correct blu-ray disc from a storage room

I started [email protected] about 2 weeks ago, and now it has an estimated 3.4-4k subscribers (depending on how the subscriber statistics work) and people are posting stuff.

It takes time, and it takes some effort on the part of the creator.

But you’re right, some communities will grow faster than others. I think there’s a balance between creating communities that are too broad vs super-specific communities for now!

reddit has what, 100M users? lemmy only has 1% of that for now. so things will be quieter at the start, but i’ve found that people are more engaged here!

Not a lawyer but I know a little bit!

So the Reddit user agreement (Effective June 19, 2023. Last Revised April 18, 2023) says:

5. Your Content The Services may contain information, text, links, graphics, photos, videos, audio, streams, or other materials (“Content”), including Content created with or submitted to the Services by you or through your Account (“Your Content”). We take no responsibility for and we do not expressly or implicitly endorse, support, or guarantee the completeness, truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any of Your Content.

By submitting Your Content to the Services, you represent and warrant that you have all rights, power, and authority necessary to grant the rights to Your Content contained within these Terms. Because you alone are responsible for Your Content, you may expose yourself to liability if you post or share Content without all necessary rights.

You retain any ownership rights you have in Your Content, but you grant Reddit the following license to use that Content:

When Your Content is created with or submitted to the Services, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, distribute, store, perform, and display Your Content and any name, username, voice, or likeness provided in connection with Your Content in all media formats and channels now known or later developed anywhere in the world. This license includes the right for us to make Your Content available for syndication, broadcast, distribution, or publication by other companies, organizations, or individuals who partner with Reddit. You also agree that we may remove metadata associated with Your Content, and you irrevocably waive any claims and assertions of moral rights or attribution with respect to Your Content.

What this means (I think) is that while reddit is forever allowed to use whatever you posted in any way, even selling and monetising it, the author retains copyright of their post/comments. So if you copy/paste something over from reddit, the author can claim copyright infringement, but not reddit.

Please don’t treat this as legal advice!
