So many limits and restrictions, including getting ten gold a year, to cash out. I don’t see reddit having to give out much money here.

Responded!

Have you noticed an increase in Lemmy usage since the Reddit migration?

This probably needs an option for “not applicable”. If someone came in with the migration, it’s hard for them to compare with the Before Times that they weren’t here for. (I had to choose ‘not sure’.)

Answering questions you didn’t ask:

1. Did I move from reddit exclusively to Lemmy? No; I’m getting some of my tech needs from ycombinator, meme content from imgur, and I’m also on tildes.

2. How does your frequency and type of interaction (post, comment, read) on Lemmy compare to your time on reddit? I’m slightly less active on Lemmy than I was on reddit, mostly because some effort is sucked onto yc, imgur and tildes. Anecdotally, I know some people who are less active here because they’re finding less content to interact with; as well as people who are much more active here, because the communities aren’t overrun with bots, trolls, shills, and other people acting in bad faith.

The moment the headline said “indoctrinate”, we all knew what this list was going to include.

I’m willing to answer as well. The grad student should really just post this on AskLemmy.

Oh, this bullshit website again? Fuck your bullshit, and fuck that site, you’re all blocked.

The X owner said erecting a paywall around the business would ward off the bots, or automated accounts, that have become a bugbear for Musk.

Idiot manchild proudly breaks something he knows nothing about, complains when it doesn’t work as expected, news at eleven.

OP is also the only person who’s submitting the site here. Also, one of the links from the site that they submitted here is of “Interesting video from South America showing what looks like an alien abduction”, to which OP added the comment “Kiind of interesting don’t know if you guys can see the person being sucked into the cloud”. So yeah, I suspect you are correct to be dubious about this source.

Nah, it’s “She has recognized that which was wrong and has repented. God has forgiven her and who are we to judge?”

Of course, when it’s a liberal, it’s, “They refuse to recant their evil ways, we must stone them to death!”

Damnit, I can’t find it microscopic violin!

The pandemic made it clear to us that our literal lives don’t matter. Record profits have pretty much never made their way into worker’s pockets. Wages have been stagnant against forty years of inflation and record housing costs, while shareholders and C-suites struggle to decide between a private jet or a second yacht. And climate change is coming for all of us. Given all that, why the fuck should we care about some job that has literally never cared about us? Why wouldn’t we get to pursue some work-life balance, and spend what little time and money that are being left to us on something that makes us happy?

Bishopric of Basel admits mistakes in sex abuse case

I’m curious if they followed the US roadmap. When the US Catholic Church realized they had a sex abuse problem back in the 80’s, they took immediate action … and bought sex abuser insurance for every diocese and archdiocese in the entire country, destroyed a bunch of documentation on the abuse, moved other files to Washington DC where they could be covered by diplomatic immunity, and continued to move abusive priests to fresh churches with no warning to the congregation, and moving worse offenders overseas, out of reach of the Justice Department. All the while, they also restructured local and regional churches to ensure that each was it’s own individual entity, and that as many of the assets as possible were completely untouchable.

If they get sued, they deny everything, fight every request for discovery, attack the victims’ characters, and say it must have been an isolated incident. If forced to pay out, they rely on those extremely low-premium high-payout insurance policies they bought; if the payout goes beyond what’s covered by insurance, the church pleads poverty because all the assets are ‘owned’ by some other entity, and if pressed they’ll declare local bankruptcy.

Not that I’m bitter or anything …

Archive version. I can’t help but wonder if he negotiated a nice severance package to make RFEF’s headache go away :(

They’re going to be concrete steps by which they can investigate and clear themselves out and wrongdoing, before they head out on vacation with their billionaire “friends”.

It needs to be prison time, otherwise it’s just the cost of doing business.

Remember, he grew up a rich white boy in full apartheid South Africa, and never matured beyond that. He has no ability for self-reflection or introspection. Which means he’s never wrong, so someone else must be to blame. So far, that’s included religious, racial, and sexual minorities. He’s only going to grow more deranged as time goes on.

many of white drivers. […] the officers were trying to appear more productive.

And less racist.

In her decision, Howell also accused Giuliani of destroying evidence relevant to the case.

Well, that’s interesting. I wonder if he’s destroyed evidence in any other cases he might be involved in. (That’s rhetorical, btw - if he’s done it here, then of course he’s done it in the much more serious January 6th case.)

They’re just splitting their lawsuit into two parts, not abandoning it.

I don’t know. Covid is rising in my area, yet I was one of only two people at the grocery store wearing masks today. The lady with her germy kid behind me at the checkout kept crowding forward into me as well. When I asked her to give me space, she just gave me a filthy look. I had to move my cart behind me to force more space between us.
