Thank you for the context.

I don’t understand this post. Whatever you bought then for they’re still good for. People’s opinions don’t make them less useful.

Wait until OP hears about the Index at the back of the book.

Only if you directly use their instance.

Well, if you download software like qBittorrent be sure to not accidentally download and torrents to copyrighted content.

Most people don’t have diabetes.

I like them (the trailers) but I see a movie mostly every week so it’s not important I see them all every time because of repeats.

This is like assuming everyone has a car because most people do.

Why show up on time? Most theaters have assigned seats now. Just show up 20 minutes after start time.

Asking someone to stop spamming is a form of curation.

Uh no, it’s an acronym.

M: Mac’s

A: Not

C: Unix

Yep, parts of my family have it and other parts do not.

It’s normal to see a big initial spike and see things taper off. Also I think there were a lot of spam accounts in the past that got deleted (or something) so that may be part of it as well.

JSON, and it had more to do with how they were checking string lengths. But yeah, the general story is that a random dude fixed massive problems with the text parsing.

Making announcements to somewhere you have to log in to see is the problem. You can’t see Discord chats unless You’re logged in.

That’s still just two separate communities. Like a filter. That’s fine. That’s not what OP is suggesting though. What OP is suggesting is much more extreme.

You can already view a community from any instance. Just subscribe to communities you want. Support more and smaller instances of you want more decentralization. Lemmy.world going down taking out so many communities with it is a problem of too much being hosted there. Everything you’re describing basically already exists. It would be very silly to force communities to merge with other ones. Just because they have the same name doesn’t mean they have the same rules.

Put backslashes before literal asterisks. \*

Whether or not that is what the purpose of that community is that is what the Blahaj admins believe the purpose of it is and that’s why they chose to defederate.

Edit: See the end of the chat in this comment, it shows what I am mentioning. https://lemmynsfw.com/comment/683605

They’re saying it’s (in their opinion, lemmynsfw admins disagree) a community devoted to crossing the line and appearing to be underaged. The Blahaj admins are saying that’s what the problem is, not just a few random users who look underaged.

Well no, they defederated because they have a problem with a community that tries to look like they’re underaged. Not individuals looking underaged but they’re saying they don’t like that there is a community for that type of content. It’s fine to disagree with them over the truth of that, but you shouldn’t change their reasoning.
