Everything written about this conflict (by anyone) is propaganda. The enemy is a powerful and maximally oppressive force we all need to fear, but is also so weak it’s losing equipment fast and its final defeat is only a matter of time.

A gnome obviously

Do we have “circlejerk” or “shitposting” communities here on Lemmy already?

Without having listened to the other song (I know “Levitating” obviously)… this is definitely a good thing. There is only a limited amount of melodies that are possible to make and if “derivative work” is interpreted very broadly, at some point there won’t be any way to make new songs.

Du meinst, dass man sich mit einem Login für beides einloggen kann? Soweit ich weiß, nicht möglich.

Was meinst du mit “verknüpfen”? Du kannst in dein Profil die Namen deiner anderen Konten irgendwo anders im Internet reinschreiben, was genau ist dein erwünschtes Ergebnis?

However, that comes with some extra requirements, such as having 85% of the partners be from Spain, a limitation that Igalia did not want.

How does that comply with EU law? Is not most discrimination between citizens of different EU member states prohibited by it?

I see, thanks. Will look into that.

I’ve had this thought before, but have also wondered whether it’s even possible to implement this using ActivityPub, considering that a wiki inherently requires having the same state everywhere, but ActivityPub allows instances to ban and defederate how they like (thus become desynchronized from each other).

When I was new to Mastodon, I followed everyone who might maybe have something interesting to say (e.g. open source projects that I’ve never used but found somewhat interesting).

Right now I have 43 tabs open on my phone most of which are links from Mastodon I haven’t yet gotten around to reading… I think you can see why nowadays I tend to unfollow more things than I newly follow.

she (the minister for children) was 22, the other person was 15, i.e. a teenager

You want to join an mbin or piefed instance, they allow both microblogging and posting to lemmy communities.

you probably google for yahoo on bing amirite

I remember reading (though I can’t find the source anymore) that Mastodon “favorites” and Lemmy upvotes are the same thing, but that it is not possible to downvote from Mastodon.

Not a new phenomenon in human nature or on the Internet, by itself. On some wikis (e.g. en.wikipedia.org) there used to be extensive lists of “notorious vandals”, then people realized that this only encouraged them further, now this is more limited, but there still is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Long-term_abuse

ffs stop feeding trolls and spammers

That is basically OpenID which has been around for a long time. In principle there is nothing stopping fediverse instances from being OpenID providers or allowing login with an OpenID, not sure anyone has done this yet though.

Not so in Austria. Only Haftpflichtversicherung is required which only covers the car owner’s liability.

some of them maybe? surely not all?

These settings don’t do what you want?

First of all, can people stop empowering, rewarding and encouraging spammers by starting threads about them?

My understanding is that many people in the US and Canada identify with their ancestry? Lots of Americans think of themselves as “Irish” for example, some of them may actually be immigrants from Ireland, others may have more-or-less distant Irish ancestry, so this is what may be going on here.
