The headline makes it sound scarier than it is. They’re being replaced by the current second in command, not some partisan nut job. Plus, it’s being done by the mayor of Milwaukee, a city that has a history of electing socialist mayor’s; he’s fairly liberal, especially for a state like Wisconsin.

Well then maybe it’s important to note he isn’t on trial for treason? The charges are for hacking and espionage.

Wait, so every time I breathe out I’m actually vomiting? TIL.

Article title isn’t super clear, but this is for video game developers who have either been laid off themselves OR others on their team have been impacted. It’s still bad, but the 35% quoted as impacted in the article is not actually a percentage of layoffs.

Would it blow your mind doubly to find out he’s actually in his 50s?

So it doesn’t show the potential spoiler picture in peoples’ feeds would be my guess

What, you don’t normally buy your morning coffee by the quart?

Connect can also block at the instance level

I got mine from Costco, they go on sale once or twice a year there

They could still make a Matrix movie without Keanu

Thank goodness for Tony Evers.

Saying they cited transparency issues is disingenuous. They never mentioned transparency in their announcement. What their reasoning was is that they didn’t like having to worry about leaking unreleased features through their repos, and instead of finding a technical solution they decided to just stop maintaining their public repos instead and made the code closed source. It’s shitty, but they didn’t say it was done for transparency reasons.

Here’s the actual announcement: https://www.reddit.com/r/changelog/comments/6xfyfg/an_update_on_the_state_of_the_redditreddit_and/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

How exactly would it put them in the line of fire? And how does defederating have anything to do with potentially being sued by Twitter?

It’s a decent bandaid, but I don’t want to block all NSFW content, I just want better controls around it so I’m not fighting an onslaught of creative new community names around anal whenever I open the site or an app.

I could indeed join another instance, but figuring out which instances are federated to which other instances is a bit of a slog from a user perspective unless there’s a big searchable graph available somewhere (which is entirely possible, I’m still very ignorant).

And who knows, maybe the apps will get better and be able to grab a local-only feed for each instance you have an account on and can patch together a feed from them all mixed together, and that would get me close to a workable solution for the long run.

Thanks for the response!

I think I might be done with lemmy until that’s introduced. I want to be a part of the midwest.social community on here, but I don’t want to block new porn communities every day as their volume of votes tends to dominate the feed.

And I don’t want to set it to subscribed communities only, because then I won’t find new communities I’ll actually enjoy and engage with. I think there’s a lot of potential with these federated communities, but it’s just not mature enough for user controls yet.

Is there any way to block an entire server that’s federated to the one you have an account on? I don’t want to individually block every single community.
