  • Mocking users and injecting religion into your comments isn't going to win you much support on Lemmy.

  • Reddit is introducing a new moderator: AI

    Jump

  • Reddit's main strategy now seems to be injecting AI into everything and hoping investors go "wow!!!".

  • AIPAC indicates it will continue spending against El-Sayed through November

    Jump

  • The Democratic Party is just as much in the pocket of AIPAC as the Republican Party; if anything this will just cause AIPAC to increase their lobbying further.

    Edit: I'm not trying to make a 'both sides' argument; the Democratic Party is far and away superior to the Republican Party. However, the party itself is not nearly as anti-Israel as its most progressive-leaning candidates are, meaning that a nationwide Democratic victory is unfortunately unlikely to result in the complete cessation of arm sales to Israel or recognition of genocide in Gaza.

  • US pressures African allies to withdraw from ICC, threatens 'consequences'

  • The EU should counter those efforts by conditioning their own aid on ICC membership.

  • Threadiverse Major Defederations Graph

  • As others informed me, Hexbear still uses the allowlist system. While it seems like they're pretty good about adding instances that don't defederate them to their whitelist, six instances with over 50 MAU that don't defederate them are effectively defederated from them due to not being on their whitelist.

  • Americans Are Turning on Trump | The president’s big gains with Black, Hispanic, and young voters in 2024 suggested a major shift. Less than two years later, he has lost those new supporters.

  • I'm sure the many people who have died as a result of Trump being elected will thank them for their change of heart. /s

  • Threadiverse Major Defederations Graph

    Jump

  • Agreement with differing ideas isn't necessary, but willingness to tolerate difference is necessary if the Threadiverse is to grow beyond 40,000 MAU.

    Given that we're already at a disadvantage due to the network effect, as long as new users aren't racist, homophobic, transphobic, fascist, or otherwise exclusionary, they shouldn't be pushed out for having differing political beliefs to the group norm. Instances need not enforce rigid orthodoxy to a broad set of beliefs to avoid becoming a Nazi bar.

    Beyond politics, many potential users would rather see non-political content in any case, something that is largely lacking compared to the broad availability of content on Reddit. Many users are unfortunately not willing to switch over without a greater proportion of such communities active here from the get-go. Even if such users join for different reasons than existing users, a greater MAU count would help reverse the user count hemorrhaging than has gradually occurred since the initial mass exodus from Reddit in 2023.

  • How Rogue Officers Turned a Nationwide Camera Network Into a Tool for Stalking

    Jump

  • The problem with many of the articles that discuss how the system is being 'misused' act as if the mass surveillance involved is otherwise entirely acceptable, so long as it's used for its intended purpose.

  • Trump just lost his battle to force a university to release its “list of Jews”

  • Polls have repeatedly demonstrated that around a third of Americans support Trump's policy positions on nearly everything; here's a graph with multiple issues listed to demonstrate (source):

  • Trump just lost his battle to force a university to release its “list of Jews”

  • A third of the U.S. thinks that anyone to the left of the most conservative Democrat is a communist, while many centrists normalize fascism on a regular basis.

  • Florida’s MAGA Attorney Threatens to Defund Catholic Schools Over Vaccine Mandate

    Jump

  • “Having no legitimate religious reason to refuse granting religious exemptions to the taking of abortion-derived vaccines, Catholic schools in Florida should comply with Florida law.”

    The dishonesty of conflating stem cell research with vaccine research aside, assholes like this want countless people to die of preventable diseases in the name of not benefitting from a handful of abortions that would still be occurring.

  • I realized that afterwards as people replied; in reviewing all instances with at least 50 MAU, I found that while Hexbear is the main user of the whitelist system, lemmynsfw now also uses it for exclusive federation with fedinsfw.

    Lemmy.sinistraverso.org has it enabled, but doesn't have any instances on the list, so it doesn't seem to do anything in its case.

    Netflix Hit With $105M Lawsuit Over Stolen Nicolas Cage Movie Drive

    Jump

  • They claim Netflix ruined their chances of selling the World War II spy thriller, titled Fortitude, by losing the master copy during an internal screening review.

    Netflix executives asked to see a working version of Fortitude after looking at sales materials. Filmmakers provided the key to a digital cinema package so staff could test the movie internally.

    The true master copy was never handed over, so it couldn't have been lost.

    The stolen hard drive held an unencrypted copy of the $45 million picture.

    Valuing theoretical lost ticket sales for the pirating of a yet-to-be marketed movie with a budget of $45 million at $105 million is ludicrous. At a 60 percent share of the U.S. average ticket price of $16.30, that would be assuming that not only would 10.7 million people pirate the movie, but that those 10.7 million people wouldn't have watched a different movie had the only means of watching it been at the movie theater.
