Tbf, a country with universal healthcare (and a corrupt government) is the perfect target for a predatory healthcare industry; doesn't matter to them if the money they get is directly from the patients, or if it comes from the government.
My decision isn't based on metrics, just by how many .ml posts/comments I see that I know I wouldn't if I'd blocked the instance. I know a lot of crap comes from them, and I don't doubt they're problematic, but for the most part, the shitty posts and comments from them are down voted to hell so I never see them, or are from users I've already blocked.
I could, but for the very reasons you cite instances don't defederate from them, I don't. I block individuals that post bullshit I don't like, but my feed is already small as it is without purging a sizable amount of it.
OP is assumedly going to companies looking to hire eg a copyrighter for themselves and pitching himself as a one-person team with no experience.
OP should be going to copyright companies looking to hire a copyrighter as an employee for their own firm, where they will receive training.
For the mechanic example, it's like trying to start your own freelance mechanic company with no experience vs getting a job at a shop as a rag-getter and learning things as you go.
I'm pretty sure that they specifically repost things posted from .ml accounts. They aren't looking at the posts or hoping to farm "karma" or whatever, they're trying to de-populate the instance.
Can be pretty annoying when all the .ml posts line up with the cm00* posts.
But how would you feel if a financially stable, but socially flawed, middle aged woman from the South, were to date a moderately financially stable, but socially accepted, young man from Singapore? What are your thoughts on that?
*sent, past-tense. Yeah it was fucked up but he did it to people that were making fun of him and his condition and he's since acknowledged that it was gross and wrong to do what he did. It's ok to not forgive the dude but misrepresenting the situation to get others on your side is kinda lame.
Honestly, fair and valid. But maybe op has not had it explained this way before? Only ever getting banned for "breaking the rules" without an explanation behind the rule.
Why the condescending tone? 90% of users on Lemmy post things and have "some other person" host it. I personally don't enjoy much of the content they want to post, but in a platform starved for content (and easily user-filtered) I don't think we should be getting feisty with people wanting to post.
I'm all for getting kids the hell off of social media, but...
“It actually places the responsibility on the teens and the parents to be the ones who are doing the work, when actually the technology companies in the first place could actually just design social media platforms that were safer and algorithms that were less risky and unsafe,” she said.
"It makes it so parents have to actually parent their kids when the companies should just instill my preferred parenting style on my child for me" certainly is a take.
"We do really need federal legislation that says that these companies are not allowed to come into this country and operate like this to put anyone in harm’s way,” she said
Most of these companies are not "coming into this country", you talking-point parroting buffoon. Stop blaming our utter failure as a nation on the Boogeyman.
Clavicular on Channel 5. Yeah, that was quite an interesting watch. You can tell that Clavicular has the foundation of someone that could actually be intelligent, but his brain is so rotted away we're left with that.
