I was interested at first but then slowly came in the freedom of speech stuff.
Sounds like another truth social, rumble bullshit thing. “Don’t worry if your favorite Nazi gets deplatformed we got their back! Now you’ll see they moved to Rumble.” Depending on their discovery it’ll be a cesspit in no time.
Have you watched the show or just seen clips? He really doesn’t go off on them that much. And when he does usually it’s very deserved. Like he does not stand for deplorable conditions and mistreatment of staff. Like if he finds out an owner isn’t taking good care of their staff he makes sure they know its not okay.
But genuinely 3/4ths of an episode is him trying to help them improve with genuine empathy and understanding. He comes in, points out whats wrong with some gusto for the clips and then is like “hey so what’s going on? I’m sure you weren’t always this disconnected from what’s going on” and works with them to solve their issues which is usually more attitude and just like some guidance. Usually to they do a top to bottom cleaning and organizing of the restaurant for them.
Obviously you’ll hear more about the very rare episodes where they have the most famous chef in the world giving them advice and they just won’t hear it. Like people quote Amys Bakery because the owners flipped out at him pointing out raw pastries kept leaving the kitchen and then getting all shitty when he’s like don’t steal waiters tips.
It’s like the newest episode is him helping a family business out where the brothers weren’t even talking and the parents had to help instead of retire. He got the brothers to work together, remodeled the entire kitchen for them, held a make wish charity event at their grand opening on his dime, and did a bunch of training. It even had a 2 month check in where it was doing much better. But I’m sure you’ll only see a tiktok clip from when he found a box of raw chicken that made the whole crew throw up and he’s like “what the fuck?!” Which yeah, what the fuck? And this was a restaurant that had been health inspected recently. If anything it makes you loose faith in health inspectors. Idk wtf they are doing
I’m pro net neutrality and all for getting it on the books.
But has any company broken net neutrality since it was repealed? I haven’t seen some of the stuff we expected. Maybe they wanted to lay low on it but like Comcast hasn’t restricted Netflix and pushed out 10x for Peacock stream or anything. I’m sure some stuff would go down eventually. But curious if this has happened
if you, say, pulled a couple hundred grand out of your pocket to buy a house that the sellers would trust that it’s real and above board even if it were?
Well it says exact “change” so I think yes if you dumped a few hundred thousand $1 coins out of your pocket when it’s time to pay they’ll think it’s sus lol
I suppose though if they refuse it you’ve already generated it and can scoop it up into a wheel barrow and see if a bank will take it. They may not care about the coins too much but they’ll definitely be reporting a guy bringing in a few hundred thousand dollars in coins every now and again to the IRS.
If you age while you sleep though you loose like a third of your life. Like if it pauses you as well how would you ever wake up? You’d like grow a year older every 8 months.
Most people have no reason to care if a small instance decided to sail away.
They weren’t a small instance though. They had pretty much established all of the default subs and then when they had like the top 10 largest communities on all of Lemmy they decided to start threatening defederating servers, closed their registration, and taking the largest communities away from them. Pretty much right as Lemmy was starting to build up some momentum essentially the largest instance was like “time to establish dominance and flex our power”
They’ve apparently defederated from 400 servers and still have 4 of the top 10 largest communities. Like yeah defederation is a tool of Lemmy but their using it like a threat and now they are demanding other instances follow their lead if they want re-federated. Then they try to boohoo about how running the largest subs with 4 mods is infeasible with the current tools and that’s everyone else’s fault.
Like Lemmy is barely off the ground and there’s already power mods and they are already trying to control the whole thing.
Someone should write up the feature as described and explain why this particular implementation solves issues people are having as a pull request on the repo. This would be much easier to implement than a custom tagging feature like others are asking for. Like yeah a custom tagging feature would be cool but that’s a ton of work and wouldn’t show up for quite a while.
This made me curious if there’s a Seinfeld community. https://lemmy.world/c/seinfeld Yay!
Thanks to Marius, looks like when you interact with a server you get assigned a local id that’s tied to your username/email combo. So no global ID but all your actions on a server are tied to you. It wouldn’t take a lot to link that to your account on your home server.
Overall idk if it’s a big deal. Upvotes and such need to have a user ID tied to them in order to keep things straight. Unless someone wants to update the Lemmy software to start encrypting the GUID on the table an instance owner will always be able to see what you’ve voted on ON THEIR instance. Reddit totally can as well, but they had a reason not to put their users on blast (At least until lately lol).
It’d take some collusion to put that all together across the fediverse.
That’s only on KBin though and it’s a feature design of the KBin software. That’s because it’s based on Twitter where likes are public. Lemmy doesn’t publicly show those actions. Idk how far it goes in terms Kbin tracking guests though.
Just from what I understand myself, it’s that they are two different software setups. But they both use the ActivityPub standard that all federated content is using. KBin is different though in that it’s trying to be more like Twitter with Sub Reddits, than like Reddit with Tweeting. And Lemmy is just purely trying to recreate the Reddit experience. So like on Twitter, Mastadon, and KBin upvote is more of a like and people can see what accounts “like.” KBin and Mastadon share the same ‘microblogging’ feature which is like twitter. From what I understand they share microblogs across the fediverse.
And Lemmy and Kbin share communities/magazines together thanks to federation. So you’re on a magazine in KBin but I’m on Lemmy on Lemmy World looking at this community from Lemmy.ml interacting with you.
Overall I think if you like Twitter and Reddit and are fine with your entire history of actions being public KBin is perfect. If you just want a Twitter experience, Mastadon. If you want some more obscurity with your account like Reddit and only the Reddit experience, Lemmy.
Right now I think KBin’s feature parity isn’t too far off from Mastadon and Lemmy. But like the rule of any thing that combines two tools, it can’t be better than both separately. I think as Lemmy and Mastadon matures into their niches KBin will almost exclusively be playing catch up with both in the long term.
Shit, I’ll take a penny from each.
Enough with the analysis! Which one you wife’ing?
Yeah this is my concern with lemmy overall. Like if a server shutsdown, as far as my understanding goes, the communities and accounts go with it. Like yeah decentralized is great for democracy purposes but the hard line separation makes it a hard ask on time investment. And I’m sure it’s more likely to happen to larger instances than smaller since cost will be the hugest factor. I’m sure remaking your account isn’t a big deal but we’ve seen with Reddit a sub/community can be irreplaceable at times.
The first time a handful of large subs are lost on Lemmy I’m sure it’ll have great affect on how the community views Lemmy.
Same, my favorite subs to actually engage with are the game specific subs but they don’t exist here. But idk what the responsibilities of making a community is just yet. I don’t want to be sole moderator of a sub I traditionally loved just shit posting in.
Only certain servers allow users to make communities. I think Beehaw doesn’t allow users to make communities without approval or something. Not 100%. I’m on Lemmy.World and they let anyone make communities so I could make one now. (And I’m debating making entry points for some of my favorite subs that aren’t here yet despite not having much content to post to them at this time)
Eu salivating over it’s monoply case
