I don’t think they make money. It’s an open source project where people donate their time as far as I know.

EDIT: I forgot to mention you can donate to the project. Something has to pay for web hosting, I guess.

I built a new PC two months ago and it’s the first time I didn’t get Office. Libre Office has everything I need and it’s free.

You can turn that off in Group Policy if you have the Pro version of Windows.

I can understand this. This is a server hosted by an individual who doesn’t want the potential legal headaches that may arise. Everyone is free to make another account on another instance, or create their own instance.

You can always host your own instance. Then you can choose what is blocked and what isn’t.

Yeah, I built my new PC around 2 months ago. Maybe they are cheaper elsewhere but here in Australia they are very expensive. :(

256TB? That’s huge! How about an affordable 8TB SSD though? I ended up going with a HDD as a secondary drive because it was like a quarter of the price of high capacity SSDs.

I’ll have to disagree there. When you Favourite a post, the person that posted it gets a notification about the fact, while if you Bookmark something no notification is sent. In effect you are telling the person that you “Liked” their post.

Also, looking at the Explore section of Mastodon the following message is shown at the top of the feed:

>These are posts from across the social web that are gaining traction today. Newer posts with more boosts and favorites are ranked higher.

So those Favourites are used by the algorithm to rank posts. Bookmarks are totally private and only used to save posts for your own use.

I don’t see it that way. There are separate options to Favourite or Bookmark a post. To me Bookmarking something is so you can refer to it later, although nothing is stopping you using Favourites that way.

They are very expensive and not everyone has a garage where they can charge them. I can only park on the street so I would have to go to a charging point and sit in my car for the whole time it charges. Not as convenient as pumping petrol into my car for 2 minutes.

I recently got my first FreeSync monitor and it’s the best thing ever. Everything looks so smooth!

Wasted? I’ve browsed more dank memes than all of my ancestors combined.

There is a save button, looks like a star (on the desktop Lemmy).

What tutorial?

When there was an influx of users during the Reddit blackout, they said that they were getting lots of trolls and they couldn’t keep up with the moderation. Lemmy.world and Sh.itjust.works had the most traffic and were letting people sign up without vetting so the Beehaw admins decided to defederate those communities.
