So, how many years until you pay the devs’ salaries?

Mr. Dessalines and Principal Nutomic were in the closet making 19.4 and I used one of the pre-releases and the pre-release gave me Havana Syndrome and made me into a Manchurian Candidate!

Perhaps you are not aware that some instances already do, and that some—for example hexbear & lemmygrad—have done so since their inception.

The way it plays out is

I don’t know what mental model someone is working from to draw such a conclusion. A free speech absolutist one? A consumer rights one? 🤷

Whether there should be right wing comms is up to an instance’s admins, and whether other instances should federate with it is up to the admins of other instances.

As for absolutism, consider the paradox of tolerance.

The USian obsession with free speech comes from the over-application of a first amendment right. That freedom is in fact a restriction on the State to abridge speech, and not a restriction on Lemmy mods or admins.

Maybe the real tankies are the comrades we made along the way

I don’t think this is a bad suggestion, but it’s worth noting that lemmy.ml is explicitly intended not to be the “main” Lemmy, or even a major one: What is lemmy.ml?

I’m thrilled to be able to use 2FA now, because I’m able to get an otpauth URI to feed to pass!

Thanks, I’ve switched from Patreon to Liberapay.
