The Nato chief says President Erdogan will drop opposition to Sweden becoming the alliance's 32nd member.
Good news for NATO, bad news for Russia.
North Korea almost sounds like a window back to the past.
Yes! I had to use tape to black out the LEDs on devices in my bedroom because I could see all manner of blinking lights once I dimmed the room lights.
Hah, this is what I liked the most about reddit - learning random bits of knowledge about things I knew nothing about. I'm glad to see this happen here too!
The taliban and Musk share the same values, then - to both of them, free speech means "you can say anything, as long as its what I like".
There are a lot of vocal anti-threads people but theres also a lot of people(like me) who don't care as much, I just seldom post about it.
Lol good on you for asking for it to be documented. Dumbass manager
Aggregated data is always scary.
You can still delete manually. I sorted my comments by top and edited them to gibberish.
Is that right? I was under the impression majority opened back up.
Tbh I don't really care either way, I haven't been on reddit for 3 weeks now.
Nobody's ever gonna have an accurate answer.
I agree, reddit got too big to be fun. That said lemmy still needs to get bigger in order for communities to actually thrive.
They got 70m users in a few days. Mastodon has a few million after a year. I don't think Meta cares about us at all!
You wouldn't trade 1 year of your life for nearly 4 million dollars?
I'm not refusing to "get" anything, this is just a well-worn argument that's been tested. Yes, there will be people who scroll past but the net outcome is still more clicks into the website. Literally the same thing has happened in other countries. Spain tried to do the same thing and lobbied the government to enact a very similar law, Google news pulled out, and then the news organizations started seeing drops in their revenues and they had to persuade the government to reverse decisions. What do you think is going to happen here? In the end everything will go back to the way it was, except some lobbyists and lawyers will be richer and Canadians/Australians will be inconvenienced by having one less news aggregator to use for a period of time.
I personally just sorted my comments by top scoring and manually changed some of my top comments to random gibberish! That doesn't get restored!
Haha what country/state is this in, if you don't mind?
The fediverse doesn't need to scale to make money, but it needs to scale to a point where there are thriving communities. One thing I loved about reddit was stumbling upon a new sun full of people talking about the most obscure shit. Lemmy still has some ways to go to get there!
Everything is a subscription model now. You wanna hear a song on Spotify, same deal
I'm not crazy! I know spez lied about the call! I knew Christian never threatened him. One dev to another. As if I could ever make such a mistake. Never. Never! I just – I just couldn't prove it. He – he covered his tracks, he got his PR people to lie for him. You think this is something? You think this is bad? This? This chicanery? He's done worse. /r/jailbait! Are you telling me that mod magically got a badge out of nowhere? No! He orchestrated it! Spez! He created the shitty new UI! And I believed him! And I shouldn't have. I took him at his word! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was 26, always the same! Couldn't keep his hands off the site! But not our spez! Couldn't be precious spez! Gaslighting us all! And he gets to be rich!? What a sick joke! I should've stopped him when I had the chance! And you – you have to stop him! You-

I have a story that kinda fits! Never shared this before, but I'm sure many people have experienced something similar.
Anyway, this was long ago in kindergarten. We had one teacher who, for some strange reason, hated it when kids went to the toilet. She'd track who went to the toilet and ask us kindergardeners things like "didn't you just go when I came in" or "why do you always need to go when I'm teaching".
Oh and this is necessary context for later - our classrooms had louvered, transparent windows along the corridor, and the windows were usually kept open, so you could look in easily from the corridor.
Some of us figured out that it was easier to hold your crotch and make a pained expression every time we needed to go. We'd just say "I really need to go" and hop around and she'd relent. But after a few too many people did that she got angry and declared that nobody could go to the bathroom twice in her class and started writing down the names of kids who went to the bathroom. If your name was on the board you couldn't leave the classroom again.
So one day, one of my brilliant classmates asked to go to the toilet, then brought his workbook and pencil out with him. When he came back, he stood outside the classroom listening to the teacher.
Our teacher asked him to come in. He said "but if I come in, I can't go to the toilet later."
Of course the teacher made him come in and changed the rules after that. But I'd like to think this kid became a lawyer.
