Yea just like Catholics don’t consider unfertilised human eggs to be humans
The Catholics are consistent this time

Yea I have no beef with the dev charging. People need money
Having to accept that horrible Privacy Policy though, even if I do pay. No thanks
I think the point of the post is ain’t nobody donating $20 to the Lemmy platform or host or other apps
Why does it matter what we think?
I don’t mind so much that it’s not FOSS. Developer needs paying, fair enough
I want an app without an egregious Privacy Policy that doesn’t bundle code that shares “Usage Data” with advertisers
Hm, they’ve pre-emptively blocked threads.net. But yea the list is shorter
Not in favour of this.
I chose Lemmy.world because I wanted an instance that would federate even with people I might disagree with. If it’s illegal and abusive, sure. But to defederate on ideological grounds? I was planning a recurring donation but this makes me consider setting up my own instance.
They’re welcome to whatever discussions they want to have on their instance. As long as they respect the rules of other instances when they’re here, then everybody wins.
As for their point about dismantling western propaganda - if they have documented sources then let’s have a conversation. It’s not like there isn’t western propaganda
How dare people operate in that time zone! Russian civilians should all adopt western time and speak English! 🙄
Yea implying that we don’t have propaganda and narratives on our side of the wall is naive
If we want the truth then an open discussion is the path. There will be arguments in bad faith, sure. But that’s not limited to “them”. It’s a human discussion thing.
I just find it unpleasant how we’re supposed to hate the Russian people now, as if they’re personally responsible for the war
But really there’s no reason whatsoever to put restrictions on the smaller weaker country who is being invaded. War is hell. Russian civilians can rise up against Putin if they don’t feel safe in their own country.
Do you want to apply that to 9/11?
How many GB is your filesystem/database as a single-user instance?
It’s a bit disingenuous to blame a country for having high emissions when it has 10x the number of people
That means it needs 10x the amount of electricity, vehicle fuel etc.
By the same logic, the Vatican City is a world leader in climate policy.
Should we start comparing China with the Americas and Europe combined? Because that’s a more like-for-like comparison
Countries like China have awful, awful climate impacts, much worse off than most other countries.
Except that isn’t true
If you choose to drive a car and burn 10 litres of fuel, the responsibility is on you, not the oil company that produced it for you
Yea probably similar to how Lemmy and Kbin are theoretically compatible. ActivityPub doesn’t guarantee that, it’s only because they happen to use ActivityPub in the same way. If one of them changes their implementation, compatibility breaks.
I do often wonder how much it matters that all these platforms use ActivityPub
Yea imagine buildings being made of bricks and not match sticks
I’m guessing they’re saying the quality of Taylor Swift’s music peaked and dropped similarly to the Fed’s rate?
That’s to support the Lemmy software but I’m looking to donate to the Lemmy.world instance
That needs a character count really. Words isn’t a particularly relevant measure when the language uses compound words
