I would trust myself, but I know that I would be the villain in some people’s lives.

Why is Meta lobbying at all?

They want to influence public policy for their benefit.

Why does any private entity have the ear of presidents and congress?

A large part of politics is balancing the needs of different groups.

Which is funny because Rage broke up when W Bush got elected.

Yep. And now Israel has a friendlier government to solidify its gains.

In high school, likely physics. I could also teach various math classes.

That’s good on them for doing that. It is also good for Mastodon in general since it means they are building the staff that can grow the service.

I try to prioritize doing the least work as possible. This has shockingly helped my career as my laziness means I’m efficient at work.

His buddy, Robert Rodriguez, did him a solid.

J. Draper makes a lot of interesting videos on London history, including bits not normally discussed.

Miles in Transit is a guy named Miles who takes a lot of transit. And that is a fun fact.

Movie Bob is an interesting movie reviewer that I like.

Patrick (h) Willems is not a content creator, he is a cinematic interpreting powerhouse.

I don’t know, since I’m not going to follow up on a conversation with a bad starter that just wants to talk without knowing what they want to talk about.

What you’re doing sounds like a lot of spam that I’ve been receiving.

We already kill cows to eat them. Wearing their skin is just using more of their material.

But you’ve consistently stated that the first step if an admin tries to build that sort of thing and does something that you disagree with is to leave. Don’t try to talk with the admins to help build a stable place, just leave.

I don’t see that as a good first step.

Outside of .ml and beehaw, what admins are that active and communicative with users in general? Who is publishing policy on how they are running their instance and showing how they are following through on it?

Most Lemmy instances are small hobbies run by vibes dictoral control of a single person and people change over time. Unless you build your own instance, admin relations will always be something that you have to deal with.

The mod in question is a major Star Trek nerd and there was a massive falling out recently with the user base of startrek.website and the mods/admins, which is why a lot of them moved to .world in the first place.

But what if your email did shit like that every year? Or now you have to switch messaging with a group of friends and some don’t want to jump to a certain new app?

But who changes their email every year?

They tried making prestige TV first, not enough people bought it.

Federation is as easy to migrate an email, but moving from one email account to another isn’t seamless. There is even more of a sunken cost as the database is public facing and can’t be move across instances like an email archive can be.

And the purpose of federation isn’t the ability to switch accounts freely, it isn’t built into the system. The purpose is like email, you can access multiple servers controlled by different groups from your own server controlled by people you’ve vetted.

Yeah, and the end result may be that a lot of subs leave. However, I would try other things first.
