Having no filtering certainly had its pros and cons, considering how much traumatizing shit google would throw at me as a child lol
I understand your sentiment, but you do realize that in the end someone has to pay to keep that space running, right?
Well exposure to different accents can make you understand these kind of things.
They rely on donations, that part is correct. Are they in constant financial need so they are forced to ask users so often to donate? No, they are not.
Also keep in mind that while the server and developing costs of Wikipedia are one area of spending, Wikimedia spends money on a host of projects. Some of them you would probably consider more important than others.
have done so
Have nice holidays!
The Lemmy update notes in June said something about improved interoperability with WordPress though
Hey @nutomic@lemmy.ml quick question: how would I go trying to get this Wordpress blog to show up in lemmy as a community? Are we able to fetch like that yet? Thanks!
My half-asleep brain read that as “family-friendly” 💀
Oh you could absolutely meme about the protocol itself and the way it is implemented. lots of potential there.
I’m not sure the comparison to suicide holds up. I could just as easily compare it with migration where it is absolutely true that people will find a way to migrate even if you take away the easier methods. It’s simply completely different things.
Evolving ActivityPub is not easy, any additions to the protocol take a lot of time and discussions between the various implementers.
Thats probably a complete nonstarter in a federated network. The metadata needs to be sent via Activitypub, ergo it has to be public.
I see that this account has a few topics it posts on. Now, that alone doesn’t mean anything. Lots of lemmy users have their 3, 4 topics they are interested in and nothing more. Maybe they are an enthusiastic green party voter.
But that amount of posts in such a short timespan smells like a bot account.
If you want the pictures removed, your girlfriend should file a GDPR deletion request with the website. But coordinate that with the police because the worst thing could be the website deleting it and the police then going “we don’t see what you have described on the website, we can’t do anything”
for me it’s the Linux and Star Trek stuff
Come on, this list of reasons was written by an LLM
That photo (I’ve seen it circulate on the internet myself) is a photoshop. Every reputable source says that no one knows what happened to that man, and we have no evidence whatsoever of him getting run over.
Crushing people with tanks
Just a heads up, while it is established that the CCCP killed tons of people on that day, the idea that people were crushed with tanks is disputed in academia and mostly considered inaccurate news reporting.
The famous “tank man” photo shows a guy standing in front of a tank in order to prevent them from moving tanks to another part where the protesters had gone. We have no evidence that he was driven over by that tank.
Well since all major lemmy instances seem to hide mod names in their logs, we don’t know who the banning mods are.
Lemmy.ml also has the funny quirk that it doesnt have a proper legal imprint or team list afaik. So we don’t have actual transparent information on who is on that instances admin team and who is not. Iirc only one of dessalines and nutomic is on that admin team anymore.
