Noooooooooo. No.

Everyone and every organization has a bias. Even a "neutral" bias is a bias. Finding out which way their bias leans is good info to figure out.

Someday maybe people won't use attractiveness as a symbol for intelligence and morals, but not today...

For someone who claimed to not be a fan of OpenAI, you sure do know all the fan arguments against regulation for AI.

Some people are missing the forest for the trees here

Having a businesses app on your phone is better regular advertising than anything they could ever pay for.

They just want an excuse to make you look at their logo and think about their business as regularly as possible

You wanted to say "You can be on lemmy without bringing reddit here." And phrased it as a bad question so you could post it here. You just want to soapbox.

Managing the content of your own feed is your responsibility. If people post off topic in communities, handle it with a report, not another post.

You are creating what you are complaining about. This thread is the most discussion about reddit I've seen in a week or more.

I mean if you want to know how it would effect me it wouldn't. Posts from beehaw don't even come up, flooded out by more active communities, unless I go directly to the beehaw comms. I functionally use it as a seperate website anyways now, if I ever feel like checking it.

I don't really understand your overall goal talk tho. You want to be nice in an intentionally vague way, but you feel like federation is somehow limiting you from achieving this vague state of niceness... Is it just moderation difficulties (not to downplay them) or is something else about leaving the fediverse door open problematic to being nice?

To be blunt the solution to your problems seems to me the same as every single other time beehaw federation is talked about: the community you want to achieve will require many more moderators than a typical community of equivalent size, they will need specialized mod tools, they will need to be high quality skilled highly vetted mods, and you will need exponentially more of them the more users appear on beehaw. Federation doesn't directly stop you from doing any of that, but it does lead to faster growth, which leads to too much work if you aren't constantly adding moderators to match growth.

You should be asking yourself how big you want beehaw to be, and how big of a beehaw you think can be achieved at all.

Sorry I didn't mean to be this rambly when I started writing ignore it if you want

Real talk

I'm fucking joking

Lol

We may never have a good answer for why the gay nerdy communists love the colorful scifi communist space adventures

I actually don't know anything about those. Were they put there while the soviet union still existed/built by the soviet union themselves, or were they put there later after by some fan of the soviet union? If the goal is to keep what is historical, regardless of political context, that would be the key distinction in my opinion.

I didn't want to be more specific than my memory lol, thanks for the detail.

Most confederate statues are cheap crap bulk built all over the place sometime after the civil war as a sort of long term propaganda. They aren't historical, they are reputation management.

I think those are supposed to be the ends of a wooden frame sticking through hay?

But that is me trying to guess what they were going for. It looks more like a cookie lol
