I know that, and I hate it. Yet, I do not know any other way to meet hot singles in my area (or not in my area).

It’s not really hard to type a website, it’s rather hard to remember it. You remember your username. Okay. But where were you? mastodon dot what?

When you use your full address, it’s not that hard to remember it.

The military-industrial complexes always have something to gain in wars (provided they manage to adapt in time). But there’s no other alternative industry that can supply the needed hardware to win a war, when an invasion happens. It just seems that’s all what our species can do best: kicking each other, then having a rest for a few dozen years and starting over.

If only those apps could have the ability to use an open protocol they were actually built on, that would allow this exact interoperability needed instead of a proprietary half-assed solution, what was its name again…?

I kinda get all the Threads worries and the fact that some people might not be comfortable with Meta collecting their data for advertising. But this is just insane. It just makes me think people are just irrationally angry at everything, and they like being that, instead of informing themselves about what everything does.

first time […] a mod didn’t like the viewpoint expressed.

Haha, wow, first time?

Welcome to this place. Lemmy.ml is notorious for being run by the actual tankies that created this project. See what they support, what they don’t, and have an opposite opinion on that. You will get the boys telling you how it acchually it is not and call you a glowie CIA agent or whatnot for not siding with them. The Reddit migration probably made them more accepting of opposite opinions, but probably because things have calmed down more a bit lately, they started aggressively moderating stances like yours and probably anti-Kremlin takes as well (seriously, before that, if you were against the Russian invasion in Ukraine or against China’s politics you would have been accused of being racist towards them - but hey, you can say whatever you want against the USA, or The West, you can’t be racist against these, can you?).

Anyway, here’s a longer take by FediTips that explains the issues with Lemmy:

This might be subjective, but imo, while Mastodon has the most feature complete apps, it’s not the most feature complete platform out there. Hell, even Kbin is more feature complete than Mastodon. I recommend trying Friendica, Hubzilla or Streams for a larger feature set.

Friendica should fit the bill right there for you. Or if you don’t want ActivityPub, check out diaspora*. There’s also Hubzilla which uses AP as well, but internally it uses its own Zot protocol.

Don’t know about you, but I feel the Fediverse has been flooded by actual news rn though. I’m probably already following too many publications, but I feel like my feed is flooded by them lately.

You can also use Friendica if you enjoy Tumblr. It has a wider degree of customization in regard to its interface, and you can also cross post or get your Tumblr feed in Friendica (provided the server you’re using has the appropriate tumblr addon).

From my understanding, they were already in debt to Moldova (not sure if I understood correctly).

For Moldova, however, this means that it eliminated a source for blackmailing from Russia. Despite also being state-owned, Transgaz and Romania don’t have a history of manipulating prices and cutting gas at will, just because of geopolitical interests and national politics of their clients.

Pretty much any game made by Valve. I have a bunch of friends that are really fans of them and I gradually started enjoying them as well.

two thirds are still two thirds - whether that’s 3 people out of 4 or 750.000 out of 1.000.000. And given that

A survey published in the journal BMC Psychiatry two months before the Taliban takeover found nearly half the population suffered from psychological distress.

I think the numbers are really worrying.

From what I understood, the gardens were, like, their headquarters. Bombing them would be their Achile’s heel.

Indeed, as @FunderPants said, Metro Last Light should answer some of your questions :D

It’s all fun and dandies until we upset poor Saudi Arabia 🤡🤡🤡

What a silly argument could someone against climate change activists come up with

With his very own existence

Don’t have kids

I maybe wouldn’t go that far, I would rather have a kid and teach them how to make this fucked world better.

I’m single anyway, tho, so little do I know.

Problem was that they are government agents/drones/whatever and this is costly for the government
