There aren't any; I might feel differently if you were a commercial enterprise, but since you're basically recreating /r/random, I'm ok with it.
Also suggest cross-posting this to [email protected] - did for ya.
You got some good results, but locking.
Folks, I can't get reelected with all these progressives being sober.
Second Day of Federation Test. Does anyone see this? Please reply with your account's home instance.

The downside to all this federated business I'm afraid. Usually it works... sometimes it doesn't.
The home server of askanamerican is infosec.pub and that instance IS on midwest.social's list of "federated instances" here: https://midwest.social/instances
Usually when you search for a new community/magazine, YOUR instance tries to reach out to the other instance and say "hey, do you have 'askanamerican'? if so, gimme the info, Ima gonna subscribe to that, and give me the last half dozen posts to start my user(s) off until I catch up."
Sometimes this fails for whatever reason - misconfiguration, traffic, instance getting slammed with new accounts and flood of new posts, who knows.
Infosec.hub isn't the largest but its not the smallest. Tho, I know the admin @[email protected] runs several other instances of other federated platforms at various infosec domains, they're rather busy.
I'd recommend trying again in a few hours, or tomorrow.
Between this and his Citzens Election Reform bill that will be debated in the Fall, am really liking what Mike's been up to. Glad he's my MP!
response back from lemmy.ca
I checked out of antiwork about the time of their TV/PR fiasco. I know the original intent of the sub was to be opposed to all work (I am oversimplifying), but it was coopted by a larger "lets make work better by calling out bad actors and bad behaviors" movement, which is what attracted me to it. Then the original mods kinda shot the movement in the foot and I stopped checking in.
Is the new /c/antiwork a return to their roots of "all work BAD, down with all work" or the larger "lets make work better" ethos?
Seems 'bout right. All I remember (i was... 11) is we hopped in a black cab and asked the driver "where do YOU go for fish and chips"? and it was London black cabs double parked round the block.
Best fish n chips I've ever had.
If IT or The Golden Chippy are half as good as I remember, yeah I'd travel 90m for a chippy too.
Is the Seashell of Lisson Grove still a thing? that's where our cabbie dumped us off when we asked him for the best chippy - albeit this was 1989, so.. :/
You’re using a no true scottsman fallacy by the way
Today I learned.
I suppose what I meant is the pundits frequently hold up having their Facebook posts removed as state censorship, that this is somehow in violation of their constitutionally protected right to expression - and its not. It IS censorship by a private body in a forum completely of that private entity's control, yet they wave the word censorship around to convince others that somehow its a shadowy conspiracy by the deep state or whatever to clamp down on freedom of expression.
Good question - and good answer - worth preserving, but as suggested you'll likely get better results in suggested communities. (locking).
