I proactively remove disinfo accounts from piefed.social. Banned.

They eventually say that, yeah. But only after first saying a bunch of other misleading stuff.

Very misleading article. They’re not shutting down wordpress.org, just the registration of new accounts, plugin, etc

They’re deindexing ALL news, not just the union website.

I recently installed Planka and am very happy with it. It’s a straight clone of Trello except blazing fast and foss.

New PieFed instances download a list of communities from an instance of your choice OR https://lemmyverse.net/ and automatically subscribe the admin to communities that match certain criteria (recently active, reasonable number of subscribers, etc).

Like this: https://join.piefed.social/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/piefed_community_import.png

Although, the penalty for non-compliance is 10% of global turnover which would amount to close to £0 for most.

Yeah, that’ll get big fast so you’ll need some service that can give you a publicly-accessible URL to your files. There are endless discussions on the internet about cheaper alternatives to S3… Consider Backblaze - https://www.backblaze.com/cloud-storage/pricing or Cloudflare R2 - https://www.cloudflare.com/developer-platform/products/r2/

PeerTube is the obvious one.

Shameless promo time:

An alternative is to make a community on PieFed and set it so only moderators can post. PieFed is Lemmy-compatible but with better support for video posts. Check out https://piefed.social/c/crazyfuckingvideos@lemmy.world as an example of how it can look. Now compare it with https://lemmy.world/c/crazyfuckingvideos. It’s night and day.

PieFed doesn’t host video files so you’d need to put them on S3 or wherever (imgur is fine if the video is small/short enough like in this video https://piefed.social/post/366849) and then create a post with the url to S3 as the post url.

You’re comparing downvotes with “vile conspiracy hate fascist bullshit”. The behavior I’m talking about isn’t hurtful in the social-rejection way that downvotes are, it goes way way beyond that. Can you see the difference?

Normally I’d say it was a weakness but the right has significantly departed from reality in most countries for way too long now. It’s incredibly rare to find a right-winger who can be present in a discussion without spewing a whole lot of vile conspiracy hate fascist bullshit.

So I find their absence refreshing, desirable and a strength of Lemmy.

Ideologies tend to sort people into a limited number of overly simplistic categories. This makes theorising easier but applying it to reality much harder.

Very few people could live in a capitalist system and remain pure. e.g. My pension fund is invested in the stock market so I very partially own thousands of companies. I’ve also purchased a small amount of shares in selected companies, a situation I had more agency in creating. Sometimes I subcontract work to other contractors who function as my temporary employees. And so on.

A 4runner has a 4 liter engine, surely it can tow that tiny RV. Wtf.

It might be worth asking the dealer why the capacity is only 880 lbs. Maybe there is a simple upgrade that can be made to increase that because fundamentally a vehicle with an engine that size should be able to tow medium-sized boats, etc.

Small nitpick: the Democrats impeached him twice. They don’t get to choose who the DOJ prosecutes.

Mozilla claimed that it was rarely used

Ask your boss for an early christmas bonus. “Hey look I’m having a really hard time here. Money is very tight and I can’t afford to keep electricity running at home. An early bonus would keep me more productive than if I was bouncing around public libraries and coffee shops”.

Then use the bonus to buy what you need to live in a camp ground. Tent, warm sleeping bag, etc. There’s a world of difference between intentionally-and-planned-for-homeless and forced-homeless.

Is there a public library nearby? Get down there, plug in and use their WiFi.

Don’t think of it as stopping, quitting or denying yourself something. Get better hobbies. Take up a new interest. Fill your life with things that make trolling on the internet seem lame and stupid in comparison.

Which languages?

Explain to him the social cost he will bear. Friends and support network will drift away.
