It sounds like providers are trying to hide monthly fees in an attempt to obscure them. My ISP will let me ‘rent’ a modem for $10 a month, but I just decided to buy my own for $60 fifteen years ago. My brain says that’s $1800 (it could be wrong, it’s late). If I didn’t know I was paying a $10 monthly fee, I’d never have bought my own.

And if a fee is actually a tax, just put that on the bill. It’s pretty simple.

All his support is from the conspiracy wing of the other side.

Just put ketchup on an apple.

We should set up a GoFundMe and buy our own Supreme Court Justice. Does anyone have a coupon?

qBittorrent, activate the search plugins, look for “2160p XXX”

Spider-cat, Spider-cat

Doing things where the spider’s at

Spins a web, lands on feet

Catches thieves, he’s really neat

Look out, here comes the Spider-cat

While this is a good first step, let me know when we start applying this standard to US companies.

Arthur C. Clarke wrote a sequel to the sequel to the sequel of 2001 (called 3001) where Frank Poole is rescued a thousand years after been lost in orbit around Jupiter/Saturn. By then global warming isn’t caused by carbon dioxide or methane or even water vapor. It’s from 1,000+ years of waste heat generated by each human that’s ever lived. Even with 100% clean energy, everything still creates heat, and it has to go somewhere.

I will reserve my judgement until someone else repeats this. Too many times these types of papers end up being retracted due to mistakes or proven false later. FTL neutrinos come to mind.

It’s a good thing the disc is ringed with water, then walled with ice. And surrounded by a carbon-crystalline structure similar but stronger than diamond. And guarded by spiders.

Now imagine that chaos, but everyone is running their own server. There are already posts and replies that won’t accept my votes.

Who’s a bad actor? Liberals? Conservatives? Who gets to decide who the bad actor is?

Lemmy needs to allow Server-managers to defederate other servers due to obviously illegal material. And Lemmy needs to allow Users to block or ignore servers just due to any number of reasons. But the decision should be left to the user.

I’m 100% anti-censorship, and if a Server is going to be run that way there needs to be a way for existing users and new users to know that. And that’s the problem because a lot of new users are already stressed at picking a server.

Still not the point.

Everyone missing the point because the example is “Nazis”. It doesn’t matter what it is, I don’t want someone else deciding what I can see. Unless it causes legal problems for the server, don’t censor me.

Individual servers isn’t the quick answer everyone seems to think it is.

Everyone here says to run your own server, as if that’s the mindset that’s going to bring in users and increase the popularity of federation. A little short-sighted.

Yes, exactly like Reddit does. How does a federated system manage when everyone is required to run their own server to avoid censorship?

Nazis aren’t the point. Censorship is. Hard to see how a community that requires an individual federated server for everyone to avoid censorship is going to eventually come close to the popularity of Reddit.
