Unfortunately, it still happens even here on Lemmy. I don’t think we see it as much because most communities here have far fewer mods than adjacent Reddit subs on average, but occasionally you’ll find a mod here who thinks they know better than their community and does whatever they feel like.
I feel like that trope doesn’t really ring true these days, as most of the “general purpose” instances are pretty moderate. Back when Lemmy was still just a small handful of instances, that was definitely the case, but I think the wider adoption has balanced things out a bit closer toward center, overall.
Shame, that one was easy enough that even my mom was able to watch her shows. Hopefully the Hydra regenerates quickly.
How did the wakeyuppymen know what time to start wakeyuppying, tho?
if it worked, there would be no unemployment.
That would imply that 100% of unemployed people are referred to this program, or made aware of its existence at all.
Well, falling into the same traps would be awfully Sisyphean of him.
Spot-on. I knew what this was before I clicked it.
Edit: Within 28 mins I’ve got -9 votes and nothing to answer. Think it proves my point.
The fact that you think there is a “point” to be made when you’re supposed to be the one asking a question and trying to learn, shows us that you had ill intent from the start. You told on yourself with this one.
Gerwoman.
Besides solid access to content piracy is also about a message, a statement about sovereignty, rights and freedoms and paying for it means the complete subversion of the ideal.
Bruh, it’s just stealing movies. You’re not taking down The Man with your sick seed ratios. This line of thinking is how people become radicalized lmao
Probably just for the poetic justice of seizing money from Russia and giving it to Ukraine.
Instacart is being miserly by not paying their workers a fair wage.
Instacart is paying their workers fairly. It’s just that the driver is not an Instacart worker.
They’re not employees, they’re contractors. And when you, the customer, place an order, they are now your worker as you’ve entered into a contract with this person. They aren’t working for Instacart or the store, they’re working for you. And you’re the one who pays for their time and labor, that all comes out of the service charges on your order.
That’s how all these apps work. They don’t get paid anything by the app, they get paid by you through the app.
Ahh, this is their “discredit the media” phase of fascism, I see.
Slow down there, Jimmy Neutron. Can you use simpler terms?
Last time I looked at my phone in a dream, the screen turned red and it started blaring the Amber alert tone, but like… in G-Major. Scared me awake, and then like 2 minutes later my alarm went off and re-scared me.
Not really, though. If they’re ordered to turn over IPs, they’ll turn over IPs. Whether those are legit or VPN IPs is another story, but the burden placed on the instance admin doesn’t really change much.
That doesn’t help instance admins at all, though.
Pointing out that something exists doesn’t mean condoning its usage.
I disagree, you can see so much on the old layout specifically because it’s a wall of text. The new layout is unnecessarily bloated and takes up your whole screen on every device you view it from, so you can barely see more than one or two posts at a time. It removes the ability for the user to freely scroll and look at things that interest them, and forces the user’s attention onto exactly what the algorithm wants them to. The new layout removes a ton of agency from the user.
