I sat through this when it came out. And I never regretted a single second of doing so.

Never heard anyone getting payed for donating anything in Germany. You can get an compensation for expenses, yes. But this is not supposed to be a payment for your donation, it is supposed to compensate for your expenses. For example: Finding a babysitter or paying for bus, train, gas. Sometimes you have to make a medical examination beforehand, which also can take some time.
The German Red Cross for example explicitly doesn’t pay the donors so nobody gets the wrong idea and tries to donate as much and often at the cost of their own health.
I think the idea that a compensation is equal to a payment is flawed beyond reason. If someone has a problem with any organisation misusing donations for profit, they should (rightfully) engage in changing the law. Categorically not donating at all is…well it’s just selfish and stupid.
How the turn tables!
I first read “fediverse coup” and got exited. My answer is a disappointed no.
Pretty personal stuff. But I will try and keep that part short. She got a diagnosis. Nothing world ending but nothing pleasant either. And the only thing she could think of was ice cream. Again, the details are nobody’s business. So I fast forward to the important part. She processed the whole stuff while I was still trying to hold a grasp. She is way stronger and more mature than I. Her positive attitude is not an act, it is her very being. I on the other hand flip my shit when I catch the flu.

Officially? A bunch of bullshit. Actually? Guy got more likes.
I got banned from r/gaming for shit talking pedos. I don’t want these people here.
Anything porn or erotic stuff. And those communities dedicated to anime girls. Furry stuff, too. But I honest to god can’t remember why. Might have been a reflex.
Edit: I just checked and I also have a lot of lemmygrad communities from back before the defederation. Aaaaaaand I blocked anything AI “art”. List looks like this:
Mostly them. There have been also bastards (guides words, not mine) and something I called weird flappflapp. GF knew what its real name is, but I gave up trying to remember any of them. I am not a bird person, just happen to walk into them all the time.
If that would be the case, I would be very upset to not have visited it.
It’s a Scottish island in the North Sea bordering to the North Atlantic. It’s quite small. To reach it you have to take a ferry, then a smaller ferry, and then a dinghy.
Only if “tech tutorials” were a thing in the Olympics. I swear the gold medal would never go somewhere else.
I tried to recruit a friend of mine but the moment I tried to explain instances to him, he zoned out. I wouldn’t call it non-user friendly, but it’s not as simple and dumbed down like other social media is.
Also roughly a year ago there have been a couple of articles thrown around on Twitter and certain subreddits which wrote about CP stuff going on on Mastodon. So the Fediverse had some bad press. Which is rich coming from the site that allowed people like Violentacrez to fester.
Dude looks like some random Joe walking into the stadium and taking some shots before wandering off to the next pub. I love it.
Sure. Why not? It will probably work like it does with US police officers, magically turning off right before the murder takes place self defence happens.
Seriously, I wouldn’t care at all. But it’s still a stupid idea and I would strongly oppose it. Even if only in solidarity with people it would fuck over.
Don’t feel bad for blocking the worst offenders. Lemmy is small enough for that option to work quite well. Which is the best you can do. Being ignored drives them crazy.
