Huh? Didn’t they start this like last month? Or is this not the “get money from your contributions” thing?

holy shit, I’ve been reading this url as “sh, it just works” for MONTHS and was super ??? about what it meant. I only just now realized it’s “shit just works” and…oh. that makes a lot of sense.

I just, can’t imagine running out of tv shows??? I have probably 8 or so on my to-be-watched list, and the list only gets longer. I’ve watched 1 season each of 2 shows (Foundation S1 & Golden Compass S3) this YEAR. Oh and maybe Rings of Power was this year, too.

so I totally get your point. For example, a therapy group that says, “this is a free speech area” and has 8 members who are all queer, would probably not mean it as a dogwhistle, and in that case, it also probably would not be one. But also, they wouldn’t be saying it to anyone other than those 8 members.

The thing is, in this case it legit does not matter the intent, they are saying it on a public chat forum. That makes it a dogwhistle regardless of intentionality, and it will be recognized as such, because if you say that on a public platform on the internet, guess who will hear it.

And now no matter what their intention is, if they didn’t want it to be a dogwhistle, it was one, and now their moderation is 10000x as difficult, because look who they’ve attracted the attention of now - and chased away.

I’d argue, it’s always a dogwhistle. You might not realize you’re using a dogwhistle, but you definitely are.

In other words, “free speech platform” is not actually “free speech platform,” rather it is a dogwhistle.

Seems entirety of reddit had a brief downtime earlier according to some other thread that I can’t find anymore

just wait, reddit is 100% going to sunset old.reddit within the next year

lol I debated, but it sounded nicer to say community

(not this community specifically)

This is a kbin community :P

Good for you OP! I stopped standing to pledge around when I was maybe 10 or 11, when I learned it was illegal to make standing for it mandatory & about how the words ‘under God’ were added later and the pledge violated separation of church and state. I come from a very liberal area and all my teachers were quite proud of me I think, especially my 6th-grade teacher. But a lot of my classmates didn’t understand and I got bullied a lot for it. But I refused to do it. My mom was teaching public policy so…that probably influenced it a lot haha

Thanks a lot! I’m so glad title editing exists here

I’ve joined a ton of new discords in the past few weeks. they’re keeping me together until the threadiverse takes off.

OP could you edit your title with an accurate statement? Like: TIL it doesn’t matter if you make your community on Lemmy or kbin, they’re federated and will have equal exposure

That way people will get the right impression even without going to the comments :)

(btw I downvoted your post for now but I upvoted a comment because I felt bad about taking away your karma for asking a totally reasonable question)

For anyone who has followed League of Legends esports since the very very beginning, doublelift. There was a subreddit called /r/doubleliftstrophycase that sat empty for YEARS because he never managed to win anything despite trash-talking everyone in the scene (and admittedly a lot of individual talent). But then he started winning, and he didn’t stop winning. He’s now without question the most storied player in North America, and people refer to him as “the main character of the LCS.” A true legend.

in fact, emojis can really help to convey tone to multilingual speakers when you are saying something with a complicated mood 👍

Were you a subreddit mod? In this case my advice would be to contact the existing mods of the lemmy communities / kbin magazines and see if one of them is willing to hand the community over to you (add you as mod, they step down). If so, you’ve found your new home!

(you may want to re-make your account on the instance that you’re primarily spending time on, for convenience, in case federation doesn’t work for several hours at a time here and there, etc)

1, I realized I do, but its a js snippet to remove magazines’ custom styles. I disabled and tried again and same thing. For reference though, here’s where it’s happening
2. atm my firefox window is slightly wider than 1080 pixels.

Hi! I installed it, and a couple pieces of feedback:

1. when there’s an avatar, this gets kinda overlapped
2. sidebar is way too large when browser is fullscreen on a big monitor, that should get a width constraint

I love this though!

yeahhhhhhh if boost came with like a menu: “Boost to: -Your Personal Microblog -Magazine’s Microblog [pick] -Magazine as Article [pick]”

then the feature would be pretty baller

(actually im not sure if your personal microblog exists so…maybe just the other 2)
