Yes it is one of the many arbitrary things that that specific religion demonizes. Probably has its roots from way back in the day so that women couldnt effectively run away from the men and get very far. Same reason most Muslim women arent allowed to drive. To this day they still have to have permission to leave and go do things without a man. Edit: lol at the downvotes. Give it a google if you don’t believe me 🤷‍♂️

It will not be any better by then. In fact it will probably worse when they do have a solid understanding of the internet and the infastructure behind it they will be able to use it to our disadvantage even more than they already are.

I believe this is the plan for most of them. I know Signal messenger has said as much and Im sure Telegram and even Whatsapp (lol at the idea of whatsapp being secure) wont stick around either. Seems like the easiest way to solve this problem. The downside is, once this passes the USA and other countries are bound to follow suit. Especially Australia’s spying ass, if they havent passed something like this already.

Someone has probably mentioned it already but Jerboa is giving me this error when trying to use lemmy.world

You know this is another big aspect to all this that people keep forgetting. They DID act like they had no control getting rid of problematic mods in the past but it sure wasn’t an issue getting rid of actually good mods when it hurt reddits bottom line. Also I know it was a bigots comment but Spez fucked around and edited peoples comments and shit too. It’s just WAY too power trippy over there.

I got shadowbanned from the entire site once from pissing a mod off. I wasn’t even being combative or anything I posted a link to dispute misinformation and just said “That’s wrong though. Here is a link from the Mayo clinic explaining it” and got banned. No warning, no message, nothing. I had to make a new reddit account conpletely i couldnt upvote or comment on ANY subreddit after that. All for pissing off a mod. I hated how much power they have (had?)

I’ve used Baconreader for as lpng as I can remember and the only reason I even know it’s an ad is seeing you all talk about it just now lol was it really that bad?

You can change defaults in your profile settings. Also, you should try not being such a fucking asshole

You just have to get used to how federation works. Their is bugginess from the influx of new users right now but give it time. A good way to get used to how federation works is using Mastadon (which also integrates with Lemmy on many instances)

This is why im considering being done with reddit altogether. The API stuff was messed up but this is SUPER shady

Right? It’s like sleeping with strangers without a condom on. Even the FBI recommends an adblocker now.

Linux users salivate

Yupp, bit of a leopards ate my face moment! Is their a community for that on here yet btw?

You’re god damn right Eagle Shriek

The gaming instance on beehaw is picking up steam! But yeah it will take some time before it’s able to compete with r/gaming but I am here for it!

It isn’t its just an article with pics of cool billboards. Idk how to get it to post with just the link and not the entire text with no pictures.

I wish gold was a thing here because I’d give it to you.

Dude for real! I thought people were just saying that because fuck the guy but no it’s actually true. Pretty fucked up! And as far as I had seen on Reddit it wasn’t ever mentioned before although that’s probably because Spez would have shadowbanned and deleted/edited the comments if it did ever out him.

I agree requring third party apps to contain their ads would have been a WAY better move. It’s funny to me though that Reddit claims to be unprofitable but pulls in $456 million and some change per year. Greedy fuckers

What’s the broken arms about? I would just look it up but it would benefit the site to share it here!
