Makes more sense if you reverse it: Toxic Redditors tend to be politically engaged. It’s not the politics that makes them toxic it’s because they are toxic that they engage with politics so much. Most people who are informed with politics don’t necessarily engage. Of course there are people who do who aren’t toxic but the loudest voices usually are abrasive people.

I think it’s the same as any other platform. Right now the content in small communities is limited, but over time once there is a sizable amount of content that newcomers can get referred from or go through, Lemmy as a whole will get more traction. Since the Reddit exodus happened I definitely feel like Lemmy has grown a lot and I’m here for the long run.

As far as I understand, they were offering free hosting and bad actors took advantage. They didn’t want to start charging so they closed down. Like giving out candies on Halloween and one asshole takes the whole bowl. No candies for you kid, sorry.

RIP txti.es

If it’s anything like my house, they probably carpeted it because they were too lazy to plaster and paint

Could it be hiding pipes? Is there a sink or bath behind this closet?

Not piracy but I appreciate the meme. It’s like someone handing you a book with a sticker on it that says “don’t read!”. You rip the sticker off and read it anyway. If you didn’t want me to read it, then why did you hand me the book!

As a user of a small TKL keyboard, I can say from my own experience having a small keyboard makes it easy and less strenuous to switch between the mouse and keyboard since they are so close together. I also find I don’t really miss the extra keys, I can do my job just fine if not better without them, because of the added benefit of moving fast.
