I recently went car shopping, and I had considered an EV. I told someone this, and she immediately started recommending Tesla to me, despite Elon's bullshit. She tried to tell me that Elon's insanity doesn't change that Tesla is the "best product in the space".
I have to admit, Elon's bullshit was a big factor in not even giving Tesla the time of day, but there's also issues just like this one. I do not want a car that prioritizes gee-whiz geegaws over basic safety like this.
Dude walks around looking like that and calls anyone else unattractive.
A streaming service has no name.
Can I just say, I fucking hate that line in particular. It's a thought-killing cliché.

Stunned to see SLC, of all places, do this. I'd have thought the Mormon church would have used their considerable influence to put a stop to it. I'm sure they tried to do so, and am pleasantly surprised to see they failed.

Using a discussion forum moderated by someone is a completely different thing than using code written by them. A mod or admin of an instance has power to shape discussion on that instance.
It's not just about "supporting" him in some abstract sense, it's about potentially exposing blahaj users to the very hate that blahaj is meant to be a safe space from.
Oh, fuck off with your bigoted bullshit that "we all know".
Multiple states: "Let's literally use the force of law to ban trans people from existing."
This jackoff: "Hmmm, I just don't know if the bourgeoisie is really against trans rights! It's so hard to tell!"
I'm not going to weigh in on the defederation issue. I don't use enough .ml communities to know how this guy's views reflect in the moderation policies of the instance. But fuck him in particular.
The problem with moving to another server software is that there's a much bigger developer ecosystem around Lemmy. Other projects simply can't match that.
Like, there are multiple Lemmy clients in Google Play and F-Droid, for example. There isn't even one for PieFed in either store.
Yeah, I ended up going with a Hyundai. I take delivery on it later this week, and I can't wait.
