Should be using AdNauseam by default imo. Based on uBlock but also clicks on every ad to cost advertisers money for wasted clicks.

Chances are it hasn't been federated by the instance yet. You can force it by using the search feature and searching @magazine@instance

So if you search @[email protected] it should federate. It won't load old posts but anything new should show up.

Edit: this usually will work, but not in this case. I checked out the website itself and sorting by all communities rather than local only shows local posts, so maybe they completely disabled federation

100 companies have contributed over 70% of greenhouse gas emissions. Only 100.

Do you really think that an average joe can make a difference? The blame doesn't lay on ordinary people. Us polluting is a byproduct of corporations polluting.

I wish news would stop saying the broad term human activity and more accurately say corporate activity.

Yes, the general population contributes to climate change, but the real polluters are the big companies manufacturing things, big oil, etc. They don't care about what they're doing and lobby govt's to put the blame on the citizens.

When I hear gimp outside of the context of the software, I think of gimp suits. In my area I've never heard gimp used as a slur for disabled people.

I get that there's regional slang and what not, but if every word that offended anyone anywhere was banned, we would have to limit our words to the point of barely being able to communicate.

In my area, depending who you are, a silly term as "goof" is offensive. I almost got beat up for calling a guy one as a joke. Should I petition Disney to rename Goofy?

FUD has been a term since the 1970s. It has nothing to do with crypto

I see it more as us going back to the good old days. Websites and social platforms get hosted by interested people with the extra money to get a server going, whether it be for a unique website or an instance in the fediverse or other decentralized networks. Donation supported, nothing required. Maybe some donor icon.

Take the internet back. Quit supporting websites by big companies who have money and whose goal is to use you as the product. Support your fav nerds hosting the platforms you enjoy using. The internet had social websites before FB and twitter. We don't need companies to run the internet for us.

Ahh, the good old days of making different userbars. I think that's actually how I got started learning programs like gimp and photoshop lol

Anyway, it probably changed when social media took off. Preferences shifted and they fell out of style. I didn't mind smaller signatures with a few userbars and stuff, but they did sometimes get crazy if there weren't image size limits or limits of the amount of pics allowed in a signature.

Breaching a court prohibition order related to a bestiality offence — Section 160(5)

That doesn't seem right...

If amazon was solely a marketplace they may have an argument but seeing as they're arguing the content moderation and targeted advertising to kids, they seem to be forgetting they own twitch, a very large online platform that serves ads out the ass
