If the spider is in your home without consent I support trapping it and kicking it out.
If the spider or mosquito is trying to bite you, then I support your self defense actions much like if a human was trying to bite your arm you’d be in the right to use force.
The community may be of interest to non-diehard fans but did you ever consider that you are of no interest to the community?
I agree with your point that it’s possible but not applicable to 99.9% of people
Replace cow with human and see if it passes the test.
Is it ethical to give a human a scarf? Yes. Well it’s also ethical to give a cow a scarf.
Is it ethical to shoot a human in the head? No? Well it’s also unethical to shoot a cow in the head.
Two things.
1 - It’s the backyard chicken problem. Yes your mom doesn’t harm them, but when producing at scale people care less about not harming them
2 - Replacing their honey with sugar is not good because it lacks the vitamins and nutrients that honey has. It’s very possible that you don’t take all the honey so they are never harmed by the actions, but when farming at scale people will absolutely push the limit.
Wikipedia Foundation actually spends more money giving grants to other projects/orgs than they spend on hosting costs, and that’s still like 20% of their budget!! It’s so crazy
What if the web of trust is calculated with upvotes and downvotes? We already trust server admins to store those.
Small instances are cheap, so we need a way to prevent 100 bot instances running on the same server from gaming this too
Can we afford to buy freedom.us?
When you put it that way, fediverse is probably better for official companies. I suppose that’s what bluesky was doing with their protocol too
and then when your main instance shuts down you can’t log into any again. So what’s the benefit asides from bypassing defederation? (And this wouldn’t even be a benefit, because instances defederate because they don’t like the users, so if you let people log in with oauth from a hated instance then you’d also get defederated
Oh I remember that!
MrBeast explained in a podcast that the subscription is so only other youtubers bother to see it, he doesn’t want to bore casual followes with the stats he posts.
Wefwef is amazing, how can someone make it so quickly while the reddit app sucks?
haha
Lemmy in the last few days is absolutely tiny compared to a site like reddit, and already instances are struggling to cope.
While this is true, 5 days ago lemmy.ml, the biggest instance, was on a 67 EUR server which is very small. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36270094
Posts like this: https://lemm.ee/post/58472 suggest it is a problem
This is a scaling problem (having more users means you need more mods) but I disagree with how they handled it and it isn’t a money related thing. My thoughts on this are in an older post when this was first announced https://partizle.com/comment/64178
Why should a handful of “lucky” servers have to pay all the hosting costs?
My initial idea is to use the something awful model of paying a one time fee to register an acount. The problem is that people would just sign up on another instance that doesn’t charge a fee but still add load to the lucky instance. Another approach could be to participate in communities on one of those lucky servers then you need to pay a one time fee to that server (comments would need to be removed by a bot if they’re not made by an approved user). I’m not saying that’s perfect, but it’s an idea. Adsense is another idea.
Here’s an idea: in apollo you swipe left on a comment to collapse the current commet’s thread, this would be nice too.
DJI is a chinese company and it is easier for them to just publish an apk rather than submit to all app stores
Meh if you have $200k+ in sales last year then you have enough money to pay the most important vendor of your product
