Unfortunately, that isn’t feasible in the current system. In first past the post every vote is damage control at best.

We need ranked choice voting everywhere before people will even consider a third party.

Yep. They rewrote the progression/leveling system like 5 times.

Yep, the captchas are great. I’ve got mine set to an NFC card in another room. It forces me to get out of bed and walk to another room to tap my phone on it to turn off the alarm.

I think they’re rationalizing it by saying that’s a juvenile sandworm. The larger one with the round mouth is fully grown.

They probably just wanted a design difference between a smaller human scale threat and the massive ones that eat entire structures like spice harvesters.

I get why you would want that, but I think that would end up causing other weird issues. Like what happens when someone from that instance is in the middle of a comment chain? Would it cut off the thread there, or would there just be a comment missing?

I’ll take the simple solution over no solution.

There really isn’t any way to ‘migrate’ right now. You can create accounts on as many instances as you like, but there isn’t a solution for carrying post and comment history over. You can start here: https://github.com/maltfield/awesome-lemmy-instances

Check a few out and find an instance you like that aligns with your views or where you agree with the moderation. Preferably a small to medium sized one that hasn’t been overloaded.

YouTube has a pretty good collection of obscure tracks

This is because current Youtube policy effectively bundles ContentID and YouTube Music. Basically if a rightsholder wants to put audio into ContentID, they are forced to also publish it on Youtube Music (topic channels).
