Has polandball come across to the fediverse yet?

Classic Conservative tactic.

“Evil, stupid, greedy-” stuffs pockets “-jobless, welfare scroungers!” stuffs pockets “Pensioners, vote for me to bring down our welfare spending!”

Yeah - what I meant by ‘unilateral’ is that beehaw defederating from .world is that .world users can’t interact with beehaw communities, PLUS beehaw.org users can’t interact with .world communities.

Unilateral defederation to me would mean the first case, but not the second.

Yup. Things like easily editing posts or getting extra context menus up, or sorting feeds by Top Hour or 6 Hour - Liftoff can do this but Thunder can’t.

The only feature that I can think of that Thunder has that Liftoff doesn’t is swipe actions.

Of course - unless your prices increase to match, which requires consumer prices to increase to match too.

My angry point is - small, independent businesses shutting down is inherent to the system as it stands.

Good point. It certainly had the Streisand effect last time.

So you see, Your Honour, we didn’t sell Facebook any data - we just sold Facebook the ability to harvest our users data directly.

This is happening because our wages haven’t kept up with rising costs. Otherwise paying £20 for a fish and chips wouldn’t be an issue.

Then you missed out on the controversy of the admins changing stuff they didn’t like in the past then!

This will be no different.

Have you tried Liftoff? I’ve never had any issues with it.

I do like Thunder, but it’s harder to navigate to people’s profiles and communities.

I’d actually prefer it if they opened up to me.

Ground.news is actually pretty cool. It aggregates all articles it finds on a certain topic/headline, attempts to summarise them, highlights the publications political and general biases.

It’s a good way to consume news, in my opinion. Besides - it’s one extra click to get to any of the associated articles.

So, what was the title of your thesis?

On the internet, everyone is a man or an FBI agent.

C. It’s a trick question.

Ah, okay - thanks for the explanation.

I do like the idea of multi-winner elections because of the increased chance of having a representative for your specific issues taken to a national assembly. In the UK things are split up into boroughs, which seems illogical for cities and aside from being grandfathered in likely only persists because it enables gerrymandering.

What a neat find.

Interesting. Apple & Amazon’s defense argument of ‘stop counterfeits’ essentially contains the subtext of ‘because it was expensive to us, not the consumer’ - considering if you received a counterfeit product it likely wasn’t a hassle to get Amazon to refund it (and presumably by that time the seller had jogged on, and Amazon couldn’t get their money back).
