Honestly even if we just cut out pork…this animal is as smart as dogs and just as social and loving.

Santa has a history of, regardless of naughtyness, giving more and better gifts to children of those with capital. Not only that, he excludes people based on a religion litmus test.

Santa could end scarcity, but won’t.

I agree, but it takes less than 10 min and is more impactful than lemmy posts

To be more precise it is anti-US-imperialism and hegemony, which itself is a fine sentiment but when you’re willing to let any right wing dictator lead that fight you’ve really lost any credibility as a leftist.

The thing is, meta has a user base 100sx the size of the fediverse, and absolutely no incentive to EEE a project that is very very niche and inaccessible to a lay audience.

So much of my job is email and I was forced to use Outlook instead of Thunderbird a few years back. It feels like every day it is actually fighting me over every small task. Moments at work where I’d formally clear 2-3 messages, I’m now lucky to get through one. I’ve seriously considered finding a new job over it, but I know Office365 dominates my field these days.

I agree 90%, downvotes shouldn’t have that much weight. That said, comments which are abusive or hateful probably should have long term consequences for the user, even if they are themselves not worthy of a ban. Maybe reputation can be a “strike” for number of reported comments.

To be clear, here I’m thinking of “dogwhistle” comments which individually are plausibly fine, but in aggregate indicate this person is up to no good.

I know christians (or any religion) find interpretations of their religious texts to confirm their biases, but it’s not /easy/ to read the bible as anti-trans. Link

I know christians (or any religion) find interpretations of their religious texts to confirm their biases, but I can’t for the life of me think of a bible passage that can be interpreted as anti-trans.

It’s like the “religious” rejection of COVID vaccines. Conservatives complain about the “race card”, but this “religion card” is some bullshit.

I use Tusky on my phone but Trunks on my eink tablet. Really none of the apps are “good” on eink, but Trunks is the most usable.

I’m not sure blocking Meta is worthwhile in the long term. Say what you will about email, you still have some degree of choice over your host. I want better for the fediverse, but that’s still a marked improvement over mainstream social media.

In the short term, Meta wants to kill Twitter by collecting all its A-level users. I think this would be good for the fediverse, these are news outlets and poltiicians and etc making posts most people want the option to see in their feed. These are also users who want no-fuss platforms with some amount of “customer service”, and mastodon.social is simply not ready to provide that.

The issues it poses to re-centralization are an inevitable threat as the Fediverse grows. Unless there is a concrete plan to build protections and this is a stop-gap effort, I’m not yet convinced it’s worthwhile.

I know I’m not alone here, but truly a Letterboxd version of bookwyrm would be amazing. Esp if it had some integrations with Jellyfin.
