  • I would think and hope so.

  • they can harass you by continually sending you replies for WEEKS and WEEKS at a time (this actually happened to me twice, once with hexbear.net and another time with lemmygrad.ml).

    Honestly you really shouldn't be on an instance that federate with those places to start with.

    You may be interested to read some of the ways that PieFed is advancing democratization of moderation.

    Personally I'm not a fan of the way PieFed uses upvotes and downvotes to basically do statistics on users in order to profile "bad actors". That feels like karma from Reddit all over again.

    There can be many legitimate reasons why a user might downvote a lot, and a user being downvoted a lot is not necessarily problematic. They may just not be following the "hive mind", and honestly we could use more of those users.

  • You too? I've had more users sign up this month than for many past months!

  • This hit a bit too close to home.

  • When a fediverse app wins, the whole fediverse wins. A rising tide lifts all ships or however it goes.

  • Not what OP asked, but what OP needed to hear.

  • 🥁

  • The cool thing is that it's not like versus, it's like co-op!

  • User blocking also doesn't block votes so they'll also still influence your feed.

  • Ultra!

  • I mean it is censorship. But not all censorship is bad.

  • Well, in theory sure. But you always lose people during migrations, it's inevitable. And it's cumbersome for users. It's not a nice experience. The fediverse has enough bad UX as it is, I'd prefer if we didn't pile on more.

    If the fediverse actually held true to the promise of easy migrations, then maybe it wouldn't be a big deal. But unfortunately it's still not really that easy.

  • but they haven’t released anything yet

    And with their current pace, it seems likely they never will. There's been no major development on it for months as far as I can see.

  • Unfortunately migrating from one fediverse application to another on the same domain is actually basically impossible, due to the way ActivityPub works. It's very unfortunate.

  • I've had the exact same thought and it's not just in the US. Teachers are woefully underpaid in general. I think a part of the problem is that there's so many teachers that it would very expensive for society as a whole to give them a higher salary. I would totally do teaching if it paid better though.

  • Don't want to assume too much but I'm sorry for your loss.

  • Can't wait to ask my dead grandma to write a Python script for me

  • Hmm don't really agree, as you can observe different parts of space on different time periods due to light's finite speed and time dilation and such. Not all parts of space are at the same time simultaneously. Also, relativity tells us that the state you observe is different from the state of another observer. So you can't really write this number of the universe down (or at least, you can only write your own personal number down but it won't be the same as anyone else's number).

  • For me is irrelevant what other choose, they are people just like me and that’s enough.

    As far as I understand, the whole point is that some people don't think it's irrelevant and discriminate others based on their sexuality (or lack thereof). So they make it public and open up about it to show that it is not bad and lots of people are like that - that's kinda the whole point of the pride parades I think?
