Well they weren’t fleeing persecution at all. Most of them were born in the US, years after the Quakers had stopped being persecuted in England.
Mostly Christians, but in the same way my parents say they’re Christian. A churchless general belief in god and heaven. Deists, I think the proper word is.
It’s OK to call Musk a Pedo, because that’s apparently a common expression in South Africa.
At least that’s the excuse he used when he called it to the cave diver who made him look a twat by actually rescuing children, rather than posturing with a robot that wouldn’t fit in the cave.
In fairness a lot of the people “fleeing religious persecution” were the nutcases who thought there wasn’t enough of it.
Terrified of all brown people, like half of America post 9/11
I hope it’s a draw.
Russia must be loving this. Now nobody is talking about a third of their air force being wiped out by toy drones.
And who was he looking at when he mouthed “she’s hot”?
That’s right, an 11 year old Nicky Jam.
Yeah, but Trump got what he wanted first.
What I really love about this is that Trump is so narcissistic that he earnestly believed that Elon liked him. That he believed in his vision for the country and that he wouldn’t want anything in return, like a load more juicy government contracts, a bill to mandate that petrol cars would be phased out, or all safety regulations about self driving cars to be torn up.
Bless his cold dead heart for being exactly what everybody knows he is. Everybody except those idiots who jump into bed with him, because all those other people he betrayed were losers who just weren’t smart enough.
We all saw him do a Nazi salute, twice, on live TV.
All all we got was “pfft, if you’re not even reciting the 14 words and doing it to a picture of the führer, is it even a real Nazi salute?”
Not 100% sure. As a guess based on how I think the Fediverse works, I think they’d exist, but new comments and posts would cease to sync around, so they’d effectively be only on your instance.
I like Lemmy, but it’s not decentralised enough to avoid things like this.
I think it’s inevitable right now, even if it’s a lot rarer than it was during the great exodus from reddit. You’re reliant entirely on the goodwill of volunteers.
User accounts are unique only to an instance, and there’s no way to move them. If we want to avoid this, having multiple homes on an account would be a good first step. You probably don’t want them going everywhere (as that would need login details, which while hashed wouldn’t be immune to bad actors getting them). But making a new account elsewhere isn’t hard, it’s just annoying to lose your history.
Any lost communities are much harder to replace. Links get broken, etc. You can’t move those either, so have to make them anew and convince people to update any links before they vanish.
Honestly not sure if Lemmy’s approach is a good one or not. Recently we’ve had transphobic users from one instance harassing people on another, and without things like IP addresses, it’s hard to stop that. Your own instance also has to host a bunch of stuff from other places, and you can end up with illegal content being copied to your own hardware if hosting an instance. Maybe it should be on the instances to host communities, and on the clients to gather things from multiple servers.
Gets it fucking clean, I’ll tell you that.
Today Piers was not a twat.
He should frame that because it’s a pretty rare event.
I’m a Democratic Socialist, apparently.
Marxism-Leninism: 0%
Good.
Shut up and give us your gay money.
So they fucking should be.
