What, you’re just going to judge them based on their decades of previous behaviour?!

This isn’t even punitive, but just the cost of doing business. Protip, if the fine wouldn’t stop you from making the same business decision again, it’s not really a fine.

Can’t scroll past an air bnb post without stopping in to say fuck air bnb for its role in the housing crisis. It should be banned unless it’s owner occupied.

This. I want more strikes. I’m tired of everything going to shit and the masses sit back and do nothing. I’ve gone to a few protests recently, and honestly it’s cheap therapy for me. Feels nice to actually DO something.

I mean a fly could barely be in my ear and I couldn’t see it? Now if someone else can barely see it… Sure let’s lube that ear canal up.

For sure. But isn’t that what votes are for? As long as it’s not from obviously problematic sources I’m still not seeing a big issue here either.

I’m going to go ahead and say this is all by design.

Someone better make a fuck_planes magazine at this rate.

It’s a link aggregation site though. Like the memes and stuff might be OC, but news articles and the like make total sense to be posted by bots IMO. The comments and engagement is what I’m here for. The more posts that trigger and allow for that engagement the better

I’ll never understand the antibot sentiment. Reddit was filled with bots reposting stuff all the time too. Who cares? Let the votes decide if it’s good or not

Vitamin d, fish oil, magnesium, sulphoraphane (through broccoli sprouts)

They signaled for two more quarter point increases this year apparently - so not really sure what to think.

Are there any sites in the Fediverse written in .net? I’d like to contribute to these sites, but I haven’t touched PHP in over a decade.

I think awards might be a good source of revenue though?

This speaks to how bad Google has gotten IMO - I do it too.

I’m not convinced you need corporate money though. I think grants/user contributions (add the awards concept like Reddit has?) can get you pretty far a la Wikipedia.

I don’t want corporate social media full stop. As soon as there is a profit motive things will always slowly decay.

I just hope it’s viable to survive on grants/donors a la Wikipedia. Add some “awards” like on reddit, and that should help as well.

Yeah, the odd hangs are a little iffy (subscribing and upvoting). Though I actually like the UI so far since it’s very clean. If I care enough I could always implement my own custom CSS using the “Stylus” extension in chrome/edge.

I tend to agree. Just not sure comparing Lemmy to Mastodon is fair, since they seems like different platforms (eg. Reddit vs. Twitter).

Well that’s cool as hell - thanks for the info.
