asking if they subscribe to other myth based beliefs, religions, etc
What you actually said:
Out of interest are you religious or subject to some other form of mythical belief system? I ask because clearly you lack motivation for the truth, preferring hearsay and urban legend that I must assume supports a wider world view. by @Hackerman_uwu
My thought: this kind of behaviour is one of things that made Reddit fucking awful and I’d hate to see it flourish here in the fediverse.
So, it’s basically 4chans all the way down.
Nominally, you’d need to go through some request process to request federation with other large instances. Then they’d vet your configuration before adding you.

Something something Stallman was right (about this specific thing, anyway).
beehaw.org – a lemmy instance specifically geared toward quality discussion and keeping everybody nice to each other – has basically been told by Lemmy devs that the moderation tools they want and need just aren’t in the roadmap, and they’ll need to fork and develop their own version.
That’s an incredibly disheartening attitude.
I think the big challenge right now is sustaining growth. I don’t think many reddit refugees are paying for their fediverse services.
I support dessalines on Patreon, but I don’t really know what else I should be doing. I think that folks who want to run these services need to figure out how to charge money for it, or they won’t be able to buy infrastructure or network bandwidth.

The article’s summary paragraph at the top attributes a statement to DeSantis that he didn’t make.
Gov. Ron DeSantis says people aren’t living as long as they used to, so that should help protect them from losing Social Security and Medicare protections when they get old.
That paraphrasing is deceptive, IMO. In the text of his remarks, it’s clear that he’s drawing an actuarial conclusion that lower lifespans eliminate the need to raise Social Security and Medicare benefit ages. What he actually said:
So, I think it’s hard to say, you know, raise the age (for Social Security eligibility) when the average life expectancy is going down. We used to think that life expectancy was just going to keep going up and that’s just not been the case.
DeSantis says plenty of crazy shit, we don’t need to invent stupid things and pretend that he said them.
He’s rich. First rule of being rich is never pay when you can borrow.
Oh goody. There’s a [email protected] and it’s not me. And it’s using one of my older profile pictures.
EDIT: 2023/8/29 update – I posted to the lemm.ee support community and the admins decided to disable the account. Well done!
I like pixelfed.social, but I’m an admittedly “lite” user of Instagram, don’t really post my own stuff, just use it to find interesting photos. It’s been good for that.
