Beehaw is looking to shut down and or completely defederate.

They already de-federated 447 instances, I doubt that will make much difference.

As someone who mostly likes those things, that does seem to be a big problem here.

Make each user function as an instance, to solve the mess of netsplits/defederation.

A google VPN sounds as sus as huggies condoms.

It’s almost like firefox get almost all their funding from google.

I can’t help, but I love that recycling thin clients is become more popular.

I guess being old fashioned and sticking with my model M has it’s advantages.

lemmy.basedcount.com and lemmy.dbzer0.com are both interesting.

It’s like people are taking the ideologies of the instance owners and labeling anyone in it to have the same ideologies. Where did this come from?

I generally agree, but hexbear exists mostly as a place where r/chapoTrapHouse users went after it got banned from reddit, so it tends to have a specific type of user. (not that I agree with de-federating them, despite not being exactly aligned with them politically)

Scout’s honour

Whatever’s cheapest lol

Set your default view to subscribed in user options to show only the sublemmys you are subscribed to.

You can change it in user settings.

I guess I can understand how some may be concerned about the latter happening, but given mastodon is open source a hidden algorithm isn’t really possible (barring some esoteric technique like code obfuscation)

No idea why you’re getting downvoted when lemmy uses an algorithm by default.

If you go to a bank and attempt to steal money, but you were unsuccessful in doing so, there wouldn’t be any loss, but you’d still go to jail and it’s widely accepted as wrong.

Theft is taking property with the intention to permanently deprive the owner of it, which you were attempting to do

getting a service, e.g going to the barbers and running out of the store before paying

Technically fraud not theft.

All the CIA/NSA ones will be mysteriously not picked up.

Brave search seems marginally better than others.

Aren’t those ads personalised to your browsing history?

You think the other arm of the US capitalist party doesn’t do exactly the same?
