I miss Tumblr. Yes, Tumblr still exists, but the Tumblr I miss does not. This stuff makes me wonder if we’ll see an ActivityPub Tumblr-clone at some point, like Lemmy/Kbin to Reddit, Mastodon to Twitter and PeerTube to YouTube.

Begun, the git clone wars have.
I think “pile of goo that becomes a bigger pile of goo” does seem a lot more plausible than a literal ice cream cone. I’d take more issue with the self-destructing pokeball pokemon, Voltorb. What kind of evolutionary mechanism brought that on?
There’s plenty of games you can just buy and not pay a subscription to. Hell, any game with a subscription is usually impossible to pirate, due to being server based.
Movies and TV shows almost invariably do require a subscription these days, though, unless you take to the seven seas.
Ads can deliver viruses, many ads are animated or have sound, or both. If every ad were static and safe, I wouldn’t mind so much… but alas, that’s not a thing. So AdBlock it is!
And sometimes, justice requires breaking the law. Remember that the Holocaust was legal and Stonewall was not.
I agree. A thing can be sensitive content for more than one reason at the same time.
I agree that the de-federation and attitude is worrysome, but I disagree on your stance towards more tags. Servers that disallow NSFW now, might choose to allow NSFW but not porn. Servers that allow NSFW now, are likely to keep allowing both. Servers just don’t want to deal with liability and weird protocol quirks showing people stuff they don’t want, so they’ll ban any category that’s likely to include stuff they don’t want. More fine-grained tagging means they can ban a smaller selection of things.
I’m all for various kinds of tags to indicate why someone might not want to view certain content.
Interesting style! Reminded me of Jollyjack at first. I feel like you two have a similar use of colour and exaggerated shapes. The meme is funny too, of course.
The Onion, I think?
Yeah, this makes sense. The health of the instance we’re on is our concern too. Since a Fediverse instance is not a faceless entity and doesn’t pull the same capitalist shenanigans on its users, the users will probably be more willing to support it with donations if they see something like this. Many other donation-funded sites have something similar.
Initially, it’s probably fine to have it included in the server rules blurb on the side, but it should probably just be part of the API for mobile clients, and possibly communicated to other servers too? So if some valuable content is on an instance that’s not doing well, you can deal with that. If it regularly gets valuable content but can’t sustain itself, people might donate even if it’s not their home instance. Otherwise, it can be copied somewhere safe, if it’s basically abandoned.
That long borzoi snout has been a meme for quite a while now, often accompanied by a “let me do it for you… kermie”, a snippet from a Muppets show where Miss Piggy sings to Kermit, at a high pitch.
My last two phones both got slow as their batteries got bad, and were basically like new after replacing them. My current phone doesn’t allow swapping the batteries.
For someone thrifty, being able to replace the battery can extend a phone’s life 2x or more. Even if you don’t want to keep using it, you could still resell it or give it to someone who doesn’t need the newest phones. Non-swappable batteries are a form of planned obsolescence, in addition to just being more compact and probably a little cheaper.
Here in the Netherlands, we only tip for fancy restaurants, if the service was good.
Man, as an outsider, I thought all newsgroups began with alt.*
I think that would self-correct when such a thing would be implemented. They’d just get more specific names, like solarpunktech or such. It would be an issue for existing communities like that though.
Yeah, it’s sad. I guess it makes sense; just now I saw two posts from “lewd loli” from another instance in my “all” feed, and I imagine that’d be awkward if it happened to lemmy.ml. It does mean I’ll need a separate NSFW and SFW account, of which one will probably just be ignored completely. Or I could spin up my own instance, so small nobody will bother to block it.
That’s a fun way to call all the moderators tools :D
One of those is mine, after finding out that LemmyNSFW can’t reach lemmy.ml, but FMHY can reach both. Probably not the only one.
They’re necessary, but any power will always bring a chance that someone will abuse it. So I usually prefer moderators with a lighter touch, that talk to their users before taking more controversial actions.
