That’s why I’m on Lemmy.World. I made a new account as soon as I found out they were removing posts from people for orientalism. It’s great the modlog is so transparent. The greatest thing about having instances run by different people unassociated with each other is you can just do that… go to a different instance where things are much more aligned to you morally.
You have less to worry about here than you do on a place like say Reddit where they can do it pretty discretely and you’d be none the wiser until it happened to you.
I think it’s a lot more because the internet was a niche. It’s something your parents/family or weird creepy uncle wasn’t on. All these old memes still feel “untouched” by facebook and it feels like an in-joke. In other words memes felt more special.
4chan was onto something, once memes became mainstream they died… a little hyperbolic but they do lose their fun factor being more popular now.
In fairness, I have just been doing this when mildly infuriating was born (5 days ago) and I want to ensure I am doing enough in terms of respecting the original poster. It is a good suggestion though.
I guess a template of “Repost from [username] on [insert website]” would do fine." Good comment!
Whilst Lemmy is growing and trying to compete in content against the goliath that is reddit it needs to be reposted so to speak. I’m not about taking original or potentially original posts and claiming them as my own so it’s good practice to source the location of the original.
We are competing with a platform that has existed since 2005, it’s no easy task. You may find posts that are original posts. Just again best practice. Source the original.
Company: You need to have everything ready before the start of your shift.
Me: Do I get paid for coming in early?
Company: No
Me: Okay, if I’m starting before my shift time then I am going home early to make up for the lost time.
Company: If you leave 1 minute early we have to deduct an hour from your wages
Me: leaves
Company: nobody wants to work anymore.
Companies have normalised wage theft but call it what it is. It’s theft.
These people care more about an unborn baby than they do about the baby after it’s born. Actually sad.
If every one of these anti-abortion assholes want to start taking the babies of families who cannot raise them then it wouldn’t be seen as just a disgustingly hypocritical movement. That is not the case. If you want to start forcing women to have babies they can’t care for but you don’t want to take care of the consequences of that, you are the problem.
Nobodies out here delivering fully sized aborted babies for shits and giggles. Pregnancies are painful and traumatic enough.
Of course they aren’t going back. We saw how arrogant spez was. There was no doubt in my mind he is just going to rely on the fact that most people are rarely committed enough to do anything.
My expectation… Some will stay with the fediverse. Others will see the blackout as a “we did everything we could” and then go back, business as usual.
I for sure will not be back. I like RIF and it is the only way I browse. With RIF gone so too am I.
It’s fucking annoying, admittedly edge is good on its own merits, but you know what pushes me to not want to ever use your product? Anti-consumer practices.
I have been very happy in using FF for my main browsing. It has adblock, NoScript and SponsorBlock. Since I use NoScript I jump on Edge when I want to use a trusted website for payments but I really want to use it less when it does this shit.
I can’t wait for the excuse “OoOooh wooooops, that’s a bug! Sowwy EU we did not mean to do anti consumer pwactices” as a way to dodge blame
