  • No, that’s fucking delusional. The correct answer is that they know what the doctor did risked a patient’s life and/or complicated their surgery, and they don’t want to be in any way able to be received as liable.

    “Of course we wouldn’t force a doctor to leave surgery, that’s ridiculous.” Is covering their asses from lawsuit, plain and simple. If they said “oh we are sorry for the confusion” or “we are glad that the doctor took the time to resolve the issues asap, that’s great patient care” they would be immediately eviscerated in the courts.

    Their only course of action is to respond as through they’re unaware of the culture of fear they’ve created (and, tbh, they might actually fucking be unaware). This response is legal & PR 101 and regardless of their actual evil deeds is pretty much the only sane way for them to respond.




  • You do, they just don’t see much activity and therefore people assume they do not exist.

    Discoverability is becoming a big issue for niche communities within Lemmy.

    I almost wish that the community model was more like a tag, and there was just one single “plumbing” for all instances, for example. I realize though that this idea raises hell for moderation/what do you do when someone takes over a name for hateful purposes/where does the sidebar exist/etc.

    Having separate comms on separate instances just results in the biggest instance hosting all the communities; at what point is that any better than Reddit?












  • I just threw away a Frigidaire window unit that looked really cool but it barely worked after 2 years and they just deleted it from their smart control app - like straight up removed it as I was using it and was like “oh so sorry not supported anymore!”

    I own a microwave by them and I am looking to replace it now, even though it works reasonably well. Fuck Frigidaire right in their stupid fucking asses.
