Lol I just said this and got downvoted to the bottom.


Kurzgesagt, literally just a propaganda mouthpiece


OK, and how is that any different than making friends childless?


Wait for your kids to make friends, then get to know their parents


Key here is married. You already found each other and gained each other’s friends


More users means more content, which is a positive of course.


One of reddit’s power users and 7th(?) oldest account ever probably belonged to Ghislaine Maxwell (maxwellhill)

I’m pretty sure that one isn’t true. The user made a statement after she was arrested.


That’s fair. But if that’s your goal, you’d be better off working to end the government subsidies on meat and dairy that exist solely so people will eat more meat, rather than wasting time trying to eliminate every bit from your own diet. If we managed to remove those subsidies, the price of meat/dairy would quadruple and millions of animals would be saved from consumption. Not to mention people would probably be healthier too.


tbf you are also having humans abused and hurt for you. Prisons to remove inconvenient people from society, wars over resources and power, and slavery overseas to produce goods at low cost. Even if you go vegan, you’re still complicit in unspeakable crimes against humanity as a member of society.



How many users here do you think are going to get bored and end up back on Reddit as soon as the blackout ends?
I don't mean to be pessimistic, bit since most subreddits are only going dark for a couple days, the site will basically be back to normal soon. I wonder how many users here are only here because of temporary outrage and not because they actually prefer Lemmy. I'm curious about people's outlook on this situation. ::: spoiler /s Edit: Wow this blew up! Edit 2: Thanks for the gold kind stranger! Edit 3: RIP my inbox! I can't believe this made /r/all!

Adopting a consistent way to do it that everyone agrees on is the hardest part. PGP works but you have to make it easy and integrate it with all the top email providers so that most people are using it without even noticing.


Absolutely. Now we’re stuck using a protocol that has zero encryption because decades ago no one thought about that. All our private correspondence is readable by every ISP and government it passes. If only we could make an email 2.0…


Email is the oldest Federated service.
I was struggling to wrap my head around how federated social media works until I realized that email has basically been doing the same thing for 30 years. Different email servers are like instances of a federated network. You can send emails to people from within a single server or you can send emails to people on any other mail server. Your email address is a username followed by an '@' and the server address, just like on Lemmy. Email is a decentralized service I've been using the whole time!
