Imma check those out. Thanks. :D

Wow, is that part of the reason why my feed sucks so bad? Seeing the same kinda stuff over and over again? I think I understand both sides of this argument. We’ve got users who are complaining of having their experience restricted with means outside of their control. They feel that perhaps defederation is a heavy-handed approach to this issue when a scapel will do. i.e. blocking and muting.

Then, we have those who advocate for a safe fediverse and view defederation as a means to that end. Or likely, from a more pragmatic perspective, they want to protect their own local instances and communities. I’m sure they’re thinking, “Dislike these restrictions? Too bad, find another instance.” And finding a new instance would solve your issues, for the most part. This is a tough problem I can imagine, and it sure does make for a less streamlined experience.

It seems that FOSS developers and the like are terrible at naming projects.

Thanks for this. I’ll give it a look. :)

Yes!!! Now if we could just get a Kbin app, that’d be great.

I can’t directly answer your question. I know very little about Mastodon, as I just recently made an account. However, from what I’ve seen with a variety of open-source projects, as well as the fediverse itself, it seems that group politics may often hamper the very projects “they” are trying to improve. I hope that people try to remain in the spirit of their projects, whatever they may be.

Hmm, interesting. I must ask, is there such a Black-centric community here on Lemmy/Mastadon? If so, hook a brotha up. :)

I’m curious, what do you have against metering lights? I’ve never encountered them, so I had to look them up. It seems they are installed to maintain the flow of traffic on off ramps and reduce congestion.

🤨 Be careful where you take this conversation…

They canceled that!?! Man, they really hyped it up. I planned on watching it. They cancel as soon as viewership drops. 🙄

Friggin’ incredible. I gotta salute him! o7

Yeah…I don’t understand.

Wait, WHAT!?! Really tells me they could just add content to the same game for 2 or 3 years as DLC and stop with the annual releases. Now THAT, I’d like.

Create a resource based economy that factors societal and environmental goods and losses and reward your citizens for the actions they take. It’s a gross oversimplification, to be sure, but one issue with capitalism is currency, in that it is amoral. It does not care what you do with it, and your only motive is the acquisition of it.

Uhh…that’s the uh, nuclear option…

What really raised my eyebrows was that the New Kleinfontein Mining Company shares its name with a white separatist Afrikaaner enclave.

I’m proud of your stepfather XD.
