Instances are like subreddits where the mods are top level admins, and there is no central admin above them. Anyone who wants to create an instance can host their own server. Communities can be duplicated between instances so you could have dozens of c/gaming communities rather than a single community for a topic which stifles engagement a bit. The cost of hosting is paid by the admins of an instance or by donations. Sponsors and ads are not currently feasible.
Unmoderated instances allow any new instance’s content to be displayed for their users.
Lmao I’m not surprised that a wallstreetbets mod thought a subreddit’s name is a trademark.
You don’t have to wait for it to cool. As water evaporates the dissolved solids in it reach a higher concentration. If the concentration becomes greater than the molecule’s solubility it will precipitate and fall to the bottom.
What happens when you swipe sideways in the app?
Would be nice to have the option to have swipes navigate backward and forward too. I’ve been throwing out downvotes like candy lmao.
While cats are inarguably cool, they are also one of the greatest human-caused dangers to life on our planet. They did the right thing.
The source code can be forked. That particular issue is nothing to be concerned about.
An even better strategy for Reddit would have been to prevent Spez from making public statements about it. If the protestations had been ignored it would have blown over quickly.
There is no objective purpose to life. Having a hobby is a popular way to enjoy the limited time available.
The name comes from the USSR’s practice of deploying tanks to crush dissent.
Whitelist federation is one strategy. Rather than defaulting to federation with every instance a proactively moderated instance would only federate with approved requests.
The internet is not something you just dump something on.
Not sure if that was a joke or a sincere lack of familiarity. What tankies want is a restoration and supremacy of the USSR to spread what they called communism.
For a healthy diet make sure to only eat reasoned rebuttals sparingly. You should get most of your nutrition from name calling. /s
Each level of argument has a purpose. Know your audience and use whatever is most effective. You’re not going to get anywhere calling a doctor a poopyhead just as you won’t accomplish anything by presenting facts to a conspiracy theorist.
Your audience will be most effectively convinced by logic, emotion, or authority. It should be pretty simple to figure out which one to use.
In some contexts arguing is synonymous with conflict.
When I argue in a public forum my goal is directed more to third parties than to an individual who may not be acting in good faith.
Why does that person need to have an actual account on Threads?
They don’t. They just use their existing Instagram account.
It’s literally the same account you already have.
Facebook. Simple as.
