Can anyone explain why lemmy decided to remove websockets, what they decided to adopt instead of websockets, and to what extent websockets are being removed? I still feel like I don’t understand this move (but I’m sure there’s a good reason)

well, if you’re willing to blow $250K on a submarine joyride when people are dying of malaria and would survive with $10 of medication, you deserve every 🦀 you get. RIP BOZOS.

hey, why’d you use the r-word there?

Also, specifically addressing your spoiler,

I live my life as if I have unlimited free will, and I view the world as if everyone else is fully determined by their circumstances. And then I just ignore the contradiction. Ez pz

Tour firm OceanGate, which runs $250,000-a-seat expeditions to the wreck,

fucking mind-boggling

This is a really good argument until you learn that mass shooters are less than one in a million but child sexual abusers are more than one in a hundred, despite there being tens of millions of FPS players and probably only hundreds of thousands of CSAM consumers in America. It’s a catchy gotcha but it completely fails to hold up under material scrutiny.

Mass shootings and child sexual abuse are very different things, and so are CSAM and video games. You would benefit from losing some of the reductivism you’ve got there.

hey friend have you considered that maybe we shouldn’t be adhering to archaic and unenforced “rules” made by christofash pedophiles on a mass shooting message board because of “DAE Le Rule 34? XD”

“characters who are petite/young-looking but not obviously underage”

yeah of course they’re not gonna come out and say “yeah we want to host and share drawn CSAM” and they’re going to be weasely and sneaky about it, do you really plan to take pedophiles and pedophile enablers at the honor of their word here

the venn diagram is a circle

also, that aside, “the resources” here are a little different, mounting investigative operations to bust lolicons/pedophiles (same thing) requires more resources than just flipping the switch off on some pedophile’s ability to communicate freely

please say /s rn

Hi friend, it’s not my instance and not my business, but have you considered that lemmy maybe doesn’t have the userbase to support the number of highly niche and specific communities you’ve been making lately? I’m concerned that our own /c/gaming in total is probably getting less posts than an /r/rpclipsgta would get on Reddit. This, in my mind, will kind of make lemmy look like a ghost town, with hundreds of empty comms at less than one post per month, posts which would all probably fit in and be voted up in their relevant umbrella communities, until we get our userbase up and actually start experiencing crowding in those umbrella communities. Have you considered things from this angle?

To add to this, yes, other lemmy.world users will see it, but if the post gets deleted over there for beehaw reasons, we wouldn’t know or have any say, it’d be gone if beehaw ever went down, OP will never be able to participate in discussions, posts made on beehaw that violate our rules will still make their way over here, and more. It’s just not a good fix. Let them be a splinter community and repost the links and images to your home instance or a relevant instance.

They did defederate with us (lemmygrad) long before the reddit drama actually, and definitely for political reasons, but as of lately their reasons for their recent defederation from the other, less-political instances seem much more pragmatic. There was talk of defederating with lemmy.ml too for similar reasons to why they defederated from lemmygrad, but I’m wrong about the recent reasons, the newer defederation surge seems to be for a multitude of reasons.

When some liberals find themselves on the right wing of an argument, a really common rhetorical strategy they use is to pivot to accuse their opponents of being socially backwards. Most of the anti-LGBT critiques coming from the Beehaw camp are just materially uninformed attempts to claim moral high ground and deflect away from an actual heavy hitting discussion

The US knows what it’s doing with these sanctions. Possibly as many as millions will die, but it’s tactically expedient for the US for that to happen. Not a fan of Russia, but their continued dealings with Pakistan are granting them the oil they need to prevent at least tens of thousands of deaths.

it means two things

1. the soviets were 50 years ahead of their time in social progressivism
2. original commenter doesn’t understand economics

It’s crazy how thoroughly memory-holed the entirety of the soviet space program was. They clearly won the space race, both as a matter of technological progression and social milestones, but somehow the US state managed to hoodwink its people into believing that the space race was always about landing on the moon, not putting up a satellite wait no putting a person in space wait no not that one either putting a person in orbit shit they keep beating us

FUCK yeah comrade

Down with the dollar
