Welcome to the Fediverse!

I will say, just like Reddit, we have our share of insane mods, but nobody can get banned platform-wide b/c they can just join a federated instance if their instance owner kicks them out (this is both a positive and a negative; community mods are under a lot more pressure to prevent illegal stuff on a per-comm basis than on Reddit).

Modlogs are public, so you’ll never really not know why something got removed and by whom, even if you disagree with their decision.

I left Reddit when they killed 3rd-party apps, so I never got to experience the wonderful censorship of today’s Reddit experience. Having been here now a couple years, this place feels a lot more human to me, despite (or maybe due to?) it being a lot smaller. I like it here better tbh and I hope you will too. The more the merrier!

I recommend checking out !trendingcommunities@lemmy.cafe if you’re looking for active communities, since they can be a bit harder to find than on Reddit. Also, don’t forget to block the .ml instances, they’re filled with tankies (unless you want that on your feed ig lol).

Depends on the platform - some federated instances (e.g. mine, Mbin) keep a tally of a user’s total upvotes minus downvotes as an overall “reputation” score

Musk already suggested it a few months ago

I think it means that Trump is replacing her with someone else, not that he’s taking both positions. I was confused at first too.

From the article:

President Donald Trump says he’s replacing his embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and will nominate in her place Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin.

The headline is just really stupidly worded.

Omg a fellow snek boi :D

It’s like SQL but worse!

Damn…

Best I can do is a small white scribble over the “i”

Sounds exactly like him tbh

Turns out this article is from 2023, but here you go - search the page for “sexual activity” and you’ll find it

The very worst offender is Nissan. The Japanese car manufacturer admits in their privacy policy to collecting a wide range of information, including sexual activity, health diagnosis data, and genetic data — but doesn’t specify how. They say they can share and sell consumers’ “preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes” to data brokers, law enforcement, and other third parties.

What the actual fuck

Looks like your sink is using the wrong firmware. Have you tried using modprobe to switch to the legacy one? The faucet won’t work properly but your dishes should at least load

Please tell me someone gets this lol

I can dream lol

Really? That’s new, I signed up this morning and it just worked. They must be being hammered by people leaving Discord too

Fluxer.app looks promising. It’s still in very early dev, but according to the site:

These features are coming soon:

• …
• Opt-in E2EE messaging
• E2EE calls
• Federation
• …

The public beta looks pretty good but it’s currently very slow. There is a large refactor going on so I’m hoping for the best, but even in its current state it seems to support many of Discord’s biggest features quite well.

I wonder how he got it…

This is the way

I mean, if all you want is a video game box, and you don’t care about privacy, security, or customizability, Windows is more compatible, sure. I wouldn’t call it better.

The games I enjoy (e.g. Portal 2, No Man’s Sky, Split Fiction to name a small few) all get noticeably better performance on Mint via Proton than on Windows. But games like Destiny 2, Fortnite, etc. with their invasive anti-cheats will never work on a system that respects the user’s privacy.

So if what you want is compatibility, sure, Windows is king. But you do pay a price.
