Tangential but I’m curious, when was it that you noticed every search engine was broken by SEO? I started to see signs 6 years ago, but they became undeniably unusable about 3 years ago for me.

You strike me as well informed about alternative treatments for gender dysphoria. Which ones do you recommend?

Edit: as always, ignoring the issue except to politicize it.

Spez succeeded, regardless. His end goal was the IPO, consequences he damned. Rectal fissures were entirely acceptable. Now whether Spez is happy with his booty blasting, that’s another question entirely.

It was so briefly mentioned that I skimmed past it on first reading. Surely that detail is worth more than two sentences. What a baffling decision, to stiff the company that has the single greatest chokehold on the internet.

Usually when I get a warning of that sort, I manually retype the url for safety’s sake, or double-check the site on Wikipedia or Whois it. There may be some characters that look identical to others. Article on it.

Could this, in part, be retaliation for twitter’s refusal to extend their contract with Google?

I’m not sure whether the issues plaguing Reddit really apply to lemmy, even with a single instance being disproportionately larger than the others, which makes “Reddit 2.0” a bit less derogatory to me. Reddit’s moderator tools were severely lacking for the required output (federation helps diffuse communities, and lemmy doesn’t encourage bots to swarm in order to increase apparent user numbers for investor satisfaction), every big anti-hate decision required a media spectacle to precede it (admins here aren’t free speech absolutists with authoritarian hard-ons), and staff retention at Reddit is an odd loop of promotion into managerial obsolescence which severely increases overhead (irrelevant to lemmy). Reddit 2.0 wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to me.

“ The_Donald was one of the biggest conservative communities on the internet. It represented actual politicians and the people who voted for them, it allowed debate”

Why even try to lie so blatantly about banned dissent circlejerk: the subreddit. For fun, or what?

My comment was caught in the outage, so forgive me for paraphrasing. 4chan used to be just as progressive as we are here, before they poe's law'd themselves into a nazi haven. Upside, their fall created a broad online understanding of radicalization methods, which I've found several people consistently using here, like disillusionment and appeals to open information sharing. No, telling nazis to leave isn't censorship, rando 1 through 8. Anyway, that's all to say that they're probing for opportunities to do the same thing here, and, like you, I can only wonder if it's actual bigots or state actors.

Apparently I won’t receive any answer, which further highlights the issue. “Someone curious about beneficial conservative legislation? Gotta be a trap, go around.” The hoop is entirely open and a yet they refuse to dunk, because they lack the ability.

This may create a sort of pseudoreligious legal arms race. One group will arbitrarily take away rights based on “their religion,” as has happened today, and another will attempt to recreate those rights under their own “religious” banner, as the church of satan has attempted. “Religion” will end up a focal point, regardless of the outcome, and fundamentalists win.

As these comments are mostly outrage over the headline, I’d like to hear which republican policies people here are particularly happy about.
