A federation of absolute dictatorships. Some are more enlightened than others but if an instance bans you there is no independent appeal process.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it expected to drink alcohol on first date?
55·6 months agoWhat is expected is that you are kind to your date and spend your time getting to know each other.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•If someone where to use the term "Adult Playground", what would you think it describes?English
12·6 months agoIt would depend on the context. If I saw it on PornHub, I’d assume something related to porn. If I saw it in a flyer from the local Parks & Rec department, I’d think it was a standard children’s playground, but for adults.
Simply by itself, I’d default to the park thing.

6·6 months agoElvis Costello but I’ve only seen him twice. I like CAKE a lot too and have seen them 4 or 5 times.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why should I continue to financially support the development of Lemmy when the developers operate .ml, an instance that is a prime example of arbitrary censorship?English
284·6 months agoThat’s not what your question says though. Your question asks for reasons why you should support the development of Lemmy because you don’t like the moderation decisions that the developers make on their instance. That’s a different question than “how can I support the software without supporting the people making it.” The answer to that is you can’t.
As others have said, you can fund your instance if you so choose. You can also try to fund a fork/replacement.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why should I continue to financially support the development of Lemmy when the developers operate .ml, an instance that is a prime example of arbitrary censorship?English
16·6 months agoYou should not continue supporting it if you don’t feel that the developers aren’t deserving of your money.
There’s so much closed-source business software that only runs on x64 that x64 will be here for a very long time.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is a movie that "looks like" it would suck, but actually is well written and acted and a good time?English

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you take the deal: Musk admits he rigged the election and provides proof in exchange for a pardon from the next Democratic president.English
1·6 months agoLaw is unclear what happens to Trump and GOP certainly won’t impeach
The law is extremely clear on what happens. Nothing. The only way the President can be removed from office is through the impeachment process. He could be conceivably charged after he is removed from office, but he would remain the President until his term ends.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's something about Microsoft Outlook that drives you crazy?English

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone else find chavs (aka bogans/gopniks) attractive?English
5·6 months agoI knew “chav” was British slang, but I found it hilarious that the OP provided synonyms that didn’t help in any sense.
Acer Aspire.
100 MHz Pentium, 4 MB RAM, 14.4 modem. 4x CD-ROM.
No, predicting the future by way of esoteric knowledge is not real. Anyone who says they can do it is delusional or lying to you.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do you run a YouTube channel? Tell us about itEnglish
8·6 months agoI do short beer reviews in French. I am not a great French speaker, and so far I’m still going with a script, so I have no excitement in my voice. It was meant as a joke and it’s sort of intentionally bad. I only have 2 videos. They always get posted to PeerTube first.

I’ve been a fan of Rammstein for many years. I know the gist of what each song means and know a few words of German. But I can’t translate word for word.
