The issue for me is this line, which still gets it wrong, because it should either replace the word "legislatures" with "professionals in the field" or say it should be done in consultation with.
the majority wrote that decisions on emerging policy issues like transgender care are generally better left to legislatures rather than judges.
Yes. There's a lot of projection going on here. While I understand that art allows us to see and project ourselves onto it, I don't believe a movie about a plastic fashion doll is quite the same.
I remember the weird hot sauce arms race from a while back where it seemed no one cared about flavor and were just trying to make the most absurdly hot liquids they could.
I'm sure some of those brands are still around, but it seems like people have decided that nuance is ok, too.
We'll see. Alcantara has been mortal this season, and the Phillies have had luck against him recently, AND ESPN has us as the favorites. So, I expect us to shit the bed.
Because the way Threads works is almost seamlessly allowing existing Instagram users to create a Threads account. There is no corollary for Masto or Lemmy or any Fed entities to do something similar.
It really depends. If you're in a smaller instance and you look at the global view, you're going to see more of Mr. 16.5% than one of the smaller ones.
Though I suspect usage patterns and the way users interact with instances beyond theirs will play a role. But, in an immediate sense, I could see larger instances having a bigger voice (so to speak).
And now I'll waffle and say it's all a crapshoot because people are unpredictable and social media platforms even more so.
So you find an instance you love, with a federation philosophy you agree with, and build up a brand (for lack of a better word) there.
What happens when that philosophy either changes or allows the instance to become something different than what originally appealed to you? Do you suck it up and stay or try to create a new presence elsewhere with minimal damage?
Yeah. And I find myself vacillating between agreeing with and disagreeing with the idea of defederation or partial defederation.
I think it requires enlightened admins to walk the line, which is a challenge. Not knocking the folks that run their respective instances, but they are humans who have their own motivations.
Nothing would piss me off more than getting banned from a sub I never had any intention of visitng much less engaging in because I commented on a post from one of their disliked subs.
Man, I love a good tomato assortment
I dreamed just the other day that I broke mine.
We would also accept "Reject all"

I don't love this, but I'm willing to wait if it means not wrecking some kid's chances at a career.

It's corporate synergy, baby.
Yeah. There's almost no argument to be made, no list of caveats and requirements designed to prevent misuse, that can make a law like this palatable.
One need only look at the US' FISA program to see that the public just won't have it.
They got so used to the protests that it seems too quiet now.

3067 is a lot of ways to slice half a pie. I'd consider even 16.5% (or whatever the top dog of that 3 with 50% has) to be domination.
Exactly.

The curse of spending too much time in r/All.
Actually 5 now.
You probably got banned because you referred to it as being from "The Office", when it's originally from "SNL"

Junk article.
