  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.

  An online cafe dedicated to harvesting baby seal fur SEEMED like a good idea...

  California, actually. Although that's probably worse.

  I would proudly stink of back-bacon and maple syrup, if given the opportunity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy.world removes its rules against discrimination⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What would "discrimination" look like in a reddit-link link sharing service?

  I'm not even sure what word would imply in a discussion forum. It usually applies to things like wages, job opportnities, access, etc.

  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.

  Oh goody. There's a RickRussell_CA@lemm.ee and it's not me. And it's using one of my older profile pictures.
