Trump still has the option to bring it to the Sycophantic Court of the United States.

There is no "right flag", (there are flags you shouldn't bring, like MAGA or confederate flags). Trying to figure out the least offensive message or flag is less important than your peaceful participation. Fox is going to spin anything so just get yourself out there and raise your voice.

Well, here's hoping you have a better time with us on Lemmy! My Reddit account is 8 years old, but I stopped using it and have been on Lemmy full time for 2 years now.

I think the issue is you are posting too early for Reddit, you should be commenting for the first week at least.

Essentially, the coarse-grained spam-filter assumes that anyone that has a whole bunch of posts ready to go the day they sign up is a bot spammer. Even here on Lemmy, if you sign up then immediately try to copy and paste a post 10 times to different communities, you will get reported and banned for spamming.

The principle behind it is like any social space online or offline: if you are a legitimate new member, you will start on the fringes and slowly settle in, from introducing yourself to a few members, attend events, to then asking questions, before making any influential speeches or going into a leadership position. Anyone trying to fast track that will be met with suspicion from members.

Reddit and Lemmy are similar in a sense. you start as a lurker, become a commentor, then you are well-adjusted enough to post.

Newsom and Californians better save that clip for their lawsuits.

And if SCOTUS favours the President ahead of democracy then Congress in two years should impeach the SCOTUS justices for bad behaviour.

No, it was originally an August 2023 shitpost that was like "y'all upvote anything so here's a can of beans". That spurred the first wave of bean memes, and it has subsequently been trending every few months or so.

Watching thisngame, it got back to 3-3 I left the bar, I knew they'd have a better shot if I didn't watch.

You already know, that if some Floridian Neo-Nazi group gets a van thrown at them, the tune will immediately change as if they said nothing of the sort.

Decent game claim this week.

If they're going to do that they need that on a completely separate site, not on Wikipedia itself.

That screenshotted summary is terrible and very un-encyclopedia like.

Since they know the idea of travelling to the US is unpopular among Canadians right now, Porter seems to be trying the "asking for a New York friend" route in their advertising. This is the 2nd one I've seen.

I've been watching/listening, seeing Peter sub in for David is making me do double-takes, and aside from his voice made me question for a minute if they were the same guy, just that he grew hair all of a sudden.

Since the server went off of OVH, lemmy.ca has felt super snappy overall. Tonight I'm noticing lagspikes, and the status graph shows it too...

I'll check back in the morning, site's still usable so not an urgent matter. It'd be interesting for me to know what might be happening.

Morning edit: seems like a one off.

I'm planning to start a new Satisfactory world with a number of friends and acquaintances of mine, some from different friend groups.

In a game like Minecraft, the world is limitless and people can set their base up anywhere, obtain resources wherever they please and just trying not to impede on others too much. In Satisfactory I worry a bit about competing over the resources or ideal space, or someone decides to take down another person's hourslong work to make a more efficient factory, etc.

What would be ways that I could fairly share the world with many people? I'd think most of the people would get along and the objective is shared, but I'd want to reduce areas of frustration where possible and would appreciate any advice to that end.
