feddit.uk clocks in at under £40/month. That’s hosting, and backups. lemmy.zip is similar.

Plus our time, but we’re obviously doing it as a labour of love.

I wonder if someone could convince a LLM that they were a sovcit.

“I don’t understand. I bought a ceiling fan with razor edge blades to scare off burglars, but it fell down and decapitated grandma”

Countries toeing the line to allow CCP China to save face, while also selling defense equipment to Taiwan.

But they are ready to take the jobs of motivational speakers.

And it’s also “Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!”, so Jenner utterly mangled the quote too.

Belfast and Dublin would have been nice.

I can’t see how anyone involved with allowing this isn’t complicit.
What possible reason did the police of a foreign nation need to be physically there for, other than physically removing someone?

You will be truly British once you register on feddit.uk

In seriousness, I like to think it’s a state of mind. If you find yourself generally aligning most with the more positive British attitudes, you’re British. Though living in Wales, you may end up feeling more Welsh eventually!

If you want to feel more connected, try getting involved with local festivities and traditions.
Explore the countryside with the Ramblers. Do some pub quizzes. Go to a folk festival.
The sorts of things that involve you with pleasant people.

If any federated banning networks do pop up, I’d expect them to form groups, with different groups having different standards. And the idea being that if someone’s banned from one place with similar standards, the rest of the group probably wouldn’t welcome the content.

It’ll come down to places and groups being reasonable, and not banning for stupid reasons (at least by that group’s standards). And if they are unreasonable, it’ll reflect on the group, as nobody would bother posting to those instances any more.

And in a way, the ultimate “ban” will be with the host instance, similarly to email.
An admin at lemmy.world might get a report that an account is spreading csam links everywhere, and to consider banning them, for example.

They have boiled one of the most well cooked frogs in the entire tech industry

Plus, there isn’t that much by way of an alternative for the same money. Edit: I’ve just done a little legwork, and Tidal might work for me… Even with the recent price hike, it’s £4/user/month for a family plan, for access to 95% of the world’s music.

For all its flaws, and really hit-and-miss algos, I struggled to find something better for around the same money.

Honestly? It’s tricky to find communities that give you a spread.

I can recommend picking an instance that has a secondary alignment with you (for example, country/state), as they’ll tend to pick up posts in All that may be of interest other than politics.

(Though tbf, our instance still leans left on whole. Just not so crazily)

Hell of a way to bury the announcement.

TIL my car has been making speedcore every day for the last decade.

I’ve been really pleased with the feddit.uk community so far. It probably helps that a lot of us are geographically similar.

Simple solution:

• Send the elephants to the uk
• Sunak pays to have them sent on to Rwanda.

Botswana has fewer elephants.
Sunak can claim to have deported 20000 imaphants.
Rwanda gets a truckload of money from the UK.

This is precisely it.
One other point is, some instance want to focus on certain things, and take the risks, where others don’t.
Our community feddit.uk doesn’t do nsfw, because it’s not worth the headache for what our main focus is.
The guy running lemmynsfw on the other hand, is enthusiastically embracing the challenges involved, and more power to him!

And in the end, it works. We handle Mr. Brains Pork Balls, they can handle…other balls.

Sounds like a job for the Forrester WRX STi.

It was sold kinda on the cheap, but it did dig us out of a hole. (Can’t believe I’m defending the milk snatcher…)

You can pick an instance that aligns with the way you like to be. But those instances are still kept in check because if they get too shit, they get defederated.

For example, feddit.uk can operate in a uk-style way for which words we do and don’t find offensive, and the level of piss-taking we do.
