For those of us in Canada I hope one day we get coverage without Ads... That's my favorite part of the US GP weekends. :D
I enjoy this comment so much. :D
I have also deleted my apps, and unbookmarked the page. I sometimes still mistakenly auto pilot to the website but quickly get off.
It's interesting to me how this will play out. Personally I think it will hurt beehaw more than the other instances. The issue today on Lemmy is that communities are too small. I'm trying to kickstart a few and I imagine any community that is on beehaw today will now have a split community on one of the two unfederated instances.
This is going to be my hot take of the day.
Cars are very much part of our lives and we decided that there was a minimum age to own and operate them. I could potentially get behind a system where we don't let children below a certain age operate / own a phone.
It's illegal to smoke with a kid in your car, but we have no problem giving a 10 year old kid unfiltered internet 24/7 as a society.
Well I think it’s stupid and pointless that you miss pointless arguments. Are we doing it right?
Ohh for sure!
What you just want substance in your life? No debates over if Captain Picard could kick Luke Skywalkers ass? Everyone knows it's Picard all the way. :D
To me Reddit was always the comments and less about the news story. The pulse of what was happening in your country, or town, or hobby, etc. I'm sure that will happen here on Lemmy too in time.
I'm really hoping that lemmy can see a larger uptick in engagement. I know I should be the change I want to see in the world. However the thing I miss the most is pointless arguments in the comments section. :D
As a self reply, we need some comment drama. Two users arguing over if it's Zed or Zee to boost engagement. :D
Yeah I've been doing the best I can to post 2-3 news articles a day to hopefully kick start some activity. :D
14 years here checking in. Such is life, I left digg, I'll leave Reddit.
Happy to see formula 1 on Lemmy! I'm gone from Reddit so race day I'll be refreshing here madly. 😃
I don't think there is an expectation that the rules from https://join-lemmy.org apply to every instance. That's just the software's "Join our kind" page.
Now lemmy.ml is a bit of a special case given that it's run by the dev's. However I wouldn't expect lemmy.ca to be beholden to any code of conduct. After all lemmygrad.ml is very not welcoming.
It's amazing that they have had years of people complaining about mods and it's always been "if you don't like the moderation policy of a community, you can find one that better suits your tastes" but when it impacts them suddenly there is a need for a policy change and democracy.
