I read the title 10 times and was still confused until I saw your comment. And I'm not even dyslexic.

Or am i...?

I think we inadvertently have given x.org the hug of death in the past few days... I don't think their server have seen so many people link to it at once.

Joe "windmills are utterly offensive" Hockey

As much as I dislike the man, credit where credit is due, I guess. Then again, it was probably the idea of some mid-level employee whose name will be lost in history.

Thanks for taking the time. This is wonderful.

I'm no veg(etari)an by any measure, but I have this to say to people who are exclusively meat-eaters: you're missing out on a world of interesting flavours and textures.

Next time you make chicken curry, replace half the chicken with tofu. Bolognese - do half lentils & kidney beans. Beans and legumes are cheap as, great for the current economic climate (and the real climate, I guess..)

PS: mushrooms are the food of gods. There's just so many varieties, you can use them for nearly anything.

It's like a "special military operations", in the workplace!

Apple seems to have different weighting rules than Android. I'd be interested to see what their regional Play Store looks like.

Also, 2.7 on Australian play store 👍

You can still do it through Linux, if you know the right commands..

Yeah, I've seen more mature discussions in the verse in a month, than I have on Reddit in the past year or two.

The other big one lately is Facebook/Meta joining the verse. Response from the instances have ranged from "Meta can go to hell, we're not gonna federate", to "we'll wait and see", to "great! more content". And they all just agree to disagree with almost no drama.

It's quite refreshing.

Beehaw was built as a safe space (even before all the Reddit furore) - it's all laid out in their main sidebar, and their docs.

So after the big migration last month, users started flocking to the 'verse. And apparently beehaw mods were having so much moderating issues with users from two of the bigger instances (lemmy.world & sh.itjust.works). So after a meeting of admins from the 3 instances, they decided to amicably defederate for now.

And this is the beauty of Federation. You can join instances that align with your values. You can join a safe space and have a curated experience, or enjoy the lawless wild west.

The instance I'm on has defederated NSFW instances, for fear of legal issues. It also means that my "All" feed is safe to browse from work, which is exactly what I'm looking for.

So beehaw.org defederated from lemmy.world (not Lemmy in general) , and all it does is that users on those two servers can't interact with each other.

But everyone else in the hundreds (thousands?) of other Lemmy & Kbin servers can still see beehaw.org & lemmy.world content and interact with them just fine.

The magic of Federation.

Ah, a fellow janitorial staff. Some of these shit have been there so long they've seeped through the walls. There's no way to get rid of them, short of demolishing the whole building.
