MOD: In light of reports related to homeopathy:

There is a studied and demonstrated harm associated with homeopathy. However, claims made in ignorance of this will not be removed as misinformation at this time.

“I’m mad at this decisive step in the right direction.”

Common dreams is agitprop trash.

I’m not a programmer, but I don’t think I’d pay for code that was 95% accurate. That sounds buggy af

94. It’s 98 if you include the ones kidnapped before October 7. They include citizens of the US, UK, Thailand, Argentina, Nepal, and Serbia, as well as tender age children.

“Sorry, cough cough. I’m just feeling too gay to come into work today. It’s a bad case - I think it might be catching!”

Not the same guy and it’s from 2014.

Maybe you should examine whether it makes sense to silence Jewish voices on the anniversary of a Jewish massacre because of a decade-old blog post that wasn’t even written by the person quoted.

Boy, we sure didn’t have to wait long for someone to show up and blame Israel for a French person terrorizing French Jews in Jewish spaces on the anniversary of a French terrorist killing and injuring French Jews. Predictable and tiring, but still pretty disappointing.

Lemmy does have the capability and some instances use it. I’m not exactly sure how it works.

Please report any rule breaking behaviour. We cannot see everything.

A default instance is not ideal, but adding a barrier to joining is counterproductive. If someone has an interest in a specific area, they should be directed to join programming.dev or slrpnk.net etc. If they want a general purpose instance, then they should just be assigned a default.

Personally, I started the signup multiple times because there are hundreds of servers and if you haven’t already used the platform it’s impossible to know what you need.

Anyway, more than promoting Lemmy as a platform, we should be promoting Lemmy content. Mostly it is publicly visible without an account, and if someone sees Lemmy links 5-10 times, they may start wondering what they are missing out on.

Mod: The context was unfortunate but it appears to be sincere and it is absolutely appropriate to post hotline information in a thread discussing a death by suicide.

I like it but I really think we spend too much time explaining the home instance. We should put a lot less emphasis on it because it’s stressful to people. Just invite them to join your home instance and they can change in the future if they want.

Really interesting - I never used something like this but certainly see the value

Here is your reminder that wolves are good for rivers.

How does lineage stack up to graphene? My impression is that lineage is more designed for older phones to extend the useful life, while graphene is more focused on privacy and security, and only works on limited devices.

Am I understanding the gist of it or have I missed the plot?

I had no idea that you could make so much money by being a terrible doctor. I picked the wrong career.
