What do you mean by “don’t move the Overton Window”? It’s not supposed to be a static thing. Once it didn’t include things like voting rights for women, or gay marriage. It’s supposed to be a flexible thing.

I could, but it would only reinforce their belief they’re victim here. Nothing would change.

Removed as a protest against the community’s support for campaigns to bring about the deaths of members of marginalized groups, and opposition to private entities working to prevent such campaigns, together with it’s mindless flaming and downvoting of anyone who disagrees.

As a postscript for this discussion only, be aware that virtually all the replies to my comments quote me out of context, or claim I’ve made arguments I haven’t. It’s safe to disregard them.

Quoted verbatim here, just in case you choose to edit it again.

The only reason you got downvoted to hell in this thread is because you want to paint everyone who opposes corporate censorship as transgender murder supporters, in, what the article itself describes as a futile, neverending effort.

And now that you are time and time confronted with the fallacies you employ, you decide to edit all your comments “in protest”. Stopping only to call everyone who opposed you even in the slightest an accomplice to murder. Very mature.

Edit: Ah cute. They delivered another show of their good intent in my DM;

Fuck off and die you harassing, lying, piece of shit.

Everyone who disagrees with you must be pro-kiwi huh? I rest my case.

Where did you have in mind?

BOT! KILL IT!

That’s why they’re talking about the next generation.

With AI you can easily generate 100 different ways to say the same thing. And it’s hard to distinguish a bot that’s parroting someone else from a person who’s repeating something they heard.

That’s promising :/ I really like the shape of that mouse, and the custom weights. What did you end up buying instead?

I still have a ~10 year old Logitech G500 that has finally started to go bad. I’ve been looking around, and it seems that Logitech’s quality has been going down the drain - apparently sometimes clicks get registered as double clicks on recent models?

Can you (or anyone else who has one) comment on their experience with that?

How many password managers have you been trying out this week?

Correct me if I’m wrong, but Lemmys tokens have no expiration, right? So they are effectively username and password combined.

Which table/columns am I looking at here?

Thanks, I wasn’t aware of that tool. Thanks for all the stuff that you do!

In my experience people only follow people to new networks when enough other people have made the switch. Try convincing people to use signal or telegram instead of WhatsApp, for example.

To move off twitter, one person will make the journey, find out that most of the people they want to follow (or be followed by) aren’t on mastodon, and go back to twitter.

People don’t actively seek out content on Lemmy (yet). But if they do check it out, they will be more likely to stick around if they feel they don’t miss out on stuff they were used to on reddit.

For some things like text posts and questions, comments / discussion is great. For other, more content based posts like photos, game discounts or adult content, I don’t mind one bit not seeing other people’s comments.

Lemmit is meant to become obsolete in the long run, but it can help prime the network with content that makes it easier to switch over.

Actually I’d say it’s the other way around. It’s hard to switch a social network, since it only makes sense to switch if the people you want to follow are also on the new network (The Network Effect).

However, for sites like reddit, it matters less. I don’t care who posts the cute kittens in !aww@lemmy.world, as long as they’re there. Much lower barrier to join. Once a network is primed with good content, the people will come.

More inline with OP: it also helps that there was already a huge exodus from twitter to mastodon a few years back, so they’ve got a bit of a head start.

1. I started out with the og Lemmy.ml. 2.Then created my own instance/bot Lemmit.
2. Thought Lemmy.ml was to slow/unstable, so created an account on Lemmy.world
3. Gotta have a separate account for grown up stuff, so signed up on LemmyNSFW.com
4. Gee… Lemmy.world is kinda slow/unstable… Better sign up on lemm.ee…

I’ll probably retire the lemmy.ml and world accounts though.

How to you feel about “us youngsters” barging in here and bringing server performance to its knees? (sorry!)

Is that a roundabout way of saying you’re getting a divorce? Does she know?

Side note: even after deferating, these activities still show up in activity table. (I’m on version 0.17.4).

The thing is (correct me if I’m wrong), if other instances federate with you, they’ll be hosting a copy of the data you store. For images this is manageable (although animated images are basically video), but it will quickly run into the gigabytes range.
