  • Interestingly, that shark is a silky shark, literally named that because of the smoothness of its skin...

  • I hope you can appreciate that that does not in any way change my reply

  • Proprietary centralisation and gatekeeping of the internet, built by a profit first company that actively and deliberately protected nazis and kiwifarms until it became financially harmful for them to continue to do so.

    They can fuck right off.

  • Get some silica gel in there too

  • Again though, yours was second hand, and OLED monitors very much used to have a burn in problem.

    The new ones off the shelf today do not though.

  • The question was "Is it still a problem". It definitely used to be, but if you buy a new OLED monitor today, you'd have trouble burning without a deliberate effort

  • Does your monitor go to sleep when you're not using it? If so, you'll be fine

  • They move to m.org, then they find their feet with matrix, then they move to a better instance.

  • The thing you need to realise is that when someone signs up for a safe space instance, they are making their own decision about the content they wish to see.

  • Look, I absolutely understand that some people want to make their own choices about moderation. I was the same, until I existed as trans on Twitter for too long.

    My point isn't about blocking right wing transphobia stans.

    My point is that if they don't block anyone, you get CSAM, you get Nazi's, you get ethnic cleansing advocates etc. And that's why an empty defederation list is a red flag. I'm explicitly not taking about instances that don't block many other instances. I'm talking about instances that don't block any.

  • It's not about you. It's about the type of content that will appear on the server, even if you personally block it.

  • especially since there are no blocked instances

    That's not a good sign tbh...

  • Yep, but piefed and lemmy both have tools to propogate communities to small instances so that they can be discovered and followed. So you won't see content that no one on the instance is interested in, but if someone is, they'll be able to find the community for it, even if they're on a small instance.

  • They've been talking this up for a long time now. I'm glad its finally happened.

  • The reason I doubt that is because I can't smell ants "all the time". And I can definitely smell them when they're disturbed. But most people who talk about smelling ants describe the smell as "damp" or "mouldy" or "earthy", and I have never smelled an ant that smells like that.

    The only smell I've ever smelled from them is acrid and acidic, and that only happens when they're disturbed or dead.

  • I don't think they're talking about the dead/distressed ant smell. To the best of my knowledge, everyone can smell that. They're talking about a general smell of ants

  • I volunteer at parkrun and have done so for about 10 years now!

  • I wouldn't have the first clue how to answer that question!

  • Centralised social media
