Case in point

See I get that but I also feel like Lemmy in some ways has more hostile discourse. Too many people with incredibly entrenched opinions about something incredibly niche who then proceed to shout down anyone who doesn't partake in that niche.

Like at least on Reddit the aggressive circlejerks tend to align with mainstream thought. Like you don't have to point out things like Linux isn't actually perfect and there are reasons Windows may be better in some circumstances or that invading a foreign country because of something they might hypothetically do is not a nice thing to do.

And not just the instance admins would be at risk as well. Any time you view an image your device is making a local copy of it. Meaning every person who viewed the image even accidentally is at risk as well.

... I can think of one possibility - an instance known that lemmy.world recently defederated from.

I'd hate to live in a world where just because something isn't immediately useful it shouldn't be researched.

Being able to demonstrate the ability to suppress a sonic boom would be huge.

I'm currently doing it mainly because I haven't worked out what I want to subscribe to yet.

Also let's not forget the Hexbear "Russia is good actually" posts.

Let's be honest this is how it actually usually plays out:

1. Be a huge company

2. Make your employees sign an NDA

3. Make your code closed source

4. Use GPL code and not give a shit because you're a huge company with a legal team bigger than your Dev team

how we never got proper authorization

Why do I feel like this is a domestic abuse situation. Husband broke her laptop in order to reduce her attempts to communicate with others? She goes to get it repaired, he finds out.

I think it's the belief that the wife can't authorise the repair..
