What they really mean is: Polite to them, the people with the means of easily inflicting deadly violence upon others.

Gun ownership is just another expression of the deep selfishness ingrained in American culture.

The cruelty is the point.

Most of the Koopa kids were named after musicians

• Wendy O. Williams from the Plasmatics
• Iggy Pop from Iggy Pop & The Stooges
• Roy Orbison, the songwriter and rock & roll legend
• Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead
• Ludwig van Beethoven, obviously

Quite a nice thing about Lemmy is modlogs are public: https://lemmy.ml/modlog?userId=738214

In a way, Crysis. There's a reason the "But does it run Crysis?" meme exists. Because most computers could barely run it on release. It was way ahead of its time technologically.

We continue to inch closer to full-blown corporatocracy. We've all watched and read enough cyberpunk to see where that leads.

We’re just like the big commercial social media sites then. Sweet success!

Great news. I think we're still not quite there yet with cultivated meat, but it has great promise. Cultivated meat has the potential to be cheaper, far more environmentally friendly, obviously more ethical, and maybe even healthier. I hope it reaches full scale production with all these benefits in my lifetime.

100% agreed with both. Especially DIDs just need to happen on all ActivityPub platforms. It will not only free users from being locked to an instance, but it will also allow instances to be much more flexible in scaling their capacity. Lemmy.ml is overloaded because they have too many users, and anyone who signed up there can no longer use their account. DID would allow them to immediately use their account from any small or large instance with spare capacity without changing the experience. The same would go for Mastodon.

You're right of course, but there's tons of individual features which can be worked on in relative isolation. The devs need help with moderation tools, performance, frontend, etc. With 200+ open issues I'm sure more developers making proactive pull requests can make a difference.

Beehaw only defederated from Lemmy.world because of the currently limited moderation tools in the software. This is not going to be a problem forever.

I hope people can find communities both on large instances (Beehaw, Lemmy.world) as well on as very small niche instances. Discoverability is a bit a problem but I think over time we will find communities we like, and participate in them. What instance they are hosted on is not all that important.

No, they understand and they care... They want the poor to be trapped by debt and struggling starting at a young age.
