Maybe it's Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia? They would be using Australian dollars, with $ as the currency symbol.

To be fair, Virginia illegally seceded from the Union. Illegally seceding from an illegal secession makes you a patriot I think.

You know what, I’m down. I think life in Mega Virginia will probably be better than life in Indiana now. Can we also do Long Massachusetts?

Do they have any new air exhibits?

That’s good to hear, that shows the Sync dev was most likely being honest when he said buying the paid version of the app would completely disable the ad library.

You and I have the exact same ice cream preferences.

Interesting. Is retirement just a sabbatical until death?

If you’re a big player on your instance it may be courteous to make a goodbye post, but I think you’re probably just free to go. While most public instances like to have more members to some extent (including me, as a Lemmy instance admin), the largest plus of federation is it’s cool for people to shift around, the content will still spread.

One of the important things is to not beat yourself up over little things. Everybody makes countless small mistakes when socializing, but it’s only toxic to dwell on them. Often, if you just continue the conversation, the other person may not have even noticed the mistake.

To add to what everyone else is saying, Lemmy is by definition a federated Reddit clone. It’s in the documentation and the initial commentary about this service, this place is meant to emulate Reddit to some extent so it makes sense that the two would be compared frequently.

One thing I’ve also seen people mention that could help is weighting the hot and active algorithms to prioritize smaller communities on the home feed. I remember that Reddit’s algorithm did that and it made it significantly easier to see content from communities that weren’t just the largest memes and news communities.

Damn, imagine posting about piracy to the piracy community. That’s crazy!

I use the streaming services I have for unrelated reasons (included with something else usually) in a half-hearted attempt to support the creators, but I will pirate most viewing media (TV + movies) by default now.

That’s wack. Passphrases are second only to random passwords generated by a password generator in terms of security, character proximity doesn’t matter with that much length.

I can say confidently there are at least 1057 atoms in the sun. Take that scientists.

From what I can tell yes. There’s no established connection, the data is sort of just broadcasted.

Edit: I was operating under a misunderstanding, please refer to andrew’s response.

It’s difficult to moderate. Advertising isn’t always clear, and while overt advertising is almost always removed and banned there are more subtle forms of it that are indistinguishable from any other post of someone using a product. For that kind of advertising it just has to be user discretion, don’t buy products just because you saw them in a Lemmy post.

This is a really good way of explaining the difference.

Probably a rat. I would only live 2-3 years, but they’d hopefully be a good 2-3 years.

Satan has created a library that runs as efficiently as possible and covers every possible use case, and all we need to do to get access is sacrifice 1000 virgins. Do it for the cause.
