I don’t have any experience with Google Fiber, but I was bummed when Google Domains got sold off, I forgot to whom. Google Domains was so simple. No nonsense.

I try to point it out to everyone I see who is marked as a bot who seems human because you can also enable an option to filter all self marked bots out.

I may not have been clear, I just meant that “Discord servers” are not “servers” in the way the word is actually used (meaning a computer) and that Matrix instances actually are real “servers”. But yeah, spaces are like Discord servers.
- Comment on Discord delays global age verification rollout after backlash - Dexerto 2 weeks ago:
This is bullshit. I’m sorry. I’ve tried signing up on like three servers with Element Classic and Element X and all of them fail. Maybe I’ve just gotten incredibly unlucky with the instances I’ve picked, but it’s been a much tougher time than joining Lemmy was.
I have an old matrix.org account I can use, but it’s asking me to get something from a currently logged in session, which I don’t have any. I saved all the files and phrases it asked me to when I joined originally, but it isn’t enough. It’s a possibility I missed one, but the fact that I do have a file and phrase saved in my password manager is evidence I was saving what it and me to.
If worst comes to worst I can just use matrix.org, but I know that Matrix’s “federated but de facto centralized” problem is much worse than Lemmy’s (lemmy.world is big but not a majority, but I think a majority of people use matrix.org) and I’m trying to help fix that.
It’s just frustrating. I want Matrix to be the Discord replacement but it’s a pain in the ass currently. And Discord is so many things to do many people. It’s voice for some, streaming for some, and for a lot it’s the fact that it’s DMs, chats, servers, voice, and streaming all in one and with a very large user base. Matrix, to my knowledge, is only chats, servers (or more properly rooms in Matrix, since they have real servers), and DMs. Back when I used it more frequently it wasn’t super active. Especially for really niche activities. And don’t even get me started on the state of NSFW matrix, I went down that rabbit hole and one of the top results was MAP stuff (pedophiles). There’s also just a huge amount of furry stuff, which isn’t inherently a problem, but when it seems like there’s dozens of NSFW furry rooms and a top result on search is talking about which servers and rooms are sympathetic to pedophiles and the folks most likely to be leaving Discord are the ones who were doing NSFW things because that’s what’s actually age restricted I can’t really evangelize Matrix as a good replacement.
This sort of turned into more of a rant than I intended. It’s just frustrating.

The members of db0 who don’t want to see and hear Zionists indeed do have the power to change their instance and did, so I don’t get what you mean by saying they don’t have the power to change the world so it’s petty.

Further evidenced by the fact they’re posting from their non-db0 account after saying they voted on the topic with their db0 account.

Whether or not you agree with db0’s decision, framing it as a mere “petty war” is disingenuous.

I can’t find any mention of the specific species of peafowl the man had. My personal guess is that it’s just a stock image of a peacock. None of the articles below mention the species, but one does have the same mugshot.
apnews.com/…/peacocks-killed-florida-man-arrested…
nypost.com/…/florida-man-arrested-for-allegedly-k…
cbsnews.com/…/florida-man-eats-pet-peacocks-dispu…
Quoting the AP article,
The 61-year-old man from Hudson, Florida, was arrested last week on a third-degree felony charge of aggravated animal cruelty, according to an affidavit from the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
The man told investigators that he had killed the two peacocks because his neighbor kept feeding them. He had written the neighbor a letter telling her that he would continue to kill his pet peacocks if she kept feeding them “to prove a point,” according to the affidavit, which didn’t say how many peacocks he kept.
The man “admitted to killing the bird by cutting the bird’s neck out of spite, then bleeding it out, and then later eating the bird after cooking it on a frying pan,” the affidavit said.
So it doesn’t seem so simple as him merely getting arrested for deciding to eat one of his peafowl.
Killing an endangered animal and cruelty to animals are separate statutes. So I think it’s safe to safe it’s not an endangered peafowl.

- www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=D… “level four violations” are also third degree felonies.
I don’t care enough to pull the man’s actual court records and see if he was also charged with Intentional killing or wounding of any species designated as endangered, threatened, or of special concern.
