A Finn from a Finland. The same Tuukka as on piefed.europe.pub, piipitin.fi, kbin.melroy.org and social.porotokka.net :))
Well, okay, but the main point of why it’s a problem being mentioned in the files is that it means you are, at least to some extent, a supporter of sexual violence. And probably even paedophilia.
What I understand the post is trying to say is that these guys were all doing the same kind of horrible shit. It’s trying to hint that USA might have been rotten to the core right from the beginning.
The island is a symptom, not a cause.
Which Shift key?
The left one?
Or the right one?
Since you are apparently, on Lemmy, firstly press the magnifying glass button on the upper right:
Then, in this menu, choose “Communities”:
As last, write here something that makes sense, and you’ll get a list of communities mentioning that:
…and press [Search]
Choose something that is not on lemmy.ml, and get on posting :)
What can you do with this feature? Maybe there’s something like that but with some other name?
It’s also more possible founding an alternative comm if one is too crazy. And the idiot fanatics seem to concentrate on select few intances that you can just block :)
This is something a good moderator will handle :)
I would have needed to create a user account for Reddit in order to start using it. And there was never a need to.
Then there was an online community on Fecesbook that wanted to migrate to somewhere, and they chose the Forumverse. So, I joined a Lemmy instance. Then it turned out that there’s this thing called PieFed that I like a little bit more yet, so now I’m on PieFed and no longer use Lemmy.
I have heard Reddit can be a reasonably good alternative to PieFed/Lemmy/Mbin, but I figure this suits my needs better, so there’s no need to try any alternatives.
So… I kind of switched by only ever reading Reddit as unregistered and it being too impractical.
different stance to how blocking is handled, one far more abuseable
How is it more abuseable?
What things do they handle differently? I mean, PieFed has an equivalent of Multireddits and Lemmy does not, but Lemmy is about to have them if 1.0 comes out some year. That’s already been declared.
The same with flairs. Yeah, PieFed has them, Lemmy doesn’t, but Lemmy will have them if 1.0 comes out.
I wouldn’t say it’s “handling things differently” that one has implemented features that the other one is still in the process of implementing, but has already decided it definitely will implement them, at some point.
PieFed is essentially just future Lemmy.
Okay.
Just wanted to point out that PieFed and Lemmy are the same thing. There’s a reason to fight between Reddit and Forumverse, but whatever makes Lemmy grow is good for PieFed and vice versa. So, the meaning of the word “alternative” is very different when comparing Reddit with Forumverse, and when comparing various Forumverse softwares to each other.
Reddit is kind of “against” us, while PieFed and Lemmy play in the same team.
options are essentially PieFed, Reddit, or Lemmy
Reddit is actually a whole different system. Yes, it’s alternative for the whole of fediverse, as it is completely unfederated. It’s basically just one instance. Being a PieFed/Lemmy/Mbin alternative, it of course shares a lot of features with them (much more with PieFed, but a very reasonable amount with Lemmy as well!)
With PieFed and Lemmy and Mbin you have access to all the same posts and all the same communities, so they are alternatives to each other, and it mostly doesn’t matter a shit which one you go for. But Reddit is a different thing altogether.
You can check what Reddit ise over here: http://reddit.com/ . Try searching for any Forumverse posts there and you will see it’s not part of the Fediverse. You will not find any of our content there, unless someone who has created a user account also on Reddit has copypasted something to Reddit!
I hope this information was of use for you! 👍
Sorry, got a bit too creative with that one.
Part of the idea was to say that billionaires and trillionaires are extremely good in using their money in extraordinarily inefficient ways. Trickle-down, or whatever they call it…
Well, one could argue that it’s lunch that includes travel as a part of it :)
But good, let’s say that the lunch must be prepared of zero-gravity grown ingredients only, cooked using atmospheric friction, and delivered by parachute right at the table. 100 million might not be enough for this lunch, though.
instance Bezos is using, could someone defederate that one, please? I don’t want to give it any ideas!)
Spending 100 million on lunch is absolutely possible. What would it cost to organize a lunch on low Earth orbit? And do that so that you are back on Earth as soon as possible, for important employee span business duties.
I am able to follow an American movie by just listening to it, but if I do turn on the subtitles, I get a lot more out of it! I need to spend less of my brain capacity interpreting the foreign language and can use more of it for understanding the social context shown in the film. Or the scenery. I understand more meanings and can read better between the lines when I can see a decent translation into my mother tongue in the subtitles.
But also: Netflix and one of the Finnish TV stations save extremely much in their translations. That means the translations often contain gross errors or leave things outright untranslated. Even then the subtitles often help, because if my understanding of what was said and what I can read in the translation are about the same, then everything is probably fine.
In any case: My English is not all that bad, as you can see, but I still turn the subtitles on whenever I can, and I am much less interested in watching a foreign film without them.
I am largely unable to enjoy song’s lyrics in English if I cannot read them at the same time. In song lyrics the difference is much more noticeable than in movies. I can get about 75 % of the enjoyment of a movie even without subtitles, but lyrics in songs almost become just another musical instrument if I cannot have the lyrics in text format to follow while listening to a song in a foreign language.
Also, if I try to write something beautiful, it is usually best that I write it in Finnish and then translate it into English, because I can express myself so very much better in Finnish than in English! Takes more than twice the time compared to just outright writing the text in English, but the plot of a story becomes much better if I’ve written it down in my mother tongue. There will be more nuances in the people’s behaviour, and that translates into a more interesting text overall. Even after translation.
Many good answers have been given already. One more is that many people understand it would be better for the environment and their own health if they biked instead of driving a car. Yet getting a car was one of the symbols of having the means for a good life. If you are able to let go of your car, it shows that you have held pointless things as important parts of your identity. You don’t want to have been a moron, do you?
So, you suppress the idea that you could be doing something else than what you are doing. And other people bicycling is kind of in-your-face. They show that you could have an alternative, and that causes a feeling of guilt in you. And that feeling of guilt is uncomfortable, and the people riding their bicycles are what have triggered that feeling. In other words: They have ruined your day by making you feel guilt. A completely self-created guilt, but an annoying feeling all the same. And then you hate everything that is connected to those people that keep ruining your days by the virtue of visibly existing.
This is not necessarily the reason for all of the people opposing bike infrastructure, but it is one of the important reasons for many.
Nope.
Agreed, absolutely.
