Kabosu is still alive

Only suss because you heard about this story

It kinda is though? I recommend people shop around and find a country that they enjoy, then they won’t mind paying taxes.

?? What does race have to do with this

In the short term

If the spider is in your home without consent I support trapping it and kicking it out.

If the spider or mosquito is trying to bite you, then I support your self defense actions much like if a human was trying to bite your arm you’d be in the right to use force.

Because a lot of women perpetuate societal standards of toxic masculinity and make men feel unwelcome

The community may be of interest to non-diehard fans but did you ever consider that you are of no interest to the community?

I agree with your point that it’s possible but not applicable to 99.9% of people

Replace cow with human and see if it passes the test.

Is it ethical to give a human a scarf? Yes. Well it’s also ethical to give a cow a scarf.

Is it ethical to shoot a human in the head? No? Well it’s also unethical to shoot a cow in the head.

Two things.

1 - It’s the backyard chicken problem. Yes your mom doesn’t harm them, but when producing at scale people care less about not harming them

2 - Replacing their honey with sugar is not good because it lacks the vitamins and nutrients that honey has. It’s very possible that you don’t take all the honey so they are never harmed by the actions, but when farming at scale people will absolutely push the limit.

This was an exploit in lemmy software and affected multiple instances though

Yup that’s why I still buy clothes from sweatshops with kids working in them.

In all seriousness you’re right, but I believe people have a much lower tolerance than they think they do, but they just avoid thinking about it

Cows don’t photosynthesize they eat a shit ton of plants to make a tiny amount of meat so if you really care about plants you would eat the plants directly and skip the middlemen that waste 90% of the plant matter

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish, Enshittify

What if the web of trust is calculated with upvotes and downvotes? We already trust server admins to store those.

Small instances are cheap, so we need a way to prevent 100 bot instances running on the same server from gaming this too

Can we afford to buy freedom.us?

When you put it that way, fediverse is probably better for official companies. I suppose that’s what bluesky was doing with their protocol too

and then when your main instance shuts down you can’t log into any again. So what’s the benefit asides from bypassing defederation? (And this wouldn’t even be a benefit, because instances defederate because they don’t like the users, so if you let people log in with oauth from a hated instance then you’d also get defederated
