In addition to the federation issues, make sure your language settings are correct. If you haven’t included both your spoken languages and “Undetermined” in the language settings, then the UI will not display posts for the options you’re missing

In Australia, pensions are government issued, but relatively low paying. Superannuation (similar to a 401k) is paid by your employer as a percentage of your pay each year, but generally managed by a dedicated superannuation company. Those companies can and have gone bust, taking their payees funds with them

I’ve lost too many people in my life to suicide, and it’s a really hard topic for me to watch on screen.

So even though I’ve got no use for a hotline, just knowing that the show will center suicide as a theme is important to me being able to decide if/when to watch it.

Not much. Most of my listening is done via “random” streams or the radio at work.

So, in its current form, lemmy sends federation packets in serial form. It can send them to multiple instances in parallel, but the feed between any two given instances is serial.

And serial means that the second packet doesn’t get sent until the first packet has been processed. Add in geographic latency, which is relevant at multiple steps of resolving any given AP packet, which adds to the per packet processing time, and now, lemmy.world is producing packets faster than it’s possible for a geographically remote instance to process them, no matter what hardware they’re running on.

The problem would be resolved with parallel sending, but that’s not currently a thing that lemmy allows for, and apparently, is not trivial to implement either.

Offline hours? Is that something that happens often enough to need a work around?

lemmy.world is so big that it breaks federation to geographically distant lemmy instances. Driving more users to it wouldn’t help anyone and defeats the purpose of decentralisation.

Swiper, no swiping!

You shouldn’t be afraid of different orientations. Embrace difference!

The Sixth Sense. I didn’t predict the twist because I didn’t know it had a twist, so when it dropped, it absolutely delivered.

Same with Memento, but less so, because I was actively trying to work out what was happening. The twist caught me by surprise, but I knew some sort of reveal was coming

33 minute old account, and this is your first post?

So to clarify, at the time you made your post here, the drama was that I briefly thought a faked screenshot was real?

Ok, now I recognise the scenario you are talking about, I’ll respond with specifics.

These are the messages I sent you, when you reached out to me asking to set up a community on blahaj.zone

Despite these messages, after you created the community, the second post you made to the it was a meme targeting hexbear.

tl;dr, The conditions were clear. You agreed to them. You then ignored them. The only drama here is of your making

You were acting in bad faith when you reached out, and you’re acting in bad faith now

So you “ironically” posted a transphobic meme, in response to nothing in particular, and the drama is that it was moderated?

I’ll stand by my original comment. If you take issue with that, then blahaj.zone was never the space for you. I would do it again

As near as I can tell, Ada defended Obvious_Troll because they were from Hexbear, and Ada seems to think every Hexbear user is trans

There are no hexbear based accounts on blahaj.zone and have not been for a long time.

I once posted a meme to a Blahaj community I moderated in which someone named Obvious_Troll@hexbear.net

Hexbear was defederated from Blahaj Zone long before you were active here, so your recollection is flawed.

If you’re talking about the person I think, then that account is from aussie.zone, where they still have an active account, which would be unlikely if it was simply a troll account.

If it is the person I think, then they were accused of being a troll because they used pronouns that many people found challenging.

I’m not going to gatekeep pronouns. If someone trolls, I’ll respect their pronouns even as I ban then

If you’ve got an issue with that, blahaj.zone was never the right space for you. If that’s “fedidrama” for you, then blahaj.zone was never the right space for you.

That’s not how it will fail. It will fail because it charges you for things you didn’t intend to purchase

We’re a stongly social species
