It seems to be primarily for a Japanese audience.
Those two things don't seem conflicting. Some bad actor right now could upload illegal content to lemmy.world. It's not like lemmy.world can defederate with itself as a solution. It must deal with it by deleting the content. An instance could potentially delete illegal content coming from everywhere on the lemmyverse. This would take a lot of work so if you didn't want to bother doing that for instances other than your own you would defederate.
If some instance owner for whatever reason decided to take on this work either manually or with some automated process that allowed an instance to exist that is federated with everything, but clear of illegal content then it would be an appealing instance. Assuming I could curate my own instance block list.
Sure. This isn't a solution to the problem lemmy.world is having. I just think this feature should exist.
It won't protect a server from getting illegal content on their drives. Best to defederate if that is happening and can't be dealt with otherwise. If you have some other method of dealing with illegal content on your server and wanted to host a Lemmy instance that is federated with everything it would only be appealing to me if I could block instances myself.
I think that is a bit of a gamble. They might not want to hire you because it will be clear that you are looking to be promoted as soon as possible. Then they will have to go through the hiring process again to fill the position you just left.
If I were desperate for a job and needed this position I'd probably claim I was making around the top end of the positions salary range rather than much more. Then just deal with it until I can move up. In an ideal world I'd be applying for a job that is already at my current level with appropriate pay.
Are you overqualified for the position or are they just paying lower than market rate? Or perhaps were you previously making more than market rate? It's always a good idea to try and get as high of a salary as you can, but jobs are going to be listed for a specific range for a reason. For example if it is a junior developer position they won't want to hire a senior developer regardless of whatever reasons led to that person applying. The risk is high that this person won't stick around in the junior position because they are too experienced.
If we could control instance level blocking on a user level it would be much more feasible.
Personally I'd rather it wasn't a thing. Regardless of how insignificant and "just for fun" such things are we inevitably get into a situation where people are only doing things to be awarded. It corrupts the incentives of participating in discussion. The same problem would exist if we had karma on Lemmy.
I see. If someone is yelling obscenities at you then its probably ok to yell at them too although I wouldn't bother personally. I don't think this poll can mean anything though as I imagine everyone has different understandings of what a "speaker" is and is doing.
It seems taste buds vary a lot too. 😅
What does it mean to "Shout down a speaker"? What are they speaking about and what is the purpose of shouting at them?
Summary: Salvor begins to question the Mentalics' motives. Hober Mallow's proposal to the Spacers meets resistance. Brothers Constant and Poly stand trial.

Hello /c/sciencefiction, it is that time of the month. Time to vote for the book of the month. The options are loosely collected from the most voted and discussed books in the "What are you Reading" thread for August.
At the end of the month the poll will be closed and the winner will be the book of the month for August 2023. Myself and hopefully some others will read this book over the following month and then near the end of the month a discussion post will be made to talk about it. Feel free to participate or not at your leisure.
Once the book is chosen it will be set to "Reading" status on the community BookWyrm account here. https://bookwyrm.social/user/ScienceFiction Feel free to follow this account with your own BookWyrm account so other members can find you. This can help people find book recommendations of like minded science fiction readers.

Based on my calculations we should have at least 10,000 subscribers. It seems like the subscriber count only shows for whatever particular instance you are on, but adding together the subscriber count of the major instances exceeds 10,000.
There has been some great discussion so far with a lot of information on shows and books I've never heard of. I encourage everyone to make any science fiction related post they feel like. You don't need to wait for someone else to make posts. 😅
I have some plans to attempt a very casual type of book club here. Understandably trying to follow along with a book club can be daunting or simply difficult to fit into the schedule so there is absolutely no obligations here. A week before the end of the month I plan on collecting the most discussed science fiction books from the monthly "What are you Reading?" thread and create a poll to vote on. This will be the "Book of the Month" and you can either read it or not read it as you please. Then at the end of the following month there will be a community sticky post to discuss it.
I also plan to use the federated book database site BookWyrm to track the books of the month at the following address. You can follow along by joining BookWyrm and following this user. This way other /c/sciencefiction users can find you as well. Of course all this information will also be here on lemmy.world /c/sciencefiction.

Perhaps this will work out and perhaps not. It's still mostly an experiment at this stage. Any feedback is appreciated.
Carry on science fiction friends.
I set a ribbon on top of his back and he gave me this look.
I'm not a huge gamer anymore so I actually reduced my setup from 3 16:9 monitors to a single 21:9 monitor. I find myself more focused on the task I am doing when there isn't the distraction of so many open windows.
I recently got this new solid walnut tabletop which is much heavier than the old IKEA tabletop I had that could be pushed around.
Obligatory cat. 🐈
Hello everyone. I am working on reviving the /c/battlestations community which I believe has a potential to be popular. 📺 🖥️
Feel free to stop by and share your setup.
Matrix has some Lemmy integration already and perhaps more in the future.
