  • Well, if the moron was gonna defederate you anyways, its not like you’d ever have wanted to be on his instance and beholden to his rules. Like I said, we’ve got all sorts of instances out here - you just have to find your niche. From straight Marxist instances like lemmygrad to the exact opposite over at exploding-heads, to pirates over at dbzer0. Whatever you’re into, it’s probably here - just maybe not at lemmy.world. Try out lemm.ee or sh.itjust.works, or ask around for whatever instances fit your style. There’s even full, anti-censorship free speech absolutist instances around here if you take a look around.


  • That only applies to specific instances, or even specific communities. Just switch to a different instance or community, or make your own. If you don’t like lemmy.world, try out either exploding-heads or lemmygrad, depending which way you swing, and vice versa. Somewhere out there is the community and instance for you, and if none of them are to your taste, nothing’s stopping you from making your own - that’s the beauty of the fediverse.












  • What is not banned?

    Surprisingly, there is a whole slew of exempt special-purpose bulbs that will continue to be manufactured, according to the Energy Department. Here’s what manufacturers can still build and stores can continue selling:

    • Appliance lamps, including fridge and oven lights
    • Black lights
    • Bug lamps
    • Colored lamps
    • Infrared lamps
    • Left-handed thread lamps
    • Plant lights
    • Floodlights
    • Reflector lamps
    • Showcase lamps
    • Traffic signals
    • Some other specialty lights, including marine lamps and some odd-sized bulbs

    I mean, good for the effort, but that’s still a lot of exceptions.
