Oh this is great. I can’t wait to see how it turns out. I truly hope there are some confused idiots when it switches over, although they’ll probably believe everything and not recognize that it’s satire.

they believe he may now be in Eastern Europe.

Has anyone checked if he’s on lemmy.ml?

I just checked and we have that turned on, too.

We don’t get a lot of applications. A couple per week, maybe.

It’s called Lemmy-Safety of Fedi-Safety depending on where you look.

One thing to note, I wasn’t able to get it running on a VPS because it requires some sort of GPU.

Yeah, it’s just something like “Tell us why you want to join this instance”. If the answer is “to promote my content” or “qq”, for example, they don’t get approved.

It’s done by the Lemmy software.

We require applications, and most applications we get are extremely low effort and we don’t approve them. If you have open registrations you’ll be doing a lot of moderation for spam.

Run the software that scans images for CSAM. It’s not perfect but it’s something. If your instance freely hosts whatever without any oversight, word will spread and all of a sudden you’re hosting all sorts of bad stuff. It’s not technically illegal if you don’t know about it, but I personally don’t want anything to do with that.

Looking forward to trying the latest update.

Lets hope so.

DST is what most people prefer. It’s the switch back to standard time that’s dumb.

The politics are left of center on social issues, but I wouldn’t say it’s as bad as Reddit. I see a lot of anti-trump stuff, but that has nothing to do with his politics.

Blocking desalines using the software he helped write is very satisfying, in a sad sort of way.

Keep trying on other instances unless your views align with .ml. Otherwise you’ll be automatically deemed a tankie by a lot of people and that might alter your experience on the fediverse.

Welcome to Lemmy!

They can check existing code. You have to be able to trust people who are contributing.

They can check new code by these risky people as it comes in, but it why risk it?

Lemmy isn’t immune to bans for people speaking their mind or promoting violence. It happens all the time.

And as a bonus, presumably you have a nice file filled with historic dates and times!

I have a credit card that gives 6% cash back on grocery stores. Gift Cards are supposed to be excluded from that, but it still works at some stores. I used to buy Amazon gift cards, effectively making Amazon 6% cheaper.

There’s some psychological stuff to consider, though. Did I spend more on Amazon because there was a gift card balance? I like to tell myself no, but I probably did.

I notice the same thing. I think it’s because they are busy moving it from a distant warehouse to one closer to you, because you can’t possibly keep all of the same crap in all of the warehouses. So it’s being transported, but not “shipped”, allowing them to take longer.

This is the main reason I cancelled Prime. They started advertising “More than just free shipping”, and I realized that I only used it for free shipping, and as Prime got more and more expensive I wasn’t getting any value from it.

Now I just put stuff in my cart until I have $35 worth of stuff, and get free shipping anyway. It’s not that much slower. An extra day or two usually, and it doesn’t bother me one bit. I can wait a little while for my $10 guitar strap and it’s not the end of the world.
