i think the mildly techy sounding waffle is the right way to set it up personally, it lulls you into a false sense of security thinking this is just some random tech nonsense and then bam, porn

yeah but then they’d be spending money to be told they might not be 100% right and perfect 100% of the time, and that’s just a waste of money
i never got into twitter, and the longer this goes on, the more glad i am about that
Even calling it a news update isn’t really accurate. It’s more akin to “water is wet.”
I’m off the bike for a few weeks with a right arm radial head fracture after I biffed it hitting a pothole while checking my map, so I’m using it as an excuse to play the Tale Of Two Wastelands mod for Fallout 3 and New Vegas. Trying to see how much of both games I can get through before I’m cleared to bike again.
That’s certainly a valid and important question, but I’m not sure how relevant it is to the question of how Lemmy increases its operating revenue. If I’m living minimalist but my issue is I can’t sustainably afford housing, food, and healthcare, there’s no way to solve that problem without solving the fundamental issue of me not making enough money. My impression is that that is the main question facing Lemmy at this moment, and so that’s what I was focused on.
I suspect most financial advisors would tell you that managing money is what you do when you have some.
As in, some kind of “contributor” badge next to your username? That’s also definitely a good way to do it. Basically, if it makes donations visible on the community level, I think it’s a benefit.
If it was just built into the base software, then every instance would have the option available by default, no? And then it would just be a question of directing the money to the right place and displaying the relevant icon on the awarded post or comment.
I’m no software engineer, though, so it’s entirely possible everything I’m saying is total bollocks. Still, worth considering if we’re thinking about the long-term health of this place, IMO.
I bet if we stole the idea of reddit gold and allowed people to award comments and posts, but 1. no premium membership and 2. make it clear that the money is going to help keep the service running, that would bring in a lot of revenue without harming the community.
oh-wah-ah-ah-ah
I’m going to leave mine up as a sort of testament to eleven years of my life. My last comment is, and will continue to be unless something drastic changes, some argument I was having with somebody about how to fix housing shortages, like the one in California.
17 days ago as of now. Weird feeling.
i mean, it’s probably entirely because of that wordplay aspect
I did read that that was actually a coincidence, and they already knew he was in the country. But reality is often stranger than fiction, so who knows.
there was an entire genre of posts where posters would say “ask me any question and then edit your comment to make me look bad”
there were also times i’d call out a racist and they’d edit their comment to make it look like i’d called out as racist someone who was saying something totally innocuous. but then i was usually not the only one doing it, and the comments in questions usually got downvoted to oblivion, not to mention the time-of-edit indicators, so anybody with half a brain cell could figure out exactly what had happened.
interior designers hate this one weird trick
if that was true then maybe the stingy fuckers would tip wait staff
