Yeah, your tech is now under the control of Donald Trump. That’s the issue.

Although the jury is still out as to whether Bad Bunny is gay or not, he has announced that he is going to perform the halftime show wearing a dress, in solidarity with Puerto Rico‘s rich history of drag queens.

So, yeah. That.

Some copywriter had a field day with this headline

Yeah, I’m sure they do

And I bet Nvidia AI systems get to train on that massive pirate haul of literature, now available to Nvidia without worrying about any messy copyright bullshit.

But also when they would ban someone, they would do so from every single community on their instance, including ones that you’ve never even heard of.

this is what I was talking about earlier. I find it to be an absurdly childish overreaction, and the mods & admins on some communities/instances default to this behavior with a ridiculous amount of entitlement. it's not hard to see just by looking at the modlogs.

And also deny you the ability to appeal or ask questions - e.g. Reddit has both a modmail and the ability to continue discourse directly in a post that has been removed from a community listing.

I find this to be a huge shortcoming of the platform, and something that contributes to a lot of "account churn" where users evade bans my instance-hopping and creating new accounts.

Oh, and soon a change is going to give lemmy.ml veto power on what communities are allowed to be suggested to new instances - and being baked right into the code so there is no way to change that - rather than use a third-party listing.

well, fuck that

just another reason to switch to PieFed

when I first joined up during the reddexodus, I followed the lemmy drama a bit, but I'm really over it by now. after 30+ years of following online community drama, I'm just burned out on it. it's all so petty and childish, it holds no interest for me anymore.

oh, sorry-- .ml

I haven't personally run afoul of issues on dbzer0, but I've seen others complain about it for a while.

OK, maybe so. I blocked that instance a long time ago, and haven’t kept up on recent goings-on. If you say that it’s gotten worse, I’ll take your word for it.

Not “or“. This also needs to happen, but Alabama already had a serious lack of qualified OB/GYNs. While things like this, make it worse, the underlying issue in Alabama is both the terrible education system, and a serious lack of good paying opportunities that would attract more qualified doctors to the area.

oh, the irony
