Welcome! Thanks for the suggestion, I’m happy with having multiple sites and not one team having absolute say on content over the rest.

Welcome! Thanks for the suggestion, I’m happy with having multiple sites and not one team having absolute say on content over the rest.
On lemmy.ca we have semi-active Hockey pages, especially due to the playoffs, check out !hockey@lemmy.ca, and some of the team pages get occasional posts. The advantage of being a lemmy.ca user is that you will encounter small sports team and small Canadian city page posts more often in local feed.
I think before a Buffalo Bills page takes off we need a relatively active American football page. But sports commentary is not very intriguing to me and feels very formulaic: “Go [team name] Go”, “Coach [name] sucks”, “Next season we’ve drafted [name] to our team”, etc. etc.
Points for the creative title…
However this unidentified new account acting as a rumour mill is suspicious. I don’t doubt feddit is removing posts liberally that could get investigated under German law whether those posts may or may not be breaking it, if the first half of the post was the drama I’d be okay with it. However, trying to tie a bunch of other speculation to the drama makes this post weird imo.
Solution: put a facebook, amazon, google logo on it so courts block their dns?
If the company could stop making new Coke flavours then killing off popular ones more often than Netflix series or Google chat apps, it would be appreciated.

I find that trashing on all of Lemmy development and lemmy.ml from nutomic’s one questionable stance to be a little idiotic, but that’s just my opinion. Those things are the work of more than just one person. Dessalines is a heavy lifter in moderation and development, and they’re pretty decent. Various contributors have provided code/features, translations, apps and interfaces to Lemmy. Moderators of all server types have their own opinions on stuff.
But to an extent we all have to put that aside, because face it, perfectly sanitized opinions have nothing to do with code quality. We all have a couple shitty opinions, but what makes someone a decent human being and not a bigot is recognizing where their actions and opinions cause harm unto others and try to minimize that. This harm reduction can include changing actions and opinions, but it can also be keeping harmful actions and opinions away from people it would harm. This is where Ada probably sees banning nutomic from the instance as sufficient rather than all of .ml
Yeah, the whole China/Russia can do no wrong sort of thing is a pervasive problem on Lemmy.ml, but likewise they keep moderation of that to within the confines of their instance. The running costs of a server are virtually nothing compared to cost of working full-time to maintain software, so most donations don’t really go to hosting the .ml server itself but rather to development. I don’t personally agree with the .ml admins on many things, but I’ll defend them for allowing others to run online communities how they want in return for letting every one of us do the same. I’ve likewise defended Ada’s decisions on how they want to root out transphobia from their server, that’s their choice, and so far it seems to have served Blahaj users well.
This was a wild Canadian election. If the Liberals get to 171, then Elizabeth May, of all people, could hold the balance of power if voting along party lines.
Can we get the courts to determine that as an “unreasonable search” already?
When I was a middle schooler I definitely wanted to see what would happen from messing around with things like that would be like…
But I also wasn’t inundated by short form videos trying it out and encouraging me to do it myself also as part of a trend…
Step 1: Talk with Canada’s Prime Minister.
Step 2: ?
Step 3: Reach a deal with the UK?
Newton’s 47th Law: Every economic Trump-outburst has an equal and opposite Lutnick-outburst.
Chipping in a bit (30CAD quarterly). I really owe it to your and dessalines’ work, having been here for over 2 years now.
Psst if you want newbie oriented advice ask on !newtolemmy@lemmy.ca
One piece of advice as a freebie: Don’t judge yourself too hard if an honest and genuine comment you make now-and-then gets downvoted. Often times the best thing to do is just to move on. You can try to reach a mutual understanding through conversation, but recognize the signs when a back-and-forth isn’t leading anywhere productive and simply back off.
Three, two, one, zero, minus one.
While the underlying issue swirling around the UK courts’ confusion of gender vs. sex, male vs. female is just as confusing to me and I have no clear answers for that, the Blahaj admin’s move is I think the right one.
That instance prides itself as being a safe-space for LGBTQ+ folks, so explicitly allowing behaviour that does not recognize its users’ identities, is reasonable grounds for defederation.
I had very recently come across a reactionary content left-wing YouTube channel, reacting to Rachel Maddow of MSNBC reacting to Elon Musk’s interview… I thought that was pretty bizarre. (link).
It was a 30 second intro segment, then a 8 minute clip of the Maddow show, followed by a 1 minute outro commentary segment.
Musk, Trump and the rest of the Republican leaders have been trying their very best to sink the ship of America.
But this gets more clicks!
