He paid for a server upgrade, he’s gonna get his money’s worth.

No, a third voted for Trump. Another third sat at home and didn’t express their one voice to make a change at all.

That would be fine with me if they had no effect on me and lived in a vacuum. Which I propose we put them in. The vacuum of space or a vacuum tube at the bottom of the ocean, either works for me.

I too use jerboa. I liked connect, but I couldn’t block communities with it and nsfw tags only worked on first image of multi image posts.

I’m guessing you have no idea that the mods of world and shitjustwork talked with the mods at behaw, and they all agreed it was the right thing to do at the time. You obviously don’t know the situation, or understand that the fediverse is not supposed to work like a centralized platform.

If you don’t want to color with your opinion, use a different word than shadowban. They didn’t do this with malice as the connotations of that word would imply.

Kbin also has a user karma system, which I want nothing to do with. I feel it’s a system that was abused on reddit and didn’t make anything better.

While I think it would be more than a few minutes, this would still limit people’s time on Twitter. I can’t imagine advertisers are super happy about that idea.

I expect it from reddit, Twitter and Facebook. This is a competitive service, and it’s not backed by a rich person that can swing money around to discover their behavior and sue them. They’ll likely be doing some shady stuff to make sure this either doesn’t work, or is under their control.

I know of a sub that would make a great venue.

Sometimes it’s a circle, sometimes it’s a Mickey Mouse hat on Ron DeSantis’ head.

This just is, foxes will protect your chickens if you leave the gates open says business man I. R. Fox.

So it’s only a concern for Americans then?

I feel what we’re seeing is a lack of OC from actual humans, that is being filled in by your standard karma farming bot. Doubt we’re at the AI filled posts time yet. Thinking those will be less obvious, and show up over the next couple months. So glad I’m part of a site without user karma. It means reposts are likely from passionate users rather than bots.

This is true, nothing is exactly equivalent, bad choice of words. It’s not remotely equivalent either though. An equivalent scenario would be if immigrants showed up to the border, and were turned away, but also had a 1000 other places the could go within a few feet. And it applies to everyone making demands of server owners. Make an appeal for your wants. If they ignore it, find a server that fits better.

Yes, because selling your home and moving your family and all your belongings several hundred miles is exactly equivalent to making a second lemmy account. Expecting sever owners who invest time and money into this to cater to your wants when making a second account is too hard is fair and doesn’t come off as whiney behavior at all either.

And my axe!

I just wish the orphan crushing machine wasn’t so slow. JUST DO IT!!! Or preferably don’t and stop sucking, but I know that won’t happen.

I suspect they could’ve overcharged still, but just shut their mouths and continued as normal. Each new tactic is awful and self harming.

If there’s one thing I’ve come to realize during this whole debacle, it’s that they absolutely can, and probably will tomorrow.
